WROUGHT IRON,

WROUGHT IKON, Using the best material and workmanship throughout that can be had under the person. al supervision of Mir J. F. Pease, who has made the subject a study. As result he has pro- duced furnace perfect in every detail, abso- lutely GAS TIGHT (and by the addition of the STEAM B0ILER) capable of producing 30 to 50 per cent more heat for the amount of coal consumed than any heating apparatus in the market.
 This is not idle talk but facts, which can be proven by those in use. The heating surfaces are all upright, which prevents the accumula- ton of soot and allows the furnace to heat as well late in the winter as when first started a good point. The boiler is inside the dome of the furnace, does not detract from the heat ing capacity of the furnace, while it enables distant rooms to be warmed which could be done by no other method. In fact it is pro nounced by all who have seen or used it to be A Perfect Working Apparatus. Information given and estimates furnished by A. L. BROWN & SON,

5. Colds instructive and interesting lecture on "New Orleans and the Expo sition. He spoke for over an hour without notes and all would gladly have listened for another hour. Mir Gold is keen observer, remembers what he sees and has the rare faculty of relating it in an entertaining manner He is the only person we have heard give an intel igent, connected and comprehensive ac- count of what they saw at the exposi- tion. Most people when asked "What did you see at the exposition?" will re- ply, I've saw everything" and that's about all the information you can get from them, for, unlike MT Gold, they cannot describe what they saw.
 -G. B. Gardner deserves much credit for his efforts to awaken Canaanites to the importance of providing means of extinguishing fires. In response to his urgent invitation number of our vil- lagers assembled for consultation at Mir Gardner's house last Saturday evening. Messrs A. T. Roraback, G. P. Strong and G. B. Gardner were appointed Q committee to ascertain the prices of hose, hose carriage, hook and ladder outfit and other appliances needed to extinguish fire; also to ascertain the nodus operaadi of forming fire com pany or hose company. The meeting adjourned until next Friday evening, at MT Gardner's, at which time the com mittee will report. It is hoped there will be 8 large attendance and that suit able measures will be adopted to pro- tect our village from fire.

Killing Fish With Dynamite.

Editor Democrat Tribune: L wish
to state through the columns of
your paper the feelings of the peo-
pie of Ward 2, in regard to visiting
and other sportsmen using dynamite
in our fishing streams, Dorchate and
Bodcau. IF this is kept up it will
destroy all the fish, because it kills
the minnows and destroys the eggs.
1t is almost impossible to catch
mess of fish with hook and line, and
to see the dead fish floating around,
is bound to make our citizens see
the harm the dynamite does, and
feel alarm for the future of our fish
ing streams. We feel that it is
trespassing on our rights, and hope
the good people of the country wi !
carefully and impartially consider
the matter. We extend a cordial
welcome to those who come with
their hooks and lines, as we do
But we ask them kindly not to ruin
our fishing grounds with dynamite,
lest they create an i'll and revenge
full spirit among our people.
Will the Bellevue and Homer pa
pers please copy this, and oblige,
Respectfully,
CITIZEN OF WARD 2.

MoALIrY.- Morality is not religion,
but it is the best soil on which re-
ligion grows. He who lives an hon
est, sincere, honorable life, and has
strong perceptions of moral right and
moral wrong, may not have reached
the highest stages of spirituality; he
may know only the baptism of John;
he may aim as yet at nothing higher
than doing his duty well, accusing
no man falsely, being content with
his wages" giving one coat out of
two to the poor; and yet that man,
with scanty theology and small spirit
ual experience, may be real "disci-
pie" in the school OF Christ, and one
Of the children of the Highest.
Nay, it is the want of this prepare
ton which SO often makes religion a
sickly plant in the soul. Men begin
with abundance of spiritual knowl-
edge; they understand well the
scheme of salvation" they talk OF
religious privilege, and have much
religious liberty; they despise the
formal spirit and the legal spirit
But il the foundation has not been
laid deep in a perception of the eter-
nal difference between right and
wrong, the superstructure will be but
fiimsy.-ReU. p. W. Robertson.

Obituary of Mrs. G. A. Furniss.
'om N. o. Christian Advocate

Il Aotu ~ ". CAIlStltbH AuVOcdIe.l
Mrs. CAROLINE A. FURNISS tnee Har.
gisl was born June IL, 1929; was married to
Samuel M. Furniss, May ID, 1850, and departed
this life May H. 1885,
Sister Furnis was a very devout member of
the Missionary Baptist Church. She was truly
christian and think one of the most beauti-
full characters in all her christian graces ever
knew. She seemed to do everything from q
sense OF christian duty. The Bible to her was
very precious book, and she was a faithful
attendant on the preaching of the word of
God She was ever friend to her pastor and
an earnest servant of God. For many wears
before her death, she was cut off from the
associations of her own church and pastor but
made herself pleasant and agreeable with the
Methodist Church. and proved to be as worthy
and Jealous in the work of the same as though
it were her own church.
Her house was ever cordial home for the
Methodist pastor. The family prayer, morning
and night was ever love feast in her home
when the preacher came round. Ioften recall
with fondest memories, the many pleasant
calls on this precious christian mother during
my stay on the Red River Circuit But she is
no more. Her beautiful home on the banks OF
the Red River will look dreary, though bright
with pleasant father and noble daughter
| and sons, yet dreary, because the mother is
gone! Sister Furniss was the mother of eight
children, three of whom went on before to
wait her coming.
May God bless her heart.stricken family
and save them.

Ii is only when all the rest Of our
hannah nature is Gained that the spirit
comes forth in full energy; all the
rest tires, the spirit never tires
Humbleness, awe, alteration, love,
these have in them no WEAKNESS; so
that when this frame shall be dissolv-
ed into the dust of the earth, and
the mind, which is merely fitted for
this time-world, learning by expert
ence, shall have been superseded,
then, in the opening out of an endless
career OF love, the spirit viii enter
upon that sabbath of which all
earthly sabbaths are but the shadow
the sabbath of eternity, the immor-
tai rest of its Fathers home.

If We Knew.

If we knew the woes and heartaches
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the wormwood,
Ii our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For the time that ne'er can be?
Would we wait in such impatience
For our ships to come from sea
Let us gather up the sunboams
Lying all along our path,
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chat.
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day;
With the patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

A Winter Sunset.

The day hath been long and gloomy,
Weary with mist and rain,
A day for the heart to brood on
Sorrow and loss and pain;
But there came with the light of evening
A wind that swept away
All the shadow of darkness
Out of the winter day.
Is thy life, o pilgrim, weary,
Yelled from the cheering light?
Perhaps for thee is the promise
Of joy with the waning light.
Fairer than MONDAY splendor,
Richer than beams of stars,
The lustrous glory of sunset
May burn through golden bars.
