GOne-But Not Lost

This poem is a fitting tribute to the
beautiful Christian character and life
of Miss Alice Prettyman, member of
Ellendale M. E. Church, who depart
ed this life, Sunday, June LIST, 1924.
May her relatives and friends find in
it a ray Of comfort, is the earnest
wish of her pastor, Rev. Alonzo Trav-
ers.
Sweet bud of earth's wilderness, ri1ed
and torn!
Fond eyes have wept DER thee, fond
hearts still will mourn;
The spoiler hath come, with his cold
whitening breath
And the loved and cherished lies ST.
lent in death.
She felt not the burden and heat of
the day!
She hath passed from this earth, and
its sorrows, away
With the dew of the morning yet
fresh on her brow
Sweet bud of earth's wilderness,
where art thou now?
lOus breath,
Why the joy of your household lies
silent in death?
Do you mourn round the place of
your perishing dust?
Look onward and upward with hOlier |
trust!
Who cometh to meet her, with light |
on his brow?
What angel form greets her so tend
erly now!
Tis the sainted father (died about two
years ago) springs onward to
bear
The child of his love from this region
of care!
He beareth her on to that realm of
repose,
Where no cloud ever gathers, no
storm ever blows:
mansions above,
This beautiful floweret in mercy and
love.
There shall she forever, unchanged by
decay,
Beside the still waters and green pas
lures stray;
md there shall ye join her, with
earth's ransomed host,
4ook onward and upward! She's gone
but not lost! 1t

FINISH TWO NEW
 FACTORY BUILDINGS
Elm and Whiting St. Structures for s. R. < L. Co Nearly Ready

With the hoisting of the American flag over the new Stanley Works building adjoining the Stanley Rule and Level plant of which it is an auxiliary on Elm street Saturday aft ernoon, the Aberthaw Construction Co. finished two more factory build ings in this'ci for the Stanley Rule and Level plant.
 The one buildings stands on Elm street and the other is on Whiting street near the freight station. The Elm street building covers 6Nxl4O feet of ground and is six stories high.
 In it's construction have gone 152 tons of structural steel, 2.500 cubic yards of concrete, 400 barrels of ce- ,nent, 2,S30 tons of stone. 12,200 square feet of window openings with factory steel sash and clear glass. It IS or reinforced concrete throughout With the interior columns of round fat slab with mushroom head.
 Both buildings Were started at the same time, November I5. The Whit ins street building was finished two weeks ago and the Elm street build ing was completed exactly on sched- ule, Saturday having been the date set for completion.
 The Whiting street building is 60x 200 feet square and three stories high. That building was completed January l3. It is of the same type of con- struction and contains 1000 yards sof concrete, $500 barrels of cement. B. 300 tons of stone, 1S4 tons of steel, lf,To0 panes of clear window glass and 9.4o0 square feet of window open ings.
 The erection of both buildings was under the direction of Construction Superintendent R. r. Floyd, who has had charge of practically all of the Stanley Works buildings.
 The new buildings will take care of tho natural expansion of business, most of 1t probably being the new four-quare type of products tho Stan ley Rule and Level plant is turning out. Eventually they will mean an increase in the working force of about 250 more people.
