Tribute of Love.

How beautiful to walk in the steps of the
Saviour"
Yes, witnessed, experienced and YER
flied all along through the varying
changes of earthly pilgrimage, and if
ever emphasized by Heavens seal of
reality, at the close of a life who has
been continually stepping in the
light, lit was when the angel came for
that good woman, Mrs. c.. w. Moore
of D%eerbrook, whose spirit, accompan-
led by Heavens escort, took its flight
Dec. 10th, 1896.
She was a noble woman, a devout
christian, who was granted sixty one or
two years of earthly experience, which
she used in faithfully performing the
duties of this life and zealously serving
her God.
Never faltering, w wavering,
never failing, when opportunity was Of
fered, to raise her voice in a word of
praise for her Master, the light radia-
ting from her pure Christian character
all along through the journey of life to
the end, lingering like the glowing rays
of a setting sun, vas beautiful and
grand. She has been removed from
earthly walk, but the enobling inhu
ence of her godly life remain to beckon
others up the cleaning heights to whose
summit she has climbed.
She had many friends who deeply
sympathize with her relatives and sor
rowing family in their great loss, which
they SO sincerely But grieve
not, friends, though it is hard to say
farewell to one around whom the ten
derest affections of life is entwined. yet
the Father she loved SC well has willed
it SC, and promises you grace for this
and all other trials.
She will be sadly missed in her fam
ily, among her friends and in the
church, but there is comfort in the
knowledge that among' redemption's
throng is the triumphant church, her
voice is mingling with Heavens choir,
and waiting back the sweet refrain,
Will you meet me? .

What ShuquaIaK Is Doing.

EDITOR BEACON The organization
of the young Men Business League
of S%huqualak was effected for the pur-
pose of promoting the business interests
of the town, also to secure a strong CO
operation in the effort to restore the for.
mer good order and moral conditions
that made S|huqualak once the highest
toned and most orderly town in the
state. The League is composed of our
business men and other citizens who feel
al interest in the welfare of the place
from a business, educational and moral
standpoint. They are in earnest in their
purpose to remove from our midst all
Objectionable elements that mar the
moral order and blur the fair name of
the little city. The blind tiger, wheth-
err located or walking, whether right in
the town or near by, they are deter
mined to uproot and destroy. And, l
am sure, every man of us who has pro-
per self respect, and who regards the
happiness and pleasure of his family to
be of much value, will lend his inau-
ence and sentiment to the effort to rid
the community of every trace of its ex-
istence.
Aswagon yard will loon be open for
the accommodation of wagoners who
trade here. This is an excellent thing
and its establishment shows the spirit
of enterprise and progress that perme-
ates our citizenship.
The school is now the pride of the
town as in former years. The old bell
peals out the gladdening notes fsom the
new large hall that was erected by the
citizens in the summer, calling the
youths from every home to the fountain
of intellectual and moral knowledge
they so much need for future usefulness.
All | ask of our good people is the uni
ted support and cooperation | always
had before l left them in 1893. With
this, and | know | will without excep-
ton have it, | will give them as good
educational advantages as are had any
where in the state, God being our
strength and wisdom, as in Him we
trust and hope.
