On the death of MERTIE V. RIMEL,
wife of Charles F. Rimel, October II, 1898,
aged 90 years, II months, and 6 days.
She leaves a husband and two children.
"She is dying, slowly dying,
Art of man can do no more"
Sadly said kind Doctor Hedges,
As he left the cottage door.
Dying" came the whispered echo,
From the patient, loving wife;
as it true that am dying;
Life, how sweet thou art, Oh, Life
Youth is mine, and will and spirit,
That no suffering e'er could tame
Death, thou stern and cruel master,
How shrink from thy dread name"
Must die." again she faltered,
In such tones of helpless woe,
Leave my home and worshiped inmates
Give up all love below?"
Back again the flowing life-stream,
Rippled DER her cheeks of snow,
As she stood in proud defiance,
Murmuring, mo, | will not 60"
But when autumn leaves were falling,
She to Nettie one day said,
Light of heaven shone from her features
"Soon you'n count me with the dead
But the thought no sorrow gives me,
Like the storms that ragged within,
When rebellieus and defiant,
Wrapped in selfish love and sin,
| stood shuddering in the darkness;
Heaven seemed so far away,
Till gave up all for Jesus,
And submissively could say:
Not my will, but Thine, my Father
Now no terror has the grave.
can trust Thy hand to lead me,
Thou, and Thou alone, canst save
When the chill winds of October,
Shook the leaves off-brown and red,
All she loved in deepest sorrow,
Gathered round her dying bed.
When the last 'Good bye" was given,
Look ~ she said, the while her eyes
Shone with radiance from vision,
Of her home beyond the skies
Golden gates are opening wider
All are there-I lost below;
Meet in heaven-0, dear ones, meet me,
Heavenly home; Oh, joy; gow

Mr.. F. w. Trout and son, Joe, re-
turned Saturday from a month S visit
to friends in Nebraska and the Dako-
tas. That they enjoyed the trip is
evident from the glowing account he
gives of their experiences. One thing
in particular struck him forcibly and
that was the big beet-sugar factory at
Grand Island, Nebr, which covers 40
acres of ground and furnishes employ
ment to almost an army of people.
He says the beets are shoveled from
the cars at one end of the factory and
that pure white graduated sugar
comes out at the other end. The fac
tory is one of the results of the Nc
Kinley law, and will, we presume, be
closed when Mr.. Wilson gets in his
work

The fire engine is being repaired at
the B. & o. shops. The Mayor and
clerk, without consulting the council
as body, wrote the president of the
company, asking permission to have
the engine repaired at their shops,
because the work could not be
done n any other establishment
in Martinsburg," yet there are
those who said they could d o it
and who were willing to back up
their word with good and substan-
tial bond Let it be understood we
have no particular objection to the
work being done in the B. & o. shops
but do most positively deny the claim
that the work could not be done at
any other establishment in the city
There is more than one firni here that
could not only repair the fire engine,
but build one if necessary. 1t never
pays to belittle ones own town, much
less to have the city council do so.
