remember, however, that the great de-
cline i'm value of real estate of your

hard times which caused it. Recollect
that as values decrease and pupils in

not To rely alone on the public funds as

To have the best common school system

Charles, eldest son OF John and Clara
Gentry, and grand son of j. w. and
Mary a. Duke, was born i'm Cromwell,
Ohio county, KY, November 18th, 1864,
and died in Butler county, KY, July
md, 1879.
Charlie was boy Of great promise, n
dutiful son, kind and loving brother.
But not only was he loved by his imme-
diate relatives, but by all who knew
him. But God has seen fit to call him
hence, and We, with his parents and
friends, lament his departure; but while
bowling in humble submission To the
will of our Divine Master, feeling that
He doeth all things well, We have for
our comfort and consolation the blessed
assurance that "he shall rise again"
that "though he be dead, yet shall he
live" There is to be resurrection.
As the sun goes out in darkness and the
last star fades away from the heavens,
an angel from the throne of God will
gather the scattered dust, and reanimate
it with new life and beauty. The body
may die, but the spirit will live on.
You may go to the graveyard and weep
over the tomb, but he whom you seek
is not i'm the grave. The storm may
sweep over the place-desolation may
howl around it-darkness may cover it,
but storm, desolation and darkness, are
alike mheeded. The truth is revealed
to us by Christianity. Thegospel alone
can give us II glimpse into the future
world-show us the design of death,
even in its most terrible manifestations
give us strength to endure its physic-
al sufferings, and open to us a fountain
to cleanse us from our sin. What phil
osophy, science and history could not
do, religion has accomplished. From
the fires of her own nheaven-consecrat
ed alter-she has thrown out brilliant
light, whose divine illuminations have
dispelled the darkness of the grave-dis-
armed death, and established the hopes
of Immortality. There shall he glori-
