OBITUARY.

The grim Reaper has once again
visited our vicinity and removed
from our midst Mary Elizabeth,
daughter Of l.. A. and Anisa Hew.
lett. Born Nov. l, 1889, and de-
parted this life April 9TH, 1895, at
her home on Rove Creek, Ky.
She had been a sufferer for many
months and although 50 young,
she bore all her pains with much
patience. She possessed a wonder
fully bright intellect, and ON many
occasions expressed ideas far in
advance Of her age. She was the
idol OF her parents and all who
knew her.
She was taken to school aud
there before the pupils and visitor:
she admirably sang several songs
among them, "We a little infant
band" to the admiration and ap
plause OF all who heard it.
II was hard for father, mother
brothers and sisters-so hard L
speak the words ave must part.
But God, who doeth all things well
needed one more angel child, anC
with his loving smile bent auC
clasped little Mary's hand and Dor,
her on wings Of love from thii
world Of grief to dwell with Hiu
ON high.
While a link is broken in the
family circle on earth, she and hel
two sisters who preceded her only
short time, are forming a chain In
that Celestial City never more to
be broken.
The bereaved family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community. May God, who Is
always able, administer to their
comfort in this their time OF be-
reavement and sorrow.
This lovely bud so young and fair
Called hence by early doom,
Just come to see how sweet q
flower
In paradise could bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care
The opening bud to heaven con
veyed
And babe it blossom there.

II this country should throw iii
minis open to free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, what a picnic il
would be for silver mine owners o.
other countries. They are now get.
ting about fifty cents an ounce FOL
silver; under free coinage they
could bring their silver here and
coin an ounce into a dollar, de-
mand a gold dollar for it, and take
the gold home with them. Thus.
and in other ways, tie silver would
soon drive out the gold, and in our
dealings with other countries VT
would lose the difference between
bullion value and the face value Of
our money. Give us an interna-
tional agreement before free end

The theories of extremists are
nearly always dangerous. The
wisdom of the free coinage of the
