He was fond of the trade, but. owing to ill health. concluded outdoor exercise would be better for him. As he told the writer once, he in- tended to supply the market with early vegetables this year, we pre- sun he intended farning. On the 21st inst, he was out hunting, and got heavy fall and got very wet and cold He returned home and was seized with cramps, and suffer ed intensely. He said from the first he was dying. and at 3 o'clock, |, on Tuesday January 24th 1SsS he closed hIs eyes in rest. He was buried in the Forrest Guy Cemetery, Wednesday,, J nuarv 25th, thc funeral services being conducted by Rev J. Marshall Dempsy, of the N E Church. John u Parham. familiarity known as Bones" had frequently spoken of jolning some church, but his family being member. of different churches, he never made up his mind whien one to join. This would have been mere form with him, however, for he was true Christian, who feared the Lord God of hosts, and who told his gneved parents, sister and brother that he was going to join the angels. He was ever thoughtful for the rest of his soui and no one ever kuew Bones to do an unkind or selfish act.
 To the family we extend our warmest sympathy, and, feeling that "Bones" has entered the pearly gates, we can but pray that trey may meet him there, and be reunited in one family forever.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1888-06-14

"THE Republican party pledges itself
to correct the inequalities of the tariff
and reduce the surplus"
The above, in the lights and shadows
of the present hour, reads strangely.
Where did this brief, but pointed SEN
tence come from, do you say: 1t is a
part of the National platform of the
Republican party, in 1884. Funny isn't
itP Now, when the Democrats pro-
pose to reduce the surplus, the party of
so.called immutable principles de-
nounces the movement, as in the direc-
ton of free trade, and seeksto array the
laboring men of the country against
the Democratic party, on the ground
that it invites direct competition with
the pauper labor Of Europe
Certainly an honest effort by the
Democrats to do just what the Repub.
licans proposed totdo four years ago
ought not tor bei considered a violent
operation. Men and parties change,
but principles never. The Republican
leaders have changed their tactics since
1884, and are now clearly in the wrong.
This is why they will be wiped out / n
the coming November.
