The Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXII SPECIAL DELIVERY RULES MODIFIED, HEREAFTER TEN CENTS iN ANY KiND OF STAMPS WILL INSURE IMMEDIATE DELIVERY. Under a new postoffice rnle which became effected Monday morning, duly 1, it is no longer necessary to place a special delivery stamp on a letter to insure immed iate delivery. Ten cents in stamps of any denomination in addition to regular postage will accomplish the same result as the “special stamp provided instructions for immed iate delivery are written plainly across the envelope, The new regulation will prove a great convenience to the public. It has often been the case heretofore that persons wishing to get off an important letter save being hinder ed from doing so.because the par ticular department of the post office which sold special delivery stamps happened not to be open. On Sundays this was epecially so. Realizing this the government has changed the requirements. In the future ten cents in stamps will be equivolent to a special delivery stamp. QUARTERLY MEETING.

NOBLE YOUNG LACY PASSES TO GREAT BEYOND. Not for a long time has such a sad wave of sorrow passed over Mc- Donough and each heart bowed down with such intense and poig nant grief as on Sunday morning when it was announced the Resist less Rrapey had passed over the town and claimed one of the bright est and most loved jewels of the entire community, the Death An gel hearing the sweet and noble spirit ot Miss Raleigh A'. Glass to the Great Beyond early Sunday morning after an illness of five weeks with typhoid fever. While all realized that she was very sick yet just the day before it seemed that probably the crises in her illness had been passed and that she would soon be on the road to a complete recovery but late Sat urday afternoon a change for the worse came and she gradually grew worse until about 2 :B0 o'clock Sun day morning when her pure and gentle spirit p issed the spirit land of the blessed. She was one of the brightest, noblest and sweetest young ladies of the town, and lacked only four days of being seventeen years old. When she was about twelve years old she joined the church and since that time she has lived a no ble and devoted Christian life, her zeal and work for the blessed Christ being suoh linit people of much older and nmturer lives would do well to follow her exam ple as a pure and sincere follower of the lowly Christ. She was one of seven girls in the graduating class this year at the AlcDonough public school, and up to the time of her sickness she was the leader in her class of bright and beautiful young ladies, and it was the source of much disappointment to her class and every pupil and teacher of the school that she was not able to be present during the closing days of the school. When quite young she was adopted by her uncle, Mr. and Mis. N. A. Glass, were as fondly attached to her as if she had been tl eir own daughter. She was the daughter of Mr. and Airs. AV. L. Glass, of near Flippen. She is survived by her parents, one brother and live sisters. The funeral was held from the Methodist church Monday aftej noon at one o'clock, Rev. J E. England officiated assisted by Revs C. Y. Weathers and J. M. Sewell. The interment was in the McDon ough cemetery. A very large concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to their last resting place, attest ing the high esteem and love in which she was held by all who knew her. The Weekly extends sincere and deepest sympathy to Sheriff and Mrs. Glass, her father and mother and all the sorely bereaved frriends and relatives. FOR SALE.

We want to make the day one of great interest, in the forward movement of the Sunday School work in onr dear old county won’t you come to help ns, we need you, it is your work, you should he in terested. We think the Sunday School one of the best agencies for ! pointing the child’s hope upward, ! as its chief aim is to teadh the ; word of God to learn more of the way and to help each other in I studying the Book, and singing praises to our God. Allow me to say, we would be glad if each school that has not given any thing for the Orphans, ! would bring or send something, ! you certainly are in favor of help- j ing the Orphans’ home. Pleasant Hill gave $21.00, Libor •ty Hill $5.25, Bethany $4 57, Me ! Donough Presbyterian SIO.OO, col lection at Alt. Carmel $5.25. It bus been decided to divide equally all j we can raise between the Aletho-, dist, Baptist and Presbyterian Or phan Homes. Tdo not think there is a school in the county but what can help us in this cause, remember what Je sus said. He that givetli a cup of cold water to one of these little etc not only do I believe you can give but that God will bless the gift. AVe have invited the Govern or Elect, to bo with us on that day. So we expecting a fine address we will try to secure Judges outside of the county, for the schools that contest for the banner, come, let him that readeth say come and bring well filled baskets, come. , 11.
