An Impressive Ceremony.

The funeral service Of Mrs. Nam
cy Canole, an account of whose
life and demise appeared in the
LEDGER Thursday, was conducted
at the Promenade Street Baptist
Church, of which deceased was a
member, Thursday afternoon. The
church was comfortably filled by
friends and relatives of the veaer-
able dead and the very impressive
ceremony was conducted by Elder
J. F. Smith, Rev. A. NJ. Varde-
man, the pastor and DR.. E. K.
Miller. The remarks of each were
full of feeling and highly suited to
the occasion. DR.. Miller alluded
touchingly to the wonderful influ-
ence of such life for good. He
spoke of the early pioneer life OF
deceased and referred to the many
hardships she underwent while
blazing a way through the wilds Of
an uncivilIzed country preparing a
home TOR her posterity. DR.. Mil
ler's remarks were exceedingly
touching.
After service of an hour, the
cortege was formed, and all that
remained of the remarkable woman
| who fought life's battles fer nearly
century, at times under the most
j adverse circumstances, was con-
signed to earth. Silver haired
children-grandparsnts themselves
and many other sorrowing rela,
| tives and friends, followed the re.
mains to the grave. the pal
bearers were: 5. NJ. Edwards
John Guthrie, J. NJ. Marmaduke
J. E. Ross, W. H. Kennan and A.

Done with q Diamond.

Seme wonderful feats with the
pen. have been completely ever
shadowed by the incomprehenslble
achievements of William Webb, of
London, England. In 1886 Mr.
Webb invented a machine which
was composed of exquisitely gradu-
ated wheels. running a tiny dia-
mond point at the end of an almost
equally tiny arm, whereby he was
able to write upon glass the whole
of the Lords Prayer within space
which measured the two-hundred
and ninsty-fourth Of an inch in
length by the four hundred and for
tieth of an inch in breadth, or about
the measurement of a dot over the
letter "i' in common print. With
that machine Mr.. Webb, or anyone
else who understood operating IT.,
could write the whole 3 ,566, ,4S0 let
tiers of the Old and New Testament
eight times over in the space of one
inch square.
When this wonderful microscopic
writing was enlarged by photo
graphy every letter and point were
perfect and could be plainly seen.

Lean and Pale Conductors,
From the New York Sun


"The old breed of railroad con-
ductors is disappearing" said ia
nous railroad man the other day.
"The conductors now are lean and
pale and narrow-chested. They
look like clerks. The big brawny
fellows who used to throw the prize
fighters out of the cars and were
not afraid to face a carload of cow
boys are all passing away. The air
brake is to blame. 1t has so light
ened the work of the passenger
brakemen that men can step out OF
counting rooms to man the trains
nowadays. They remain small
and light, and in that condition
are promoted to be conductors.

! the freight but not one in five
thousand of them ever becomes a
| passenger conductor.

No Votes, No Money.

Last August, when the guberna-
torial campaign had waxed warm,
when every nerve was strained by
the aspirants, and every effort put
forth TO win votes, Hon. John NJ.
Glover, b1 some irreverently called
Little Johnny" came to Boom
Vile. His friends-and he had a
few of the kind in Boonville-made
him believe that under certain con-
ditions he could carry Cooper
county He was therefore feeling
unusually happy, and flushed with
anticipations of coming success, he
was anxious to shew his gratitude
to the people of Boonville. Some
one suggested that a new Baptist
Church was to be erected in the
Vine Clad; that subscription to it
would be most gratefully appreci-
ated by the Baptists, among whom
were some of his most ardent ad-
herents. The naughty little Con-
gresham cared naught for money
at the time, and turned over his
check for 500 speedily. Time
rolled on. Cooper county declared
for Francis. The State Convention
buried Glover. He retired To Wash
ington. The check was presented
for payment and it was refused. A
draft for the amount was returned
protested, and, as a reminiscence
of the campaign, the Boonvilie
Baptist Church holds a dishonored
check Of "Little Johnny" for 500.
Put not your trust in politicians, is
| the moral of this little story. Mr..
Glover has no further use for the
good people Of Cooper county. The
good people Of Cooper county had
at no time much use fer him, and
since this characteristic action have
less.

The Twins Trust and the remedy

sENtfi tii- 'Etftf-P ftt''h$fte+
Can the farmers make a success
full fight against the trust which
has secured a monopoly Of the
twIne on hand in this country and
has a stiff tariff duty to protect i;
against foreign competition? With
their experience IN establishing
"grain stores" and other co.epera-
tive schemes still fresh in mind
the farmers will hardly venture to
engage in the manufacture of
twine, and must defend themselves
, by boycotting the trust product.
Uniertunately,it may be difficult to
get all classes of farmers to coop
crate in the effort.
Why don't the farmers get after
the representatives, in Congress to
repeal the big duty of three dollars
per bale on sisal grass, and thus
secure some permanent benefit fol
themselves? Sisal grass repre-.
sents about so per cent. ofthe ma.
lerial in ordinary binder twine
Sisal hemp or grass cannot be pro
duced in the United States and the
duty on it does not protect any
American interest. 1t does no.
come into competition with Amer
lean hemp, but is much cheaper
article aud used fer other purposes
| The tax on MANILA and sisai hem,
adds at least 81 900, 900 every yea
to the cost of binder twine to Wes
tern farmers.
