August 29 " * I ghr In Lovlfiff Memory. On the 29th day of May 1910, the death angel visited the home of Mr and Mrs S K Stevens and took away our loving father. He was fifty four years, eleven months and fifteen days old when the dear Heavenly Father took him home to rest Papa said he was going home, and we feel that he is safe in the arms r?f .Tabus.. He wan sink onlv about thirteen days and he bore his sufferings witn patience. He was a loving father, good kind and devoted husband, always ready to help those in trouble. Oh! "how hafd it is to part with the one we love so dear But the one that knows all things best, doeth all things well and his will must be done. All that loving hands could do was done, but none could stay the icy hand of death. On Sunday morning at about four o'clock he fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, which none even wake to weep. Oh! papa it was so hard for us to leave you over there in the lonely graveyard, but we know you are only asleep, and out of this world where sin trouble and sorrow do prevail, He has paid the debt we have all got to pay and his long suffering pains are ended. He leaves a wife, six children, two grand children, one sister and two brothers besides a host of friends to mourn their loss, but we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. May wc meet you on the golden shore, where parting will be no more. His remains were laid to its resting place on the following morning in the Williams cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing friends to await the resurrection morn, when the trumpet shall sound and we'll be gathered to the throne, all the children one by one. A precious one from us has gon?, fTI U /v a! a V 1 . ?*/% a f~* /-.(-all x ut; vuiuc wo i jvc is sum, A. place is vacant in our huine, That never can be filled. lie has suffered his last pain, and is now at rest, where all is free from sin, And with Jesus is blest. He was ever sweet and loving. Ever ready to console, Gh! how my heart aches for my Father, Since his face J see no more. So sleep on dear papa, sleep on, Nothing can disturb your rest, While with God and the angels you sing. And you reign with the ever bl?st Papa we know you are gone, And can never return, But if we are good and true. Some day we can go to you, So farewell sweet father darling, Thou art gone, To the great mystic beyond, Where none but spirits evar enter In the presence of the Lord.

Oq the evening of May 22 nd, 1910, the death angel visited the home of Mr and Mrs R P Todd and took from them their darling little boy, O car Edison. He was spared to live with them one year, eleven months and eighteen days, but during this time he entwined himself around the heart of all who knew him by his cheery disposition and sweetness. On Thursday, May 12th, his condition grew worse, and all was done that the doctor and loving hands could do, but it appeared that nothing but death cjuld relieve the little sufferer and on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock his immortal spirit took its everlasting flight to the.land of never fading day. He was buried on the following Tuesday at the Hickory Grove graveyard The burial services were conducted by the Rev W G Chestnut in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends.

A warrant was also sworn out for him by the county authorities and this case together with his appeal from the town court came up for trial before Judge AIdrich in the oarly part of 1909. In \he meantime, Parker had given bond and made his escape in to North Carolina, and he was nol present at the trial which resulted in a sealed sentence. He was finally located at Lumber Bridge, North Carolina, and arrested at that place last Saturday afternoon by the deputy sberitT of Robeson county assisted by Mayor H. P.

Some J members of the towu council, we ire informed, have delayed the matter so far, for one cause or v mother, so that no action has been taken. Some of them have ex- I pressed themselves as being in favor of filing the resolution in a ^ pigeon hole where it may remain indefinitely. We call the attention of the council to the fact thut t resolution was the result of a meeting of representative business men ( jf the town and their wishes should jave some consideration. There is jo good reason why the bonds 1 ihould not be voted and whether ihey are voted or not is a easy ( naiter for the council to order the election.
