OBITUARY.

MARY STEPHENS, COnsoTt Of John Ste
,bens. died Of Dnpsy, in Casper township, al
Ter a long and painful illness She was BORN
December 81, 1924. and died March %, 1855.
aged 81 wears Q months and 81 days. She was
a reputabIe member Of the NJ. E. Church and
had been for many years. Nor had she sought
her Savior in vain, but found him faithful 10
his word, for she enjoyed his blessing both pre-.
yious TO and during her illness. The writer
several times visiie! her during her conhne.
ment TO her room, and ever found her hopeful
and happy. She had not entert ined any hope
of recovery for some months, but on theThurs-
dav week previous 10 her death, i became APP
paren, that her end was nigh. Finding her
self rapidly sinking, she called, on Monday
morning previous 10 her death, the members
Of her own and fathers family 10 her bed side
TO hear her diving charge. She first addressed
her husband, requesting him 10 meet her in
'eaven, and directing him how 10 take care
OF her orphan children. Thenspeuking 10 all
the rest separately, she closed with her father
whose oge has already horne him to The suberbS
of the other world. Impressive indeed. were
the lessons then given, and while memory re
mains they will not be forgotten. She then ex-
pressed TO Mrs. B. Acton. who was standing
near, her full assurance Of endless life, and
named in detail The chosen friends she expected
10 greet very soon. 'What a little space di'
vides u.s. she said; Il shall soon see mymother.'
During this conversation, her voice strength
ened greatly, and she remarked, "Though ]
have eaten nothing TO day, | have been feast
ing on heavenly things, and it makes me
strong" Shortly after this she sunk INTO a
feeble state in which her mind wandered a
great deal. On Friday evening she desired &c
hear singing and prayer, ''onre more' before
she died. After Brother William Campbell
addressed the Throne Of Grace, she hecamt
rapiurous in her religious feelings and desired
hose around her 10 sing loudly and shout 70
her. After this she retained the right use o
her mind and continued devotional, and OF
Saturday sung in q low voice a part OF tn
, hymn beginning, 30 for a thousand tongue
to sing" &c. Thus she sung and prayed. an,
triumph.d until about an hour be fore her deaf
on Sabbath morning, when she requested TO b
turned over "just once more" This done sh
gently and sweetly sunk into that proionn
Slumher that none but Heavens angel sbaI
disturb. Thus she passed away from trial I
} victory. Then shout on blest saint, in faire
climes than this May the bereft remembe
well her diving connsels, and meet again be
You'd the power Of parting.

appear to be laboring with commendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard TO all
matters affecting their POLITICAL social and Pc
c~uniary welfares, permit US to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we baVe ever brought TO this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock We deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who will favor us with a call will hnd it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles Of
every style, variety and quality of Ladies'
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment Of House
Keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries. DC.
Having changed our mode Of doing business,
it will be proper for US to state, for the salts
faction of our old customers, briefly, our res-
sons for so doing. Our first great object is to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap, We wish to
avoid the losses of bad debts and I" long wind
ed " customers ; we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do 1st, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save us 10 peg
cent, 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk Sd, we will save s per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
think it safe to say that it will make 'al differ
enee of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys,
tenn. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods, of course care butlittle about-the price,
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea.
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and well-wishers,

ORGANIZE, GAME

Democrats of Ashland County, the
time for action has arrived Tho busy
season will soon be over, when it is ex-
pected that every man will put his Shout
der to the wheel and assist in pushing
on the Car. we hope soon to hear that
a Hickory Club has been organized in
every Township. Do not wait for speak
ers from the C~entre-get up your Clubs,
do your own talking, and consult togeth-
er as to the best means of securing a thor
ough organization in your Township.
Every school district should be polled,
and with a little effort the position of
each Township can be definitely ascer-
tanned. If it is found that a Hickory
Club cannot we'll be kept up, then get
up large clubs forgood Campaign papers,
and circulate them gratuitously among
those who are not able to take them.
Democrats, the time has arrived when
victories no longer are gained without
an effort. Ashland County is as thor
oughly Democratic in sentiment to day
as it ever was, but with a foe as unscr;-
pulous and active as the oao with which
we now have to deal, victory can alone be
made secure By earnest, united, unre-
hitting toll. Victory is certain to
perch upon our banners if ne but will
it so. Up then, Democrats, aud com
mence the work in earnest. The day OF
battle draws uear-no longer sleep upon
your arms. Watch, for in an hour when
least expected the foe. will be upon US
Let every weak point be guarded, and
let every man be at his post. Be watch
full, active and true, and victory is ours
