A Tribute to B. S. Clements.
Monday morning, Nov. 17, the
gentle spirit of Mr. 15. S. Cements
wended its way to the home of
many mansions, to enjoy through¬
out the endless age of. eternity
that reward which is prepared for
those who love the Lord.
This good man had be~n in fee
ule health for several months. He
l ive his suffering without murmur¬
ing and with tire fortitude of a
Christian soldier. 8uch a life as
his is not lost but will live on with
its holy incense to bless those who
remain.
He had been a resident of
White ,, Su.phur , , bpringB . since 1881.
He was especially fond of little
children and was a kind husband
and a gentle, loving stepfather.
One of bis favorite verses was
‘ All things work together for
good to them that love the Lord.”
He I eaves several brothers and
a stepdaughter to mourn his loss.
His body was laid to rest in the
Ogletree cemetery to await the
resurrection morn.

and cuts down costs by
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers’ crops en¬
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads—the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world’s markets.
The railroads—like the farms—increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
