POETRY.
THE OLD MILL

One hundred years the mill has stood;
One hundred years the dashing Hood
Has turned the wheel with roaring sound
Through foaming waters, round and round.
One hundred years; and overhead
The same broad roof OF blue Is spread
And in the meadows, bright and green,
The miller's children still are seen.
And Thus the world o still the same
The sunset clouds are turned to fame;
And while we live and when we die,
The lark still carols In the sky.
And others rise to all our place
We sleep and others run the race;
And earth beneath and skies above
Are still the same and God is love.

pcatA o. au Old and Worthy
Citizen.


John Pirtle, son of the Rev. John
Pirtle, deceased, and brother of the Hon.
Judge Pirtle, and of the late Rev. Clai-
born Pirtle, NJ. ID. Of Louisville, Kcn>
lucky, was born in Washington county,
Kentucky, July the 9th, 1891; was mar
ried twice, first to Miss Clarissa r. Rob
erts, in June 1881. He had seven chill
dren by his first wife, four sons and three
daughters. One of his sons is now act
ing as one of the Stewards on the Ha-i-
ford circuit, and more honorable 3ud
faithful officer the writer never knew. -
Brother John Pirtle was married the
second time to Mrs. Sallie A. Sublett,
August the 10Th, 1916; had five children
by his last wife, two sons and three
daughters, two Of them worthy members
of our church, The subject of this notice
made a profession OF religion and Joined
the NJ. +. Church, the rise of lifty-six
years ago. He departed this life ct his
Residence in Ohio county, Kentucky, Sep
TENDER eth, 1870. He died as he had
lived; trusting in Christ.
As a citizen he was perfectly reliable,
and accommodating and obliging. These
excellent traits in his character caused
his neishbors to highly estcem and res
spect him. This was evidenced during
his sickness and at his burial, by the
concOurse that attended. He was q kind
husband and an aiIectionate father; he
loved his family, and provided well for
them. lie has left them q good maine,
which is more valuable than riches The
writer visited him during his sickness
found him calm and composed His fam.
lily was very much concerned about his
case then, and | am certain if love, SYM
patty and prayers could have kept
brother Pirtlc here on earth, he would
not have died at the time he did. But
death comes. Look with what unreluc.
/ tant grandeur, in the felt embrace Of
death. He yiells himself to God. The
angel of hope and death is present tC
guide and console him. A well-deiined
consciousness of immortal life absorls
him, aud in dying he feels that he but
casts earth's throbbing dust aside TO put
his diadem of glory on. He is done
with earth. With him all is elevated
and extra-mundane. The Heavenly
mansions sweep in the eye as the prom,
Used sequel of tears and darkness o
earth. As he passed the cold and turbiC
river of Death, he saw the splendors o
Immortality streaming abroad and invest
/ ing his home. Thus we trace the history
aud life Of brother John Pirtle, until WI
see him retiring in death, tranquil as tn,
moon moving through the deep, still
ocean Of Heaven. Like the magnificent
sun OF a summer setting slowly aud Sc
renely amid the blessings Of q grateful
world. With him the pilgrimage OF lii'
is now closed, and futurity opens to hi
eve the radience OF a sublime state o
being amid the successive sPlendors o
unlying day. May the blessings Of th'
great head of the church rest upon III,
wife aud children OF the deceased, aut
may they all meet in Heaven.

Indiana STATE Convention.

BY far the largest and most deter
mined set of men that ever assembled
in the State, met in convention in In
dianapolis, on the Sth inst, and unan-
imously adopted the following resolu-
tons. eve leave off preamble)
Rcsolra1, That it is the imperative
duty of Congress to provide by law a
plan for counting the electoral vote,
which, by its reasonableness and jus
tice, will commend itself to the judg-
ment of the people, and command their
acquieseence in the business of the
count, and that this shall be at the
earliest day consistent with due delib-
Grafton, to the end that the disquiet
which now pervades the people shall
be allayed
Resolved, That, according to the
plain meaning of the Constitution, and
according to ell past political usage the
power of counting the vote resides in
the two houses of Congress.
ResOlud, That we denounce the prop
Osition that the president of the Senate
has the power, not only TO open but 10
count the vote, as an innovation, which
the sentiment Of the people will not
tolerate: If such power shall be as-
sumed, and its exercise attempted, We
call upon the two houses Of Congress
to take prompt and otlectual measures
for the assertion of their constitutional
prerogatiye in that regard.
ResoInod, That Il Congress shall
provide by law just plan for count

The Nichols Government is having
everything its own way 50 far. 1t is
upheld and supported by the people,
and they have gone right along and
taken possession of the Offices, records,
and everything except the State House
in which Packard and his crew are en-
campcd.
TX. Gov. Pinchhack has gone beck
on Packard, and six more Senators
and ten more Representatives deserted
Packard on Monday, and joined the
Nichols Legislature.
Senators Wadleigh and Ogleshy, of
the |. :. Senate committee, refused
TO sign 4 telegram recommending the
recognition of the Packard Govern
ment.
Kellogg bought his election to the
United States Senate by the Packard
Legislature, and has been exposed by
Senator Ross Stewart, Il brother-in-law
Of Pinchback. He paid $50 each for
Representatives, and $1,000 each ior
Senators. Ex. Gov. Yarmouth is
also mort.iaJ against Packard's interest
and has moved an adjournment Of the
Illegal Legislature, sine die.
Wells, Anderson and Kenncr, of the
Returning Board, have left for Wash
ington, carrying with them the cleo
ton returns TO prevent 4 rc-canvasS of
them by the Nichols Government.
Mr.. Brown, of Vernon, finding out
that he was actually defeated, although
counted in by the Returning Board,
deserts the fraudulent Legislature and
goes home.
Only fifteen Senators are left.
The smallpox has broken out in
Packard's camp.
The latest report says Jim Casey has
gone back on Packard.
