Quoted at the family residence by Rev. j.
E. Rudisill, M. E. Church. There is al
ways a peculiar sadness attending the
death of little child. We cannot under
stand the meaning, nor fathom the depths
of the Divine purpose which strikes down
the innocence and tenderness of child
hood, as the frost smites the tender flow
er. We attempt to look beyond the lim-
ITS of time for consolation, and only dis
cover our own entire weakness and help
lessness. We can only place our trust in
the wisdom of Him who gave, and who
hath taken away.

NEW COAL DISCOVERY /
A Rich Region Opened UP Near
Town!

Mr.. Samuel McClung, living just be-
yond the corporation, southwest of town,
has been prospecting for coal in the large
hill on his place, and has developed vein
of rich coal, said, after thorough test, to
be magnificent blacksmith coal. The
vein is more than two and half feet
thick, and doubtless runs through the
whole range of hills on that side of town.
Mr.. McClung has leased his coal, on roy
atty to Messrs. John James, Mr.. Lloyd,
and others. Mr.. HoskinS also has some
valuable coal lands over on that side We
can remember getting camel coal on that
side of town, when a boy, to make rings
and ornaments with. This is a rich re-
gion, and this coal just opened has been
lying undisturbed all these years. There
are vast stores of coal yet undeveloped in
this region, and the coal business of the
future will be large.
Word has been received from Michigan
that Mrs. Hank, wife of Alvin Hank,
died a few days since. Mrs. Hank was
formerly Miss Lydia Abbott, daughter
of the late Rev. A. Abbott, one of the
ablest ministers that ever talked to the
people of Southern Ohio Mr.. Abbott
has been dead for some years, but Mrs.
Abbott is still living. Rev. Abbott used
to teach school in Jackson, and we re-
attending his school in the old
building which formerly stood where
Smith Brothers store is now located. It
was Mr.. Abbott who made prediction,
years before the war, that great civil
conflict would come within few years,
the result of which would be the down.
fall of slavery. Strange as it may seem,
the prediction was SO closely fulfilled as
to time and detail, that many people re-
garded it as case of prophecy bordering
on Inspiration
