left behind in seeking the lost ones, and
assisting the wanderer back to God. We

who enters his service he opens the store

A Somewhat Noted Character Climbs the
Golden Stairs-And without Legs.
Sam. Smith, whose death is recorded
in its proper place, was man well
known in this section, although since
early childhood he has never walked a
step, his legs having been as useless
as the fifth wheel to wagon and
far more in the way. This condition
was brought about, it is claimed, by
the use of mercury administered by a
physician when he was small boy.
Notwith standing this serious drawback
Sam managed to support himself the
greater part of the time. Some three
years ago, or about that time, he be-
came town charge and the "last sad
rites" will be paid for by the good peo-
pie in a corporate capacity. Sam earned
his livelihood largely by peddling. He
was in full glory when he had an old
horse and could get some one to pick
him up and set him in his wagon. Then
surrounded by few essences, and other
notions and jug or two of rum he
would drive around, call his customers
out to him and make such sales as he
could. In this way he would attend
fairs and other public gatherings and
in some secluded spot do quite bust
ness. His moral sense was of that elias
tic nature that permitted him to engage
in any trafic that would bring in the FL
thy lucre, and as small dealer in
rum and 'ssich' he had no equal. In
some respects the poor fellow deserved
pity, otherwise he was deSpicable, but
the grave, like charity, often covers a
multitude of sins and the hope fol bet
ter conditions beyond should not be
condemned.
