THE DEATH ROLL. 



Jettie Robinson Dew. 



Jettie Robinson Dew, the wife of Ar- 

 thur H, Dew, passed away December 19, 

 1906, aged 30 years, after nine weeks 

 of illness. Until recently her health 

 was considered excellent, when suddenly 

 she became ill with stomach trouble and 

 continued to grow worse. All that hu- 

 man skill could do was of no avail. 



Mrs. Dew was born at Albion, Mich., 

 and all her life was spent in this place. 

 She graduated from Albion college in 

 1892. She was a faithful member of 

 the Presbyterian Church. She leaves a 

 husband and a little daughter, Gwendo- 

 lyn. Dorothy, the first-born, died three 

 years ago. 



Arthur J. Newton. 



Arthur J. Newton, head of the New- 

 ton Floral Co., of Norfolk, Va., died at 

 his home January 22, after a week's 

 illness from pneumonia, at the age of 

 62 years, 



Mr. Newton came from the north to 

 Norfolk fifty years ago. He married 

 Annie P. Odend'hal, of Norfolk, who, 

 with four sons, survives him. The sons 

 are: Arthur M., Ernest J,, William J. 

 and Alton R. Newton. He also leaves 

 a brother, John Newton, of Hartford, 

 Conn., and four sisters: Miss Hannah 

 Newton, of New York city, Mrs. Olive 

 Brittingham, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Mrs, 

 Sylvia Rice, of Massachusetts, and Mrs. 

 Erasmus Gornsey, of New York city. 



For many years Mr. Newton was an 

 extensive truck gardener in Norfolk 

 county, but for a number of years he has 

 been at the head of the Newton Floral 

 Co. in Norfolk, which had a small be- 

 ginning, but which has grown to its pres- 

 ent extensive proportioi j. He was also 

 president of the Mutual Benefit Associa- 

 tion, a farmers' insurance company of 

 Norfolk, Princess Anne and Nansemond 

 counties. He was a prominent member 

 of the Methodist church. The funeral 

 occurred January 25 at the residence, 

 relatives from the north being present. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There have been no large decorations 

 the last week and the continued high 

 prices have had' the effect of putting a 

 damper on small buyers, so that most of 

 the retailers are complaining, but stock 

 still continues scarce and it takes it 

 all to take care of what trade there is. 



The weather has been extremely cold 

 since January 22, with the thermometer 

 hovering around the zero mark. The 

 coldest reported was at L. I. Neff's 

 place, at Springdale, Saturday night, 

 when the thermometer registered 14 de- 

 grees below zero, falling 12 degrees be- 

 tween 11 o'clock and midnight. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburg wholesale florists' em- 

 ployees' first dance will be held at 

 Cyclorama parlors, Monday evening, 

 February 11. The committee assures all 

 friends who attend a good time. 



The club smoker, held January 22, was 

 not so well attended as usual. The ex- 

 ceedingly cold weather, which set in that 

 afternoon, no doubt had something to 

 do with keeping some of the boys look- 

 ing after their houses. However, those 

 who were there had a pleasant time. Ed 

 McCollum, of the Pittsburg Florists'

Exchange, and George Marshall, of the 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., did a funny 

 stunt in black and white in which they 

 touched up almost every one in the trade. 

 It was a feature of the evening and 

 everything said was original. All were 

 pleased with the genuine wit they dis- 

 played. There would be an opening for 

 them if they changed their line of busi- 

 ness. During the evening a short busi- 

 ness session was held for the nomination 

 of officers for the ensuing year. By 

 unanimous vote all the old officers were 

 nominated for re-election. 



The club has had a successful year, 

 growing in membership, and also has a 

 nice nest egg in the treasury. At the 

 next meeting we expect reports from 

 those who attended the carnation con- 

 vention at Toronto. The delegates ar- 

 rived home Saturday morning after a 

 pleasant trip, and all praise the kind 

 treatment given them by our Canadian 

 brethren. Hoo-Hoo.
