WORK OF coRGAs

T saw the hand of General Gorgas both in Havana and in the Panama zone said J. F. Graham, who has just returned from trip to both places.
 T saw neither fly nor mosquito during my stay at Havana There is not cleaner or healthier place imaginable. They are so care ful about sanitation that fowls are not allowed to go at large inside the city limits.
 Havana is very gay, and from the superfi- cial, one would not think there was the best of times, but business is not good American exporters have been forced to extend credits far beyond the usual period.
 What I especially admire about Havana i5 that it is fre-proof city. A confagration there is impossible owing to the character of structures. trip to Havana and the Panama zone is delightful one and one need not ap- prehend either lack of sanitary conditions or any of the usual comforts and luxures."

'4The rain Wednesday was certainly Jonah to me-" said Harry B. New, manager of the Motion hotel. With the showers along came in- spectors from the state board of health to in- spect my hotel They inspected high and low, in the kitchens the pantries and base ment, and all they could find was the mud on the floor of the lobby being tracked in by refugees from the rain.
 'I expostulated with the inspector that he shouldn't rob my hotel of perfect score be- cause of a few muddy footprints, but to no avail. However, the new system of rating hotels for sanitary conditions and cleanliness is fine one, and should give us better, cleaner and finer hostelries all over the state"

He was one of the charter members of our beloved order which has existed since 1902, of which he has lived a consistent member and has been e. c. for sixteen years. He was ever true and loyal to his friends, He also was a leading member of many other fraternities of this vicin- ity. He was staunch member of the e. M. E. Church at Richmond.
 Whereas, be it further resolved that he was one that was full of energy ever willing to do his part, stood ready to aid and assist in the true work in which he was so united.
 Be it further resolved that he was a noble counselor, full of good deeds and cheer, wherever he was there was sunshine. He was great factor in his community was always found teaching lessons of industry and honesty.
 Be it resolved by the Ashdown Ledge No. 93 that We bow to the de- cree of our heavenly father with a submissive spirit saying, "Thy Will Be Done.' Furthermore be it re- solved his life was quiet, yet forceful. He never said "No" to worthy ap. peal, his was light that shone more and more until the perfect, and this was made so by much suffering. Be it further resolved that this brother hood record it's profound respect of sympathy to his wife, and relatives in their sad bereavement, praying that God may give strength and sustain ing grace. for we know that he will send no more upon you than he will give you strength to bear We are fading away like the stars of the morning.
