Mrs. Susie E. Newsome was born in Brundidge, was "converted in 1894. Married to Rev. H.

N. Newsome in 1892 and died May 26th, at the Fresh Air Camp Hospital at 2 clock. She had been in declining health for some time and a patient, uncomplaining, cheerful, sufferer till the Grim Reaper, Death, came to her relief on last Sunday morning and while the earth was wrapped in darkness and all was still, he claimed her svreet soul and wafted her spirit to its blest abode. She was indeed a noble character, wonderful. As a mother she was tender and devoted.

Home was always made cheerful under her guiding influence for she had a genius for home-making. As a wire she was sweet tempered, sympathetic, and helpful and may be fitly termed a model minister's wife. As a friend she was kind, sympathetic and generous. All had free access to her. To know her was to love her.

Her kind words and deeds have helpd many a life for she was one of God's ministering angels to the unfortunate, truly a modern Dorcas. The sweet smile she wore and which lighted up her countenance expressed a pure soul within. As a Christian worker she was unexcelled, always going about he rtasks in a quiet, uncomplaining and unassuming, yet determined manner. She was active in every department of the church. She served the St.

John A. M. E. Church President of the A. E.

West board, Sunday School teacher and Sunday School Society and Endeavor worker. In all of these she gave her unselfish, untsinted service. In November she and her husbend celebrated their 25th anniversary of marriage which was very beautiful in every detail. This noble woman of sterling character, of such excellent Christian virtue porved to the world that it "pays to be good. She is survived by a devoted husband, six children, the oldest one studying denistry in ry College, the other five pursuing their iterary training at Payne University, Selma, Ala.

She also leaves four sisters and for brothers of the well known Knox family, well to do farmers of Pike County and other relatives and a host of friends whose hearts go out to the family in this sad hour. Peace. to her ashes. BENEDICT COLLEGE CONFERS NEW DEGREE UPON DR. A.

The first consisted of patriotic songs and drills and the second part was a musical cantata. The children were dressed to represent clouds, sun, raindrops, rainbow, sunbeams, stars and moon. The first scene took place in the land of the Rosy Dawn, where the sunbeams were begging their father, the Sun, to allow them to stay up for the election of a Queen of the universe which was to be that night. The sun refuses as he says it would be impossible, for sunbeams er shine at night. However, the children decide to ask the moon who grants them the privilege.

The second part. was held in the of the Milky Way where the moon, was elected and crowned queen. As morning approached, they sang their farewell song and hastened away to their various duties of helping the universe to run smoothly. Each child did her part exceedingly well. Benton Hall was crowded, and all present expressed appreciation and interest in the program, rendercd through the faithful work of the teachers and children.

The activity of colored in Red Cross and other war work has been notable. At Washington, for an example, all Negro troops coming from Fort Meade are met at the trains and invited to the hostess house at 1634 Fourteenth Street where food, amusements, reading matter, entertainment, and beds are supplied to the boys on furlough. The war has brought to the Negro a better chance for natural self-expression than any event in his history, and he is making the most of his opportunity. Much of the best talent of the race has been absorbed in meeting the need caused by speeding up war industries.

Only one thing regarding price is reasonably certain, and that is whenever any change comes it is sure to be upwards Fortunately for this store and its patrons, we protected ourselves against unusual high price conditions by placing early and extensive orders with the result that now much of our merchandise is being sold you at prices lower than today's market value. MONTGOMERY ted Negroes has exceeded the supply.

No such impetus has ever before been given to education for the Negro. It is true that the illiteracy of the race has decreased from 90 per cent at the close of the civil war to 30 per cent today, but the necessity of wiping out ignorance has been called sharply to our attention by the demands which the war is mak-! ing upon our man power. The proper training of the Negro is a problem which concerns both races. To leave one-third of the colored people undeveloped is failure to utilize the resources of the Nation.

There are decided advantages in saving eggs now and the the water glass method referrd to below is recommended and urged by the U.

S. Government. It is not advisable to set hens after the first of this month as the extremely hot weather is very much against young chicks. Mites, lice and disease are likely to raise havoc among the older birds, to say nothing of the biddies, so instead of wasting eggs by setting them its more advisable to preserve them for winter use. For some time now eggs are going to be cheaper because they are going to be more plenti- CARESS 66 Eat Us and Save the Wheat and Meat for Our Soldier Boys Hale Infirmary and Nurse Training School 325 Lake Street, Montgomery, Ala.

Don't sell your eggs for a little o' nothing now, save them by preserving them in water glass. You can save just one fresh egg a day.

Why not do it? Fresh fruits and vegetables are so plentiful that it is not necessary to have so many cakes, puddings and pies for deserts, consequently more eggs can be saved. Another decided advantage is, all of the eggs do not have to be placed in the solution at one time but may be added as they are obtained. Any one desiring any further information or any assistance in preserving eggs, send a card to the Montgomery postoffice to L. R. Daly, demonstration agent or ring 2899-J.

Don't have any regrets--save your eggs now. Have You Provided a Pension For Your Old Age?
