DEATH OF A GOOD DAWSON
LADY RECALLED BY FRIEND
Mrs. Kitchens Entered on Eternal
Sleep a Year Ago.

One year ago today the gentle spirit
of Mrs. V. A. Kitchens winged its
flight into that land where there is no
more sorrow.
Unassuming in her manner, walk
ing with God in her daily life, her in
fiuence for good was felt by all with
whom she came in contact, and she
was always ready to lend helping
hand to those in sorrow or distress.
At an early age she united with the
Primitive Baptist church and was un-
failing in her loyalty to her precepts.
In the home circle her example was
one of righteous living, and her tireless
devotion to her loved ones made
their grief over her going away all the
more poignant. For several years be-
fore death came to relieve her suffer
ing Mrs. Kitchens was in i'll health,
but never uttering a complaint she
bore her affections with the grace and
patience that only comes from God.
Truly one of Gods own has gone to
her reward, and to emulate her exam
pie will be to attain the highest plane
of true living l.. B. w.

tree which is a cousin to the cotton
plant. and which, if crossed with
the latter, may produce, in process
OF time, an exceedingly valuable
fiber. The tree, OF which only two
are now known to exist, is called
Kokia Drynarioides and is propa-
gated from seed. The one other

Information has recently figured it
out that in such large cities as Lon

average about 500 persons who. with
out eXaggeration, spend $4,000 A week
for their living. The figures are con-
hrmed by hotel managers. For sheer
luxury, London is said still to lead
New York and Paris. Unseasonable
dishes called for, cause the cost to
mount up. In one hotel in London
