OBITUARY.
NANCY ELIZA KILsBY.


There passed away on Sunday
morning Oct. 18, quiet, cheerful
life, beautiful in home radiency and
delicate in the perfume of a con-
scientious Christianity a life like a
flower in some hidden nook by the
wayside seldom seen and only rarely
lifting it's modest head to the occa-
sional traveller, but which sheds
within it's bounds brightness which
adorns and a sweetness which
charms and compels attention. Mrs.
Kilsby was a most lovely woman,
her character was of that unassum-
ing and secluded nature which does
not shine outside its immediate
home circle, but there it illumines
and radiates. Born in Dingman
township, Feb. 13, 1889 she has al
ways resided in the home in which
her life was ended. Her illness only
ante dated for few days her pas
sing away. With a constitution
naturally delicate it needed only the
grasp of pneumonia to shake off the
fetters which bound her to this life
of toll and care, and allow her spirit
to enter upon its everlasting reward.
She leaves a husband John w. Kills
by, childless and alone to mourn his
irreparable loss. She is also survived
by one brother, D. v. Drake and one
sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Partridge, of
Brooklyn. The funeral was held
from her late residence Tuesday.
Rev. Thos. Nichols officiating and
her remains were laid at rest in our
beautiful home of the dead.

don's mill and Travis place Sunday

plaid on one side and black on the
other. Finder will be suitably re-
warded by leaving same at Angle

TRY IT AND SEE,

Whatever may be said about the
publications Of Rev. Irl r. Hicks
by those who do not fully under
stand the facts, there is no deny~
ing the truth that his paper and AL.
manac have come to stay. His
splendid journal, WORD 81 Works,
is now entering it's tenth year,
largely increased in circulation
and in every way improved, until
itdeseryes the national reputation it
has attained. His 1897 Almanac is
DOW ready and is by far the finest
and most beautiful be has yet les u
ed. 1t contains 108 pages, lnclud-
ing cover artistically printed in
col0rs, and is filed from back to
back with Just what lie wanted IN
every shop, Office and home in
America. One of the features of
the Almanac tor 1897 is a series Of
IL original, beautifully engraved
star maps, with explanatory chap
ters, which could not be bought for
less than five dollars in any work
on astronomy. As Mr.. HicKs has
SO correctly and faithfully warned
the public Of coming droughts, foods,
cold waves, bllzzards, tornadoes
and cyclones, in the years passed,
aside from the other varied and
splendid features of his paper and
Almanac, these considerations a.
lone should prompt every family to
subscribe at once for 1897. The
Almanac is only 25cts. . copy.
Word and Works Is one dollar q
year, and . copy of the fine Alma-
mac goes as premium with every
yearly subscription. Write to Word

TWO WISE GEESE AND THE. PIGS

y gentleman living in Eastern Georgia
owned pair of geese and some half grown
pigs, both of which rcsorted to IL small
plum thicket on the hillside to pick up
the fallen fruit
n small branch of one of the trees was
broken and bent down to the ground and
the geese had somehow discovered that
by catching the end of the branch in their
bills and shaking the tree by means of it
they could bring down the plums.
The pigs, seeing what was going on,
soon found it to their interest to follow
the geese to the plum thcket.
The geese would shake the tree, and the
sound of Il grateful shower of fruit would
be heard, and before they could eat the
plums the pigs would have greedily gath
cred up most OF them. Greatly eXasper
ated, and with good reason, one of the
geese would seize II pig by the ear, while
the other marched and scolded. In this
way, beating poor, screaming piggy on
the other side of him with their wings mt
every step, they would escort him to the
top of the hill and there let him go.
Then they would return and shake the
tree again, with IL similar result
