Death of a Sweet Little Babe

John O'NeilI, the infant son of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Belcher, died at
the home of bis parents, in Benton,
on last Friday morning, aged one
month and 10 days. The bereaved
parents have the sympathy of the
entire community in their bereave
ment, having lost two little babes
within less than a year. How desc
late now, when their little lights
that were so radiant in the home
circle have gone out, and only recol-
lection remains, and their thoughts
must turn for consolation to that
"house not made with bands eternal
ia the heavens" and to the promise
that there place will also be pre-
pared for them.
The interment took place in Red
River cemetary Saturday.

Such charm being gsupposed to over

under its influence, it Is naturally an
invaluabl6 adjunct to the Implements

Some years ago an attempted rob
berry was made by BURGLARS on an cs-

quote a contemporary account Of the
affair. they entered the house armed
with a dead mans hand, with a light
ed candle in it. believing that a can

also that if a candle in Il dead mans
hand be introduced into a house it
viii prevent those who may be aSleeD
from awakening. The inmates, how
ever, were alarmed, and the robbers
fled, leaving the dead hand behind
them.
Many similar stories are told OF the
use of the dead hand by thieves, one
I'll
Gould being worthy OF notice. Two
men having come to lodge in public
house with = view to robbing it
asked permission to pass the night by
the fire and obtained 1t. When the
house was quiet, the servant girl,

"A MEMORABLE YEAR.
THE ANNALS OF 1892 GIVEN IN A
NUTSHELL.

1Ae Year Has Been Marked by PeaceabIs
Political Revolutions, Remarkable la
Dor Disturbances, Unusual Disasters
and Notable Anniversary Celebrations
The year 1892 VIII pass into history as
one OF the most remarkable in the an
mails Of the world. There have been wars
and rumors of wars, f; .mines, cholera,
yellow fever and labor disturbances,
election contests of a remarkable char
acter in England and the United States,
each resulting in the downfall of the
hitherto dominant party; a comet has
bfazed across the heavens, there have
been star showers, the presidents wife
has died, and to the president eject has
come the celebration of his daughters
one year birthday.
A man who might have become king
of England and emperor of the Indies
died and left fiancee, who was promptly
betrothed to his brother and successor in
the royal liGe. Three great American
miilionaires have gone to the grave, and
the world has sorrowed at the deaths of
Whittier, Whitman and Tennyson, the
notable poets of our day.
Butturn the shield; shut out the record
Of death, disaster and calamity and view
the brighter side. There you may see
the bright promise of prosperity Incl
dent to good crops and fair prices; the
splendid possibilities of the Worlds fair
at Chicago; the growing power and
greatness of the United States; the adj
vancement in science, invention and the
arts, both liberal and Industrial; the
augmentation of knowledge; the in
crease of morality and prosperity, and
rs we consider the various phases of the
years record we cannot but admit that
despite all drawbacks 1892 was a twelve
month in which it was we'll to-live, to
observe, to learn, to suffer and to enjoy.
