OBITUARY.


in Monroe county, Va, April %,
1843, and died at his late home in
Garnett, Kansas, July 81, 1895.
When twelve years old he moved
with his parents to Bloomington,
Ills, where he was converted to
God and joined the Presbyterian
church at the age of sixteen. He
was married to Mary II. Walker,
October 8, 1872, at Pendleton, Ind,
and came to Carthage, Mo-, to live.
In 1882 they came to Anderson
county and located near McCabe
Chapel, where they lived for five
years, then came to Garrett. In
1875 he joined the Methodist church
and for three years was superintend-
ent of the McCabe Chapel Sunday
school.
As Christian he was conscien.
tious and loyal to God and the
church to which he belonged. His
influence with men was as broad as
his acquaintance. During his long,
protracted illness and suffering, he,
in a marvellous way, manifested
every grace of true Christian
character. His patience never
failed him, and his faith in
Gods goodness and power to save
was unfalteriDg. His hope in the
future, whether he lived or died,
was like "a strong anchor reaching
to that within the VEIL" His graf
itude to God for His goodness to
him was the daily topic of his con-
versation. Neither was he unmind-
full of the kindness of his friends,
but often said II have the best
Heighbors in the world. They are
so attentive and will do anything
for me-"
He had strong grip on life and
held on with wonderful tenacity and
heroically fought disease, moment
by moment, and when relapses came,
as they often did, he would say al
am ready to CO." and could say
with Paul, "For me, to live is
Christ, but to die is gain"
A month before the final farewell,
he said tc his pastor: al would
like to stay with my family and
friends and help in the church, yet
it would be better to be with Jesus"
When his wife, with whom he lived
so happily, was holding his hand with
affectionate grip, he said: "Hold
me not let me go and be with
Jesus" The last words to his pas
tor were: al am ready to go l am
not disappointed. All is bright and
the blood of Jesus Christ, His son,
cleanseth me from all sin. All lie
WE'LL"
Thus we have before us in the
life and closing victories of our de-
parted brother not only the embodi-
ment Of true Christian principles,
but an exhibition of the power of
God to save in every trying hour all
who trust in Him.
He leaves a devoted wife, two
brothers and two sisters. One
brother is now in Scotland, one in
California, one sister in Crawfords-
vile, Ind, the other in Blooming
ton, Ill.
Funeral services were conducted
by the writer, assisted by Rev. Z.
l.. Combs, of the Presbyterian
church, at the home on Sabbath
evening, at s p. M, in the presence
Of many sympathizing friends and
neighbors. The remains were TAX
en- to Carthage, Mo-. on Monday,
for burial. Let us thank God for
such a life and may it induce us
to prepare meet him in the "sweet
by and bye" P. j. VoLLNAR.

Vacation Time

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties in
life have caused them to greatly run
down their system. With these and
others, it is important, whether at
home, at the seashore or in the coun-
try, that some thought be given to
diet, and as further assistance to Ma
ture, good building-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparla had best be
resorted to, II the digestion is poor,
liver derangedand frequent headaches
seem to be the rule, Hoods will
change all this and enable everyone
to return to their home and business
in refreshed state of mind and bod
ily health.

the gifts Of the fields 1t is held each
year after the wheat Is garnered and
is one Of the most interesting services
in the year.
Several hundred River Brethren at
tended this service and scores Of
teams were hitched in the vicinity Of
the church. Whole families came In
these rigs, many driving half across
the county to be present. Most OF
the congregation was from North
Dickinson, although many from south
Of The river were present.
Elder Samuel Took preached at the
morning service, making an eloquent
and earnest address upon the duty Of
recognition Of divine care in the be-
slowing Of crops to the people.
This afternoon was held a meeting
Of the council and routine church bus
mess was transacted A harvest fes-
tiyal, largely attended was held at

Gold Out Of the Ocean.

You can always trust a Kansas man

Mike Beltzhoover, n brother OF Mrs.
5. 3. Smith, who visited here some
months ago, is now up in Alaska and
has recently struck II rich find. A
gold mining company has been min
ing on the shore OF the ocean, its
claim running down to the high tide
line. Mike noticed that the "tail-
ings" or ore washings were piling up
on the beach and were covered only
at high tide. He went to work and
staked out Il claim on the ocean floor
There was Il lot Of gold in the refuse,
many hundreds of dollars worth.
The company tried to fire him but
could not do it and he is cleaning up
his little find at the rate of $50 day,
working only at low tide when the
pile OF refuse is high and dry on the
beach.

CORN OF THE COUNTY.
What Dickinson Has Raised in the
Past Decade.

The generous rains Of the past few
days have materially helped the Dick
inson "dry belt" and assisted the
suffering corn. While many fields
will come good ways from making a
full crop the aggregate yield of the
county will be large, owing to the
large acreage on account Of wheat
failure and the fact that in some parts
Of the county, notably the north tier
Of townships, a splendid crop will be
produced. In view Of the discussion
over what is to be harvested a re-
sumo Of past yield will be interest
ing. The following figures are from
the state agricultural board reports
made up from township assessors re-
turns.

It will be remembered that in the

M. Keats drove him the rest OF the
race. Club brought Echo in second
in the first heat and Keats landed him
seventh and eighth in subsequent
heats When remark was made to
Mr. Michaels that Echo might have
done better II he had continued driy-
ing, Club commenced to tell how
much better driver Keats was, how he
had driven Pansy Mc(iregcr to beat
the yearling record and had marked
many other fast horses. Anxious to
know what Mr.. Keats opinion was of
Mr., Michaels as driver the subject
was brought up in conversation a
