by decided advance in prices. Opening

in this advance, but n. Y. Central gained / (

Louisville and Nashville did not sell in the
afternoon below the closing prices last even

week a strip off of the south side OF
his park to be used for road pur-

his wish by his works. The coudcil

Obituary.

ODttuurys
Died, on the morning of the 9th of
May, 1885, Jennie D., infant
daughter of John NJ. and Jennie
Menefee, aged two years.
Though these devoted parents have
been married seventeen years and
have been blessed with "a family of
six children, this is the first time that
Death has stepped upon their hearth
stone. But alas! he could no longer
stay away. 1t is not always May
sooner or later winter must come
with his chilling breath to blast the
tender plants that but a short while
ago frightened our hearts and faces
with their loneliness. Viewed from
the earth side how cruel is Death!
The hearts of prophets and apostles,
yea, even that of our Savior, were
made to ache while standing over the
bodies and graves of those whom
Death had robbed of life. 1t is not
wrong either to weep or lament.
Fortunate are we if such fiery trials
soften our hearts, teaching us that
here we have no abiding city. I'm
fortunate only are we when we sor.
row in despair, having no hope of
meeting these pure spirits in the
'Home of the Soul" What would
heaven be to us without the children?
Dreary is the earth when our arms
are emptied of their dear forms.
Their sweet faces are missed from
our circle and their childish prattle is
hushed in death. A little while and
you do not see them; but only for a
little while. Tho cold clay lips of
the grave cannot always imprison
their dear bodies and nothing will
prevent the union of spirit and body
on the morning of that resurrection
day when redemption shall have been
completed through u Lord Jesus
Christ. How the preciousness of
heaven increases as we think Of meet
ing our dear dead, and of the loving
embraces that will follow. Let us
bow in resignation to Him who is the
author not only of life but of death.
Longfellow has well said:
There is no flock, however watched or tended,
But one dead lamb is there /!
There is no Preside. howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair!
The air is full Of farewells to the dying,
And MORNINGS for the dead
The heart of Rachel, for her children crying,
VIII not be comforted!
Let us be patient These severe afHictions
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedicti0ns
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but diEii,y through the mist and vapors
Amid these earthly damps
What seem to us but sad. funeral tapers
May be heavens distant lamps.
There is no Death! What seems so is transition
This life Of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian.
whose portal We call Death.
She is not dead-the child of our affection
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor care ant
protection.
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great c~loister's stiffness and seciusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation. safe from sins pollution
She lives, whom we call dead.
We thank Thee, oh Father, fol
such thoughts, for they rob even th'
: grave of it's terrors. j. w. H.

He was Mad.

He raj Mad.
On u way to Wichita last week
we took lunch at Newton, Kansas.
We noticed as we ate ca that a dog
stole a pie from the counter. A few
moments afterwards we heard the
following conversation on the street:
"Smith, the restaurant man, is ter
rible mad. His dog ate n of his
pies a little while ago."
"Was he very mad?'
81 should SMILE"
"Was he mad at the loss of only
one pie?"
"No; he did moi care about the
pie"

OF Baptism" From a Holiness
Standpoint.

Hook nor GaIlaher neith-
er one understand philosophy, much
less theology Or science of animate
things. l am truly ashamed of them.
Striving for the top, surrounded with
millions upon billions of little ibres
of worldly electricity, that are crowd
ing out the very life of their soul,
fastening them on to an untimely
death, each one is giving the other the
lie, and both in great danger of hell
fire-even now being consumed in her
mighty flame.
Most truly, M. N. SHOW.
And so on and so on, nigh unto a
thousand pages.

MEXICO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Order Of Examinations and Closing
Exercises.

Written examinations on the fourth
quarter work will be closed this week.
Next week, on Monday and Tues
day, public examinations will be con-
Quoted in the high school. Wednes-
day and Thursday of the same week,
examinations and other exercises for
the entertainment of patrons and
friends, will be held in the other de-
partments.
At the Opera House, on Thursday
night, will be given the annual exhi-
bition of the Union Literary Society.
The price of admission has been
placed within the reach of all: Re
served seats, 35 cents; general adj
mission, Is, Is and 10 cents.
Remember that the proceeds of
this entertainment will be applied to
charging the High School Library,
to which more than $50 worth of val.
liable books have been added during
the past year.
Pupils and teachers are bending
their energies to make this entertain.
ment one of their uery best, and it is
hoped that the good people of Mexico
will interest themselves to the extent
of giving a full house.
Friday morning, the 29th, will be
devoted to promotions and re-classi.
fcation for next year.
At the Opera House, on Friday
night, will be held the graduating
exercises of class 'S5.
The unusual interest manifested BY
the citizens of Mexico, in their public
school, and the liberal support cx'
tended toward it by her Taxpayers
have stimulated all to produce suct
results as will reflect credit.
