tiers at Newton Center, Mass. He was
called here late Saturday night, and his
daughter, Mrs. f. w. Padleford came
later in the week to attend the funeral.
His other daughter, Miss Gertrude
llsley is convalescing from a recent i'll
ness and was unable to be present as
was his son George B. Jr,, who lives in
Washington, d. c. Three years ago,
for few months, the Rev. George B 4.
lIsley was acting pastor of the church
here.
Colonel and Mrs. llsley had no living
children. Two sons were born to them,
but died in their early manhood. They
had however, a deep interest in child
welfare as was evidenced at the time of
the proposition to provide new school
building in Middlebury when it was the
Colonel who urged upon the village the
modern structure which it now posses
ses.
Following Colonel Ilsley's death, his
body rested up to noon yesterd ~ at his
apartments at the Addison when it was
removed to the church and lay there in
state until the funeral services which
began at 2:30. The church was crowded
and the services in keeping with the
Colonel's own wish. One item he had
desired above all Others was that the
Lotus Male Quartette of fremont
Temple, Boston, which he heard at one
time with much delight, should sing at
his funeral, which it did.
The Row. Roy E. Whttemore, pastor
of the Church for three years officiated
at the funeral services, assisted by the
Rev. DR.. w. A. Dawson of Burlington
Secretary of the Vermont Baptist State
Convention, who had long been per-
sonal friend of Colonel Ilsley.
On the night train last night the
body was taken to New York accom-
panied by the Rev. Messrs. White
more, Dawson and Isley and by Mrs.
Ilsley and MRS. Padleford The burial
services will be held today in, the
Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn. The
cemetery is situated close to Prospect
Park in Brooklyn and is one of the
most beautiful burying grounds in the
vicinity of New York. 1t was there
that Colonel Ilsley's parents and his two
sons were buried.

AT the annual meeting OF the Baptist
church on Wednesday evening the fol-
lowing appreciation of Colonel Ilsley
was adopted in the form of an resolu-
ton.
In the death of Colonel Silas A.
Ilsley the Memorial Baptist Church
has lost a distinguished trustee, a true
friend and faithful worshipper His
generous gifts made from time to time
to the Baptist denomination and to
our own church were prompted by
Jealous devotion to the church under
whose covenant he was reared and to
whose precepts he was ever faithful
Our church home stands as the worthy
tribute of a son to the memory of a
revered and reverend father. His
mind and heart were as great as his
hand was generous; he was anxious
that theb usinesS affairs of our organi-
cation should be administered efficient
ly; he was earnest in his desire in
power and influence; he was assiduous
in his attendance upon all religious
services.
The Memorial Baptist Church pays
tribute to his generous interest, to his
business acumen, to his earnest CO.
operation and to his Christian mem
bership. Our highest tribute and our
greatest loss is in the wholesome
Christian example that his living pres
ence always gave. Colonel Ilsley was
never ashamed of being a Christian,
he never wearied in serving the Mas
ter
To our beloved sister, his devoted
helpmate in long life, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy.

A, B. Cruikshank, who was Colonel
Ilsleys attorney in New York, told
The Registrer last night some interest
ing facts of Colonel IlSley's life in am
plification of what had already been
prepared in the foregoing columns.
Mr.. Cruikshank became a friend of
the llsley family when the Reverend
SilaS llsley was a pastor in Brooklny,
the then youn Mr. CruikShank hav-
ing been taken to the Ilsley country
home at Dover N. H. for conval-
escence from an illness. When he and
Colonel Ilsley grew to manhood they
became the warmest friends and re-
manned so to the last.
The Ilsley family has been definite.
ly traced to William Ilsley and Barbara
llsley who came from England in 1884
only fourteen years after the Pilgrims
landed. William and Barbara were a
newly married couple and of fine fam
lily stock
1t appears that it was only three days
after Fort Sumter was fired upon that
Colonely Ilsley had resigned his posi-
ton in the New York bank, and had
enlisted as corporal. He was one of
comparatively few men who went
through the entire war He was high
ly regarded as a commander. In the
battle before Richmond he was at the
front for seven days and fortunately
escaped without scratch.
1t was on weeks furlough from his
camp at Newburg, N. c., that he de
termined to get married, and on this
short visit home he took as his bride
Mary E. Osborne, Brooklyn girl who
was belle. If Colonel Ilsley had had
any thought of following his fathers
footsteps in the ministry, this was ap-

Does Advertising Pay?

