The Beautiful Expression ofan Hon
orabIc Friendship Between Men.
Wa,ercc Messenger
In this age Of hurry, hustle and sell
fishncss men seldom stop to show deeds
Of real friendship. 1t is for this rea-
son that some writer's call friendship
"a lost art" When an act of true
friendship is manifested it delights
the hearts OF oil true mon, charming
like the sweetest music.
One OF the most prominent men that
has ever lived in our town was Gen.
John ID. Kennedy, Last spring death
touched him and he was not-for God
had taken him. While living he and
Mr.. Names Baum seemed the closest
OF friends. They were continually in
each others company. For each other
they had nothing but kind words and
loving deeds. No sooner did tho sad It'd
ings reach Mr.. Baum that Gen. Kennc-
dy was dead, than he ordered his store
closed in respect to his memory. 1t
was not opened unit. the body Of tho
dead hero was sleeping under the
shadow Of the trees in our lovely city
Of tho dead.
M". Baum's friendship did not stop
at the silent grave. In his heart there
fingered the angel Of devotion. TO
honor his departed fricnd he has given
the Presbyterian church u beautiful
marble memorial. Upon it, in letters
Of gold, appear these words:
In Memory of
| GENERAL JOHN DOlsY KENNEDY,
| Born
| January 3, 1910;
Died
| April II, 1896.
From early manhood he was de.
voted and earnest member of !his
church, and served it faithfully both
us deacon aud ruling elder. He was
especially beloved by the young peo
pie OF the church, and as the Jealous
teacher Of a largo Bible class had ron
dcrcd valuable service. He was taken
from Ms in his prime, and when he
seemed most needed.
THE voice at midnight came,
| lie started up to hear:
\ mortal arrow pierced his fame.
lie fell, but felt no icar.'
Truly'this worthy decd Of Mr.. Baum's
deserves the highest communication
Truly he has demonstrated, that will
him, friendship is moro than an empty
name,
"A charm that lulls to sleep,
shade that follows wealth or fame
And leaves the wretch to weep
With him friendship is u boon 0

delight and pride. For years to com,
