In MemOriam.

Only a short time since we babe
adieu to Miss Docia Tucker, wishing
her health and happiness in her Lou
isiana home. Congratulate ons were
sent her by her Milan friends when
a few months ago she united her
life's destinies at the hymenial altar
to Mr.. S. E. ellis, man worthy of
the bride he had captured. Now the
sad news reaches us that at Biloxi
Springs, Miss, whittier she had gone
in quest of health, she suddenly
mounted the heavenly chariot and
went up higher. The writer had in.
timately known her from childhood.
Pure, gentle, and kind in all ways,
she naturally drew the hearts of 9TH
ers to appreciate the excellence of
pure womanhood. Religion was the
principle that had become interviewer
into all her being. She gave her
heart to Christ when just blushing
into maturity, and her after life prov
ed the wisdom of the choice that she
had made. Milan Baptist church is
poorer now that she has gone; but
with those of her own family and the
"spirits of the just made perfect" in
the "sweet byeand oye,' she is rich
in the blessings of Immortality. May
her grief>stricken relatives meet her
again.
/ feel g. streng immortal hope,
Which bears my mOurntul spirit mp
Beneath ITS mountain load.
Redeemed from death, and grief and pain
i soon shall find my friend again
Within the arms Of God.

All the Year Round.

I call the attention of the public to
the fact that l constantly keep on hand
full supply of all kinds of meats.
During the time | have run butcher
shop in Milan l have spared no pains
or perils to accommodate the public.
In 1878, during the yellow fever, 1
did not leave my post, but was ready
to supply the wants of my customers.
l have staid with the people, winter
and summer, while Others have de-
serted them. Now, as the time of
year has come for me to make money,
| ask my friends to stick as close to
me as | have to them.

CUMBERLAND, MD, May lO.-An
important conference between Chas.
F. Mayer, of the Consolidation coal
company, and committee of miners
belonging to that company was held
at the Queen City hotel this afternoon.
President Mayer told the committee
that he would give his former employ.
es few more days TO make up their
minds whether to accept what the COM
PAW offers, and, ir case of their refus-
ing to go to work, that he resolved to
introduce other labor in a few days.
Mr. Mayer left for Baltimore in the
S D. IN. train, and before leaving was
very reticent about the coference, be-
ing surrounded by a number of news
paper reporters, who were not able to
extract much from him. 1t is thought
tonight that the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor will hold an
other meeting Immediately to take in
to consideration the matter, who will
report in few days their decision. 1t
looks as if there would be a determi-
nation on the part Of the miners to GO
to work in few days rather than see
imported labor brought here.
