was of a private or public nature.
What a splendid record will be
left behind by this great and good
man.
How sweet will it be for his wife
and children to think of that pure
life which he at all times led before
them, and to know that the parting
scenes here below are only tempor-
ary. But in the home Of the souls
the scenes enacted there will re-
unite all our loved ones in a bond
which will last throughout all eter-
nifty.
Mr.. Taft was buried with full mil

Joseph E. Holland
In the death of Joseph E. Holland
which took place on Saturday last
at his home in Milford, the State Of
Delaware lost one of its best citi-
zens.
Mr.. Holland had been identified
with the business interests of the
city of Milford for the past fifty
years. His life has been one of great
usefulness, not only to his fellow
citizens, but to the church and to
the other institutions which he was
associated.
He was a member of the State
Highway Commission and had been
from it's inception, and was strong
advocate of concrete roads, for
which Delaware is now noted-he
was also vice president and direc-
tor of the First National Bank and
Trust Company of Milford. His ad-
vice was always sought in the trans
action of the business of the bank.
His life had been an upright, true
one, worthy of emulation of those
who are left behind. Outside of his
relatives Mr.. Holland had a host Of
friends throughout all Delaware
who will mourn his loss. Delaware
can i'll afford to lose high toned
Christian gentleman of the calibre
of Joseph E. Holland. Peace be to
his ashes. His funeral took place
from his late home on Wednesday.
Interment in Odd Fellows cemetery.

r. !. Clendaniel, teacher, was enter
tanned at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. ]. Clendaniel on Wednesday eve
ming of last week. Those present

If more teachers would entertain
their classes in their homes 1T
would have a tendency to cement on
the hearts of both teachers and
scholars a stronger bond of union,
and would no doubt increase the
roll of the church school. Try it.
Sunday morning the church
school opened with 81 officers and
scholars being present. This was
splendid showing and brought to
The hearts of those interested a song
Of thanksgiving and praise to Him
Who doeth all things well.
This attendance could be dupli-
Gated each Sunday by a united effort
on the part of those who should be
interested in the building up Of the
church school.
Perhaps if we would leave off
some of those things which have no
bearing on the increased attendance
desired or should be desired, and de-
vote the same time in visiting homes
and importune the parents to send
their children to the church school.
Many children of the town are ha-
absent from the church
school and are allowed by their par
ents to roam at will on the Lords
Day. These are the ones that should
be looked after, and every means
from a persuasive standpoint should
be used to bring these children into
an association which will prove for
their benefit from a Christian, So
cial or physical standpoint. This is
a great work and should enlist the
hearty support of all Christian wo-
men and men everywhere.
