OBITUARY.

By request will write a few lines
in memory of little Thompsie Edward
Rhodes, son of Felix B, and Ada
Rhodes.
He was born March 10th, 1917 and
departed this life June 21st, 1919,
making his stay on earth two years
three months and ten days,
lie was sick only about seven days,
and all was done for him that loving
hands and kind physician could do,
but none could stay the cold icy hand
OF death, for God doeth His Will in
thearmy of heaven and among the
obligations of the earth; and none
can stay His hand or say unto Him
what doeth thOu?"
While we know that the bereaved
ones loved him, and will miss him so
mush; yet God loved him best and
called for him to come up higher,
where he is through with all suffer
ing, troubles and trials of the sinful
world
Little Edward, was only budded on
earth 10 bloom IN heaven, where his
little tongue will always praise a
Savior's love redeenling grace.
Could we but hear his little tongue
So sweetly sing the heavenly song;
Could W but see his smiling face,
Delighted with the happy place;
We could not wish him back again,
but say, dear Edward, with God re
main.
We hope to gain that peaceful shore,
where those who meet shall part no
more.
Little Edward leaves father,
mother and brother and sister and
grand parents and host of relatives
aud friends to mourn his loss, hut
their loss is his eternal gain for Jes-
is said, Suffer little children and
forbid them not to come unto Me; for
of such is the kingdom of heaven"

Rev. w, +. Gibson and Brother Ed

body was laid to rest in Antioch Gem.

II. Nj. Bunch grew a good crop of
Irish potatoes last year. His father,
S. N. Bunch, has also for many years
been n successful grower of this
plant, Their plan is to break the
ground about the middle Of July and
keep it clean of weeds until August
1st to the 10th. They then run a
double furrow with a shovel pow SO
that they may plant them deep Gov
err with the same pillow. The seed
are secured by digging the Triumph
variety from the early crop and then
planting at once. They are not al
lowed to dry out. The whole secret
Of the plan is to get a firm seed bed
and keep it. Both Of the above gen.
tlemen usually have potatoes to sell,
and especially the latter, Is that
good example to follow?
