Mrs Kurtz was lady esteemed, rcsPec-
ted and as friend valued by all who were
fortunate enough to know her. The Luth-
eran church Of which she was for many
years an active member will miss her, and
there is much consolation in the fact that
she learned early in life to put her
trust in Him, whom to know Alright is life
everlasting

DoINGs IN EASTERN PESSsvALLEr.-
No season Of tho year is better calculated
to aid ono in forming fair opinion Of the
! fertility Of this section than the months Of
May and June. Nothing yields more
satisfying scene than the broad, well-tilled
acres that fall within the range Of vision
as you stand on the summit Of NiiiAny
Mountain. The whole valley a sward Of
livid green tells silently and yet 50 truth
fully how many days Of anxious toll we're
spent upon those fields, how many weary
hands and feet turned from their autumn's
work, with no assurance but the records Of
the past that their faithful acres would
again respond right royalty to their afdu-
Gus efforts. When nature lAvishes her
blessings so impartially it would be unrea-
sonable TO look for anything but happy
contenimont and minds disposed 70 move
along evenly with the current, regardless
Of the dssensions Of the outside world.
And yet here in this sequestered valley,
safely guarded by stately mountains, the
ominous rumbling OF Internal warfare
that threatens disaster in November next,
is already audible Within the Republican
camp dissatisfaction Is fast coming to view,
and the standard bearer from Franklin
county can Justly feel proud Of the fol-
lowing he will have among these honest
"lords Of creation"
