Adam Eaches, Jr., aged twenty-five,
who died recently at his home in Franklin,
leaving wife and four small children, con-
scious of eternal death to sinners, became
penitent .supplient for Gods mercy and
died with all evidences of complete for
giveness. His last words, "Our Father"
came as an echo from the land of pure de-
light from which bourne no one has yet
returned. His death, painful and full Of
sorrow to relatives, is partly assuaged in
memory of the fact that sin the land above
where all is love, we shall meet again to
part no more"
-"Stroller," 1 saw in the CARBON AD-
voCATE that Levi Horn, John Hauk and
others claim the honor of the first driYe
across the new bridge, but Lewis A. Miller,
of East Weissport. is awarded the honor in
our town for he was from one side to the
other twenty times before Horn had the
approach ready for his teams to cross. Mr..
Miller hauled the last span of iron on the
bridge and unloaded it, and also the plank
for the two last spans. Mr.. Miller made
twenty trips over and back before the
Weissport approach was passable; the test
load was 1475 feet of lumber, pounds to
the foot, making total weight of 1915
pounds. This reminds me of the bear
story; the bear came in the house, the old
man was scared and ran under the bed
the old woman being more plucky slew the
bear ana said, 'Pop, he is dead" The old
man then came from under the bed and
said, "didn't zoe kill him NICE" See the
point? -"
