McCOMMONS. - Departed this life, Friday
morning, March Goth, 1885, ADA, beloved wife
of Robert McCommous, in the Goth year of her
age
Our dear sister has passed away in the morning
of life. She was sufferer for many months,
with that slow but sure destroyer. consumption.
She bore her sufferngs with resignation, until
the silver cord was oosed when her spirit passed
full. Sister McCommons was Christian woman.
She became member of the Christian church at
Avondale in the summer of 1881 II was our
privilege To witness the burial by baptism and TO
witness again the final burial, on last Lords day,
which ended her earthly career. but in the morn
ing of the resurrection, she will rise in resplend-
ent beauty. AS we viewed the remains as they lay
tears would unbidden start, as we thought the
kind. genial disposition and beautiful character
we had known so well should cease to be. But
the Lord knoweth best. what | do you know
not now, but you shall know hereafter" Sister
McCommons leaves husband, and three small
children to bear the scof and frowns of cold
world, without mothers care To the b. reaved
Of her who was the Joy and comfort of thy life,
by obeying the commandments of our Blessed
Master, that In tho morning of the resurrection
you may be permitted tn take her by the hand,
and walk through endless ages Of eternity, no
more separation; no more tears: eternal hap
plness. May lie who tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb comfort the b arts of those who so
sadly u,ourn.
Farewell dear sister, until we meet again at
that grand reunion.
Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought. the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy. H..

Political Notes

The iiame of ex Governor Hamilton. OF
Maryland, Is mentioned in connection with
the commissionership of agriculture. Presi
dent Cleveland could make no better appoint
ment Our Ex-Governor, besides being Q
practical farmer, is first class business man
and under his management the agricultural
department of the Government might be
made of use to farmers. Gov. Hamilton has
made no application for the place but his
friends should see that his name is properly
presented TO the President.
On Friday last President Cleveland sent
to the Senate the names of Ex-Governor Jas
ID. Porter, OF Tennessee, as Assistant Secre.
tary of State, and ex-Congressman j. d. G.
Atkins, also of Tennessee, as Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. Both nominations were
confirmed and are pronounced to be excel
lent.
Hon. j. F. G. Talbot is thought to have
the lead among the aspiranls for Second
Assistant Postmaster General. He is said ia
have the support of Senator German and the
Maryland Delegation in Congress.
The President sent the names of four i'm.
portant foreign ministers to the Senate on
Monday, and all were promptly confirmed
They were:
Robert M. McLanc, of Maryland, to be
minister to France.
Edward j. Phelps, of Vermont, to be min
lister to Great Britain.
George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, to be minis.
ter to Germany.
Henry r. Jackson, of Georgia, to be minis
ter to Mexico.
On Wednesday President Cleveland ap.
pointed Samuel S. Cox, of New York, as
minister to Turkey, Henry L. Muldrow to be
Assistant Secretary of the Interior and VIM.
A. j. Sparks to be Commissioner of the gen
era land office. The Senate confirmed these
and number of postmasters appointed at
the same time. Turkish gravity, doubtless,
do will relax into a smile at "Sunset" Cox's
jokes.

that his resignation is ready whenever the Sec

here that change will! be made on or about the

The Forty seventh Congress was Repub-
lcan in both houses. In the Forty eighth
Congress the Democrats had control of the
House while the Republicans retained control
of the Senate. The House commended for re-
trenchment, and in spite of the extravaganza
of the Senate, succeeded in keeping the ap-
preparations down to $13O,OOOOOO less than
the total made by the preceding Congress-
With Democratic President the work of re-
form and retrenchment will go on more rapi-
dly than before.
