Bury Their Mistakes.
The intended victim of a joke
about the failure of prognostica
tions was Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the United States Weath
er Bureau, and the occasion was
a dinner at Washington, says the
Washington correspondence of
the New York World. Over the
cigars and coffee he was made
the subject of many jeers and
gibes about the way the weather
had been failing to measure up to
the Weather Bureau’s specifica
tions.
“There’s one thing to be thank
ful for, anyway,” said a young
doctor. “I see that you follows
are willing to admit that you are
wrong.
"Well, as far as that is con
cerned, responded Moore, “we
have to do that because we have
no alternative. Now, with the
medical profession it is different.
You can bury your mistakes.”

IN MEMORIAM.
Miss Pearl Rhodes Dead.
The man\ friends and relatives
of Miss Pearl Rhodes of the
Scotland section were shocked to
hear of her recent death. Her
last visit home was on February
25th. On Sunday night she at
i tended church at Erick in com
pany with her fiance, Mr. Henry
Kemp, returning Monday to her
j school near Vidalia. She was
; true and faithful to her work,
and would not give up until des
perately ill and a physician was
i J called and succeeded in restoring
■ j her to consciousness for a brief
i time only. Her mother and two
sisters were called by wire but
i found her unconscious, though
! she called her mother’s name
three times. On Wednesday Mr.
Kemp went just in time to see
her before she breathed her last.
She aid not recognize one to
whom she had plighted love’s ten
der vows, but his name was fre
quently murmered by her dying
lips. She died Wednesday night
and the remains were taken to
; Erick for burial where they were
. held until the arrival of her fa
- ther, Mr. T. P. Rhodes, who was
absent in Florida. The interment
took place on Friday.
The casket was beautifully dec
orated with jonquils, wreaths of
green leaves and lilies.
Pearl was a good Christian girl
and a member of the Methodist
church and a faithful one. Rev.
C. C. Hines was her pastor and
conducted the funeral service.
She had reached the age of 23
years and life was opening up in
all its wondrous beauty before
her, but God knows best, and
took her. Oour sympathy goes
out to the bereaved ones. E. C.
