Obituary.

Died, at $50 A. NJ. February ID, 1890, Of
pneumonia, JOSEPH ARTHUR, son of Mr..
and Mrs. v. f. Rockwell. at the residence of
his parents, at Annapolis, Mo-, aged 3yeaI ;,
months and 4 days.
The departed was beautiful child-beau-
tiful in person, we'll as in disposition and
mind. 1t has been long since the writer saw
one more full of infantile graces. and of
brighter promise in the future. And it was
natural tina, his parents natural love should
be redoubled with each newly developed at :
traction.
But death Is mo respector of persons, nor
Of youth, nor Of beauty; he seems to be
blind and sees not.
But death sees; he loyeth a shining mark !;
his aim i sure: and his fiat is memorable.
The ways of Providence are inscrutable, but
some end was in view when the fell shaft
sped on its mission and the young and the
beautiful, and the loved, was stricken.
But there is a silver lining to every cloud,
a Salve for every hurt.
No sin ever stained the soul OF this child,
no wrong is on the debit side Of his account
in the ledger of life; and, waited on angels
wings to the peary gates, and with baby
fingers rapping his appeal for entrance, he
hears-and methinks the blessed sound is
waited to his parents ears-"Let the little
children come unto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
The parents have the sympathy of all
men, but they are reminded that what is
their loss is their loved ones gain. j.

John L. Sullivan and J he KilIain, aliaS
John Meyers and Jake Lesser, had a fight
the other night which took place in front OF
Mr.. SeitZ's store. 1t seems that Jake had
been imposing upon Johns good nature too
long. So, after holding a consultation with
some OF his friends, they advised him to go
down and see Jake, which he very reluctant
" consented 10 do, but it seems he couldn't
find Jake right away, but didn't have TO wait
very long, when Jake came along whistling,
unconcerned of what was going to happen,
when John let go with his right, knocking
Jake out in the first round, when Jake want
ed to know who that was, but finding the
blows still coming, took to his heels when
the referee called out. and tried to head him
off, but Jake proved the swiftest.
