About Sidewalks.

Editor DEMOCRAT: Was there not
an ordinance passed by the Town
Council sometime ago requiring
property owners to make sidewalks
and keep them In good rcpair2 Ifso
why do not the town authorities en-.
force that ordinance9 Some of the
property owners have already com.
piled with its requirements while
others seemingly pay no attention to
il.
We think that it is the duty OF
the town officials to look after this
matter and see to it that the dilapi.
dated sidewalks be repaired at once
before some Of our citizens are serl
ously crippled in trying to walk over
them. For the good OF the town and
that right and justice may be done
to all concerned we trust that the
town authorities will look after this
matter. CITIZEN.

Obituary.

Miss Lillian Pearl, the oldest daugh-
ter of I. j. and Susan M. Russell, died
on Monday, October the 9th, 1890, af-
ter continued illuess of more than
ak months, during which time she was
a constant sufferer, but her patience
and fortitude were most remarkab BILE
through 1t all. Her life, In whic h, was
manifest unusual moral force and abili-
ty, and which gave promise of bright
future of usefulness In the right, end
ed In the short perid of 10 years and rs
days; but while her life in this world
was so briefly spent, it was pre-emi-
nently success, because In IL were
manifest the true christian gI aces. She
was always obedisnt to her parents, was
ell TO them that a child could be and
she was kind and devoted sister. She
was also passionately fond OF her
grandmother. Miss Pearl was q devot-
ed and pious christian and was always
ready to deny herself and sacrifice for
the comfort OF others. She was endowed
with the power OF the finest moral dis-
cernment and very pronounced In her
convictions on all social and moral
questions. Her life was most beautiful
ly spent In strict adherence to the
gospel Of Christ, having been convert
cd when she was eight years old, and
then, her spirit clad In bright i'm
mortality took its flight to the realms
of eternal day. In her death the Cum
berland Presbyterian church has lost
one OF its most earnest, faithful and ef-
ficsnt members, but we bow In humble
submission TO the inevitable, knowing
that our loss Is her eternal gain. We
deeply sympathize with the grief strick-
en- family and would direct them TO the
precious promises of God which gave
her such peace and consolation in all
her affilction. From these promises
may they receive substantial assurance
OF Joining her In the "homc beyond"
We commend the family to the grace Of
God, and TO his tender love and sym
patty. PAsroR.
