IN MeMoRrAM.

In sad, but loving remembrance Of
SAMUEL N. BASTAIN, Jr., the eldest
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel N. Bas-
tain, OF Nanjcmoy, who departed this
life Oct. 9, 1924, aged q years and s
months.
MIR. Bastain had been in bad health
/ for the last four years. He spent last
winter in the mountains, hoping to
improve his health, but he appeared
TO grow worse. In the spring he re-
turned to the home OF his parents,
where he had lived from early child
hood, true christian life. He made
many friends in the mountains, and
none knew him but to loge him and
none named him but 10 praise.
He was a brother OF Miss Caroline
Bastain, who fell asleep in Jesus just
five years ago, and was the first one
she called to bid goodbye, when she
told us all she was going home TO die
no more He was then 10, but a ways
seemed to love his sister so much and
few weeks before his death he told
bis mother that no one ever kaew how
much he mourned her death, and when
he went to her bedside, he'd rather at
the time died than to leave her.
He was such dutiiul and loving
son. He told all his friends he was
ready and willing 10 go; the only thing
that worried him was his dear mother,
so he begged her not 10 worry; just put
her trust In God and IL would not be
long at the longest before she would
come with him 10 part no more. On
Saturday before his death he led
beautiful prayer and asked God when
be closed to guide his brothers, his
dear little sister, his father, his mother,
the dearest one on earth. all through
life and bring them safely home, and
told his mother as he laid his head on
her breast, mother, oh how happy
would be II could fall asleep and go
to my Lord right here in your arms, so
Just as he wanted il to be, on Monday
night at half past nine. when his mother
saw the end was near, she raised him
to her arms, and in five minutes he was
asleep In Jesus.
He was laid to rest Thursday, Oct.
9, in Durham Parish cemetery, with his
brothers and sister and loved ones.
He leaves 10 mourn his death, four
brothers, Luther O., Norman NJ +, Perry |
f. and Herbert "A. Bastain, one sister,
Bertha NJ. Bastaln, father and mother.
Oh, how loved and miss you, dar-
ling; none but a mothers heart can |
tell. l miss you night and day; no
matter where | be, miss you every |
where. Our home is sad and lonely |
since you were called away, but l
know you are resting safe In the Shep-
herds fold, free from all sorrow and
pain, for in Durham church yard my
first three darlings sleep, and as
promised you and sister. when mothers
work o. earth is through, and God
shall call her home, we'll meet TO part
no more.
His Devoted Mother.
His pallbearers were Messrs. Sidney
Rye, Raymond Otto, Lazarus Dodd,
Rufus Bastain, Bayard and Roy Fen
nall. Messrs. Lomax & Penn had
charge OF the funeral arrangements.

The first was the annual Indian Head
Fair which occurred on Sept. 18th and
18th. This Fair is an event OF several
years standing and its usual excellence
was maintained, II not exceeded. The
exhibits were val led and interesting,
representing not only the particular
activities which have made Indian
Head famous. but also the products of
farms, gardens and homes throughout
the county. Its representative char
acter was we'll illustrated by the wo-
mems exhibit.
The management of the Indian Head
Fair not only offered liberal prizes for
individual exhibits. but in encourage
ment of womans club work, awarded a
special prize OF $500 TO the club
whose members had taken the greatest
number Of Individual prizes. This
prize was won the La Plata Woman's
Club, and It's giving has stimulated q

Guiding large numbers of out of-town

National Theatre, Washington, has
arranged to continue the run OF ''The
Ten Commandments there up to and
including Saturday, Nov. /. This is
welcome news to thousands who have
been intending to see the picture
but have been unable to visit Wash
ington thus far in the engagement.
Cecil B. De Miles epic is the most
highly praised superpicture that has
been presented in the Nations capital
since "The Birth of Nation" days.
Not only its magnificent presentation
Of the great Bible narrative indicated
in the title, but the gripping interest
and thrilling climaxes of the longer
modern story and the beauty OF the
great orchestral accompaniment di-
rected by Frederick Arundel, the cele-
brated London conductor, have had
much to do with this. Theodore Rob-
erts has established himself anew in
the foremost rank of American actors
by his great assumption of Moses.
Leatrice Joy, Estelle Taylor, Agnes

German air boat, shining like pol

the ocean in three days is a tribute
to mans genius. A race capable
of such achievement will learn

Such European trips by airships

as little attention as an automobile

What a crime against civiliza-

German plant that created that
