of our programme, one of thesjnost JUr*
terosting and t>eaut1ful be a failure,
and it will be, unless you come and
barn to sing in.jmisiou the songs yoij|
have always known and that are dear
to every Southern heart. The songs
that inspired the brave sons of the
?South?to rally to her standard, and

of Mr*. Douglas Ancrum Boykln, wbli-h
occurred lit the home of her brother
in-law nud sister, Dr. ami Mrs. .T. T.
Hay. in the Hoykin neighborhood. ht.->l
Friday night
Two mouths ago when relative* and
friend* henrd that Mr*. Itoykln's issu
ing was only a quotation of a very .short
time, they could uot believe It. It
seemed impossible to grasp the truth
of the statement, for sue impersonated
health and beauty, and radiated sun-'
shine and happiness, Hut alas! "death
lores a shining mark," and its druel
arrow found one where sun had scar
<fely readied the meridian She had a
charming personality and \jas an ef
ficient and useful woman, and will be
greatly mlssCd in family and social
circles, chujrch work and public activi

In the presence of a largo number of
relatives and friends she was laid to
rest in . the family plot in the old Qua
ker cemetery. The setting sun sent bis
last rays of purple and gold laden
with promise of a beautiful tomorrow,
on tills closing scene of a beautiful nnd
useful life. The tints of the situ sug
gested the rainbow st> full of promise
and hope.
"I know that cich moment of rapture
or pain
Hut shortens the links in life's mysti
cal (flialu ;
Iknow that my form, like that bow
from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cohl
in the grave;
Yet, O! When ?death's shadows my
bosom enCloud,
When I sink at the thought of th e **of
fin and shroud.
May Hope, like the rainbow, my
spirit enfold,
In her beautiful pinions of purple and
gold." ?. ^

thusiastic over the coming Reunion.
The faithful and efficient treasurer.
Mrs. K. K. Hill, w;is greutly missed as
she left that day for Montreat. How
ever, she left u fine report, which was
read by the secretary, and the entire
chapter rejoiced that they had gone
"over the top." and would he ready
Monday morning to turn over to the
finance committee the sum of $500,
the amount tin* chapter pledged for
the Reunion.
The president thanked the Chapter
for the unity, loyalty and splendid
work, nnd they all agreed that it hud
tn'en a "l'olly Anna Job," that had
brought gladness and gratification.

| plications for member. ship of Mr*,
