Will be an honest currency. And you
can't drive him out of that circle. He
will tell you that an honest dollar Is
one that can be melted without losing
any of its value, that the coin and bull
lion values are the same. but he does not
seem to realize that they are SO because the
currency law says so. When you open
the mints to silver the same will
be- equally true Of that metal. The story
of the 50-cent dollar and turning 63
cents worth OF metal into dollar is not
worthy Of the consideration of earnest
men and students OF economy. 1t is sug-
gestive rather OF the story OF Ignatius
Donnelly about the boy on railroad
train who astounded the other passengers
by advancing very strange and wonderful
doctrines. 1t was seen that he had listen
ers who believed and then his mother
said: "Dont' pay any attention to the

Seriously Injured,

Last Friday Mr.. j. Z. Browning.
residing near Deer Park, was struck
by an engine near Altamont and
seriously if not fatally injured. He
was walking along the track on his
way home from Wilson's store, Just
below Altamont, when an eastbound
train passed him. Immediately
after west bound train came along
and Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Browning was entirely off the
track the bumper of the engine
struck him in the back Just below
the shoulders. He was thrown with
terrific force down an embankment
and sustained serious injury by
coming IN contact with stump.
He was picked up by the trainmen
and taken to Deer Park where he
received medical attention. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that his
left shoulder had been dislocated
and that he was suffering from in.
ternal injuries. At this time his
condition is somewhat improved
but hopes for his recovery by his
family are not very strong. Mr.
Brownlng,s age is 60 years. He j,

Hector Sinclair.

Hector Sinclair died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Jacob Friend,
near Gran berry Glade, on the I'd
of September. He was born May
10th, 1912, making him over "a
years old. He was a member Of the
Methodist Episcopal church sixty
eight years. He married a Miss
Schooley. sister to VIM. Schooley.
who died several years ago.
Brother Sinclair was a licensed
exhorter in the church for many
years and did heroic service in that
capacity in the days when an ex-
hortation after the sermon was the
rule and when conversions were
common in the ordinary service.
Many friends and relatives mourn
the loss of the good man. He was
not an educated man in the mod
ern idea of education, but was
mighty IN the Scriptures and full of
faith and the Holy Ghost.
Brother Sinclair did not carve
his achievements on the arches and
pyramids of time, but made the
world the better by his having lived
in it. Powerful in prayer, uncom-
promising in his allegiance to his
Sovereign, he lived, believed, sang,
prayed and labored for the good OF
others. Long live the memory OF
good old Father Sinclair.
An hour before he died he sang,
"Jesus lover of my soul" and SAID,
'1et us pray Most of his last
moments were moments of prayer.
Brother Sinclair's life and death
was a grand illustration of the truth
of the Scripture: "The steps of 6
good man are ordered by the Lord
