Sudden Death of an Old Soldier.

The community was startled on Wednes-
day morning to learn of the death of Julius
Smith, an old soldier, who has of late been
staying at X. Davidson's. Mr.. Smith got
up at } o'clock and went to work on the
roof of a barn he was shingling. As he
did not come at the call for breakfast the
family supposed he had gone to the post
Office half mile distant, as he was i'm the
habit of doing in the morning. When he
still failed to appear search was made, and
he was found in reclining position on the
roof, dead. II was evident that he could
have worked only a few minutes before
death claimed him. Funeral services were
held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at the
house where ne died.

Early Thursday morning few of the
faithful raised the Prohibition flag which.
i'm the campaign four years ago, was the
only flag Of the three to hold fast its colors,
although it cost less than the Republican
which was also new then. The Cleveland
flag was not new and naturally that had
dimmed in brightness. There was no cN-
cuse for the rapid fading of the second
named flag, as far as cost was concerned,
and somebody must have been cheated, to
put it in the passive instead of active voice.
There We're those who maintained that the
principle of prohibition was typificd by the
wear of its flag Would that the principle
were better developed 10y the other parties.
Whatever may he said against the policy
of a third party in these times, may its
principles wear in the end.
