Mrs. Jeanette Brown.
rCommupicated.1 I


Mrs. jeanette Inskeep Brown was
born in Brown county, o., January 9th,
1916, and died at her home near Rus.
sells, November 18th, 1889. She was
married to Joshua Brown, March 10th,
1880. He died in 1867. OF their nine
children, all living at the death OF Mr..
Brown, Eve survive their mother-Wm.
and James Brown, Mrs. G. w. Barrere,
Mrs. w. T. Roush and Miss Mary
Brown.
Mrs. Brown was a woman OF native
force of character. Her judgment was
clear and her insight acute. As the
wise woman Of Scripture she "looked
well to the ways of her household" and
their large family were raised in thrift
and competence. The home was known
to the stranger in the gate," and gen.
erous hospitality was extended to large
circle of friends. "
Mrs. Brown was a consistent member
of the M. E. Church for forty years.
Until age, with its limitations was upon
her, her feet were familiar with the
courts of Zion, and her home afforded a
pleasant rest to the weary itinerant.
Her mother. heart was largely bound up
in her children, and the death OF those
who preceded her severe trial; but
the tragic fate OF her youngest son, John,
in August, 1883, precipitated the feeble
condition that made her the easy prey
of one of deaths most painful emissar-
les.
Despite the tender care and constant
watchfulness Of her daughters, on Mon.
day evening, November 1lth, her cloth.
ing ignited, and although help was i'm.
mediate, she survived the accident but
90 hours.
Thus passes away another OF the older
citizens whose knowledge of the early
settlers of the county and its history
will remain in but meager record. The
battle fought, the victory won, they
rest

Quite spirited case was tried before
Square Maddox last Thursday. The
parties were ]. F. Morgon and Samuel
P. Scott. The cause of the action was
the loss of horse belonging to Mr..
Morgan which had been SO injured in a
barbed-wire fence erected by Mr.. Scott
that it died. Mr.. Scott had offered $50
to Mr.. Morgan to compensate him for
his loss. This was refused and suit was
brought before the justice and jury
with verdict for the defendant. We
understand that the case is to be ap.
pealed.

Are We On the War Path for Trade {


Yes, sir, and If you can spare the time
to look you will be satisfied that we
have the most complete stock OF choice
staple and fancy groceries your optics
ever gazed upon. The fact is we have
twice as many goods as we ever had be-
fore, and in order to show them up and
accommodate our growing trade we are
fitting an elegant room which will
double our present capacity and where
everybody will be welcome to call and
make an inspection.
Do we guarantee prices?
Yes, sir, we name prices for other peo-
pie to follow. They are low enough to
attract the attention OF the closest buyers,
and then those who do not figure so fine
get the benefit just the same.
How can we name such low prices?
Why our immense trade enables us to
buy in such quantities that we get the
discounts given to wholesale merchants,
and many articles can be sold at retail
at wholesale prices.
You are hitting the nail on the head.
Yes, sir, think we are. We have no
ambition to be rich ; we want business,
and If fair dealing and honest values
will get it the West End Grocery will
get there, and don't forget it.

Suggestion for Editorial.

Inc modern magazine may be taken
- embodying the best literature of the
world, as the magazine editor pays the
highest prices to novelists, scientists,
statesmen, soldiers and even kings and
princes, for the best they can furnish in
the literary line. The well.edited maga-
zine becomes an educating influence in
the family circle, whose importance can.
not be over.estimated. The children, as
they grow up, are attraracted by it's H.
Illustrations, and so come in time to have
taste for reading. There is always
something that is new, something that
is strange, something that is interesting; ;
and we consider that we are doing our
readers positive benefit If we are in.
strumental in placing such a publication
within their reach. The special arrange.
rhent which we have made with the
Cosmopolitan presents very unusual in.
ducements. That magazine, although
only in the tenth month under its new
management, is already recognized as
one of the most interesting publications
OF the day. 1t is seeking subscribers
everywhere and obtaining them. The
proprietors believe that the Cosmopolitan
has only to be examined to secure per.
mSnent subscriber. That is why we are
enabled to make, If the offer is accepted
before January next, such a very low
rate, by which our readers can obtain
the Cosmopolitan for little more than the
cost of this journal alone. Just think Of
what the combination means! You OBJ
tain your own home journal at about
the regular price, and have thrown in 9
magazine which gives you, in year
nearly fourteen hundred pages OF read
ing matter by the ablest writer's OF the
world, including six hundred pages O
illustrations that are unsurpassed il
point Of interest and execution. Will i
not pay you to send q subscription t.

Obituary..

Grace Ladd was born January Goth,
1884, and died November 18th, 1889,
aged 55 years, 8 months and 10 days.
She was born, reared and lived all her
life at the place where she died, and of
her it can be tAuly said, ian unsung
heroine is gone;" for there is true
grandeur in life we'll spent in strug.
gle with the prosaic affairs Of this world,
and brave standing-up for sturdy faith
in what is plainly right and duty. She
came Of long line of Quaker ancestry,
every one Of whom was stern believer
in and practitioners of the homely and
old.fashioned virtues-honesty, econ
omy, truth, integrity and plainness.
Grace was believer in these things and
abe had the courage of conviction. She
was essentially "level.headed" woman,
true as steel in everything of worth a
despiser Of shame and lover Of what
soever is good and true, just and right.
To say this would sound like hollow
verbiage. if we did not all know that at
time in her life when the minds of
common mortals are usually filed with
thoughts light and joyful, and full of
hope, she assumed charge left to her by
her dying father, and in that sad hour
she put away childish things and all the
hopeful joys that belong to healthy
young girlhood, and bravely begun the
battle of life for others. No devotee
ever assumed the vows and veil of life
sacrifice with more complete abnega-
ton of self than did Grace Ladd when
she entered upon her life's duty and
labors, and we, her neighbors, know
what they have been. And when her
work was done she was ready to face
death like brave Christian woman !;
nor could the agony of intense pain take
her mind from the thought of others.
When she had asked her physician as
to her chance OF life and he could give
her no hope, she asked him to say moth
ing about her dangerous state, because it
would only grieve her friends to know
what they could not help, "and trouble
comes soon enough at best" she said.
She was so thoroughly ready for the end
that she said she had "no further prep
arations to make" Her only request
was that her sister, Margery, and hus-
band, who have for the last two years
been superintendent and matron of the
County Infrmary, should return home.
They Immediately resigned and began
to move their effects, but her disease
progressed SO rapidly that they had not
completed their arrangements when she
died.
A brave life is gone out, a good woman
is dead, work has been well done--that
is the story. Their silent examples of
devotion to duty are as well dressed
and fitted stones in the great building OF
human society, not much observed
when in place, but taken away they
leave broken portion and painful
vacuity. A few build better than they
know, because an all.wise hand over
rules the thoughtless, but fewer there
are who build the best they know, being
ruled by the same hand. OF the latter
class was Grace Ladd-she did what she
cOuld.
