One of the sweetest songs we have
heard this many day is entitled "We
Shall Meet all the Little Ones There
words and music by Will L. Thomp-
son, East Liverpool, Ohio. The song
is an inspiration of comfort, sure
ly, to all whose homes have been in
vaded by death. 1t is one Of the few
compositions which will live for gen.
erations. To all lovers of music we
say, send 40 cents to the author and
bless the household by copy of this
gem.-[Methodist Recorder.

HA Church have paid on the parsonage,
which they bought three years ago

A year ago they also paid $500 on the
church debt, and have within a few
months given sl76 .35 to calls of benev-

Mrs. Lucetta Graham, wife of Mr..
Angus Graham and mother of Mrs.
w. F. Eccleston, died at her home in
this village on Thursday, April 18th,
at o'clock. She had been sick for
some time, and her death was hourly
expected for the past two weeks. Her
disease was cancer of the stomach, as
learned by post mortem examination.
The funeral will take place at the house
at 10 O'Clock, and the remains will be
buried in the cemetery at Litchfield the
same day y.-[Medina Gazette.
/Mrs. Graham was the mother of
Mrs. Daniel Peters of this place.
Your sidewalks are In bad condition
'H many places. One year ago the
committee on walks canvassed the
whole village and inspected them care
fully. Notice was then given TO lot
owners to repair or put down new ones,
as in their judgment was needed.
A few did 90, but many have not as yet
paid the slightest attention to the order
Of the council. Many other bad places
have been made during the winter by
driving over them, and it would be in
order to have them repaired at once.
A friend at our elbow suggests that the
council pass law empowering the su-
pervisor to 60 on and make repairs
without notice, and charge the expen-
ses to lot owners. Then the public
would run less risk Of broken limbs by
stepping into the many holes that are
criminaly left open.
There has heen rather more than
the usual amount of sickness in We'll
lington this Spring. They have been
mostly cases of lung affection, and
have been severe, especially with aged
people. Jasper Comstock, Burt Davis
and Elizar Smith are among the
more recent cases. The two first are
convalescing, the latter at this writing
Is still seriously i'll but is expected to
recover. Mrs. John Linder, an aged
lady, has been confined TO the house
and bed for many weeks with very lIt-
tie prospect of recovery. We have not
been Informed of the nature Of the di-
sease. There are still others on the
sick list whose names have escaped us,
by means of treacherous memory.
We hope the fine weather which has
finally reached US will aid in speedily
restoring all to their accustomed
health.
When you have had your home
paper for years and years and confessed
that it was the first one sought, and the
most eagerly read; and when you
have always paid for it about a year
after it is due, don't you think 1t a
really handsome thing to do, to come
round and tell the printer that you
have paid out all your money for other
periodicals and must ecouomize by
stopping the local paper? How it
cheers him as he works, to reflect upon
the business sagacity, the tendency to
deal justly, the instructive and univer-
sal goodness and the politeness of the
human race,-cspecially the politeness.
1t is enough to make a man rise right
up and embrace the genius who.invent-
ed "cheek." The looking glass, the cam
era and the photographer, altogether
cannot show off man a. he will un-
awares do it himself.
1t has now been long time since
we have called upon our subscriber s
for money. In looking over our book
we find many whose subscriptions have
long been due. Our rule, like that of
other papers, is to require advance
payment, but for various reasons we
have given time to many. We cheer
fully accommodate those who need
time, but there are many who can as
well pay now as ever, and they shonld
remember that these small sums consti-
