Resolutions adopted by New
 Hope Sunday School.

To the Superintendent and members of New Hope Sunday school:
 Your committee to whom was rcposed the matter of drafting suitable resolutions res pcctiug the death of Doctor Edward Estes, a member of our school, who departed this life, Nov. 10th 1886, and whose body now rests in New Hope cemetery.
 Doctor Estes was a regular attendent at Snnday school, respectful to his teacher and kind to his conn ades. We have good reasons to believe that his soul is now at rest. In his last days he was cheerful, and often heard singing the sweet songs that he had learned m Sunday school
 Therefore, we recommend the adoption of the following resolutions:
 Resolved, 1st, That we bow with humble sub mission to the Divine will, and say ''let the Lords will be done"
 Resolved, 2nd, That in the death of Doctor Edward Estes, his father and step another have lost an affectionate and dutiful son, hia two sisters and brother, kind and loving brother, New Hope Sunday school one of its devoted members.
 Resolved, 3rd. That we tender to the bereav- ed family, that sympathy and condolence which the afflicted seek, in lifes dark hours, and which the true heart delights to give. Resolved, 4th, That a copy of this report bc furnished the family of the deceased, and that it be recorded in the Sunday school record also a copy furnished the Russellvilie DEMO GRAF. with request 10 publish the same.

 J. w. WELLS. The song service at the Presbyterian church last Sunday night was enjoyed by large audience. It consisted in se- lected songs of familiar and popular use, and solos, and was rich in poetic sentiment. It lacked only in one par ticular. It should have had more voic- es engaged to have given it volume and power. One of the interesting features were the solos by Miss Emma Howell which could not have been surpassed. Miss Emma's voice cannot be excelled in this part of the State, either in its sweet music or in it's culture. At tine conclusion of the service Bro. Mllner expressed his intention to have the ser vice repeated at an early day in more carefully prepared programme.

THE RIGHT KIND OF FELLOW.

 The right kind of fellow is modest and mellow, and generous and brave and benign; His nature's apparent and clear and transparent, like yours gentle read CT, and mine. He has no verbosity, no tongue tortuos- ity, and he never is boastful and proud; He is gentle and quiet and plain in his diet, and never gets mad in crowd. He's grand and majestic, yet meek and domestic, and spends his spare eve nings at home; He's tireless searcher for all kinds of virtue, like the author and proprie- tor of this pome. He don't play the fiddle, part his hair in the middle, nor dress like an American dude; When he comes to town with his wife and his babies he Is never noisy or rude. He lives in frugality and sweet conju- galitv, and wants pie but two times adav; He never eats onions, nor treads on your bunions, nor growls when you ask him to pay; He's wise and he's witty, persevering and gritty, well posted and all that, He's all light and meekness. he's thor ough completeness, because he reads the DEMOCRAT.

 From Mir. James H. Shinn we learn that Esq. Burton and wife of Bayliss township were in town last Wednesday trading. This couple immigrated to Pope county 32 years ago, and have been living in twelve miles of Russell vile ever since. The last visit to town of Esq. Burton's before this was more than three years ago, and 1t was his good wife's first visit in her life. Not much time is uselessly lost on the part of that family.

IN MEMORY

Of little Joe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hamaker, died of croup. The dark angel of death hhs plucked the flower around which clustered tn fondest hopes and most sacred affections. The little vacant chair, tho aching heart, all re . mind us that the darling sleeps in the long embrace of death; he was an affectionate child, the idol of mothcrs heart. He was a rose budded on earth to bloom in heaven. on. how sad each token that reminds us of a word or action of their lost and loved darling. How inconsolable this sorrow, how the bruised hearts will yield to dispair without the com fortiug thought of a blessed reunion in the "swect beyond,n yet how reluctantly do they resign their idol, though gentle voice is soft ly whispering; look up stricken ones, your Joe is only transplanted. Before sin had marree' his purity an unering Father plucked this rare anu tender plant, and has taken him to himself, where the innocent spirit will dwell undimmcd by the sorrow of earth. We should try to meet little Joe in the ''sweet by and by"
 Darling, thou vast mild and lovely,
 Gentle As the summerDrcezc,
 Pleasant as the air of evening
 When 1t floats among the trees.

Slack Wolf

Old Black Leprosy, is disease which is considered lncurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of SwIFT's SPEcIFIc--now known all over the world as $. $. s. Mrs. Bai ley, of West Somerville, Mass, near Boston, was attacked several years ago with this hideous black erup- tion, and was treated by the best medical talent, who could only say that the disease was species of LEPRosY and consequently incurable. It is impossible to describe her suf ferings. Her body from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet was q mass of decay, the flesh rot ting of and leaving great cavities. Her fingers festered and several nails dropped of at one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful Liberation, and for years she did not leave her bed. Her weight was reduced from l25 to 60 lbs. Some faint idea of her condition can be gleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmo line or ointment were used per week in dressing her sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their de- feat by this Black Wolf, and com mended the sufferer to her all wise Creator.
 Her husband hearing wonderful reports of Swift's Specific (S. ,. s. ) prevailed on her to try it as a last resort. She began its use under pro test, but soon found that her system was being relieved of the poison, as the sores assumed red and healthy color, as though the blood was be coming pure and active. Mrs. Bai- ley continued the s. s. ,. until last February; every sore was healed; she discarded chair and crutches and was for the first time in 2 years we'll woman. Her husband, Mir c. A. Bailey, is in business at I'll Blackstone Street, Boston, and will take pleasure in giving the details o this wonderful cure. send to us fol Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
