In Memory
Miss Liller Hinson died Monday
morning about 4 o’clock ISvpt. 15,
tll3. She was taken Aug. 23
ith typhoid fever. It seems that
her physical condition was not good
at all and she grew steadly worse
until the end came. The heroic
treatment resorted to by the nurse
and doctors seemed not to have any
effect.
Yes, sweet little Liller Hinson
has passed away, no more will the
friends and relatives have ttie great
pleasure of her company, l'o more
will this ray of sunshine smile on
her many friends causing feeling of
love for all. It is hard to give up
the idea of looking for the sweet
face that made a Paradise out of
this world of ours.
No one knew Liller but to love
her. Her Christian character has
aided many a one to smooth over
ihe rough places. The world has
heen made better because of the life
and character of this young lady.
She joined church at Salem in
August and has been a consistent
church member. During her short
life she has spoke many strong
words for her Savior and above all,
she has been living exemplification
of the truths and principles which
were promulgated by our blessed
Loid. She believed with the poet
that “Heaven is not gained at a
single bound, But we build the lad
der by which wo rise, And from tin*
lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
VVe mount to its summit round by
round.”
Dr. Ma«sey was with her when
the end came. They had realized
her condition and expected the
worst at any time. Her death bed
scene is too sacred to put in print,
but it was that of a Christian young
lady preparing to take her depar
ture over the river. She proved
the words of the Psalmist when he
says, “Yea though 1 walk through
the Valley of the Shadow of Death
I will fear no evil, Thou art with
me, Thy rod and Thy staff tney
comfort me.” “T>s hard to break
the tender cord when love has
bound thy heart, 'l'is hard, so hard
to speak the words, we must for
ever part.”
The body was interred at Salem
Cemetery. Miss Hinson leaves
parents, sisters and brothers to
mourn her death.

ter, Mrs. D. E Duggan, at eleven
o’clock Monday morning. She had

Dublin Likely To
Have A Curfew
Dublin is likely to have a curfew
ordinance in a short time, says Dub
lin Courier Herald. Tuesday night
last at the meeting-of the city Coun
cil a resolution was passed instruct
ing the ordinance committee to pre
pare such an ordinance and have
it ready for the next meeting of the
body.
The young bloods of our neighbor
ing city must be going it some to
make it necessary for the city fath
ers of that up-to-date town to revive
the old curfew law. This law is
a relic of the old feudal system of
England and was introduced by
William the Conqueror, most prob
ably as a safe guard against fire but
it was regarded by the English as a
badge of servitude. The original
time for ringing was Bo’clock P. M.
A bell rung every evening as a sig
nal to the poeple to extinguish all
fires and retire to rest.
However we are not criticising
our sister city and think it is some
times a capital idea to revive old
customs. For instance, we like the
way our grand mothers dressed much
better than the modern slit dress
and diaphanous garments. We
like the old squafe dance better than
the “bunny hug” and the “turkey
trot.” We like the old timechival
rous gentlemen and courteous young
men of former times, but then they
say we are behind times. Entire
ly out of date. Old “fogies” you
li now.
Now and flii'ii we meet a gentle
man or lady of the old school, Oh,
what a vast difference between them
and the gay young “Lqkharios” of
modern times or for instance the
militant auff,agette one often reads
about in our daily papers or maga
zines. But then this latter class is
up to date and in style, and the
average female had rather he dead
than out of style.
A Filling 1 nbute
The following is an elagiac tribute
clipped from a country paper: “But
yesterday he moved among us in
conscious pride and strength of
sturdy manhood; today his name is
numbered with the silent majority.
It is probable that the single im
mediate cause of his decease will
never he known. The house on his
father’s farm was burning; there
was need for active, decisive, heroic
action; life was to he succored and
property was to he saved and well
he responded to the challenge; but
his soul conscious of its own great
strength, urged his physical body
beyond the limits of mortal endur
ance, and when he fell beneath an
overturned piano it is probable that
exterior and interior injuries com
bined to snap the thread of life.
