her masterpiece being How He
Won His Freedom" a short story
by no means of easy presentation.

We call your attention to the adj

believe it would be decidedly to your
interest to see Mr.. Vance at the

you better than cotton and the boil!

soil in the county is specially adapt
ed to the production of this crop and

In Memory.

On last Sunday night, Feb. "a,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Rrs. e. J. Berrymal and
took from them their Oldest daugh-
ter, Mamie. She was about l ; years
of age. She was not sick very long,
but oh, she suffered so much for a
few hours. Mamie died about $50
or 8 o clock Sunday night.
She professed a hope in Christ
last summer and was baptized and
joined the Missionary Baptist church.
We all know that she has gone to
rest with God and his angels ever
more. She leaves a father, mother,
brother and sister, and a host OF
friends and relatives to mourn thei
loss. But our loss is Heavens gain,
o, how they will all miss her. But
weep not for her, dear people, for
she has gone to rest. Now let US
all prepare to meet her on the hap
by golden shore where sad parting
comes no more, but all will be sun
shine and love.
Mamie was laid to rest Monday
afternoon in the silent tomb at
Providence. Sleep on, sweet Ma
smie, and take thy rest. We can
see you here no more, but we will
meet you in the sweet bye and bye.
Mamie was loved by all who knew
her. She was such a good, kind
girl, always met everybody with a
smile. | know the angels in heaven
are rejoicing now with her sweet
spirit. Weep not for her, dear peo-
pie, but prepare to meet her on the
happy golden shore.

The Government of the United
States is arranging to take legal
p secession of the Hamburg Ameri-
can and North German-Lloyd Steam
ship lines, and, if Congress says the
word, the enormously valuable dock
facilities in the port of New York
will he sold to the highest bidder,
preferably American interests. 1t
is said the worst blow that could be
struck at German trade after the
war is to take away the very valua-
BILE dock and terminal facilities
built up by her lines in the last 20
years. The value of the German
line docks has been estimated to
run away up in the millions.
