All be sides these are a part of the scenery of the external and temporal world, but friendships are of the eternal and divine. It is these that give value and zest to life; that furnish it with interest, with charm, and with hap pines>. T?> be rich in friends is to be poor in nothing. The talent for mak ing friends, or for discovering them, j is a distinctive one, and is perhaps the result of a combination of happy qualities. We may live in the same town, attend the same church, be members of the same club for years with only a passing acquaintanceship, when suddenly circumstances * throw .us more intimately together and a true and abiding friendship is form ed. The friendships that are best worth having are those that come un sought. We may have been acquaint ed for many years yet suddenly re cognize a friend.

Burnet in this city last Monday, August 18th. She was the daughter of Dr. Henry and Louisa Goodwyn Clarke and was born and rearefJ at the beautiful anti bellum home of her ancestors in" Fair field county. She was a gentlewoman of the old South and retained until the last the imprint of its charm and culture. She was a sister of the late Mrs. A. A. Moore and for years made her home with the late Dr. and Mrs. A. A. Moore. Of late years she had lived with Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Burnet and received every attention that love and tenderness could be* stow. Miss Clarke was a woman of high ideals and strong religious con victions; she was loyal to family ties and a /staunch friend. It would in deed be a selfish thought to wish our loved ones back, even those to whom we feel that life's fullest meed had not been given and certainly not those who, like her with patient eyes have watched the shadows grow long at their feet. It is to them a blessed release and let us thank God that they faced the sunset with the prom ise of a bright tomorrow. The funeral services wcr? held on Tuesday afternon at th? Baptist church, of which she was a loyal and consistent member. The Rev. J. P. Graham, pastor of the church, officia ted.
