Without moments warning, q
tragic death occurred here Monday
lCNcuiuS. MISS Noly NnilolIs q lduS
of Is, and sister to Mrs. Hastings, who
has just moved into part Of the Os-
land house, opposite the stone church,
met the destroyer all alone, aud that
too, when relatives and friends were
within easy call. Brother Patterson,
living in the same house, Informs us
thus; Both families were accustomed
to pass back and forth in each others
rooms. During the evening Mary
was missed but her sister naturally
supposed she had stepped into his
room. Jasper Powell, a cousin, was
spending the evening, and when lie
went for his horse found it loose. This
caused some stir, during which, Miss
c. was not found present as supposed,
and an immediate search was COM
menceG. Her sister found her in an
clubhouse but had to call assistance to
open the door, Bro. p. was instantly
at hand and lost no time in unhinglng
the door, and examining the pulse
but life was gone. It seems that for
80 years this unfortunate lady had
been afflicted with spasms, and I'M
donbtedly by one of these she came t,
this tragic death. y.

work as I see some plOughing on Mon

them but if / can't make living by
working on reasonably pleasant days
why the county will have to keep me.
Now, brother farmers, I have one
question to put to you. Which is the
better plan, to rip and tear around in
all kinds of weather that you may
hurry and make your pile and then
about the time you have accomplished
your end to lie down and die from ex-
posture and overwOrk aud leave your
children to quarrel over or 70 take a
little better care of yourselves; be a
few years longer !.accumulating COM
petence and then with unimpaired
health to be able to sit down and en-
Joy it unto a good old age while your
children rise up and call you blessed.
