DIED.

In this place, last Sunday afternoon, Mrs. MARY
A DUGAN, wife Of Mr. George NJ. Dugan, in the
fOrty-fTst year of her age,
Lingering sickness was the lot Of this excellent
Christian woman. Seeing that wasting disease had
singled her out its victim, she became
signed TO the affective Providence. All that afec-
Tomato and cOnsideratc friends, and devoted hus-
band could do to stay the disease temper its
gcs was cheerfuly done, but neither travel nor
friendly attentions could avert the shaft that Laid
her low. Surrounded by endeared friends, and the
sweetened influence Of cherished home, she quiet
Iy fell asleep amid the Sabbath's sacred hush Not
a cloud Swallowed her way she passed the
other shore. Her character nurtuTed and de
veloped by the tendercst religious care, and though
the death Of her parents at early age dashed her
young life with sOmbre shades, yet those affections
melloEed her nature and tnctured her womanhood
with the soberness Of matUTed life in Christ. She
gTieved not for herself leaving earth she rather
reiOiced but she gTievcd leave the dear ones Of
the home cirClc-her four interesting children and
loving husband But even these she resigned tu the
tender Shepherds care, believing that His onlnipo-
tent love would be their shield and soace. She -
calmly, sweetly passed to that golden Shore and
now bending DER those jasper walls and gates Of
pearl, she is waiting and watching 20 welcome her
loved ones when the pale boatman' shall bid them
cross the troubled stream. \ Sainted mother is
triple charm binding the living to the heau-
ties Of the skies. The light Of her redeemed life Il
as bright lamp hung out from the battlements Of
heaven 10 guide the feet Of husband and children in
the way that leads to that sinless land, The sun
bright cline The strife Of that tired heart is end
ed, AMI that earth-uother has become IN angel
watcher What legacy of joyous remembrance To
the surviving household,
Oh, joy for the hlest

One day last week native" from the
Hickory Valley country came to town and
applied to Sam Miller for job of cutting
wood-he said he did not want long job,
but would work for him the rest of the day
and half of the next for fifty cents. He
said he was engaged to be married and the
time appointed for the nuptials was the next
evening at 8 o'clock, and he wanted the fifty
cents TO pay for the license. Unfortunately,
Sam had no work for the love-sick swain,
but to determined mind "there is no such
word as fail" He snapped off pocket
knife for bushel of peaches and sold the
peaches to Pitser Birdsong for the fifty cents
requisite to pay for the marriage license.
Having obtained those all-important docu-
ments, he started for home, saying, an be
a married man tomorrow night at o'clock
and don't you forget it."
