ger. It is proposed for few dol lars in money to take away our hono- and give us shame, to take our free dom and pride and give us bondage and dishonor. Against this dishon- orablc proposal as Christian and gentleman, as husband and father, protest. And this proposal is made because it is not against the law. An my friends, there is anoth- CT law higher than the law of this land, and there is Judge before whom even the Supreme Court of the United States must appear and answer to the question, Was it right :" There is an eternal law of right between man and man, and the greatest of Judges in comment ing on it has said. ''Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink"
 If the undertaken and grave dig ger should find that they could not be punished by law, and for the sake of making money out of their re- spective businesses, should introduce the yellow fever into the town of Prescott over the protest of ma joT- ity of her people, the whole civilized world would cry out for shame. This is worse. Yellow fever only de- mands the bodies of her victims. but rum demand that body, soul and spirit be laid on her altar, before the sacrifice is complete. 1 enter my protest against 1t on behalf of the prosperity of this town, which will be injured. In the name of the young men who are the hope of the country, in the name of the defense less women and children whose rights are trampled under foot and despsed in the name of Christ whose cause is to be wounded, in the name of God whose holiness and purity is to be despised, enter my protest till the darkness shall pass and the daylight shall dawn.

 But 1 must not close this address without in some way testifying to my high appreciation of the faithful ser vices rendered us by the President and other members of the faculty. But before l do this 1 wish to con- graduate the school board upon the success that has attended their ef- forts to develop and build up the school interest of our little city. Your wisdom and discretion in the selection of principle and corps of teachers is so manifest as to remove all just grounds for complaint. For these faithful labors you need not expect to be more than partially re- warded here, but be assured ample compensation shall be yours here after.
 And now, dear teachers, to your untiring devotion we, in large measure, owe whatever of sue cess attends us now or may attend us in the future. You have borne patiently with our foibles and wrong doings, and although they may have justly provoked rebuke and correc- ton you have shown moderation and forbearance. We may have been in- different to your interest but you to ours never. The faithfulncss. wis dom and discretion with which you have instructed and trained us de- serves our profoundcst gratitude, for all of which allow me in behalf of this school and the entire communi- ty to most heartily thank you. May the choicest blessings of kind prov idence ever attend your labor and work of love.
 And now, in conclusion, allow me to say to all, and especially to my school-mates, farewell, be true to yourself, true to others and true tO God.

Obituary.

REEvEs-Maud Eva, only daugh- ter of Geo. w. Reeves, was born near Rosston, March 20, 1884 and died at Caney, in this county, June 21, 1890. Her short life was one of pain and disease, yet like little disciple of the blessed Savior, she bore it without mummur, and in her last painful sickness, while the lines of intense suffering were traced on her sweet face, the same degree of patience characterized her. She said when drawing near the dark river, "Mamma, you will miss me most at night" She often said she loved everybody, and in return every body loved her.

On the wall behind the stovepipe in
the Office of the Stone hotel at Great
Darlington hangs a crayon portrait, life
size, of queer genius. 1t is that of a
roundheaded man, with slightly convex
face, shelving forehead, somewhat
shelving chin, and with wide-oppn. wild
looking eyes. The original of the sketch
is Clinton Crosby, reciuse, gunsnlith.
seventy five years old. He is borer of
gun barrels as well. Clinton Crosby
came from Connecticut, the land
of inventors. forty years ago, and
has dwelt alone in the mountains since.
What part of the land of steady habits
was his birthplace and early home no
one knows; he does not talk much, least
of all about himself and his history.
But this much is known: In youth and
early manhood he was spruce, smart,
good-looking. and his head was packed
full of thinking brains. He fell in love
with Connecticut belle in country
village, and the maiden professed to be
in love with Clinton. Whether she ever
really loved him, or, thirsting for con-
quest, only pretended an affection she
aid not feel, is not known; but finally
she Tilted him, married another man.

Crosby was of different metal; he
tookl seriously, an this first affair
of the cart spoiled him entirely. His

remained Shrewd and sensible enough

Now and then he comes into
the village for supplies and
has a few friends there.
The most remarkable thing about
Crosby is he carries in his head q Sc
cret that is worth S3uO,000. The United
States government wants the secret, but
Crosby won't sell it. A mechanic of
wonderful ingenuity. he discovered
many years ago Il method for boring
gun and rifle barrels far superior TO any
other in the world. A barrel bored by
him is endowed with extraordinary pro-
pelllng force, penetration and marvel
Gus precision. How the old man ever
managed to do such work in shop in
which little machinery is to be seen is
profound mystery.
