IN MEMORY.

OF Mrs. Mamie Brown, who fell
asleep in Jesus at ten o'clock, Thurs
Iday morning, April 20, 1922, at the
age of about II, after being confined
to her room for several days with
heart trouble, the Angels of death
stood suddenly at her bedside. She
had not time to say farewell, to meet
the absent ones she pinned for or for
relatives to gather around her.
They came and she had gone.
When such friends leave US we feel
that the purest and best have passed
away, and although we believe the
Savior has taken them unto Himself,
we cannot refrain from weeping over
our loss. We know how much they will
be missed, now much their example
will be needed. While her busy hands
are folded and the affectionate' heart
has ceased its throbbing, we may not
murmur, we know her pure and gentle
teaching will live in the hearts of her
children to lead them to the Savior.
She was respected and loved by
just as many people as had the priv
ilege of knowing her.
She joined the Missionary Baptist
church at Unity at the early age Of
thirteen, growing in grace and knowl-
edge of the Lord. She was found
ready and willing to leave when call
ed from earth. Her place in the
church was very seldom ever vacant

unless sickness prevented her being
there. She was truly one of the ex-
cellent women of earth. She was one
of the kindest neighbors, devoted to
her home and children and with each
of them we sympathize. Though we
know they sorrow not as those who
have no hope," may they too, when
their time comes die the death OF the
righteous. She was the mother OF
four children, two sons having passed
away several year ago. She lived with
her daughter where she received the
best of care. We have often said she
had the best home Of any mother and
the most affectionate children. She
leaves one son and one daughter,
namely Luther Brown and Mrs. Het-
tie Rhodes-and several grandchil-
dren; one brother, Wiley Crook, who
lives in Arkansas and number OF
other relatives and friends to mourn
her loss.
Elder Rogers conducted the funeral
services at the Brown grave yard,
where she was laid to rest beside her
husband until the resurrection OF all
of Gods children.
No sickness or sorrow or pain shall
ever reach her now for death to her
spirit was gain since Christ was her
life when below. May the children be
comforted with the thought that our
father knows best when the life work
is finished. She will be sadly missed
not only by the family but by the
community in which she lived, and by
Unity church of which she was a mem
Der.
Asleep in Jesus far from thy kin
dred and their graves may be, but
there is still blessed sleep from
which none ever wake to weep.

FINER FARMING
By H. A. Powers

Farmers in other counties have re-
ceived thousands of dollars each from
the sale of Strawberries. There is no
reason why we should not do likewise
here. A small acreage to each farm
would interfere to limited degree on

the same time furnish a source of in

much needed.

do likewise again this season. Now

more than we can see. No man es-
capes taxation these days even though
he may own neither real estate nor
personal property. Federal taxes
reach practically every family one
way or another in some manner. Al
tho state and county taxes are most
often the ones which we hear discuss
ed, yet they are not al they pay.
THERE is ONE WAY TO REDUCE
THE AMOUNT OF EXPENDI-
TURES and that is to produce enough
hay to supply the farm. That this is
practical cannot be questioned when
we have so many practical examples
in this county. Farmers who made
money are the ones who have stuck to
the above policy. We see almost every
day some law violator which may be
found on our statute books and see the

Sam Benson wanted to try little

on place that had begun to wash. On
this he seeded the above mentioned
plant and secured some fine speci-
mems Of it. Nearly under similar con-
ditions he sowed some more seeds and
the result was very poor. We believe
this to be a clear demonstration of
the value of lime in the production of

How much does it cost Henderson
county to produce scrub cattle? We
should adopt some policy in this coun-

feed to produce a scrub than high
grade and there is large margin of
difference in the price. However, so
long as people are content to sit still
with what they have while others are

yourself and you will not wonder that

it-this reminder Of a tragedy Of a
quarter of a century agone. Their
lips refused to utter the words that
strove to travel past them; they were
two men dumb, dumb through a dis
covery which they had forced them
selves to face, through a fact which
they hoped against, each more or less
silently, yet felt sure must, sooner or
later, come before them. And now It
was here.
And this was the reason that twen-
ty years before, Thornton Fairchild,
white, grim, had sought the aid of
Harry and of Mother Howard. This
was the reason that woman had
played the part of man, to all
appearances only one of three disap.
pointed miners seeking a new field.
And yet
II know what you're thinking" It
was Harry's voice, strangely hoarse
and weak. "1'm thinking the same
thing. But it mustn't be. Dead men
don't always mean they've died-in a
wye to cast reflections on the man
that was with 'em. Do you get what

hard into the cramped, suffering face
of Robert Fairchild- shat you were
going to 'old your father innocent.
So m I. We don't know, Boy, what
went on ere. And we've got to 'ope

Then, while Fairchild stood notion
less and silent, the big Cornishman
forced himself forward, to stoop by
the side of the heap Of bones which
once had represented q man, to touch
gingerly the clothing, and then to
bend nearer and hold his carbide close
to some object which Fairchild could
not see. At last he rose and with old,
white features, approached his part

at the final straw-"maybe it's not

But the shaking of Harry's head
stifled the momentary ray Of hope.

CHAPTER XII

!, They started forward then, making
their way through the slime and silt
of the drift flooring, slippery and wet
from years Of flooding. On-on-they
stopped.
Progress had become impossible. Be-
fore them, twisted and torn and piled
about in muddy confusion, the tim
bers of the mine suddenly showed in
perfect barricade, supplanted from
behind by piles Of muck and rocky
refuse which left no opening to the
Y chamber Of the stope beyond. Har-
rvs carbide went high in the air. and
he slid forward, to stand a moment
in thought before the obstacle. At
place after place he surveyed it, finally

There was only one thing to do
<urn back. Fifteen minutes more and
they were on the surface, making
their plans; projects which entailed
work from morning until night for
many day to come. Harry reached
for new ak and indicated another.
"We'll cut ties first" he announced:
And thus began the weeks Of effort,
weeks in which they worked with
crude appliances; weeks in which they
dragged the heavy stulls and other
&imbers into the tunnel and then low
cred them down the shaft to the drift,
two hundred feet below, only to follow
them in their counterbalanced bucket
and iaboriously pile them along the
sides of the drift, there to await use
later on. Weeks in which they worked

out the muck and with their CAD hooks
tore down loose portions of the hang
ing wall to form roadbed for their
new tram.

succession of disjointed, broken
stones. lying in straggly fashion along
the footwall of the drift where II
widened into the stope, or upward

clearer, the thin outlines of something
which clutched at the heart of Robert

caused him to fight down a sudden,
panicky desire to shield his eyes and
to run-a heap of age -denuded bones
the scraps of a miners costume still
clinging to them, the heavy shoes pro-
trudlng in comlcally tragic fashion
over bony feet; huddled, cramped
