Again, this spirit tries to convince us that man is not direct creation of God and made living soul, through the breath of God and so livery good,o but he is only an indefinite evolution from some other animal, etc, Now, to be soldiers of Jesus Christ, we need to put on the whole armour of God and, having done all, to stand stand boldly and fear lessly for the revealed truth, relying in the almighty strength of our God, for we wrestle not simply against flesh and blood, but against the powers of dark ness and spiritual wickedness in high places.
 We, therefore, need to quit ourselves like men; men enlightened through the truth, men of courage, faith and love, men filled with the Holy Spirit. There fore, we must be men of prayer, who read our Bible with a believing and obedient spirit, manifesting our Chris tianity by fighting every evil and never compromising with the wrong..s
 Hence, as to-day we recall the brave soldier life of the heroes whose graves we decorate, let the example of their self denial and bravery to face peril and danger for the sake of their country's perpetuity stimulate us to a more man. ly heroism for our conflict with the pres ent enemies of our glorious institutions of liberty and the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 May God fill us all with knowledge of the right and a full sense of our duty and with the spirit to do the duty. Amen. .-

BEDDING.

By the death of William Couch, one of Redding's historic mansions becomes va cant and will ultimately pass into the pos session of strangers, as he was the last of the family in town. He left one broth CT, Henry of Washington. Conn.,, and one sister, Mrs J. A. Sherwood, widow of the late Aaron Sherwood of Long Hill. He never married and has always lived at home, receiving the real estate of his par ents as his portion. By industry and economy, he obtained competence and was reckoned one of the rich men of Red ding. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition and was always liked by his workmen. He was an honest man in ev- cry sense of the word and never a driver at sharp bargains. The Couch mansion, crowning the summit of Couch hill, is landmark from great distance and com mands one of the finest views in Fairfield county. Far toward the horizon on the south, the waters of the Sound are vis- ible and, intervening, a pleasing variety of hill and dale and fruitful farms sur rounding neat and tasty homes, typical New England scene. It is the very beau ideal of an old colonial mansion to call up in the mind "reminiscences of by gone times. Such places are becoming rarer as time passes and soon the last will have succumbed to the march of modern inn provement.

renee ever known happened in Dawson;
Ga, recently. Martha Roundtree, the
well-known negro woman who kept a
restaurant at the south end ct Main
street, now occupies a grave at the

physicians of Dawson say that they
have never heard or read of a similar
case. Wednesday the woman, as we'll
as usual, was at the restaurant attend
ing to her work. She had just left
the rear of her eating saloon and
walked to the front when she was at
tackled with an excessive spell of sneez'
ing and coughing. She had been
afflicted with hernia, and the strain
was so great as to burst hole in her
stomach. Surgical aid was called in
and her stomach sewed up, which gave
temporary relief She fingered until
late Saturday afternoon, when she
died. The victim of this remarkable
occurrence was large woman, weigh
ing 246 pounds.

brought more marked results as to or.
der, cleanliness, and amount of work
done. The success attained has been
largely due to the appropriation Of 500
Of public money by Lac school board,
which has been duly appreciated. 1t
is also due to the untirlng efforts OF

prise and to our present corps of work

STILL POWERFUL IN IOWA.

Sam EUdns IN UttumICd Sun, Dem.
Notwithstanding the unfayorable
weather over fve thousand per-
sons were attracted to this city in con-
sequence Of the State Encampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic. Had
the weather been fine the attend dance
would have been probably as many
more. The Grand Army organization
now comprises large maj ority of the
veterans of the army that Impressed
the rebel lion and although it is an or
der that must necessarily decrease in
number as the years go by,y ct its influ-
ence and power will be maintained for
many years to come through the Sons
of Veterans. The Grand Army has
practically ceased to be political ma
chine; it is true that several years ago
individual members of the republican
party used it to advance their own in
terests. but since that time a great
change has taken place; there has been
a re-organiZ alton; democratic ex-sol-
diers have Joined the order and take as
much pride in its success and are as
highly honored in council as republi-
can members. The long and short of
it is there is no politics in the Grand
Army but-there is more decided ten.
dency among all ex-sOldiers to stand
closer together for mutual aid, protec.
tioD and sympathy than ever existed
before. There is a cause for this. AS
the years slip by the ranks are growing
thinner; as the republic grows in great
ness so does it show the grandeur of
the work these veterans accomplished
in saving the union when its life was
in danger. Had the rebellion succeeded
we would have had now a dozen war
ring confederacies exposed to the in
suits and Invasion of European pt wers.
All that the country is now in great
ness is due to the patriotism and devo-
tion of the men who offered their lives
for it when it was in peril. Real: Zing
these things the survivors propose to
stand together. Not as political, re-
ligious or even social organization, but
man to man, and against men who war
against an ex-soldier, and to assist each
other in every way possible, that is con-
sistent with the duties and obligations
they owe to the world outside of the
Grand Army.
