Pastor Baptist Church
From NAnIa.

Mr.. EDITOR: The estiyal days
of '95 are gone and tho autumnal
are IN their stead. With the going
out of the former and tho coming
in Of the latter many changes
have taken place, many of our
dear friends are no moro, and we
are one year nearer our eternal
resting place.
With the many deaths that have
occurred in the past twelve months
mono have had as percutient effect
on our mind as tho death of our
dear old teacher and beloved friend,
Prof. John O. Davis, which occur
red on the 4th inst Words are
insufficient to express our love for
him and the sympathy We have
for his family. Being one of his
students in days past ard gono and
realizing the good that he has
done in the educational limo (and
We venture to say that no has done
moro along that line than any
other man in Pickens county, de-
voting his whole timo and energy,
about 35 years, to educating both
male and female, preparing them
for business lifo,) we think the
highest tribute of respect that his
many students could pay would be
to throw in, purchase nico tomb
stone, meet and place it on his
grave with an orator to do Justice
to his memory. We therefore
head the list with one dollar and
call on all his students, eithor far
or near, who may feel disposed to
contribute anything, to send their
name and amount to tho editor of
THE PEopLE's JOURNAL. He will
please publish the names and the
amount each ono contributed as
often as he may SEQ fit until the
amount sufficient to. buy nice
tomb is contributed.

Several good citizens have express
ed their willingness to accept of the
propositi on which 1 made last week.
If they get together and talk the
matter over with few more of the
samo opinion, Pickon will have q rail
road in few weeks. Some say that
as J. am to have the profits, I
should take oil the risk. If I were
promised 100000 in township bonds,
L could better afford it. But it is 60
ing to take all of the $17, 900 in town.
ship bonds and tho $4,000 in town
bonds to finish the road. The profits,
if any, will be in operating tho road
which the builders have agreed to do.
1 shall now show my good faith and
fairness by making the proposition
better. I will deposit with the Clerk
of the Court, Maj JIM. Stewart, $780,
600 in first mortgage bonds of the
railroad to indemnify those who sign
the proposed bond to me, to be deliv-
cred to the obligors in case they
should have their bond to pay. But
the chances are against their having
the bond to pay; for I propose to fin
ish the road not only according to
contract, but better than the contract
requires, by not using any pine cross
ties on the grade.
Sixteen thousand dollars worth oil
work, exclusive of cross ties, which
have been discarded, has been done
upon the line. 1t is a good and thor.
oughly practical grade, and all the
bridges are rs good rs new.
The lawyers and laity are alike in
the opinion that tho bonds will have
to be delivered as soon as the road is
built according to the contract.
I just need your credit ninety days
to put this delivery of the bonds be
yond doubt. I do not ask q cent
in aid of the building of the road
Put your heads and hands together
on the bond, and I will put the rails
on the ties and the wheels on the
rails. Respectfully,
Nov. 10Th. JULIUS e. BoaGs.

Always Polite.

Illustrating a case Of real polite
ness, Il story is told of famous
Now York clergyman, as he tells
it. One Sunday, not long ago, he
was going up the steps of his church
when he was asked by an old lady
(who, Of course, did not know
him) to help her up. With his
usual courtly grace he complied
with her request. On reaching tho
top stops, she halted, breathlessly,
and asked him who was going to
preach that day. "The Rev. Mr..
Blank" he replied, giving his own
name. ooh, Lord!" exclaimed
the old lady; "help mo down again.
I'd rather listen to man sharp
ening a saw. Please help mo down
again. I reckon ! won't 60 in"
The clergyman smiled and gently
assisted her down the stairs again,
remarking, as he reached the side
walk: 81 wouldn't go in, either,
If [ wasn't paid for it,"

That's Business.
And Now We All Like 1t.
People came and paid us,
Who never paid before,
And folks who always paid us,
Came and paid us more.
We transact business,
In a business way,
Nearly everybody came
And hated to go away.
And they do say that the roads were full
coming on, but owing to the dust there are
q few reported rs not coming at all. Well,
it's a matter Of choice with them whether
they come and settle on easy terms with US
or wait for the BAD MAN. Dust or No
Dust.
THAT BAD UGLY MAN IS now on
half rations; well file his teeth in day or
so and have him in good trim to go on the
war path next month, so aS to "gct in his
work" by Christmas.
You can head him OFF by seeing us. Will
you do it? Some OF you have kept us wait
ing 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, years and longer, wait
ir2 for good easy time to come. 1t won't
come. You must get under one corner and
help us TO bring it; that and that only will
bring it.. There's no use to twist and squirm
! and dodge. The time is about up and
| there's going to he a fuss or foot-race. Your
good neighbors keep their corncrs.up. We
| help them they help us; we all want to
help you. Won't you let us?
| Now is tue time
| Here is the place!
And You are the Man
To help us get our affairs in good shape
We are bound to sift the shoddy out, and
it's matter Of choice with you which side
you fall on. Now this is all we'll say on
this subject.
Next month we will have our hands full
opening up good things for Christmas, and
we want all our good friends to come in

Mrs. Mary Givler died Friday, May
"a, 1895, at her home in Wa-Keeney,
aged 81 years, 10 months and % days.
The funeral services were held in the
M. E. church on Sunday and were
largely attended by her friends and
neighbors. Rev. johnson preached
the sermon from the text, BLESSED
are the dead that die in the Lord"
The deceased was born in Cumber-
land county, Pa, where her youth
was spent and where she was married
to VIM. Giyler, who gave his life on
the field of battle, fighting for his
country, in 1862.
In 1885, Mrs. Givler came to Trego
county and lived here long enough to
prove up on homestead, since which
time she resided in Oregon and To-
peka, returning to Wa-Keeney in 1892
and resided here up to the time of her
death.
Mrs. GiVler was converted when 16
years old and has lived a consistent
christian life from that time until her
death. 1t has fallen to our lot to
know but few as consistent and ex-
emplary christians as she was. Her
faith was strong, her hopes bright
and she was ready to go.
She leaves son and daughter, sew
eral brothers and sister, and host of
friends who thoroughly appreciated
her goodness of character and kindly
disposition, to mourn their loss.
She had suffered long time with
heart disease and had been quite fee
BILE for several years, but was always
patient, cheerful and resigned. Her
life was most beautiful and her death
was peaceful and quiet, the end of a
well spent life. J. +. JOHNSON.
