DlED-Al Salu, Madison county, H.
lInois, on Sunday, August 2Olh, 1926,
FRANCIS l.. MAxEY, son Of the Rev.
Bennett Maxey, aged twenty-five years
and eight months.
AS the death OF friends and fellow
mortals is a warning to the living, so
their character, especially those traits
which have connection with their disso-
luton, may often be held forth as an ex.
ample either to be Stunned or followed.
Many excellent things have been record.
ed Of the pious in all ages but the cha.
racters generally selected have been
those which shone with an outward lus-
tire, and in greater or less degree ac-
quired public notoriety; therefore to re.
cord their virtues was only to repeat
what was generally known and acknow.
lodged of them.
But to trace the low and humble walks
OF HE, to explore the latent mines of the
heart, where grace, like diamond in
its bed, has lain concealed from public
view, to describe suffering virtues which
have been exhibited, not on the theatre
Of public action, but on bed Of silent
lsnguishing, is . more delicate, as we'll
as q more difficult task. But such was
the state OF the deceased and if view
of his character cannot eclipse the efFul.

it may at leas. cost ray Of consolation

throughout the circle OF his more imme-
date acquaintance.
Francis L. Maxey was person OF a
thoughtful and contemplative turn; the
soundness of his understanding and his
enlarged views, cvinced that he possess
ed mind adapted TO usefulness. His
temper and disposition was even and
mlld. His generation aud respect Of
parents was profound. His attachment
to friends was firm and sincere. Al
though he had never made public pro-
fession Of religion. yet it is evident he
had regard for its sacred principles,
and during his illness frequently ex-
pressed his regret that he had not paid
more devout attention 10 the all impor-
,ant concerns Of eternity. For more
than two years previous TO his decease,
he was constantly and severely afflicted
with complain, which finally terminal.
ed his earthly existence; during this
long and painful season he uniformly
acknowledged the hand of God in his
Attic ion, and seemed to kiss the rod
and Him that had appointed it. His
patience in suffering was wonderful! II
a, any time murmuring thought escap
ed him, he would suppress it, by the re
collection that all was Tor the best, and
tina, sanctlfed affections are calculated
to promote the spiritual welfare OF those
who experience them.
He bare the marks Of true peni!ence.

MORE INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

We are sorry to learn, by the follow
log letter, from respectable source IN
Miller county, tina, the Indians have
committed another depreciation on the
citizens of that county.-TheIr boldness
in coming into the settlements, and with
in short distance Of the garrison, must
be rather alarming 10 the citizens OF that
quarter; and the frequency OF their de-
predictions, la,terly, would seem to JUST
iy, in our opinion, the sending out into
their own country, competent force to
chastise them for their temeriy. For
bcarance on the part Of the governm ent.
under existing circum stances, would only
encourage them in the commission of
other and greater acts OF aggression on
our citizens, which may now be averted
by the application OF the proper means.
MILLER @. H. "a. T.. AUG 8. 1926.
Dear &r-We have Just received in
formation, that the Usage Indians have
been committing outrages upon some oil
our citizens, Just beyond the limits OF our
county. A party Of SIX men, some Of
whom were from Hampstead, having
obtained permit from the Command.
ant at Fort Towson, to go in'o the Buff
falo range for their health, proceeded
about two days travel, when they die
covered Osages making towards them.
A, FIRST they determined to give them
battle, but finding the number OF Indians
about thirty, declined contest, and all
retreatcd excep, two, who were taken
prisoners, and stripped Of all their cloth

dians also took y pack mule and horse,

pened that we spent the last week, and
of course the lasi A'h OF July, in New
London. II is said to every good pic
ture there should be three lights, and in
our view this principal of the pyramid"
was emblazoned gloriously. The De
caration OF Independence was read with
emhhasi8. OLD HUNDRED was sung
by every body IN the meeting house
and ii held on that occasion nearly all
the town land thirdly, the year oil Ju-
bilee was proclaimed at the dinner, and
the sheriff was directed to open the pri-
son doors and bring in his bill On this
last point we may be permitted TO go
into particulars. Before the wine was
circulated, gentleman (Mr. Law, pro-
posed to the President, Judge Perkins,
that the company present make gene

amount OF their debts more or less. The
motion was carried ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
sheriff was ordered by authority oil the
President of the day, to open the doors
and bring in his bill. The plate was
passed, and when the first, second, and
third gentlemen, among whom was
Capt George Rogers, OF the Navy, had
pu, in $50 each, aud others were emp
tying their pockets, The sheriff rose and
told The company that there was enough
or if not that he would lock TO the re.
mainder. A committee was appointed
to see to a general clearing out, and the
debtors were addressed by the President
with a delicacy admirably suited to the
occasion; for, instead OF reminding them
that they were free, they were taken by
the band and invited to drink glass Of
wine, by which was probably understood
as many E lasses as they wanted

On one occasion he observed TO his ia
lber have often been disobedient and
ungrateful, and l now ieel it my duty 10
confess my suls and ask forgiveness"
HIS admonltions were mild and gentle.
he would advert to some tact, or cite
some passage oil scripture, by which he
would cndeavor to impress some I'm.
portant considerations on the minds OF
his friends.
Sometime previous to his dissolution
be thought he experienced an inward
change OF heart, and although the wit
ness was not at all times so clear as he
could wish, yet he was enabled to look
on his approaching dissolution with the
utmost calmness and composure OF
mind. If he had any desire 10 live, it
was only that he might reqoite his pa
rents and friends for their unwesried
attention TO him through the long peri.
cd OF helpless dependence in which be
was the subject OF their continual care
Such was his view OF the corrupting in.
f1uence Of the world, that he feared, il
restored TO health, that he might be
drawn into that falal vortex of sin which
has tendency to drown men in perdl-
ton; hence to depart and TO be with
Christ he considered 10 be far better
than TO continue in state of trial and
| temptation here below.
He took delight in devotional exer-
cises, and seemed refreshed when pray
ers were made, or hymns OF praise sung
in his presence; it was his earnes, de,
sire tina, he might enjoy his reason and
speech to the las. in this respect his
prayers were fully answered, as if Con
had said " be it unto thee even as thou
| wilt"
Al length the important moment drew
near in which the clay tabernacle, which
had long been in state Of decay, must
be dissolved, and the immortal spirit
burst from its corruptible mansion, and
wing its way to the invisible world. An
alteration being discovered in his coun-
tenance, portending that death was at
hand, he asked the bystanders il they
thought him dying On being answered
| IN the affirmative, he look an affection
ate leave OF his friends, exporting them
to prepare 10 meet him in Heaven. On
being asked whether he had any doubts,
| he answered /" | have no reason to doubt,
believe God will not suffer me to be
deceived" He then requested them to
sing n" And let this feeble body fail, "
sc. in which devotion he joined with an
audible voice, until his strength failed.
After recovering little, he earnestly
prayed God to sanctify and prepare blm
for his heavenly kingdom. Near his
last words were, "Come, Lord Jesus,
take me soul and body;" then, while
one was at prayer by his bedside, with
heavenly smile on his countenancc,
without struggle or groan he fell
asleep in Jesus.
His funeral was attended by large
number of citizens and sermon was
preached by Rev. Isaac SCARRITT, to an
attentive audience.
Some days previous to his death he ey-
pressed warm desire that the family should
meet and sing this hymn with him in bis de-
parting moments. He also wished that none
but the faily should be present at this trying
| hour.
