DEATH OF VENERABLE CIflZRH.-Mr.
Samuel F. Whistler, one of the oldest and most
highly respected citizens OF the county, died on
Monday afternoon, July 18th, at his residence
near Fountain Green. If he had lived until
next January he would have been 90 years Of
age. Mr.. Whistler was an exceedingly active
and energetic man and continued his habits Of
industry almost until the day of his death. On
Thursday OF last week he engaged in pull
ing up weeds on his farm, and despite the remoD
strances of his family it is believed he over
exerted himself, and being taken sick his ad-
vanced ege prevented his recovery. He passed
away quietly and peacefully, without pain, and
like child falling asleep on its mothers breast.
MIR. Whistler was a native of Bucks county,
Pa, and removed to Baltimore comfy in 1922.
For over 40 years he engaged in the butch
eriDg bust aess in that county, part of the time
at Franklnville. From this place he re-
moved to the farm near Bel Air, lately oc-
cupied by Mr.. Alexander Norris. where
he lived for ten yeare, and in 1e40 bought
and took possession OF the farm on which
he died. He was upright, conscien-
tious Christian and exerted wholesC me moral
influence throughout the whole of his long and
useful life. He took part in the building the
Mountain Christian Church, of which he was
q member for 55 years, so years of which time
he was one OF the Elders In 1880 he married
Miss Elizabeth McComas, daughter of Ms.
Charity McComas. His wife survives him, with
three sons, who are Dr. Lee NJ. Whistler of
Evansville, Indiana, and Elijah B. and Harry W.
Whistler of Hartford county.
The funeral took place on Wednesday morn

etiquette nobody could rise in the presence
OF royalty without first obtaining per

temority to raise a window and the princess
died a martyr to etiquette. The county
commissioner are in a predIcament
almost equally ridiculous. They advertised
for bids for drugs, giving a list OF them
and paying several dollars for the advertise
ment. Under the law passed by the last
legislature no public official can furnish
supplies to a board of which he is
a member. County Commissioner
Hoyt, who had enjoyed a monopoly in
furnishing drugs aud various other sup
plies to the county, was thus barred. 1t
was in consequences Of a legal fight made
against allowing some bills of that official
that bids were advertised Tor. The bids

Hoyt is 500 lower than the lowest bid
submitted, The other firm. we under

The painting is 2Ilx25l inches in

Here Is a brief description of the picture:
1t represents a young mar and maiden
pausinR from their work IN the fields to
listen to the tollinG Of "Angelus, them
selves joining in evening prayer. The
sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm
golden light which gives a peculiar glow
ing color to the surrounding fields. The
young couple have been busy harvesting
the potato crop. They stand quietly in
the foreground, their figures clearly cut
against the vivid background. Their at
titudes express the devout religious senti-
ments of rustic piety. Both send in ST.
lence a feeling prayer TO their Maker,
while the bells are ringing the "AuGclus"

quaint little village church, which is seen
far away on the horizon, clearly defined
against the golden sky.
