There are five places now in our town. we are
told,
Mhere the water of death" is legally sold:
Where grown men and boys. for a considera-
ton,
May take the sure steps to decentralization.
For II is according to physical laws,
mat as the effect is, so is the cause:
Ii eHects are injurious, the cause must he evil
anu we justly conclude that it is of the devil
DO men e'er grow better by drinking strong
drink?
or wiser, or richer? Now only just think
Does drinking improve a mans manners mr.
mind?
Does 1t make him more thoughtful, more
civil, and kind?
Nay wine is mocker," strong drink fires
the brain,
ana thereby both reason and conscience are
Slain
80 with nothing to check him, with naught
to restrain,
The drunkard goes on to destruction amain.
And not only so. but he troubles his friends.
AS they see how his time and his money he
spends;
For he robs his near kindred as well as him
self,
While he adds to the rumseller's ill-gotten
pelf
o that husbands and fathers, brothers and
sons,
Who cherish love for these liquor saloons,
| Would only consider their ways, and be wise
And forever abandon these sources of vice.
o, the evils ofdrinking! The Lord only know
The poverty, wretchedness, numberless woes
That are caused by the traffic in wine an,
strong drink,
But myriads to misery constantly sink.

If disease has entered the system
the only way to drive it out is purify
and enrich the blood. To this end,
as is acknowledged by all medical
men, nothing is better adapted than
iron. The fault hitherto has been
that iron could not be so prepared as
to be absolutely harmless to the teeth.
This difficulty has been overcome by
the Brown Chemical Company of
Baltimore, Md, who offer their
Browns Iron Bitters as a faultIess
iron preparation a positive cure for
dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney troub-

Death of Samuel LaWtOn.

1t is with feelings of more than Or
binary regret that we chronicle the
death of Samuel Lawton, which &C.
Cured Sunday morning. Though
deceased had been confined to his
room for more than a year and most
OF that time to his bed, it was hoped
that he might finally recover, and
the announcement of his death caused
universal sorrow and regret in the
community.
Deceased was born in Philadelphia,
March I'd, 1882. He was married tC
Miss Margaret Lees, at Media. Della
ware county, Pa, from which union
eleven children were born, all of
whom are now living, three of whom
are married and reside in and near
Oakland. The youngest child is not
quite one year old.
Deceased was one of our best citi-
zens, being man of strict integrity,
liberal, genial, always ready to con-
tribute for good purposes, and though
not member of church, he gave
more to the cause of christianity than
many church members of equal abil-
ity. He had lived such life that i;
was easy for him in his long sick ness
to make his peace with his God, and
he died in the ullhope of a glorious
|
resurrection. The funeral services
Tuesday, were conducted by Revs
Ison and Davis, and was attended by
Alta Lodge K. of H., of Oakland. OF
which society he was an honored
member, and by a very large con.
course of sorrOWing relatives and
friends.
His languishing head is at rest,
His thinking and aching are DER;
His quiet, immovable breast
Is heaved by aff1iction no more.
Deceased was also member OF
the Masonic Fraternity, of the
knights of Pythias and an Ancient
Odd-Fellow. His family will receive
$4,000 from the knights of Honor and
smaller amount from the knights
of Pythias.
Deceased came to Oakland in 1869,
and took charge of the Oakland
Wooden Mills, and has ably and &C.
ceptably conducted the business to
the time of his death. The business
will be continued under the manage
ment of Mrs. LaWton, Samuel Lees,
her brother, and Samuel Lawton, her
son.
