On June Is, 1885, the United States was
checking her war debt accounts and reported
that one country out of thirteen had paid up.
On the same date in 1884, the Senate ratified the
Geneva movement for the limitation of the sale
of war materials. The 18th of June, 1886, will
mark the beginning of the payment of the SOL
dier's bonus Few persons have determination
enough to keep diary for long, but if the vet
Grams were good diarists, it is feared that more
than one journal would read: June Is, 1896, got
bonus: June 49, 1887, broke again"

The Pan-Pacific Bureau is in favor of the
United States taking some of the South Sea
Islands from European nations who owe us war
debts They would be better than nothing since
we are not going to get our war debt money
anyway. About year ago. similar suggestion
was made respecting Bermuda, but at last &C.
counts, the title to Bermuda remains right
where it has been for long time. County doc
tors may be able to get load of hay or sack
of potatoes on account but anyone who thinks
that Europe can be dealt with on that basis has
another guess coming.

DRIVE AND WALK WITH CARE

The Jeffersons have suffered a tragedy dur
ing the week end that might have been avoided
if sufficient care had been exercised The life of
a healthy, -year-old child was snatched
away by highway accident, and two homes
are in trouble: the bereaved family, and the
family of the driver of the car who struck the
child
Because the deaths on our highways reach
such alarming figures, the entire United States
is becoming distressed enough to put on high
way safety campaigns in every state in the
union, but it is one thing to read about what is
being done elsewhere and another thing to have
it come home to U.s. A fatal accident within our
midst should give us warning to heed traffic
regulation rules before we, too, run the risk of
taking life that we cannot return.
There are few rules that car drivers should
observe, without exception, and the danger
of accidents would be reduced to almost moth
ing: car brakes should at all times be kept in
good order; cars should never drive at unrea-
sonable speeds; cars should ALWAYS slow
down when passing other cars, whether the cars
are parked or moving.
Grown-ups as well as children step, unthink-
ingly, out into the path of cars If the driver of
the car has good brakes and is not driving fast,
he can avoid an accident although the person
who steps in front of him may be at fault.
great majority of the accidents where car
kills person who is walking occurs when that
person looks way-not both ways-and
starts across the road, or when he gets out of a
car and starts across the road.
Those who walk on the highways should
exercise care but those who drive should and
must exercise more care All those who use our
highways are not adults, who are old enough to
realize the danger that is about them. In that
event, it is up to the car driver to realize it for
them, since it is taken for granted that those
who are incompetent to drive should not be
driving
Let us all join Fundamentally into the cam
paign for safety on the highways, and by so do
ing avoid trouble to ourselves and others

Entered as second-class matter on Oct /, 1925 at
the post Office at West Jefferson, North Carolina

The House votes about two and half billions
for a relief budget, and the same body, after due
consideration, declines to provide three billions
in currency, by process commonly known as
imitation, for the benefit of farm Indebtedness.
The Senate pauses in the advance of the latest
tax bill. Indeed, if it were not for money mat
tiers, Congress would be practically out of work.
Money is said to be the root of all evil That may
or may not be true, but according to our law
making bodies, money is certainly the root of
most legislation.

great-great-grand children survive.
Her husband (Uncle John Gar
vey) fell asleep in the Lord Is years
ago leaving his loving and devoted
wife to spend the last Is years with
her honored and respected son,
James, at the old home where she
had the best of care and every COM
fort possible to be provided by this
loyal son, his good wife, and chill
dren.
Mrs. Garvey professed faith in
Christ and joined Pleasant Home
Baptist Church and was baptised in
1889. Later she moved her member
ship to New River Baptist Church
when it was organized, remaining a
faithful member until Saturday,
April 18, 1896, when she laid aside
every care, and went to spend all
eternity with her husband and many
long gone loved ones. She had told
the writer more than year ago
(when he had driven many miles to
see herr that most all her friends
had gone on over, and that she was
so anxious to go to be with them,
and that she was ready with not one
thing in her way. Aunt Jane was un-
able to leave her room or bed for 18
months, but she bore her Affections
with patience until she grew weary,
and using her burden for pillow,
she fell into that dreamless sleep
that gives her peace and rest. AS she
approached the West, there was not
a cloud to cast a shadow over her
sunset, but everything was quiet,
and peaceful, as she set sail for the
land of fadeless beauty, where her
comrades, who had fallen one by
one, were waiting to greet her. Oh,
this is not death, but life begun; the
battle fought, the victory won. Just
the exchange of land of sorrows,
toll, and strife, for land of peace,
rest, JOY, and happiness.
In life, she was sweet, and pure,
and good,
In the community, she was loved
by all
In her church, she did what she
could;
In heaven now, she is waiting for
Who would be as she, gentle pure,
and good.
May we all live as she did so that
when the time comes for us to 60,
that we may quietly approach the
end, and with eager winds kissing
every sail, and with Jesus as our
Pilot, peacefully cross over to join
this dear saint, and all the redeem
ed, having endured the last heart
ache; and as we pass through the
last dark tunnel of death, and stand |
before the throne, may we not look
in vain for loved ones, but may we
meet and be with them forever.
