IHE exhaustion Of the South its speedy
collapse was perfectly clear to any intelll-
gent soldier as early as August, 1861 And
yet. this was the time when the Democratic
nominee for Governor had the faulty to
gravely ask the American people 10 make
peace ut any price, 50 slavery couldbc saved.
1t is the spirit Of caste and class, the tyr
amy OF aristCcracy that curses with its
blight the masses of the people in England,
in Germany and in Russia, but il is totally
out of place in America, and the fact that
this false philosophy of Republican institu-
tians has 50 far tainted Mr. Phelps nature

ton 10y those who wonder why Vermont
should refuse Phelps for Farnham The
simple reason is that Mr. Phelps is
@actrtiy and h1aCStlg out of all sympathy
with the people of his State in those in
spring memories Of war and succeeding
blessed victories of peace that still come
home kecnly To the business and the
bOsoms' of her sons. We observe that
the Democratic speakers desire to know
why if Mr.. Phelps presided with dignity
and grace at the Bennington centennial
we should not vote for him for Governor
We answer that to preside at Il centennial
banquet TO shine at Bar supper, to correct
and purify the budding taste Of provincial
art gallery is good work and worthy work,
but it involves no responsible opportunity to

ment, past and present, of Vermont The
election of Mr.. Phelps would imply that
the lapse of years had either brought him
into full political sympathy with his State
or had sunk his State to IL level with his
old opinions. Vermont has not walked
backward: nor has Mr.. Phelps, save in the
matter of his financial opinions. made step
forward since the war. That is why Yer

Obituary-Mary Burks.

In Lancaster, April 8, 1880, Mrs. Mary Burks, in
her 10th year.
The deceased was a native of Wythe Co.,
Virginia. Her family name was Miller. She
married Richard Raines in Virginia and in
1888 they came to Indiana. They remained
there one year and in 1891 came to Lancas-
ter. Mr.. Ranes was carpenter and assist
ed in the erection of nearly all of the build
ings put up in Lancaster prior TO 1910, which
year he cameto his death by injuries received
from falling from the ROOF of the sma II no
tel Il ding then standing on the corner now
occupied by the building containing Howe
& Baxter's store and the HERALD office.
AT his death the widow had the care of a
family of three small hiIdren. They owned
the quarter block ex tending from the alley
above Nathan, Schreiner & Co.'s store to
the next street east, occupied only by small
cottage home, but the widow had TO live by
her handiwork. Some years thereafter she
married S. E Burks. Three children were
born to them and the care of the family again
fell upon the mother. Her oldest son, Will
liam Raines, at an early age took upon him.
self the support of the family and with a
protection like that of a father the children
grew to be useful and respected men and
women. The mother has always remained in
his care. Her son John Raines was among
the first soldiers in the war. and was dis
charged on account of wounds He resides in
Montgomery, Ala, in which State for more
than ten years he has been clerk and deputy
in the Internal Rev enue office. The next
living member of the family in age is Mrs.
Mary L. Pollock, wife of Edward Pollock.
The next Albert S. Burks is profitably en-
gagged in business at Leadville, Colorado. The
next and youngest living is Mrs. Laura Hess,
wife of w. NJ. Hess. who for eight years was
Auditor of Hendricks county, Indiana. Such
is the situation of family of children nursed
by widowed mother through pioneer life
and with only her hands to help.
Five or six weeks ago, keeping
house for her son William on his
farm in North Lancaster, her health began to
decline, without apparent disease more than
cold and sore throat. She became more
and more reduced until two days before her
death she was brought to the house of
Edward Pollock and at the time named
passed away as if falling to sleep.
She was buried Monday afternoon, the
religious services being impressvely con-
Quoted by the Rev. G. Cook of whose church
she was member. He was assisted by Rev.
S. w. Eaton. The deceased was probably
longer an inhabitant of the town of Lancaster
than any other person now living.

obituary-warren Hannum.
In memory Of an old and respected citizen.

Ia memory Of an old and respected citizen
Mr.. Warren Hsnnum. sr,, died at his resi-
in Lancaster on the l4th alt. having very
nearly completed his SD year aud with a
residence in Grant county Of about A years,
settling in the town of Jams stown in the
year 1885.
Mr.. II. was born ia the state of Massachu-
sets, and there he attained his manhood In
very early life he served short term as
soldier in the war Of 1912. After which he
became pioneer in the early settlement of
western New York-settling in the Genesee
valley, where he opened up and cultivated a
farm for about twenty years.
At length longing for the broad prairies
Of the West made that the subject of his
dreams, and induced him to dispose of bis
Genesee homestead, to locate in southern
Grant county
When the writer first made his aequaint-
ance, some SO years ago, he was regarded as
among the largest and most successful farm
ers of southwestern Wisconsin, in which call
ing he acquired wealth and independence
in life, rarely attained by the average farmer
of his day.
While Mr.. Hannum always manifested a
deep interest In local, state and national af-
fairs he had no aspirations for public notori-
ETY.; esteeming the quiet of home far above
the flattering phantoms Of political life and
strife.
In the ordinary acceptation of the phrase, Mr.
Hannum made no profession of religion, yet
he was man of moral qualities, and held in
esteem professors of religion who nodded
their lives in consistency Herewith. His
own religion seemed to consist of honesty,
industry and economy; while he cultivated
but little charity for the protllgate, the idle
or the vicious. He was stern in his nature,
which with his manly qualities, made him
quite influential in the early molding of soci~
ETY., and secured TO him the respect of all
good citizens who became fully acquainted
with him.
Mr.. H. leaves widow but a few years his
junior; and large family Of children, grand
and, great grand, to mourn the departure of
their patriarchal head.

Egypt's Royal Wine.

BIZ WILD Bird.
Land Of Pyramids so ancient,
Land Of wonders crowned with Time,
Sculptured statues, lofty sphinxes,
ChIseled stone with tales sublime.
Land Of palm groves, green and waving
Land Of golden harvest, vast
Watered from the southern fountains
Through the Nile gate flowing past
See the clusters rich and purple
As the robes the monarchs wear,
While they shed delicious odors
On the pure and balmy air.
Who is this with step so stately?
It's the butler Of the king.
Sweetest grapes that ripened lately
To the roral board to bring.
Ssethe silver basket filing
With the fragrant fruit so sweet,
Like rich treasures Of the casket,
For the lip of Beauty meet.
Now he bears it to the palace
Where the crowned monarch rests,
Waiting for his cup Of solace,
There to quaff il with bis guests.
And beneath those silken curtains
Looped with bands of shining gold,
Sits the Pharaoh Of Egypt,
Whose great glory has been told.
Now the butler maketh ready
For the noble king to sup;
And with skillkul hands and ready
Presses sweet grapes DER the cup.
While the shining goblets filing,
Filling to the jeweled rim,
And the wise king quaffs it smiling;
. There is health and JOY for him.
Not from watts, strong and fermenting,
Not from foul worms of the still
But with red wine, sweet, refreshing,
Pharaoh's golden cup must fill
From those floors of polished marble,
From those walls Of chiseled stone
Like the perfume of the roses
From the jeweled monarchs throne,
Comes temperance record, singing,
OF the clusters of the vine;
Down through all the ages ringing,
Songs of Egypt's Royal Wine.
