81 years. months and 6 days before his death,
which occurred in Alliance at the residence of
| his son-in-law. Mr.. David Pembridge, Feb. II,
1891. He was married S. years ago, and came
with his young wife to Portage Co., and settled
near Palmyra, where he lived six years. They
then came to Ravenna and bought coy home
near our town, and brought up family OF
eight children to respectability and usefulness.
The devoted wife and mother died abont

of her children. Since the death of the wife
the father has been living with his children.
He was steadfast member of the Welsh

Negro Philosophy.

The train was speeding along when in
the distance wagon loaded with wood
was sighted. 1t was standing in the road
beside the tracks, and as the train ap-
preached 1t was seen that four sleepy look
ing mules were attached to it and that a
big negro was asleep on top of it.
"Why, darn me-" said the old northern
farmer who was going south to visit rela-
tives, "he's stuck in the mud"
Fright you are" said the Pullman con-
ductor.
Just then the train shot by the wagon
and one of the mules dipped an ear as q
sort of courtesy to the passengers.
"And bust me all up If the driver amt
asleep" exclaimed the old farmer, hurry
to the rear of the car to get another look
at the wagon.
Looks that way" admitted the con-
ductor
"why, he amt stuck bad" he said after
last look.
"No?D

Mother and Child are poIne we'll.

Mrs. Brown was sick. Her friends said she
would never get well. ''Whats the trouble?"
80, some kind of female weakness. The doctors
have given up her case as hopeless. She may
live for some time,' they say, but as for cure,
that is quite out of the question:"
81 don't believe It," said woman, who heard
the sad news. 81 don't believe she's any worse
off than was, five years ago, from the same
trouble, and don't look very much like dead
woman, do I?" She certainly did not, with her
red, plump cheeks, bright eyes, and $50 pounds
of good healthy bone, blood and flesh. "Im going
to see her and tell her how she can get WELL"
She did so. She advised Mrs Brown to take DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Mrs. Brown took
the advice, also the medicine which cures all
kinds of delicate diseases so common among
women, and-got well. That was two years ago.
Last month she presented Mr.. Brown with ten
pound son, and "mother and child are doing WE'LL"
