HULL's FARMs-cRoss HIGHWAY.

The death of Mrs William Goodsell,
which occurred May %, has already been
mentioned in the BEE; but. as a testimo-
NAL of respect to her Christian character,
/ have written this memoriam of her life.
After spending a useful life of over three
score years and ten, most of it in this
community, God has called her to the re-
ward of her earnest toll. Faithfully has
she taken up the cross of Christ, trust
ing him i'm her nisfortunes and i'm her
prosperity, looking to him for guidance
and help aud urging others 10 follow in
his footsteps. Surely it is a loss to the
family when the cold waves of death sep
arate from them loving mother and
wife, who. always up and doing for her
family, ceases not till God takes her from
her earthly cares. The earthly ties which
made husband and wife one are now bro
ken. The husband, now bowed down
with the weight of 20 Summers, still lin
gers. but for a short time only He,too,
will join her in the land beyond. Al
though but few euioy the blessings of
half century of married life, vet none
lived more peacefully than they. Be
ginning at an early age, long before she
entered womanhood, she became an earn
est worker for Christ and WAS member
of the Southport Methodist church up TO
her death. Her early life WAS spent in
Southport, where she will be greatly Ia
mented. At the chapel here, she was al
ways a constant attendant as long as she
was blessed with good health and took a
great interest in all its religious affairs.
When met by any one, old or young, she
always gave them a word of Christian
advice and her conversation WAS wholly
on Christianity. But few days ago.
Mrs Goodsell was about the house. al
though in poor health, discharging her
household duties, when she was brought
down to her deathbed by that fearful dis
ease, pneumonia and fingered only till
Tuesday. She leaves, besides her aged
husband, one son, William and two
grandchildren, who will miss her watch
full care. The funeral was largely at
tended at her home, Thursday at ,, Rev
G. A. Hubbell, of whose church she was
a member, officiating. The burial was
conducted by Undertaken Fable of West
port and the intermept was in Green's
Farms. =.

Obituary Poetry.

The temptation to write poem in
memory of the dear departed should be
resisted, even if it requires season of
fasting and prayer to accomplish that
end. The obituary poet always INDUCES
in a sneaking feeling that he is embalm-
ing the character of his friend in verse
and at the same time achieving immor-
tality for himself-killing two birds with
one stone, as it were. No amount of
personal grief can overcome the hope
! that he may convert the funeral rites into
ladder up which he can climb to write
his own name among the stars. Even
clergymen are sometimes subject to this
delusion, though results show that the
gracious intermingling of warm affection
and rhyming dictionary cannot save
them from making themselves ridiculous.
For example. A reverend ID. ID. of Tex
as, not wholly unknown to local fame,
has had an attgck of poetic fever which
closely resembles rhetorical st. yitus'
dance. He has '.compoged'' few fright
full lines, which have got into print by
some odd blunder, and he pitches his song
to this key:
In memory Of late Rev jackson ! gratefully
write,
| Cruelty murdered by w. Carter Roberts and
died almost the same night.
Fatherless children, widow and thousands
| were distressed,
| But the martyr-like "Stephen" hath entered
| his rest.
| What the late ssRev Jackson had done
to deserve such revenge on the part OF a
| clerical brother must be left to imagi-
nation of a nightmare. 1t is clear that
nothing short of couple of burglaries
could render such dire punishment either
legal or proper. This theory. however,
falls to the ground, for the poet later on
declares that
Unsurpassed IN good Judgment, impressive
Are characters Rev DR. jackson has left be-
hind.
He caps the climax Of euIogy by a
couple of statements, the first of which
can be verified by correspondence with
the parties concerned, while the second
must be accepted on general principles.
They are that Rev jackson
Freed Bethel in Dallas from every financial
demand
And has entered fair Canaan, .that heavenly
land
We sincerely hope that this effort on
the part of the Texan ID ID. has not over
strained his mental faculties, but we can
assure him that such work is dangerous
in the extreme and really ought not to be
undertaken a second time, unless, indeed,
he has become tired OF life and is trying
to commit suicide on the sly Herald

Give a kind word.

DO you know n heart that hungers
For word OF love and cheer2
There are many such about us;
II may be- that one Is near.
Look around you. II you find 1t,
Speak the word that's needed so,
And your own heart may be strengthened
by the help that you bestow.
u may be that some one filters
On the brink of sin and wrong,
And n word from you might save him
Help To mako the tempted strong.
Look about you, o my brother,
What a sin is yours and mine,
II we see that help Is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on waters cast are they
And II may be we shall find them
Coming back to us, some day,
Coming back when sorely needed,
In a time of sore distress.
So, my friend, let's give them freely;
Gilt and giver God win bless.

To the honorable board of selectmen OF the
zens and tax payers of the town of Fairfield.
do earnestly call your attention to the urgent
need Of drainage OF the main highway at the
turn near the Beers place SO called, now own
ed BY II. 4 Flint and most urgently petition
TO properly drain the same, either by a drain
OF proper size along the side of the macadam-
lied road to a point in or near the SO called
pond LOT near the post office, or in such other
manner as you may deem more efficient and
desirable. 1t is hardly necessary to call your
attention to the fact that at every storm the
sidewalk is flooded and pedestrians are COM
PEELED to make wide detour around the
roadway Also that, over year ago, this
condition was condemned by the town board
OF health, OF which you are ex-officio men,
bers, and pronounced detrimental to public
health and requesting your honorable board
to drain it Immediately. No action to this
end has,however, been ever taken. We trust
You will give this matter your immediate at

Summer months eyesore to the inhabl-
tants and a blot on our beautiful village.
