un-American principles thrust forward of
late; but much as would regret the entire
Identification of any religious body as such
with any political body, am convinced that
the members of religious body whose rights,

the party which has the courage openly to
avow the principles of civil and religious lib.

Patience is virtue; but it is not the only

Mrs. Sophia l.. French Beattie, wife
of High Sheriff Thomas {. Beattie, died
on Wednesday evening December 2, after
a serious illness of only few days dura-
ton. The funeral services were held at
her late residence on Main street Friday
December 4, at 2 o'clock p. M, Rev. Mr..
Brown of Stratford officiating Although
Mrs. Beattie had been an invalid for the
past ten years and was a great sufferer,
still no thought was entertained that she
should so suddenly pass away. Mrs.
Beattie was born in Brunswick, VT, Oct
knew her, especially the children, as she
had the faculty of drawing the younger
people around her, sharing all their troub-
les and joys. Oct. %, 1885, she was
married to Thomas {. Beattie, and in
January 1890 came to Lancaster to re.
side, forming large circle of friends who
will miss and sadly mourn the loss of one
who was ever ready to lend a hand to all
things worthy. Beside the husband to
mourn: her loss, she leaves an aged father,
John d. French of Brunswick, Vt, two
sisters, Cecilia NJ. wife of ]. H. Beattie
and Josephine, wife of Leslie NJ. Schoff,
also two brothers John n. and Canning
French. Mr. Beattie and the immediate
family have the sincere sympathy of their
large circle OF friends.

A Good Investment.

knowledge is power" according to
the old adage, hut it is also said that a
man never knows thing until he can
tell it, and he who can express his knowl-
edge in language more terse, vigorous.
and appropriate than others becomes a
leader OF men. In gaining this power Of
expression as well as knowledge itself
there is no aid so helpful. from which SO
much may be obtained, and for so small
an outlay as WEBsTER's INTERNATIONAL
DICTIONARY. This work is the univer-
sally acknowledged standard for the
derivation, spelling, pronunciation, and
meaning OF words. and with its numer-
Gus tables OF useful and reliable informa-
ton it quickly and satisfactorily
answers the thousand and one questions
which are constantly arising in our read
ing and study. The purchase of this
source of knowledge and power will
prove a profitable investment for every
household, and forevery teacher, scholar,
professional man, and selfeducator.
