Lorenzo ID. Lively
COMES Down OUT OF A CHERRY TREE
In SOMETHING OF A HURRY !

One day last week, our old friend Lo-
renzo D. Lively, father of our popular
Sheriff, was assisting some of his folks in
gathering cherries on his farm, some four
miles above town, when, in climbing up
on a ladder, round gave way. He
jumped to save himself-being several
feet up the ladder-but unfortunately
alighted upon his back, breaking one of
his ribs, and bruising himself up consid-
erably. DR.. Henry, of Berlin was called
and rendered the necessary medical aid.
In company with the Sheriff we paid
visit to the home of Mr.. Lively on Fri
day evening. We expected to find the
old gentleman prostrated, but when we
entered the pleasant home, found him up,
and able to move about the house care
fully. We had very pleasant evening
at the Lively homestead. The "old folks"
are seemingly as young as any of us yet,
and have that glorious, old-fashioned
faculty of making visitors feel perfectly
at home. The Lively's are pleasantly
with an excellent farm, and
their family all grown up and doing for

DEATH OF NELSON KELLEY.
After a Hard Days Work He Takes
Long Rest!

Nelson Kelley, a large, powerfully
| built colored man, well known in this
community, died very unexpectedly last
| Saturday night or Sunday morniug. He
had been working in Rufs Tannery all
day, and was up town until after nine
o'clock at night. Going home he retired
to a small building, some ten by twelve
feet, in the yard of his residence, where
he has been in the habit of sleeping in
warm weather. His family did not call
for him at breakfast time, preferring to let
him rest. AS he did not come in at din
ner time member of the family went to
call him, but could get no response. The
door of the shanty was then forced open,
and he was found lying upon the small
bed OF lounge, dead. He had evidently
been dead some hours, as the body was
cold when found.
He had complained for long time of
heart trouble, and there could not be any
doubt that the immediate cause of his
death was heart disease. Mr.. Kelley was
giant in physical structure, perhaps one
of the strongest men in the county. He
was about 55 years of age. He was
courteous, pleasant gentleman in his con-
duct toward others, and was universally
esteemed. His wife died some three years
ago. They had four children, two boys
Elmer and Charles-survive him. Both
are young men. Mr.. Kelley came to Jack
son in 1854, from Virginia. He had four
brothers Abraham, Milton, Harvey and
William. All these are dead but Milton.
There was a post mortem examination,
which developed nothing more than was
known before. The remains was buried
on Monday, funeral by A. w. Long. The
G. A. r. Post, of which deceased was a
attended the funeral, also the
Colored Odd Fellows Lodge, of this place.
A long line of vehicles followed the
hearse to the cemetery.
We can remember Nelse Kelley for a |
generation, ever since he used to "fll |
gum" at Trago's brickyard-where the |
residences of J. G. Cahoon, W. H. Horton |
md S. M. Lake now Standard he al
ways had the bearing of big-hearted, |
noble fellow. 1t will be lonesome with
out Nelse. He was good citizen.

The Girl Graduate !
J. III. NJ.


Softly her wealth loveiness, the bright lamps
glimmering shine,
Brightly round the graceful arches the floral trib
utes twine;
Floating through the of beauty, with classic
phrase inwrought
Come the traces of cultured mind-a wealth of no.
BILE thought;
The sweet face of the School-Girl, wreathed about
with peerless light,
Bears to a pleasing story :-"She graduates to-
night -
Loudly from the solemn tower calls the old familiar
bell,
sweetly by the sacred chancel the joyful tidipgs
swell;
The show Fashions vanities, the gems of bright
array,
The timid step, the sparkling eyes, proclaim the
wedding day
Before the sacred altar, wreathed in mellow light
The soft voice makes the solemn vow-she graduates
tonight.
Before happy freside, bathed in the golden glow,
While from the ruddy embers the streams of beauty
mother gazes longingly into those staring eyes
That search for holy joys not found beneath
the skies.
Then lifts the voice in praise to Him who doeth all
things right
Learned in this boundless mercy-she graduates to-
night.
Slowly, sadly, through the valley, long and gloomy
train
Bears the loneliness of mortal grief the sting of
mortal pain
Down beside the yawning sepulchre poor heart,
fainting, falls,
And to the Ruler of the Storm in tender pleading
calls:
Beyond the limit of her grief there shines holy
light
The Teacher has advanced her grade-she graduates
tonight.
The merry heart of long ago hath seen sadder day
The tresses filed with golden light brightly
streaked with gray;
Like the years youthful pleasure both flower and
friend are gone,
And with the ruthless stream of time her bark is
rushing
God, who protects the widow by the power of his
might,
Hath taught her well in sorrows schoo-she gradu
ates tonight.
The flowers of the Spring shall fade beneath the
burning sum-
Yet refreshing dews shall again. before the day
is done
Across the glory of the the hiding cloud may |
roll,
And grief with overwhelming touch, may crush the
gentle soul
But the Al-wise Teacher stoops to hear the Sorrow
Glass recite,
And in His great academy she graduates tonight.
The gathering shadows seem to steal the |
School Room floor,
The flowers and birds of other years make glad the
earth no more;
Life's burdens all thrown aside, before the gilt
tering ray
Which plants within the weary soul the light of |
Perfect Day;
The angels crown her with a wealth of jewels pure
and bright
Lie's long and weary school is done-she graduates
tonight.

Montana is brought before congress.

safely democratic, winch Dakota is not

But why don't our democratic brethren
