Vile Ohio, that I did hollow Ohio for
all that was out, but when went to
hollow for Frederick County, got
severe attack of double amount OF
lorseness in my throat, and if l mis-
take not the fever must have struck him

and family physician, DR.. VIM. +,
Luckett Washington D. c., in regard
to the disease l had Contra cted and the
following is bis prescription, "Do as |

Our Public Schools are moving along
nicely under the management of Pro-
iessou Bell and Manahan. They are
going to give the children Christmas
treat and no doubt but that it will be
enjoyed for it is something new in the
Public School at this place.
Mr.. James F. Arnsperger can again
use his hand that had been so severely
scalded while rendering skunk fat.
There will be Christmas service
held on Christmas Eve at the U. B.

Eta Maud Harbaugh, died on the
twelfth of tins month aged eleven
years,two months and twenty-four days.
Her funeral services were conducted by
Rev. W. l.. Martin Isaiah Gath chap
ter and 6 verse "And we all fade as
leaf" Her disease was dropsy and
had been confined to the house for a
considerable time. If we could, and
had space in your paper we would like
to give your readers an accent of this
very Interesting womanly child; We all
miss he, she had smile for every one
and this makes US wonder why one SO
young and so kind should suffer such
great affection but she bore her long
suffering willingly without u single
nurmur and while she would tire ly-
ing in one position she would say God
would provide way for her" she said,
Heaven was near" and often sang
"Tell it to Jesus and certainly she
had joy in singing this for no one but
Him who knoweth all things knew how
much she suffered, She seemed to
have delight in singing and among
other pieces she sang "Gathering In
the Sheaves'' and to day she is gold
sheaf garnered IN the great store house
of God; she talked much of that beauti
full country to which she has gone.
She was regular in her sabbath school
class as long as health would permit.
! love her will, even more than the
great Vanderbilt; they were simply
play things but she divided them
among her playmates some time ago
knowing that her days were numbered.
She was an only child and her death
is very heavy stroke upon her parents
We have LAID Maudis away but not
forever.
