is 500 for each 100 voters over 5000

voters over $4,000 and under $4,000, so
cents. An itemized statement of actual

Obituary.

Elizabeth Tombelson was born August
"a, 1s45, and departed this life January
s, 1895, aged 40 years, 4 months and IA
days. She was married to Isaiah Swiss.
helm, February 8, 1865. To them were
born six children, three sons and three
daughter, all of whom arc living, and
were present during the last days of her
sickness, to administer to her wants and
do all that earthly friends could do, but
no lovidg hand could stay the hand of
death.
During January of 1887. under the
labors of Rev. S. Lane, she united with
the M. E. Church, and lived an accept
able member until her death. She had
been in poor health for months past, and
had not been permitted to meet in the
house of God as often as formerly, but,
by her anxious inquiries and words of
hope it was known that her heart was
in the work.
She was of quiet and timid nature,
being known best by those with whom
she was most intimatly associated. To
know her truly was to love her.
Her home was her most treasured
spot, where she ever, with loving hands,
labored for the happiness and welfare
OF those she loved.
Being of kind hearted disposition,
she was ever ready to aid those around
her in any way possible, ready with an
apen hand for any work of charity that
presented itself, always interested in
the welfare of the church and the ad.
vancement of the cause of Christ.
The last days of her life and especially
the last twenty. -four hours, her sutferings
were intense. But she bore them with.
out murmur or complaint.
The last day of her life she called her
husband to her bedside. and, with re
peated effort tried to talk, but the power
of speech had gone. No doubt che had
many words of hope and consolation for
her ramily. But those words remain
forever unspoken. All night long, friends
and neighbors watchdd by her bedside,
expecting the messenger to call at any
moment. But she fingered until the
light OF the new day was dawning on
this cold dark earth, then her spirit
took its flight to that land of eterna'
day, where the Son of Righteousness
forever shines.
The interment took place in the Hills
boro cemetery last Thursday morning

There il general cry all over the
country for cheaper bread. It Is claimed
that the reduction in the price Of flour
is no advantage to the consumer who
buys his bread. From the newspapers
We learn that up in Port Huron the
bakers in response to general demand
OF the citizens, reduced the price OF
bread from FIVE cents pet, loaf to two
cents. The result was that all the citi.
zens ceased to bake bread and began to
buy Of the bakers. The trade of the
bakers increased so largely that they
made as much money on their two cent
bread as they had previously made on
five cent loaves, the housekeepers saved
fuel, time and temper, and the consum
ers obtained good bread. With -four at
half its former price why should rat the
price Of bread be reduced correspond.
ingly? The bakers of Port Huron are
said to be entirely satisfied with the
new order OF things.
Speaking Of bread, what's the matter
with meat? The prices of the butcher,
it is claimed, haven't defined, even
though the farmer gets less for his stock.
Sheep are cheaper than ever known, but
the price of mutton still hangs up on
the same high hook.
These articles are the living OF the
poor, whose work has ceased or whose
wages have gone down.
Rents, also, still keep away up. The
poor man with less employment and
lower wages, wouldn't like to see lower
prices in the essentials of living.
If the producer must take less for his
products, why shouldn't the consumer
get them for less This is the conundrum
that many are seriously considering.
They are longing for the exemplifcation
of the old adage, "Live and Let Live"
There's something unfair in the econ.
omic conditions when farm products 60
down without any benefit to the con
sumner.

SERMON TO THE SOLDIERS.
DIR. TurnbulI's Special Sermon to the
Durham Light Infantry.

The Presbyterian church was crowded
Yesterday by those who wished to hear
the special sermon TO the Light Infantry
by their Chaplain, Rev L. B. Turnbull.
The soldier boys presented a very fine
appearance as they filed in and took
their seats in the front of the middle
block of pews. The front pew was occu-
pied by Capt. J. Fl. Sneed, Major I. }.
Winston and Lieutenants B. O. Woodall
and W. Fl. Riddick. The subject of the
preachers discourse was the Christian
Soldier, and he took for his text the 7tb
and Sth verses of the 4th chapter OF 2nd
Timothy: 81 have fought a good hight,
| have finished my course, | have kept
the faith, henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of Righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me
at that day, and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his appear
ing"
The Bible, he declared, was manual
of war, and that of the greatest war OF
which any record can be made. Paul was
the model soldier, who enlisted under
Christ his Captain as soon as he ap-
peared to him. First he spent three
years in Arabia in the study Of the tao
tics to be used in the great fight for
which he was preparing.
The campaigns of Paul we've touched
upon in a most interesting way to show
that he waged an aggressive as well as
defensive warfare and invaded llbidinous
Corinth, skeptictal and idolatr0us Ephe
sus, soothing Athens and lastly imperial
Rome. He showed the character of the
forces to be fought against and declared
that the devil is person-the second
in power and intelligence inthe Universe
his powers have been sharpened by ex
perience and his emissaries have taken
advantage of all the inventions and dis
coveries of the age and houses them
against the Christian soldier. There can
be no peace in his warfare no truce no
parole Those who emil must serve
for life. This conflict is now on, no one
is exempt from service on account of
age or sex, no infrmity can be taken as
an excuse.
He then showed what Captain Christ
is, how he measures up to the standard
of the ideal commander in every respect
and is with his soldiers under all diff
culties and makes their success and
reward sure He provides no armor for
the protection of the back, which shows
that safety can only be expected by those
who continually face the enemy All
who strive under this banner viii wear
the yictors crown. 1t was a very fine
sermon and made an excellent impress
sion on all who heard it.
At the close of the services the con
gregation waited while the soldiers
marched out.
The pastor announced that commun-
ion services would be held at the church
on next Sunday and that hereafter the
services of all the city churches at night
would begin at 1870. Nine new mem
bers were admitted to Main Street NJ.
