Death of Mary Z. Friend.

A heavy gloom has been cast over
the hearts of the people in this COM
munity by the death of Mary G.
Friend, who has been afflicted for
several months, but at last she was
released from her Affections on Sun
day, April the 18th. to rest with her
Redeemer. She was a member of
the M. E. Church for nine years,
where she was faithful worker.
She said death was sweet to her she
feared it not, for her peace was made
with God, We know she is safe
from sin and sorrow. She was a
blooming youth. loved and respected
by all who knew her. We know her
parents, brothers and sisters mourn
her loss, but she is not lost she has
gone before, to rest for eyermore. We
ask them to be wise and choose the
good part that Mary has chosen.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
A. S, Arnett, at the house. Her re-
mains were laid in the cemetery at
Sand Spring, where her body will
sleep the last sleep.
Loving friends be wise and dry
straightway every weeping eye,
what we lift upon the bier is not
worth a wistful tear; tits an empty
sea shell, one out of which the pearl
has gone.
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever walked to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the dread of foes.
M. S.J.

About Trespassing.

There are many persons who imag-
inc they can cross field or enter an
orchard. fish in a stream which is the
property of another, and do many
things of this character which cannot
be resisted by the owner of the land.
There is a popular idea that mere
walking over field is not trespass.
1t possibly may not be damage to
such property. but it is INSIDE
meanor to do it which is punished by
law. The season is coming when the
people will be sauntering into the
country, seeking the suburbs for a
walk, to such as will do so, as well
as to all others, it will be safe for
them to understand the law of tres
pass. Persons guilty of trespass are
liable to fine or Imprisonment.

their living by getting up schemes to
cheat farmers are using the hayfork
game. This consists in storing a

will take care of them and sell them
he shall have a commission of from
so to rs per cent. On this represen-
