A quiet loving domestic woman
whose watchword was duty, she
left a yoid that cannot be filled in
her home circle.
Her husband who is fast nearing
life's closing hour, will find them
hard to live without the the tender
love and care she gave him.
Her brothers and sisters will miss
her sympathy and helpful advice.
To a larao circle of friends she
has ever been a helpful and uplift
ing force.
She has left them all behind to
bear life's burdens, and meet its soi
rows without ber help; but dearly as
they loved her noi.e of them would
wish her to return from the joys she
surely met in ber Heavenly Father's
house.
Wos not the mother long since de.
parted awaiting ber at tbe door?
Tbe sisters whose grass grown graves
are all that we can see, were not
they there to welcome ber, and lead
her into everlasting joys?
No Christiah can doubt the re
union of loved ones after death and
though we neither see ncr hear them
we know we shall meet and know
them again.

but a little while, and we too shall

In Memorlam
We bring a tribute of love in mem
ory of our little scholar and class
mate, Willie Burton, who left us
for a heavenly home on Friday , Feb.
12, 1909, aged 8 years.
Ilia place among us is vacant and
we miss bis bright face in our school
but we bow in bumble submisdon
to tbe will of an alwhso God who saw
fit to take him from pain and sick
ness to that bright world where
there is no suffering nor sorrow.
Therefore, be it resolved: That
wecheiish bis memory and imitate
bis life.
Second: That we extend to his
sorrowing loved ones our deepest
sympathy. Weep not sad ones tbe
Lord is nigh to those who mourn, to
comfort and bless.
Farewell, dear Willi, may we
meet in that land of undimmed beauty
where flowers and sunshine never
fade nd parting is unknown.
"They never quit leave us.
Our friends wbo btva Pjaaed
Through tba Shadows of Death,
To the sunshine abovs;
A tboueaod sweet memories,
Are holding them fast
To the homes that they hi"1

At a mass meeting in the city
ot Tampa on Sunday afternoon, Feb
ruary 21st, it was ruy privilege to
give a short addicts to a large com
pany who bad there gathered to lis-j
ten to Rev. 1'. A. B iker, D. I), the
national superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League.
"In discussing the situation in the
stale ot Florida, I totalled upon the
complexion of the next legislature as
bjaiing upou the present liquor sit
uation in tbe state. I made the st;.t
ment that more than three-fifths of
the members elect of the legislature
are pledged to support the resolution
to submit to popular vote, i prohibi
tion amendment to the constitution
and that of the members so pledged
all but three have willingly written
this ollicc; over their own signature
of their purposo to stand by the
amendment proposition.
"On Wednesday, the 24th inst. , a
Tamta p'iper cdiUvially attacked my
htatement and practically challenged
rue to produce the proofs of it. I
immediately wrote the editor ot the
Tampa .paper, repealing my state
ment of last Sunday and siating
again that we have the letters I claim
ed to have on file in my ( 111 e. 1

paper to submit these leliers in ques
tion to a committee of three prom'-
nent clergymen, representing ns
many-denominations, and ottered to

the r findings in the ca9e.
'I am asking that the newspapers
of the state give space to this state
merit, for fear that some of our
fiiends over the state mav see the
editor's attack and way. not see my
article in reply.
"The Honor n:oule of the state
are at liberty to yet whatever com
fort they can out of the present leg
islative situation in Florida, and i
do not blame them and the newspa
pers which tl.ey control, for trying
to keep up their courage by insisting
chat the legislature will turn this
m-nhiliilmn amendment down. I do
i
not want to be understood as claim

ply state that enough men have vol
nnt-ered to vote in favor of this
amendment proptsition to carry
through.
