Going to Colorado?

The climate of Colorado is particu-
larly delightful at this season and no
one who can afford it should miss the
trip. Why swelter in the heat OF
your section when such gloriously
cool summer resort is within a few
hours ride and railroad fares so reas-
onahle? The Union Pacific is OF
course the most desirable route to Col
orado. When in Colorado all of the
resort points and magnificent scenery
is easily and cheaply reached via the
Gulf Road on the South Park line.
Please write us for copies of our beau
tiful literature on this great state.

JOHN DILLON COMING.
The Brilliant Comedian to Be Here
Oct. 8.

Manager Pattison has secured the
we'll known comedian, John Dillon,
for an appearance here Oct. 5 in
"Wanted, the Earth" Over 100
seats have been sold in advance.
The comedy is everywhere pro-
nounced a great success, sparkling in
wit and original situations, yet REIN
ed throughout and with an under
lying vein Of satire as delicious as it
is pointed.
Mr.. Dillon has surrounded himself
with company of actors and actresses
among whom his old-time brilliancy
versatility shine forth in undiminish-
ed splendor.

ed glory never ending was with him to
the last.
Funeral services will be held at the
house on Monday next, at 5 o'clock
p. M, Rev. DR.. Haithcox officiating.
The sister Of the deceased, Mrs. &.
F. Fisher, Of Ohio can not come.
He was an honored member Of G.
A. r. Post, No. 6S, which will attend
the funeral in a body.
DR.. Hodge was married August
22nd, 1S47, to Miss Olive M. Tinker Of
Bolivar, Ohio, the wife who after al
most half century Of loving COM
radeship is left to mourn the passing
over the river Of the ever kind and
devoted husband. Their welded life
was one Of almost unequallea beauty
and the delights that came to one
were always shared with the other.
1t makes it hard for her who is left
but there comes the consciousness Of a
blessed meeting beyond the valley Of
death.
Two sons, Charles A. and Herbert
j., are alone the children who stand
beside the Borrowing wife and mother.
The tender care that they have exer-
cised for the beloved father has made
his latter days full Of peace and JOY.
To them and to the mother go out
the sincere sympathy ofall. William
S. Hodge Of this city, brother and
a sister, Mrs. G. F. Fisher Of Ohio are
the other remaining near relatives.
Abilene loses one of Its worthiest
residents in the death Of DR.. Hodge.
He honored the city OF his adoption
as it honored him. His departure
takes another name from the list Of
those who built here beautiful
home city and helped to make it what
it is.
While it is true that aye treads
heavily a path strewn with falling
leaves. yet many of these, tinted and
shriveled by frosts, are petals whose
perfume constitutes a sweet memory.
1 The farther a soul has traversed such
path the higher is its perfection,
the more lustrous its immortal
beauty. In the ending days Of many
years the human mould becomes
fragile and the precious porcelain
breaks and in falling becomes clay
again; but it is only the clay
that falls. The flower blooms per-
ennial; the PROSTATE grain in Its
resurrection breaks its seeming
thraldom and fruits anew. The
grave is not even hating place, for
Life is onward. Loosed from Its
earthbound tenement the soul finds
its full development in the haven o
the Blest. Such a change has CONF
to him whose life was strong and
helpful and who now lies still II
death.

The Democrats Of the county who
opened the News this week expecting

find that that usually enterprising
paper utterly neglects to tell the
politics OF the candidates nominated

replied that it was a falsehood. Has
the News entirely surrendered this

Death ofD T.. Graves.

The announcement of the death of d. E. Graves
was what was universally expected, although
hopes for his recovery were entertained by many
friends, even after medical skill had declared that
such could not be. From the time of the an
nouncement of his illness until his death wide
spread and sincere interest in his condition was
manifested. That a young man with bright pros.
poets, happy home and the unlimited respect
and confidence of the community at hand should
be cut dowl in the full vgor Of lie, makes the
case particularly sad one Mr.. Graves was born
in Mt. Holly, this state, August -, 1858. The
greater part of his life was spent in Mt. Holly and
Mechanicsville where he was engaged as a wood
turner. He married Oct r. 1891, Miss Eva Daw-
son of East Wallingford, who survives him with a
daughter, Mamie, II years old. He leaves also
an aged mother and four brothers.
Seven years ago he came here and entered the
employ of the Stowell Manufacturing company
and has been employed there and at +. L. Perce's
the greater part Of the time He joined the Knights
of Honor December -, 1892, and was grand diCta-
tor of the Delta lodge at the time of his DEATH
He was a probationary member Of the Methodist
church of MechaniCsville and a member of the
Epworth league here. Two weeks ago he was
taken i'll with the grip, which developed into
pneumonia, from which he died at 1913 o'clock
Saturday night. His home life was characterized
by the utmost devotion and thoughtfuness. He
was manly man; quiet and transformations: and
by a strict adherence to the policy of constancy
faithfulness and integrity had won position Of
marked popularity among his fellowworkmen
and associates, and in the church and lodge
rooms
Following prayer at the house, funeral services.
