Obituary.

Mrs. ELIZABETH H. LOGAN, born
March 23d. 1911, died at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. VIM. Gay. Iron
ton, Mo-, April 9TH, 1892.
Mrs. Logan was born near Thincastle,
Virginia. Her maiden name was NAL
low. She emigrated into Belleview
valley with her parents. when II years
old. She was one of Is children; she
has d brother still living in Washing
tod county, and a sister, Mrs. r.
Downey, living in Wayne county.
She united with the Presbyterian
church at Belleview when about p
years old, and was a member of the
Ironton Presbyterian church when she
died.
In the year 1882, she was united in
marriage to Mr.. John V. Logan. Mr..
Logan was also from Virginia, and from
near Thincastle, yet the two families
knew nothing of each other until they
met in Belleview valley; both families
arrived about the same time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Logan lived, after their
marriage, at Belleview for six years;
then they removed to Reynolds county.
In 1850 they again settled at Belleview,
and remained there until 1864, when
they removed to Arcadia Valley, set
Ting in Ironton.
Mrs. Logan had four sons and three
daughters. Two sons died within a
few weeks of each other, of scarlet
fever. Her daughter, Mrs. Muffiey.
died in 1873. She buried her husband
in 1874. Three sons and two daught-
ers, numerous grand children and sew
eral great grand children have been the
comfort of her declining years. For
her many years she has been the guest of
daughter, Mrs. VIM. Gay. For years
she has been great sufferer; yet, up
to about 4 years ago, she was able to
visit her daughter, Mrs. Purkiss, walk
ing both ways. In the most of all her
sufferings, her Christianity was the
brightness of her life. She was always
considerate of the feelings and comforts
of others. and complained but little of
her own sufferings. Last Thursday
morning, about 9 o'clock, she departed
for her reward, leaving behind her a
family whose Christian life is testi-
mony to her faithful training.

In accordance with his promise in
last weeks issue OF this paper DIR. L.
F. c. James at St Paul's Church Sun
day night delivered a lecture upon the
inquiry of Pilate-..What is TRUTH"
Since we have known the reverend
gentleman we have known him to be
able, learned and scholarly, but we
confess that until that occasion, we
had no just conception of his great
learning and eloquence. The lecturer
reviewed the conditions of mems minds
on matters religious, at the coming of
Christ, and the effect OF the teachings
of their philosophers: then be contrast
ed the teachings of Christ, and its eff
fects at that day. Then he gave his
tory of the conflict between Christianity
tracing from its incep-
ton to its close, the most gigantic
conflicts of scholarship and of morals
the world has ever known: here viewed
the cast and bent of Oriental and acct
dental mentability. their causes and
effects. and showed that the truth of
Christ had been the means of redeem
ing the west from ignorance and bar
barism. Immortality and vice, and was
now circling the earth in its bands of
truth. We confess our inability to do
justice to this great lecture, and con-
tent ourselves with saying that it was
richer in learning, ripper in scholarship,
purer in diction, grander in conception,
and deeper in research. than any lect-
ure of any kind ever delivered in Iron
ton. We voice the sentiment of his
every nearer in urging upon DR.. JAMS
to keep his promise to deliver anoth T
lecture upon the same subject at some
future day.

From Goodwater.

Ed Register-We were all surprised
by old winters sitting on the lap OF
spring. so long. Many farmers in this
and adjoining communities have run
short of feed This means hard times
for many poor plOw-horse and mule.
But all are hopeful that spring is here
now in good earnest, and everywhere
out door work, especially that neces-
sary to the proper preparation of the
soil for oats and corn, is being pushed
with laudable energy. Though all our
crops will necessarily be put in some
what later than one would have thought
likely Il month ago, the time of sowing
and planting Will by no means be belat-
ed as much as would be the case, had
but little ground been broken ere this
time. Happily most all farmers here
abouts were sufficiently wide-awake to
utilize all the time during the past two
months when it would do to plow."
The prospect for remunerative
yield of the wheat crop is very slim in
deed. A few persons in this locality
sowed oats just before the memorable
cold-snaps of fortnight ago; it is be-
lieved that the oats then sowed will
terminate Tor they were well protected
by the deep snow.
While there are many poor cattle
and horses in this country, because of
the unexpected prolongation OF old
King Winters reign, most of the live
stock in this neighoorhood looks as
well as is usual at this season of the
year.

and Mr.. Ashlock, Superintendent of
the Sligo Company, each bought lot
| cattle hereabouts recently.
Messrs. John Hughes of near Iron
dale and Marion Anderson, ST., of near

SNOW HILL, Md, Aug. 1s.-At Public
landing yesterday the Worcester county
Farmers Alliance held large basket
picnic, which was attended by several
hundred people. The assemblage was
addressed ON topics of interest to the
farmers by Professor Thomas H. Spence,
Dr. Sylvester X Marshall and Others
The Snow Hill brass band furnished
music for the occasion. which was one
that will be long remembered by the
agrIculturists of Worcester county.
There was no politics in the meeting. as
the Worcester alliances were organized
for another purpose than politics
namely, the lettering of their condition
as farmers.

James McGregor, of West Berlin district,

structive and stimulating volume en-
titled 1.-THE Perfect Horse"-a book, by
the way, that is already out Of print,
and copies of which command consider
able premium.
Murrays reputation was made by his
famous book on the Adirondack wilder
ness, which has more than reached its
one hundredth Thousand. The posi-
bilities of these sketches, which first APP
peared in local Connecticut paper,
were discovered by the keen eyes of
James I. Fields. Published twenty
three years ago, the book gained wide
attention and led to no end Of con-
troversy. Many, particularly wise
penny-a-liners and boolSish men, looked
upon the matter as a canard, regarding
the very circumstantiality of statement
as mere cleverness of the inventor, anal
ogous, in measure, to one of Poes
celebrated literary hoaxes. Not so with
those whose instructive faith had not
been perverted.
well remember how the new book of
enhancing adventure was passed around
the circle Of my boyish friends at the
district school in a western state, at
which 1 was then learning the art Of
carver of desks and benches. There was
no doubling these tales in that appreci-
alive circle. The stories of Loon Shoot
ing in a Thunderstorm" and Jack
Shooting ON Foggy Night" carried full
conviction to our souls. Curiously
enough, Mr.. Murray now views this sue
cessful book with dissatisfaction, d" and
his controlling motive in writing ebay
light Land" was to produce an anal
ogous work of touring and light travel
which should more nearly satisfy his
ideal in this species of composition.
From the stir the Adirondack book
made, as well as from the authors elo-
Quence as preacher, he became subject
of interest TO the lyceums, and soon had
great vogue as lecturer This was in
the days Of the platform giants-Gough,
Phillips, Beecher and Emerson, of which
great coterie Of speakers Adirondack
Murray is the sole survivor. And he is
actively preparing for fresh campaign
on the platform during the coming fall
and winter.
MT. Murray IS me example OF rODusl
manhood. OF large and powerful frame
and imposing presence, though in his
ffty-second year, his step is elastic and
springy, and beneath his thick, white
hair his kindly eyes beam forth with un
limmed luster. His face is rounded
and ruddy with perfect health. Truly
one need look no further for proof that
the great north woods hold in their re
cesses the secrets Of healthful vigor and
have power to retard the touches Of
time. ALBERT J. POTTER.
