And there is a lot of hot air along this road back to normalcy.

Yes; congress is - still in session, but we don’t know that it makes much difference. What do you suppose old Sherman would have said if he had seen this sort of peace? A tax on gossip woyld make all other taxes unnecessary. Rut it will never be levid. C' The Sense of Fear. * Henry Ford, in an interview with a magazine writer not long ago, said the impelling motive with most men is the sense of fear. Men fear they will lose their money, or their posit, ions, or their health, or the esteem of friends—any or all. of these and other things—and their fears make them timid and inefficient. The idea is not a .new one. A minister once preached a sermon on “The Sin of Fear.” He argued that if a man lived the right life he would have nothing to fear, and that, there, fore, fear was sin, or the reeult of iin. People who have this sense of fear so highly developed in their make-up are to be pitied, although they may'not wholly deserve it. Most of our fea*§ are groundless; the dangers we fear do not exist. Our expected troubles are never as great as we think they will be; our misfortunes as a rule could be much greater. There is nothing and nobody to fear except the Almighty, and Him only when we have disobeyed Him. Death Of Mrs. R. M. Burckhalter As a general rule it is an invest, ment when you win and a speculation when you lose. One of the happiest men we ever knew never held a political office and never be levied. Kings would be more popular in the world if so many of them had not played the deuce. Mr. Gompers says wages will not come down. If they don’t they may just stop altogether. Germany has made so many ex cuses that even if she had u good on now it would be discounted. A man never realizes how little he amounts to until he tries to argue with a woman about fashions. The main objection to the income tax is that it is next to impossible to pass in on to the other fellow. The things citizen but he will never lie a loser. man who is satisfied w.th as they are may be a good It Is all right o wan to get ahead in the world, but !>e careful how you try to pass the other fellow in ymr automobile. Mr. Rryan may be politically d< .id, as some of the newspapers claim. >ut he seems to think the report gre..tly exaggerated. One June 6th, just as the darkness of the night was passing away and Mother Earth was being brightenct by the rays of dawn, the life of Mrs. R. M. Burckhalter, of Dunbarton passed out of this world and enterct into the Great Beyond, where there is no darkness or night but always a day full of love and happiness, which portrays the character of our friends. She was unfailingly c„eerful and her interest in people and in the common human ways of life was un flagging. She was at home at the bedside of the sick and in the homes of the sorrowing and the poor. For five years Mrs. Burckhalter wis president of. the W. M. S. of,Joyce Branch Church, which grew from a band of a very few into a flourishing society. She was always active and willing to do service for the Lord, and even though her health would not permit her for the lust year to attend the meetings regularly, the society * received . much inspiration from her. We refrain from writing of her ^ beautiful home life (though only of few short years). Words are not at our command to express its beauty and serenity, for her home was an earthly heaven. Christ was at its head and it was a haven of refuge from the world. The atmoaphere of that home was an atmosphere of prayer and devotion—devotion to God, devotion to husband, to love ones and frends. Such a life was ready to cross the river of death. "I know I am nearing-the holy ranks Of friends and Itrved ones deal; I brush the dews on Jordan's banks, 4 The crossing must b^ near.” Her presence among us was a continual blessing und earnestly did we pour out our continual prayers to God to spare her to us for His glory. Now that He .saw fit to take her to be with Him, we miss her pleasa it face and cheerful greeting. Her memory' lingers as a benf'diction. We have no doubt as to her destination. It can be truly said of her, “She hath done what she could.” Mrs. Burckhalter had been with her sister-in-law, Mrs. B. A. Roun tree, for about six weeks, thinking perhaps the change would do her good and it being more convenient to receive medical treatment, but with all the tender nursing and care showered upon her by her physician^ loved ones and friends, nothing could stay the hand of death. She was laid to rest in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends in the Joyce Branch ( emetery Wednesday morning, the funeral services being conducted by her pastor, the Rev. B.. M. Foreman of Aiken. Her society a (tended - the funeral in a body ami carried flowers as the last deed of love they could be. stotv. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, showing the high esteem in which she was held. She is survived by he husband, A town is merely a collection of peo. f a ^ er . Mr. A. P.
