les Gone.

1ritten by Rev. E. SPRINGER on tho death
Of his grandfather, A. A. GAS COCK
No more we'll hear his feeble step,
No more we'll SEQ his tottering frame,
Until our souls from earth are swept,
Till we reach heaven our tended aim.
OFT we have knelt In family prayer
Around the we'll known elIfh 1T home;
Oit we've eeen him bowing therei
But no more for he is gone.
But tho poet sveetiy sinrs;
"We shall meet each other tbere,n
Then we'll touch the golden strings
OF the angel: heavenly Tyre.
Blessed be the Lord that gives his love
To those that put their trust in hira,
For with tnis gift Wa re loved above,
Where We His praises loud shall sing.
Then peace, Oh, children, do not weep;
We know neg In that goodly land,
And in Christi s bosom be doth sleep;
Hes numbered with that heavenly band.
May wo nj that blessed world arrive,
And fnd fuil'proOf that he is there
Where Christ through all oar soul shall
live,
Without one gloomy doubt as fear.

High Point. Noy Is the time for Miller
county to well oSifder her interests and
comrience with a gravel road to tap the

the merchant or commegcialman.
TAg time is not fag ID the future when
some raIlrosd company Will comprehend the
necessity Of ra.t route from Jefferson City
to Little Rock, Ark, and will surely build Il

built, viii of necessity, pass through Iilller
county this being the nearest and most prsc-
tical route to DO paying; wood, water, miner
al and the imhcnse trade and travel from
