The Spring Normal.

The Normal term of the Hillsboro
College will have an unusually large en-.
rollment this year. Adams, Brown,
Clinton, Fayette, Ross and Pike will aid
Highland in swelling the enrolment, be-
sides the pupils from greater distance
who will attend. The influence of the
Normal department of the College is ap.
parent everywhere in the county. Per-
sons who attend not only secure better
certificates and positions, but their work
in the school room is made more effect.
i've, as well as more pleasant, and is
better appreciated by the patrons of the
school.
Hence it is, that students who have
received thorough drill in the common
branches, placing themselves above the
dread of a county examination, and OF
worry in the school room, return the
next year to take up new branches,
since they experience that "an education
pays" The term this year opens April
5. Students are already enrolling. Make
your arrangements to attend, enter the
current Of enthusiasm and make one OF
the largest schools euer IN Hillsboro. The
term this year will present better advan.
tages than ever.

"And she was not since God had taken her
home"
Sarah H. Clancy, daughter Of John
and Margaret Emrie, was born in High.
land county, O., June goth, 1910, and
died in Hillsboro, o., February I'd, 1892.
At eight o'clock of that evening she
passed through that gate which "never
outward SWINGS" and joined the invisi.
BILE choir of those who served their day
and generation according to the will of
God and then were not because God had
taken them home.
She was married to Benjamin CLANCY
January 9th, 1881. OF nine children
born to them, two, son and daughter,
survive. In the death of this venerable
lady we are made conscious that but few
of her type remain among us. Yet
there are many to recall her personnel
of gentle dignity. her gracious courtesy
and uniform kindness. Integrity was
distinguishing characteristic, she pos
sessed the confidence and esteem of all
who knew her. A woman of pure, true
instincts, and consistent Christian, her
influence was potent in social and relig-
ious circles, and made her in her home
it's center.
In her the virtuous woman of Solomon
had a counterpart; she looked "well to
the ways of her household" and dis.
pensed generous hospitality. The
itinerant of earlier years found rest and
comfort under her roof. Of her tender
ness to her motherless granddaughter
only they may speak. Her home was
rarely without some one other than
husband and children, to whom she
gave of its comforts and cheer. Her
mind was stored with history and remi.
niscence. Her faculties were so remark
ably preserved that her companionship
was pleasure and her friendship a
privilege. The devotion of her family,
who so tenderly cared for, doubtless
prolonged her valuable life.
They call her blessed. Friends and
neighbors alike feel that
zone branch from the tree of our friendship
is shaken;
One heart from among us no longer shall thrill
With Joy in our gladness, our grief in our ILL.,

Wealth

Is something which most people seek,
and which but few are Indifferent to no
matter in what form it presents itself.
The word "pecuniary," which is often
used in speaking of mans riches, comes
from the Latin word pecus, which means
cattle, and shows that formerly mans
wealth was reckoned by the cattle he pos
sessed. Abraham is said to have been
livery rich in cattle, in silver, and in
gold." But no matter in what mans
riches may consist, it is all vanity and
vexation of spirit, unless in connection
