The pioneer friend TO the American
Housewife Is "The Household" q
monthly publication founded by Geo.
L. Crowell in 1868, and printed at
Battleboro, VT, until last January,

might better serve its rapidly increas-
ing list of subscribers.
"The Household" as it's name i'm
plies, is devoted TO the family, and
contains helps and suggestions fitted
to every department of the home, and
to every member of the family.

cal articles to the Kitchen, Dining
Room and Sewing Room. Mrs. ID, A.

Life of General sherman.

No literary announcement OF the
year is of greater interest to the gen.
eral public than that of comprehen-
sive life of General Sherman, which
is about to be published and sold
through agents by the noted house of
Hubbard Brothers, Of Philadelphia.
Admirable biographies of Grant and
Sherman, complete TO the time of their
death, are already familiar to the pub
lie, but a life of the third great COM
mander, to finish The series, has been
lacking. The various biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have nec-
essarily been incomplete; and even
his own memories, written in 1915,
said almost nothing of his intensely
interesting early life, and not word,
of course, OF the more than twenty
years of social activity and fraternity
with old comrades since the war.
The work which is now to be issued
will splendidly supply the widely felt
demand for history of the great
stratic commander. 1t is being writ
ten by General O. 0. Howard, a man
of fine literary attainments, who knew
Sherman better than any other OF his
comrades now living, and ranked next
but one TO him in the army, and by
Willis Fletcher johnson, whose ability
as a historian is familiar TO the read
ing public OF America through his
former unusually popular works,
which have had millions OF readers,
and tho sales of their vast edition en-
riched an army of book agents. That
this history of Sherman, The last OF
the great generals, will surpass all 9TH
ers IN popularity is not to be doubted.
The story of this great generals ca
reer is of a marvellous march from
the mountains of time to the sea of
eternity. Of the three great war he
roes, Sherman was by far the most in-
teresting personality. lie was the
best known to the public and the best
loved for his genial disposition and
warm sympathy with the popular
heart. He has joined his illustrions
compeers in the eternal bivOuac OF the
dead. His is q life TO siudy-tO emu
late-and is a profound inspiration.
The forthcoming volume will tell tho
whole story of his marvellous career,
aud from the authorship engaged up
ON 1t, we are assured il will be told in
way that will enthral the attention
and interest of every reader from tirsI
to last. 1t is book every American
will want aud one every American
youth should read. 1t will doubtless
be the best life OF the great chieitain
and we predict for it Won
deriul popularity.

Trade with Home Dealers.

We received a few days ago propo-
siiion for advertising from some kind
of u cooperative outfit at Chicago
which offered wonderful inducements
in the way OF cheap goods, says the
ChetOpa Advance. Their advertise
ment stated that they could furnish
their customers with goods at whole
sale prices. We have but little doubt
about the prices being low enough,
but we do have serious dOnbts as TO
the quality of the goods. We happen
TO know little about one sale made
by the aforesaid firm or a similar one
at Chicago. A certain party in an
other part of the state we know of
purchased from them double barrel
shot gun at a price much less than il
could be bought for OF any home deal
er, but 1t was utterly worthless
could not be sold for half what was
paid for 1t. Of course the purchaser
had no redress. For little more
money he could have bought a gun of
homo dealer and had il warranted.
The purchaser of the suide gun wrote
the firm a searching letter, but il did
not improve the gun or bring back
his money. The more sensible plan Is
10 deal with home merchants; men
whose reputation is at stake for relia-
bility, and then Won will stand a bet
ter show Of getting your moneys
worth.

UNDER THE SOD.
The Remains Of John Fox Resting in
Greenwood.

The funeral of John +. Fox at the
Baptist church this morning at 1000
o'clock was very largely attended.
The character and popularity of the
young man were well attested by the
gathering of sympathizing friends
who filled the house.
The pall-bearers were w. w.
Barksdale, Il. +. McReynolds, Frank
Blackwell, Mack Neblett, Bayliss
Gerhart and G. X. Barnes.
The pulpit and church were bur
dened with the rareSt floral offerings,
no less than thirty elegant designs
and any number OF smaller bouquets,
all brought as heart felt offerings.
Pastor Boone preached the funeral
discourse from Second Timothy, 4th
chapter and part of 9th verse, 81
have finished my course" The SER
mon was faultless and we'll calculat
ed to touch every heart. The speak
er began by saying that the object of
funeral service was to draw consola.
ton for the living. Death in this
instance had chosen a shining mark,
and the occasion was one which peo-
pie should consider with profit.
John Fox started to climb the noun
tain in pursuit of high ambition.
He failed to reach the summit, but
had scattered many flowers by the
way from which the living might
gather comfort. Though cut off
young, no true life is ever really lost.
Death is but blessing to those who
live and die in the Lord. The text
might be thought more proper for an
old man, whose years were of good
works, but John Fox's life was as
complete as that of an Octogenarian,
for he had been faithful and fought a
good fight. He referred beautifully
to the death of Christ at the age of 33
and its fullness of good works when
he exclaimed, at is finished"
The speaker referred feelingly to
the incident three weeks ago when
Deacon Fox welcomed him to the
church, and little did he think then
that his sorrows would be the first
to cast a shadow over his pastorate
His portrayal of the steadfast charac-
ter Of the young man was beautiful
The services were concluded at the
grave by the Knights of Pythias,
DR.. Butler Boyd officiating as Prelate
and the sod under which John FOx's
remains were left to rest was
covered with beautiful flowers.