Does advertising pay" is a
much mooted question.
That it pays in fine Post-Dis
patch is unquestionably true.
Last week a want" advt. for q
house was inserted in this paper
and the advertiser received q
dozen offers of houses before the
next day at noon.
In the same issue was a four
line local to the effect that a ring
had been found, and that owner
could get same by calling al
Office. The ink on the paper
was barely dry before the owner
appeared, posthaste.
Monday a subscriber from the
northern part of the county visit
ed this Office to renew for the
Post Dispatch, and while here
mentioned the fact that the list
of men published last week who
were scheduled to appear here
Monday for draft examination
contained the name of his son
He had failed to receive his writ
ten notification, and the paper
contained the first information
that he was due to come here
And he said this one issue was
worth the cost of the paper tt
him for years to come.
All of which shop" talk bear:
a striking moral to the prospec
tive advertiser-and to the read
er who is on the alert for infor
nation and news of value.

Don't Kill Carrier Pigeons.

Complaints have been made to
the pigeon section of the Signal
Corps that carrier pigeons Of the
racing-homer type, have been
shot.
Because of the important part
carrier and homing pigeons are
playing in the war, and the need
for their breeding and develop
ment in this country, the War
Department has considerably ex-
panded the pigeon section of the
Signal Corps.
Any pigeon in the air may be
a carrier pigeon flying from a
loft under Government super
vision. Its destruction may be
a serious loss to the American
Army. Anyone coming into
possession of pigeons labeled u.

Arrested on Serious Charges.

lhe harmless beating or ones
wife has serious and perhaps
deadly possibilities. Last Thus
day night Ben Miller, who has
been an excellent fireman for
the Hannah Pickett mills for the
past year and a half, engaged in
a beat-fest with his wife, with the.
result that next morning she in.
formed Sheriff Baldwin that her
husband was wanted at Edgefeld,
S. c., for killing his five-year-oh
child there twenty months ago.
Sheriff Baldwin, with the aid of
the county bloodhounds, caught
Miller later in the day. The sheriff
of Edgefield county was wired
for confirmation of the woman's
story, and the answer came cor
roborating it, and saying that the
woman was also wanted. Sunday
the South Carolina sheriff came
for the pair and carried them to
Edgefield where they now await
trial. The report brought by the
Palmetto sheriff was to the effect
that Ben Miller his Edgefield
name was George Walker) and
his wife killed their child by drop
ping it in a sack into a 45--foot
rock quarry. The child was her
stepchild, and the assumption is
they could get along better with
the child out of the way. All the
parties are colored.

Sale of Poultry.

There has been much confusion
throughout the State as a result
Of the published order of the Food
Administration affecting the
trade in live and freshly dressed
hens and pullets. According to
a ruling of State Administrator
Page, made last Friday, this Or
der does not affect trade in North
Carolina, since it applies only to
licensed dealers, principally the
cold storage concerns.
Every owner of a flock of poul-
try is being urged as a patriotic
duty to refrain from selling or
slaughtering any hens or pullets.
Every hen sold before the first of
May means a food loss to the
nation of an average of not less
than 30 eggs. If the average
number of hens and pullets sold
from Feb. 1st to May 1st is sold
this year it will cause an aggre-
gate loss Of 15O,O0O,OOO eggs. The
value of these eggs is approx
mateley 80 per cent of the actual
value of the hens.
The cooperation of all consum-
ers of poultry is requested and
they are asked to forego the sale
of such until the laying season is
over.

War Savings Stamps.

Interest in the War Savings
Stamps and Certificates is rapid
ly on the increase. In December
the Rockingham postoffice sold
$172.62 worth of them. In Janu-
.ary $678.19 were sold, and up
until today, the 2lst, $6O1.O0 have
been sold for February, making
a total sold from this postoffice
at $1451.81.
Last Saturday was the biggest
sales day yet, $50 worth being
the result of the desire of our
people to SAVE and at the same
time help their government. In
fact, each day since February 1st
has witnessed a steady increase
in sales, and this increase should
continue to increase until every
man, woman and child in Rich
mond county has bought stamps
and certificates--and then bought
more, and then more, until the
buying actually pinches. Every
cent invested in these stamps and
certificates means just that much
saved; it means the formation OF
a splendid habit; and it means
that you are helping your gov
ernment to successfully end this
war.
Put your money into stamps,
and get the habit!
