OBITUARY.--Mrs. Mary Jack

OBITUARY. Mrs. Mary Jack
son was born Feb. 18th, 1928, and
died at her home near Bunker
Hill, West Va, April I'd, 1898.
Maiden name, Mary S. Haines.
She was married to her now be-
reaved husband, Mr.. Josiah Jack
son, March 4th, 1S47. Mrs. Jack
son was the mother of9 children !;
only one of these, Albert, the
youngest son, was permitted to
be present at her death-bed. Our
departed sister was converted
and joined the M. E. Church,
when only 16 years of age. From
girlhood her christian life was
marked by strong faith in Christ
and accomplishing resignation
to the will of the Infinite. After
a long life of faithful, loving SER
vice, gladly given to her Lord
and her loved ones, it was proper
for her to meet the dread mes
senger of death without fear, for
her life's work was well done and
she was ready for eternal glo-
ry. Just at the dawn of Easter
day her happy spirit left these
mundane shores and swept in
through the gates of Pearl to join
the Angelic choirs and chant the
praises If the risen Lord. The
funeral sermon was preached by
the writer before a large con-
course of friends, both old and
young, and then we laid the
time-worn body away to await
the resurrection of the Just.

The sending of a representa-
tave to Hawaii by Mr.. Cleveland
on his own responsibility, the
hauling down of the American
flag, the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can protectorate, have met with
severe criticism from statesmen
and citizens of all parties. All
admit that America, sooner or
later, must save Hawaii from
foreign powers peacefully it had
been done. At the cost of war
it may have to be done.

This is certainly good news, as
when the steam engine is working
in good order we have no fear of
a confagration in this town. Mr.
Halphen informs US that he would
like to have $50 more feet of hose;
he has now only 900 feet of good
