"The Ohio river flows through or
between the six great States of
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Those six States have q combined
area of 244,455 square miles. They
contained 17,570,514 people five
years ago, or nearly three tenths of

Listened to His Own Funeral Sermon.

The funeral sermon of a living man,
plain old Lorenzo Dow Mckinney, at
which he was present, was preached
at Fallen Timbers, near Portsmouth,
Ohio, last Sunday, to an assembly of
5000 people in a grove Of oaks. Rev.
Forest Evans conducted the ceremo-
MES. Just behind him sat the man
whose sermon he preached. Incongru-
tiles in the shape of hokey-pokey,
ginger bread, popcorn, lemonade, with
all the accompaniments, were discord-
antly present. A committee Of eight
venerable men, in lieu Of pall-bearers,
conducted the subject to the platform.
They had all known him from youth.
The gray-haired Jared Brakeman,
nearly ninety years old, started sing
ing Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul, and
the eight thousand voices Joined in.
Then The Sweet Bye-and-Bye was
sung, after which came the sermon.
The text was The Time of Ny depart
ure Is Now at Hand" At the COR
clusion the hymn Are You Washed
in the Blood Of the Lamb was sung.
and then by invitation the congrega-
ton filed by taking leave of the de-
parted, tearfully shaking him by the
hand.

Storm in Berkeley County.

A very severe thunder and rain
storm passed over Berkeley county
last Sunday afternoon, by which a
great deal of damage was done. The
lightning was sharp and the thunder
terrific, while the rain fell in torrents.
Lightning struck the corncrib on the
place of Mr. John B. Files, partly de-
molishing it and stunning some OF the
people at the house. Three cattle be-
longing to Mr.. Robert McWilliams
were killed during the storm, and Mr..
Hays lost two. The flooded streams
caused some loss to crops and fencing.

VIII Rebuild the Mill.

We are glad to announce that
Messrs. A. S. Reynolds & Co. have de-
cided to rebuild their Touring mill de-
stroyed by fire over year ago. They
will at once erect a building on the
site of the old mill, and of about the
same description. The contract for
the machinery has been placed with
B. F. Starr & Co., of Baltimore, who
will put in a 25-barrel equipment, to-
gether with a complete cornmeal and
feed outfit. The mill will not be a
large one, but it will be model one
its machinery of the very best in every
respect. The contract stipulates that
the mill is to be ready for operation
by the 18th of August. The large
iron water-wheel will be used as the
motive power, a device in the way of
gearing guaranteeing its efficiency,
Messrs. A. S. Reynolds & Co. have not
vet decided whether they will lease the
mill or run it themselves. If they
manage it themselves they will intro
duce some new methods of great bene-
fit to the farmers and their customers.
