The Journals Bismark, N. D., special
says: 1.-THE country round about is ter
ribly wrought up over the killing of Sit
ting Bull. Instead of creating an easy
feeling it has aroused much apprehen-
sion and it is feared that many families
of settlers will fall before the vengeance
of Sitting Bulls followers. Sitting
Bulls son who was killed was only
twelve years old.
An enterprising Bismark merchant
this morning offered $1,000 for Sitting
Bulls hide.

BEGINNING OF THE END.
Sitting Bulbs Death will be the Means of
the Indians Return.


CHICAGO, H., Dec. Is, 1S90.-Up to
noon to-day no further news had been
received at army headquarters with
regard to the Indian situation in the
northwest. Speaking OF the death of
Sitting Bull, Adjutant General Corbin
said to an associated press reporter that
it was most probably the beginning of
the end of trouble. He said that as
Sitting Bull WAS now dead the Indians
who had great faith in him as medicine
man would come into the agency within
the next two or three days when they
hear of his death. If they do not.
General Brook has things in shape to
make short work of them. They are
penned up in the bad lands where no.
body lives and where they can do nc
damage.

In Mem0rIain,

Mrs. Susan Ellen Hancock, nee Galloway,
was born February 25th, 1920, in Bedford
county, Va, and died June 10Th, 1890, near
Pilot Knob, Iron county, Mo. She was mar
ried to j. W. Hancock, Esq, July 18th, 1889.
This happy union continued over half a
century. They We're blessed with eight
children and thirteen grandchildren. Sister
Hancock was a member of the Methodist
Church more than fifty years. A friend who
had known her we'll for the past forty years
said to me, "She was good woman, and
though so quiet and unassuming, will be
greatly missed" In the afternoon of the
day on which she died, at her request, | ad-
ministered the Sacrament of the Lords Sup
per TO her. Her mud was clear and she
participated in this communion service with
great delight. That night before eleven
O'Clock she called all the members of her
family to her bedside. After telling each
one goodbye she raised her hands and
clasping them she said, ,"Now, blessed Savior,
take me to thyself," and almost with the
same breath passed to her reward. There
is no doubt but that she is safe in the arms
of Jesus. The husband, who for more than
fifty years walked by her side, will miss her
most. But reunion will take place which
shall never be broken. May it be the lot Of
husband and children and grandchildren to
meet to part no more. A. f. TIDwELL.

LesterviIie Camp-Meeting.

LesterviIle Second Annual Camp Meeting
will commence on Friday before the 4th
Sunday in August at Lestervilie in Reynolds
county, Missouri. Last years Camp Meet
ing was an experiment which resulted so
fayOrably, that the community being so
much encouraged have appropriated means
and steps have been taken to erect commo-
dious shed. And in addition to this it is ex-
pected the number Of campers on the ground
will be largely increased, and more ample
preparation will be made to accommodate
visitors. Therefore let all we'll inclined
persons come and spend a week or two
from the heated wearisome tolls of business
life. Bring your tents, erect board tents, or
if you choose, come with covered wagons,
any way to get here and stay.
Persons wanting to rent tents for the oc-
casion must give notice to the undersigned
at least one week prior to the opening Of the
Camp Meeting.
An able ministry will be procured for the

control themselves, or are willing to be con-
trolled by persons empowered to do so.
Special invitation is extended to the minis

where it was last year, understand Mr..
Hunt went out to Centreville last week and
they told him they would give $50 for the
support of our camp-meeting. 1t will be
much better than last year, for we VIII be
better prepared to take care OF the peoole.
1t will be held one mile east of LesterviIle.
A good time is expected, and it is hoped
that many souls will be saved. Good order
will be kept as well.

were very hospitable. The majority of the
houses look like they were built in ante

Tom-You ought to have seen that sheriff.
He is great, big, strapping fellow, who
wears his pants in his boots, and is. no doubt,
formidable in tussle. That deputy takes
the cake, though. When he opens court, he
sings out, "Oh, gee, oh, gee. oh, gee! The
honorable Circuit Court Of Iron County is
now open pursuant to adjournment. All

Sister MELISSA C. FARR, wife of DR.. n. A.

at 1:56 A. NJ.
Sister Farr was born August Sth, 1859, in
Wayne county, No, married to her now
bereaved husband October 1st, 1876. She
never failed to pray every night since that
time up to the time Of her death, according
to her own statement. She leaves a husband
and four little children and number of rel
atives to mourn her departure. When she
knew that she must soon die her only theme
was her little children, ,al OF whom were alb
sent, saying, as her dying words, "Come
here, Lina-little darling, come to mamma"
And shortly afterwards closed her eyes in
edath, being satisfied to wake with the like
ness of Christ of whom she talked so much
during her last hours on earth. Her funeral
was preached by the writer in the NJ. E.
church Of this place on the 18th day of June,
1890, from the first verse of the fifth chapter
of I'd Corinthians.
Death cannot make our souls afraid,
II God be with US there,
We may walk through its darkest shade,
And never yield to fear.

Little Tommy is the third child which
Brother and Sister Keathley have laid away
to rest. May the good Lord give them grace
and comfort to help them say, "Thy will be
done."
$50 fades this lovely blooming flower,
Frail. smiling solace of an hour,
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die"
Is there no kind, no healing art,
To so othe the anguish of the heart?
Spirit of grace, be ever nigh,
Thy comforts are not made to die.
