SUDDEN DEATH.-The report on

and regret in the town and county,

feeling well. He first took sick with
malaria, which turned into typhoid fe-

Dear HERALD Our notes have
been absent from your columns for
the last three weeks. One of our ex-
cuses for not writing is, that we had
nothing of importance to write, and
another, that we were crowded with
work, and lastly, because you have
such brilliant Contributors such a
large corps of profound thinkers and
writers, that we almost feel abashed
at our meager and hastily constructed
notes placed alongside of theirs. But
whether we write or not, be assured
that you are cordially received by all
that we know Of in this village. and
we desire your presence every Satur-
day morning just as soon as you can
reach US, for you all like ship
of the sea, you bring us the luxuries
in the way of news from foreign lands,
and from the country around US.
The HarmonyS. s. picnic passed off
quietly.
The s. s. at Falling Waters. we are
glad to learn, is still in progress. Supt.
Smalts resigned, at this place.
Rev. S. Long preached here last
Sunday, quite lengthy discourse.
We are glad to know that our trus-
tees have procured a aCOrthy teacher
at this place, in the person of Miss
Maggie A. Mendenhall of your city.
She is succeeding admirably well, so
far, and we have reason to believe that
she will conduct the school during the
session to the satisfaction of all that
are interested in the cause Of education.
A little child of Mr.. Cyrus Kersh-

Mr.. John Ripple, the worthy con-
stable was around last week endeavOr-
ing to collect taxes of those parties
who refused to work on the public

say that they will not pay the extra
tax of So per year, or work the road 2
days, in addition to the regular tax of
10 cents on the S1OO-unless they are
compelled to do so. VEGA.

Brethren :-Once more we are called
to gether in sorrow at the death of our
beloved brother, DIR. ID. s. Pinwell,
whom God in his wisdom has taken
from our ranks another sad warning
that we are but mortal. While each
meeting should teach us to aim high
in life, let this one especially warn us
that it is not all life to live, not all
of death to die" Let us cherish every
good word our brother uttered in our
midst for we will need his counsel.
He will be mourned in his family
will be missed in his community, will

Honor the dear aged mother. Time
has scattered the snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep burrows on her
cheeks, but is she not sweet and BEAU
tiful now? The lips are thin and
shrunken, but those are the lips when
have kissed many hot tear from the
childish cheeks and they are the sweet
est lips In the world. The eye is dim,
yet it glows with the soft radiance OF
holy love which can never fade. All,
YES, she is dear old mother! The
sands of her life have nearly run out;
but feeble as she is, she will go further
and reach down lower for you than
any other upon earth. You cannot
walk into midnigh. where she cannot
see YOU; you cannot enter prison
whose bars will keep her out; you cam
not mount a scafiiold too high for her to
reach, that she may kiss and bless you
in evidence of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and for
sake you, when it leaves you to die by
the wayside unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms and carry you home and tell you
of all your virtues until you almost for
get that your soul is disfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer her de-
clining years with holy devotion.
