DEATH OF A.. ]. EDWARDS, JR
Lines Dedicated to Mr. and Mrs A. L Edwards Sr.-"Empty Is the Cradle.
 Babys Gone"

Autumna1 leaves and fast-fading flow CTS, failing with grace and beauty, in themselves bring sad memories From the cosy, happy South Highland home, angels with snowy pinions swept rapidly through space, clasping your idolized in- fant in a close, tender embrace and bore him aleft.
 All unconscious of the aching void the entire world can never replace Time only, with it's flattering allurements, can bring healing on it's wings, the only pan acea for such a crushing, unexpected blow.
 Sad. dreary heartsi
 Still the dainty impress of the baby's waxen fingers in and around the dark ened home, the tuneful echoes of the joy and laugh, the tiny, reluctant feet, just touching the glad earth. Now the si- lenee is appalling! It is difficult to real ize that the beauteous, radiant boy Is gone forever. The fond, untiring mother doubtless feels the gentle embrace of the little darling, as lovingly he elapsed the bereayed young mother. Death, With it's accompanying terrors, could not rob the dainty baby of his remarkable beauty. Not to grieve would be unnatural, but remember, Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth." We grovling mortals dare not question His doings or impugn His motives, for He moves in a mysteri-
  scendent in it's brightness. doubtless over- shadows and envelops with a. halo of ineffable tenderness and even enduring love.
 Fourteen months ago tiny, wee bit of humanity, bearing in it's exquisite shape liness and perfect physique the habili- ments of a very cherub came into the world. For only temporary period was he permitted to gladden. and brighten tha now darkened home The dark brown eyes Borrowing lustre from the siSie9 so gently clcsed. Gazing steadfastly, beautiful smiles ever wreathed the dim pied cheek. Unusual preeocious; even strangers were attracted by his phenorn- enal grace and beauty. Fond mother, proud father, doting grandparents and dear little sister, and other admring rel atives, only the little treasure has full filled his mission and now the little frn- age of clay rests beneath the fiower-la- den grave, but his soul rests safe from chilling blasts and winters adverse storms. Naught can marr the beauty and symmetry of mama's and papa's ht- tie lamb only taken in careful arms to attract you heavenward to the baby who will ever be still your precious boy. MRS. ED. WARREN.

Hamilton, Windom and Mordill to cruise along the Atlantic coast from Dec. 1 to April l. for the pur- pose of affording such aid as may be fa- vorable to vessels in distress.

their vote. The action of the committee in the connection will bear the closest scrutiny, and it is deemed unnecessary for the gentlemen of that committee to say anything in reference to any personal reflections made by Mir Ryan. Whether Mr. Ryan represented the Southern ra1l- way company in the proposed purchase IS a matter with which the committee had no concern and they are not responsioipe for what seems to be the universal opln- ion of an intelligent public; that the real object of the proposed purchase was to destroy and absorb the only competitor of that great monopoly and leave the south with its vast business interests completely at it's mercy.

A VICTORY FOR THE SOUTHERN.

Baltimore, Md., Nov. 21.-Judge Morris, of the United States court, has signed an order authorizing the receivers of the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad company to deliver up to the Southern railway pos session of the Strassburg and Harrison burg branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The branch was leased by the Baltimore and Ohio on Aug. 20 1875 from the Washington City, Virginia Midland and Great Southern railway and has be- come property of the Southern railway. Proceedings were recently instituted by the Southern to recover the rental of SS9,- 250 due from the year ended last septenn- ber In their answer to the suit the re- ceivers recommended that the branch be surrendered to the Southern railway, as it was not to the interest of the Baltimore and Ohio to continue the lease. Judge Morris order requires the branch to be surrendered to the Southern railway on Nov. 20 but without prejudice to the Southern's claims for rentals due. The receivers are also to pay the Southern s6,- 607 net earnings of the branch for the six months ended Aug. S1, 1S95, and also the net earnings up to the time of the sur render
