IA worthy tribute to most worthy
woman. The choir sang with beauti-
full and solemn effect the plaintiye hymn,
Thy will be done" The attendance
was very large one to pay the last
tribute to a pure and gentle woman
whose life had been cut short in the
eve of usefulness. The remains were
placed in a beautiful casket. and the
beautiful, pale, marble face looked as
peaceful and free from pain a. though
she slept soon to wake TO cheer those
who loved her by her winning words
and ways. Many heart is sad to-day
that knew this estimable lady There
were about her those qualities Of mind
and disposition that always won for
their posseSsor the confidence and
esteem of acquaintadces and friends.
She leaves a husband and eight children
and warm friends to mourn her depart

Bile. while her children are passing
through the darkest day of all their
lives. Nav n brighter day dawn for
them. while still the memory of her is
kept ever green in the hearts that loved
her. She has been q great sufferer for
many years, still her many noble acts

to carry the posts from place to place
and set them in the most convenient

THE store of Hunt & jackson. at
Potosi, was burglarized on Sunday night
by unknown parties. The work done
bears evidence of practical hands and
refutes the theory that any tryos had an
interest in cracking the crib" The
safe in the store was blown open with
powder, by the thieves, and $40 in
money with watches, revolvers and
other articles taken. The total amount
of loss by the raid win probably foot up.
it is said nearly 800. No trace or clue
to the skillful operators has been found.
and in all probability they viii get safely
away with their plumber. Many per-
sons were at first thought, inclined to
believe the job to have been done by the
same gang who have made themselves
uncomfortably felt in Iowa and LaFay-
cite counties and more recently at Hazel
Green. This theory Is disputed by the
fact that the present job shows skillful
MANIPULATION whereas the Hazel Green
affair was quite the reverse. If i is the
work of an organized gang travelling
from place to place other towns are
likely TO be visited. Certainly it win do
no harm to keep careful lookout for
all suspicious characters.

IN his sermon on last Sunday morn

In his sermon on last Sunday morn
ing Rev. Mr.. Eaton took occasion to
note the new era, with corresponding
growth, which had opened up to Lam
easter since the advent OF the railroad.
In connection Herewith he urged upon
his hearers the necessity of identifying
and adjoining their grounds and streets
by means of flowers and shrubbery to
the end that the esthetic might not be
buried out of sight by the severely prac-
teal. The discourse was opportune.
While Lancaster can point with pride
to many streets shaded by beautiful
naples or graceful elms, still there is a
large field for further advancement in
that particular. The city has for years
been known as the most beautiful in the
southwestern portion of the state and
there is no good reason why it should
not continue to hold that distinctive
title.
