DRY of our darling son and brother,
Levene W. Midget, Jr., who left
us six years ago April 10, 1851,
Rodanthe, N. c.
In our hearts there lies a picture,
Of a loved one laid to rest;
In memories we will keep it,
For we know God gives the best.
People Think the grief is lessened,
Though the smiles may hide the
tears,
But sweet memories will linger,
Despite the passing of the years.
Some say time heals an aching
heart,
But, no, it isn't true,
For six long years have passed,
dear son,
And our heart still ache for you.

Program Initiated
To Preserve Trees
In Courthouse Park

In an all out effort to protect
and preserve the trees in the
courthouse public square park,
the Noble county commissioners
unanimously approved all nee
essary means to resolve that end.
At their meeting held Monday,
the board authorized Paul Davis
of the Davis Tree Service, of
Sarahsville, to perform what
work is necessary to prune and
remove all dead wood from trees
in the park.
They also requested that work
be done to treat the trees and
place them in as good a condi-
ton as possible.
The commissioners set aside
the sum of $4,000 for this tree
preserving detail.
The need to initiate a program
to preserve the trees has become
more apparent in recent years,
since severe damages have
resulted during the past winters
from heavy ice accumulations on
the branches, causing many to
break at points where the trees
have suffered perhaps irrepar-
able damages.
The program will undoubtedly
be factor in maintaining the
natural beauty of the park which
provides scenic setting for the
county's temple of justice.
