THURSDAY MORNING.

Rev. o. P. Clifford on The Child in the
Midst.-The child in the Midst is the ans
wer to the inquiring disciples: Christ's
commentary on the kingdom OF God. HUI
man nature is pretty constant toward the
young. Centuries come and go, civiliza-
don rises and falls, but human nature is
about the same. You will find men and
women looking out everyone for himself,
and the devil takes the hindmost.n These
men had been discussing as to who would
be greatest. Why did men rise up early
and stay up late.
The hour of TRANSPORTATION was the
hour of noon for Christ on earth. His face
shown like the noon day and his garments
were whittier than the SHOWS of heaven. On
that mount stood Moses and Elijah. 1t
was a sample of the kingdom of God. From
that mount of TRANSPORTATION, they went
down where Christ healed a demon. The
disciples had little argument for this, they
"held their peace" They had peace Of
lips but not peace of heart. They debated
in the way which would be greatest in the
kingdom of God. Human nature exert
ing itself. 1t is human to sacrifice others,
it is divine to sacrifice oneself. They car
ried their questions to Christ and he stood
child in their midst as his commentary
on the kingdom of God. From the time
of the birth of Christ Jesus in the Manager,
a child has been the type of the kingdom
of Christ. IL we want to understand the
kingdom of God we must understand the
child. Our civilization tends to make
children into men and women. am new
er called to the funeral of child but
what the parents are sure the child is saw
ed. How is it that we think the dead
child is saved, butthe living child unsaved?
What Is 1t in the stopping of the breath
that lnsures safety to a child? child is
always child. Christ did not put a corpse
into the midst, it was living child, as
full of love as any child. Old enough to
be called by the Master and to obey.
Christ put the child into the family. No
amount of repentance in after years can
make up for neglecting a child in its
early life. The young child is an oppor-
tunity from heaven by which souls are

Dennitt Witt was afflicted sorely for several
years, and the forttude he displayed in all that
time is almost without parallel.
NO matter what he felt, ne always appeared
cheerful among his friends, and all VINO knew
him were his friends. So it was that When The
news Of his death reached those who but three
days before lad seen his kindly, smiling face at
his Old home III Fishersville, they couiu hardly
believe that Dennitt was no more

his voice is hushed forever to mortal ears.

Death Of Lno. E. Hamilton.

Our community was shocked Tuesday
morning last by the announcement OF
the death of ,Jno. Ed. Hamilton.
Mr.. Hamilton was in town Saturday
last, in good spirits and looking better
than he had for some time past. Mon
dav he rode on horseback to his broth
er's, Hugh Hamilton, and afterwards
was out on his own farm experimenting
his hands. About 2 o'clock he returned
to the house. and was sitting in the par
lor talking pleasantly and cheerfully to
the ladies' The ladies noticed his head
fall forward, and thought he was gong
off into a nap, as was his habit lie got
up, however. and staggered to the door,
and went out on the front porch and
sat down. About five minutes after,
one of the children called him, and the
ladies went out to see what had become
of him. He was found in an uncon-
scious state, from which he never raj
lied. and died about 9 O'Clock Tuesday
his patient had passed beyond the limits
of human skill, and neither the skill OF
the physician nor the loving attention
of those around him, could arouse the
stricken man from the icy hand that
bound him.
Jno. Ed Hamilton leaves a host of
friends. He was an honest man. full OF
generous impulses. He was tender
and atfectionate husband and father a
warm and generous friend, faithful i'll
all the relations of life, and abounded in
kindly feeling and hospitality. His wife
who survives him with ten children
eight girls and two boys-is sister OF
Judge w. A. Hudson, of Florence, Ala.
His sister is the wife OF Col S. Brown
Allen His brothers, DIR. r. S. Hamil-
ton. Hugh Hamilton, Henry Hamilton,
and Jacob Hamilton. are all residents of
Augusta county, and are among our
most highly respected citizeps. Upon
the death of County Treasurer Paul in
1882, Jno. E. Hamilton was appointed
by Judge J. NJ Quarles to fill the unex-
pred term.
Those who lived close to Jno. e. Ham
ilton, and knew him well, held him in
high esteem, and feel in his death a per-
sonal loss. To this class of his friends his
sudden taking off was not a surprise.
Some six weeks ago, in mounting his
horse, he found he could not control his
movements; and a few days after in
reaching for something at table, his
hand fell powerless on the table before
him. These facts were known to only
a few of his most intimate friends, and
they have been apprehensive about him
for some time.
Mr. Hamilton's life was insured in the
Hartford and Annuity Company, of
Hartford, but we have not been able to
ascertain the amount of the policy. He
was SO years old.
The funeral took place at Thinking
Spring church yesterday morning The
pail bearers were: M. A McConb, G. W.
Bateman, g. E. Schumacher W E.
| Brand, G. A. Roller, and E. \. Fulcher.

H. Walker. twosof Mr.. Fishers patrons,
will inform their brother farmers how
they manage their kline to secure such
