Obituary.
DENNIS SMKAD.

1t is with sadness that we chronicle the
death of one of the oldest aud most esteem
ed citizens of Salisbury. Dennis Smead
vas born Feb. 8, 1910, and lied March 9,
1888. All but the first three years of his
life were spent on the farm where he died.
lie was the last of his family; father,
mother, brothers and sisters had all pre-
coded him to the spirit world At the age
OF II he was united in marriage to Cynthia
Maynard with whom he lived little more
than fifty years. and who still survives, to
walk the remainder of earth's pilgrimage
alone As the result of this union, two sons
and three daughters came TO cheer and
bless their home But the youngest son has
long rested beneath the sods of the valley,
and 10y his side the father now sleeps
Those living at the time of their fathers
death were all married and settled within
radius of five miles of home. This was par
tcularly, gratifying to him, for they, togeth-
er with their children, could be with him in
his last illness. He will be missed in the
home circle and in the community in which
he lived, Notwithstanding the last few years
OF his life had been so much darkened by
bodily intirmties, for few men have better
earned Il reputation of honesty, integrity
and fair dealing with all around him. His
children ever found in him n safe counsel
lor and kind father Although a man of
good morals, he had failed in early life to
secure the pearl of great price," which in
later years he very much regretted As
the years crept on, leaving their impress
upon his once strong and energetic frame,
and as day by day, from deafness. he sat
in silence because of the great hush that
had fallen upon the world around him, he
felt deeply the need of strong arm upon
which to le1n, of comfort such rs the world
could not afford and instinctivey he turn
ed to the Bible rs Gods message of love to
fallen man. He perused it with an interest
that they only can do who have sought sat
isfaction in the things of this world and
have utterly failed, rs all must ultimately
who seek for happiness here. But his arm
chair by the firesde is vacant. his Bible
closed, his work all done The record of
his life is with Him who said, Him that
cometh to me will If no wise cast out, and
so to those who remain
Hope with her radiant finger points
To brighter scenes in Heaven" NJ.

The Mahdi may the English beat,
The Moon Eyes may the French defeat :;
But while Geo. Marshall keeps store
High-priced goods will sell no more.
If clock or watch you are in need,
Go to ,Marshall's with all speed;
You'll find him ready his goods to show
And always give you prices low.
In jewelry you'll always find
Something suited to your mind;
A nice watch chain to give your pal,
Or wedding ring for your 'best gall
He has fancy goods and other toys,
TO please the little girls and boys;
a line of books for young and old,
And the cheapest Bibles ever sold.
or violins he has score,
Flutes and harmonicas as many more;
Also jewsharps the boys to please,
And dolls for which the children tease.
In stationery his stock is large,
For which small prices he does charge;
School books, blank ooks,and many more
In great abundance kept in store.
In plated ware large stock you'll find
Always of the richest kind;
His goods are right-his prices low,
He's always proud his goods to show.
All his novelties he cannot name,
Yet he keeps them "just the same;"
Albums, scrap books that are fine,
Pen, ink and pencils, an endless line.
SO when you're ready for 10 buy,
Come right along, and don't be shy;
Walk boldly in, don't stop to knock,
You'll find his store in Upper block.

TO doplete ones purse in tho cause Of
charity is certainly all that could DO
reasonably expected of any one, how
ever charltably inclined they may be,
but TO borrow money and pledge their
credit for the sole purpose of suncorng
their iellow-men IN distress is certainly
charity In n superlative degree.
This is what the Hebrew charitable
organizations OF this city, of which there
are several, have been doing. The late
failure IN the crops aud consequent dull
times have created such daniand upon
these associations that net only have
they exhausted their treasures, but tho
ofiicers pledged their individual credit
IN Their eleemOsAnary endeavOrs. The
jewish ladies', who are ever to the front
in case of this kind, decided several
months ago TO hold 4 grand fair about
the beginning of May to raise money to
relieve the charitable associations OF
their faith and at the Same time pay OF
a debt which burdens their temple.
NOT being able TO make all the neGes-
safy arrangements, they have con-
cludod 70 postpone tho affair until Oc-
tober. In the mean time they have not
been idle, but have been and are
still working like busy bees In the good
cause, aud have already accomplished
what would DO considered "a great deal
