Death of Mrs. Carrie Decoff.

Mrs. Carrie Decoff died at her home
Sunday at one O'Clock August 4th- Mrs.
Decoff was born at little Berlin, Ger
many, in 1927. In the Province of
Brandenburg, sixty-two years ago she
first saw the light. She was the Oldest
of Is children. Seventeen of the child
rem died and Mrs. Decoff and the
youngest child of the family were alone
left to tread the winding path of life
that leads onto age and silver locks.
The little village in which she was born
was in the suburbs of Berlin, the great
German capitol, and as none dare
assume the name of the city of the
house Of Hohenzollern, the hamlet of
her birth was called Berlinschen, or
little Berlin. In this village she grew
TO womanhood with the last five years
spent in the family Of a good and able
minister who converted her to that
kind Of Christian life which has been
the deepest admiration Of every friend
and acquaintance.
DR. Miller, worthy, able physician
qiyed in BerIinschen and treated the
minister's family in which Mrs. Decotf
lived DR., Miller had u coachman, as
most old country doctors have, who
bore the name Of Fred DccoH. Almost
40 years ago Carrie and Fred met on
the streets of Berlinschen and formed
IL friendship that lasted Il score of years
until death broke the golden links
that tied the youthful knot of hope.
Berlinschen was the trysting ground
of Carrie and Fred and here they
wooed and won each others life.
Three years Of coUrtship quickly fed
with happy lives They walked in the
shadow of great Berlin. They saw the
royal gilded chariots Of the house of
Hohenzollern The equipage and pOmp
of German monarchs Their friendship
grew apace and strengthened as they
Ioitered under the lindan trees and
watched the kinglg carriages roll along
with painted crowns upon their doors
Their trysting strells led them by the
homes of the Humboldts and the Bis
narks, but amid the pomp and power
of all they loved each other still. Car
rie and Fred were married and moved
to Heller to work in large fruit garden
belonging to an old family as a royal
gift from the crown They cultivated
this garden for 10 years. A few years
after Mr.. Decoff died from an attack of
inflammation of the lungs. Mrs. Decoff
with her children moved to this country
a short time after. She has lived among
us for years. She has been an eNem-
plary Christian woman upright in word
and act. All her actions tended toward
the right. The stern sense of duty
controlled her life and she believed
man was made to serve his maker. Two
towns viii sadly feel the loss of such q
good woman. May she rest well be
yond the portals of the gate that stood
aiar to welcome her on the way.
The funeral service took place Tues
day afternoon at the VI. Z. Church

THE SUN AND THE WIND.

A Dispute once arose Betwixt the
north Wind and The Sun, or at least,
Esop says so, as to their Respective
Superiority, and they agreed to See
which could first induce a Traveller to
part with His cloak. The North Wind
began and blew through his Whiskers,
with very Cold Blast indeed, accom-
panied with shower of wet, Wet
Rain. That's where the Wind Got
Left. The Traveller exclaiaed: Darn
this Journeying on Foot, anyway. l
shall save time, attain a Green old Age,
and leave a Respected name to my
children if | travel on. that Famous
Line, the Wisconsin Central" And he
came In out of the wet and bought a
Ticket, and rode in the Luxurious
Coaches, and slept at night IN the
Magnificent Sleepers furnished by that
line.

Worth Knowing.

Mr.. w. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fla, was taken with severe cold,
attended with distressing cough and
running into consumption in its first
stages. He tried many so-called popu-
lar cough remedies and steadily grew
worse. Was reduced in flesh, had
difficulty in breathing and was unable
to sleep. Finally tried DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption and found
immediate relief, and after using about
half dozen bottles found himself well
and has had no return of the disease.
No other remedy can show so grand a
record of cures, as DIR. Kings New
Discovery for consumption guaranteed
to do just what is claimed for it.-Trial
