DIED-On the 29d ult., Mrs. MAR
GARET R., wife of James M. Defoor, of
disease of the lungs. She was born
February 4. 1927. Her parents being
religious, and members of the NJ. E.
Church, early taught her the principles
of their holy religion; which principles
she embraced when about the age of
twenty. The hope of heaven appeared
to brighten, as the hour of dtath drew
near. And to those who witnessed her
departure, there was not the least shs-
dow of doubt, but her death was most
emphatically the death of the righteous.
She was born and raised near the
town of Patriot, Gallis county, Ohio,
and leaves a kind husband and one
daughter to lament her loss. But their
loss is her eternal gain.
In this town, on the 29th ult., little
CHARLES LEWIS, infant son of Richard
and Sarah B. Langley, aged one year
eight months and twenty-one days.
Yes Charley is gone, and only yes
terday, as it were, he was here in our
midst, in the bloom of health; but alasl
he was like the morning flower, cut
down and withered in an hour. How
sad and disappointed it makes a moth
er's heart feel, when she sees one so
amiable in disposition and sweet in tenn
per torn so suddenly away from her bo-
som by the hand of death, and one
whom she so fondly loved. Not FIVE
minutes before his death he threw his
little arms around his mothers neck and
gave the farewell kiss. He was lovely
in life but more beautiful in death. His
funeral was preached on Tuesday by
Rev. Thomas Harriger, at the residence
of bis parents.
Yes, sweet little Charley has gone forest,
And mingle with his mother earth,
And there to be forever blest,
With Him who gave him birth.
And may this little rosebud lie,
Though hard it was to part,
For once in life it was the pride
OF a fond mothers heart.
Nv little brother I'll bid farewell,
For though leave but one,
Ny father calls and must go
Where you must shortly come.
ly tender parents weep not for me,
You know l must 90 home,
was upon visit here
And now / must return. s.

A SURE REMKDY.-If you are troubled with
Cold, Cough, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, or any
affection of the Lungs or Throat, you are ad-
vised to make trial of STABLER'S ANO-
DYNE CHERRY EXPECTORANT, which is
really what it processes to be, ''good medi-
cine" II it were not such, it would not have
received the decided and warm approval Of
some Of the most celebrated, intelligent and
high minded physicians in the country, who
have been made acquainted with the recipe
from which it is compounded, and who say
that sit will effect more good than any of the
numerous preparations with which the country
is inundated" An array of testimony, such
as can be shown in favor of Stabler's Anodyne
Cherry Expectorant, and STABLER'S DIAR-
RHGA CORDIAL, could never be produced
unless they were really and truly good medi-
cines." Therefore We advise you to make
trial of them, with confidence. See discrip-
tive pamphlets, to be had gratis Of the agents.
Price each, only 50 cents per bottle, or sir bot
ties for 81 so.

in the three markets OF the city, beet Is sold
at laS cents per pound. No one but a
millionaire can aford to eat beef at that
price. II is too much. 1t is out OF all res-
son, With Beef Cattle selling here at

Here the same price prevails. II Is un-
reasonable and we hope some method may
be pursued to reduce the price. The Tn
hume gives the remedy and the cause as fol-
lows.
There is a way II bring down the price
of meat in this city. If meat stalls were
allowed to be opened all over the city, ana
butchers allowed to sell when and where
they pleased. the competition would soon
lower the price. As il is, the monopoly in
the business, W aieh now exists enables the
few persons engaged in the business to con-
troll il as they see tif."
