In Memoriam

In Memo.iam
Just one year ago today the spiri
of Miss Ada Hunt took it's fight t.
worlds unknown, and then just ter
months and eight days passed before
her dear old father went to join his
darling baby in heaven. He had new
er fully recovered from the shock OF
her death, until he was called:
One day sitting alone on his porch
his companion heard him murmurine
and she stopped to listen. She heard
him say. "My baby, my baby, l can
see everybody's baby come home but
mine Oh! Ny baby, my baby"
She worried great deal about her
father, he: being IN bad health, as she
could not do anything for him or give
him any ease. And then she had to
go and leave him behind. But ne soon
! followed her. And nov they sleep
side by side. He thought so much
of his baby. I wonder sometime what
he would say if he knew that he was
sleeping by her side.
1t is so hard to give up one, but
when it. COMES to two, a dear old IA
ther and daughter, in such short
time, it seems so hard for the loved
, ones to give them up.
Through all pain at times they smile
! A smile of heavenly joy!
And now heaven retaineth our treas
Earth the lonely casket keeps:
And the sunbeams love to linger
(! Where our loved ones sleep.
They have left forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved ones
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear ones have gone,
But, oh! A brighter home than ours
! In heaven is their own.
Two precious ones from us. have gone,
The voices We loved are stilled; =
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom hath recalled
The boon his love hath given;
And though the bodies oslumber here,
The souls are safe in heaven.
Earth has lost it's look of gladness,
Heaven seems to US more bright
Since the spirits of our dear ones
Took their happy honneward flight.
And we long to cross that river,
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know and loyethem,
With the Saviour evermore.
X :; -
1t is sad that those we cherished
Should be taken from our home,
But the joys that do not perishs
! Live in memory alone.
Many. hours we've passed together,
And our loss we deeply feel, =
; But it's God Who has bereft US
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet them
When the day of life is fed,
When in heaven in JOY we'll greet
them,
bWheresno farewell tears are shed.

A shadow over our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of their faces,
We miss their kind and willing hands.

Editor Dawson News: What en-
plover of negro labor during the re-
cent few years has not been impressed
with the nuisance of the effect OF So
called health insurance on the lack OF
satisfactory service being rendered by
hundreds of members of the negro
race? There are in Dawson at least a
half dozen agents, both white and
black, OF the companies which are put
ting policies among this class OF our
laboring element.
Ask any reputable physician what
are his experiences among the negroes
holding one or more of these policies
and you may have your eyes opened
to the effect on what would otherwise
be fair servants. AS the matter stands
when one gets an ache, however mild,
an ordinary sore throat, which in the
honest, sensible invidiual would not
for a moment cause him to think OF
stopping his duties, or any ailment,
however transient, to bed he goes and
sends for the doctor. Why is the doc
tor wanted in very many instances?
Only that he may be used to fill GER
tain blank applications for a weeks
insurance benefits, and in his or her
house he or she remains for that week,
though there is in many instances no
real use of one days confinement.
What does the doctor do in such cas-
es? He simply, in the majority of in
stances, makes statements which are
untrue. Suppose he refuses to do SO.
The next time some other less con-
scientious doctor is called in, SO the
most of the physicians go ahead on
the principle that the company dealing

Saws Socalled Heath Insurance"
Is Real Menace In Our Midst

in such material deserves to pay the
bills.
This is always an unwelcomed task
for the honest physician, for he not
only realizes the misrepresentation
being often made, but he is also aware
of the pertinent fact that somebody's
much needed servant is in reality play
ing truant staying away from work,
and doing what is none the less steal
ing every penny received.
Often these weeks are repeated once,
twice, thrice and the doctor used as
the real agent for the robbery.
A remedy is needed, and this arti-
Gle has been written simply to bring
the matter to the front, thinking that
the woods may be set burning" and
create some possible light as to that
remedy.
This insurance, as it is being used
in a very large number of instances
constantly, is in reality but an agency
for Incidence, a means of securing a
sort of livelihood without work. 1t
is a decided menace to effective and
satisfactory labor in our midst.
There can be no sort of objection
| to honest use of such insurance, and
no one is greater believer in it, when
honestly handed out to deserving suf-
ferers, whether white or black, than
the writer 1t is fortunate that there
are companies which provide aid for
| the deserving when ills beset them, but
for the reasons above outlined there
is great need for immediate remedy
of the many attending evils of such
compensation.
The doctors have it in their power
to do much toward a remedy, but will
