BY Jimmie Atkinson

Malvern i'm Matlock, who
made successful business trim
ming hedges in four counties,
died in Chicago, Illinois, while
visiting his children. He was also
farnous for organizing the wsll-
known 'Matlock Reunion, a gala
affair That met at his home each

years. His relatives and friends
were many, proof of which was
an overpacked house at First
Baptist Church. where he had
long been an ardent member, Feb.
9th when his funeral rites were
held. Rev. r. S. Shorty, pastor,
delivered the eulogy and Mrs.
Althea Fate read the Obituary.

during the cycle his laws and

CYCLE
Question: What is the real explain
alton of the cycles which occur in
the world of existence?

HUtfu VI SAioSNhCNs
Answer Each one of the lumin-
Gus bodies in this limitless firma-
ment has cycle of revolution
which is of different duration,
and every one revolves in its own
orbit, and again begins new
cycle. So the earth, every three
hundred and sixty-five days, five
hours, forty eight minutes and a
fraction, completes revolution;
and then it begins a new cycle,
that is to say, the first cycle is
again renewed. In the same way,
for the universe, whether for the
heavens Or for men, there are
cycles of great events which take
place, is completely forgotten, and
not a trace or record of it will
remain. AS you see, we have no
records of twenty thousand years
ago, although life on this earth
is very ancient. 1t is not one hun
dred thousand. or two hundred
thousand, or one million or two
million years old; it is very an
cient, and the ancient records and
traces are entirely obliterated.
