The divorce case of E. B. Donaldson
VS.. Abbie Z. Donaldson attracted con-
siderable attention the past week
while on trial in this city on account of
the absurd charges made on the part of
the plaintiff-that of cruel and inhuman
treatment. The trial occupied two days
and resulted by vindicating the defend
ant in every particular. The plaintiff s
witnesses consisted of his mother, a
niece, and one Mrs. Cummings, whom
it appears was the cause of the trouble.
Her appearance was an injury to his
case and satisfied, we believe, the
Court and the people that his complaint
was unjust and could not be sustained
Mrs. Donaldson Is well thought of by
those who enjoy her acquaintance, and
we are pleased that she has been
clearly yindicated. A number of the
ladies sustained Mrs. Donaldson by
their presence during the trial. The
son, Carl, was a witness in behalf of
his mother.

About f. w. Burt.

The Milwaukee Journal bestows the
following compliment upon our towns
man, Mr.. f. W. Burt, the successful
candidate in the contest for postmaster
in this city. Mr.. Burt is fully deserving
of it and We have reasons to believe
that Mr.. Burt will not be found want
ing in transacting the business Of that
office: ''F. W. Burt's appointment at
Grand Rapids is something in the
nature of civil-service reform as he is
not virulent politician or machine
politician, nor any other kind Of a
politician, but man who minds his
own business and is generally popular
He has been deputy under the
present democratic postmaster and
served his predecessor for years in the
same capacity, previous to which he
occupied the Office of Clerk of the
Court. Mr.. Burt is an old soldier and a
prominent member of the Masonic and
Odd Fellows societies."

A Complaint.

Now, Mr.: Editor, it may be well to inquire
il we cannot espeat any better mail service
than that we are just now having in our
Valley. Here are letters being sent to Area
dia that belong to Ironton, and some carried
past both places being sent back to Ironton.
1t is not for me to enquire the wherefore,
but, in common with others Of the denizens
of this beautiful Valley, / request better
SOURCE: do not say it is owing to change
OF administration Of postal matters, for a
letter / registered at Piedmont, Wayne
county, on the 18th of February, 1889, has
not yet brought me any return receipt. 1t
was to my friend Charles Stuart Parnell-
whether the British or American office has
been at fault don't know yet. So it may
not be the change to Moneywhacker or
Wanymakes that has caused the present
trouble but pray speak word to the author
tiles for yours complainingly,

Departed this life May 9th, 1899, few
minutes after O'Clock a. NJ, NAoM
AsENATH BANKS, aged Is years and 2 days
She was paralyzed over two years ago in he
lower limbs. Had no use of them for over
year, for the past year could move them
and we thought she would get well. VIZ
suppose she had second stroke in her lef
arm which took her off suddenly and alto
gether unexpected. Such is life, we know
not to- day what the morrow may bring forth
Naomi Asenath, my darling,
Naomi Asenath, my love,
You have left your pa for awhile,
To dwell with your Savior above.
Your trials and sufferings are o'er,
Your pains and Affections have ceased,
You are gone to your Jesus above,
Where all is love, Joy and peace.
Your God only knew how you suffered,
Your God alone could give rest,
He has taken you home my dear darling,
Because He thought it was best.
You are my first thought in the morning,
You are my first thought at night,
You were jewel so rare,
You were a jewel so bright.
My God gave me my jewel,
For Is years you were mine,
He only took what lie gave me,
Then should not be resigned.
At half past five Sunday morning,
When the sun was shining so bright,
My jewel was taken from me
BY Jesus who had the first right.
Your songs below to me were sweet,
Your songs above hope to greet,
Where we can both at Jesus feet
Sing his redeeming love.
Our parting will be short,
We soon will meet again
And join above to sing the song
OF Moses and the Lamb.
You sang while here, my darling dear,
OF going home tomorrow,
Tomorrow came too soon for me,
Aud am left in sorrow.
You sang another song my dear
OF Jesus hope of earth and heaven
That hope you sang while here blew
You realize in heaven.
My dearest child, through Jesus blood,
Your sins were all forgiven,
Death is the door to endless life
To endless joys in heaven.
Oh blessed thought that when we die
We will with Jesus reign on high
Forever and forever.
