IN MEMORIAM.

Mr.. G. w. d. Hutcheson was born
October 2, 1874, and died April 7, 1897.
Time is winging us away
To our eternal home;
Life is but winter day,
a journey to the tomb.
Just as the new day came, Mr..
Hutchinson fell asleep in Jesus; sur
rounded by weeping relatives and
friends, his soul returned to the God
who gave it, Now he slumbers I'M
stained by sin, and unterrified by any
assault of life. Who would have him
exchange his harp of gold, his crown
of glory, his robe of righteousness, for
the titful enjoyment of this world and
the sorrows of this life? He professed
religion in early life, and ever after
ward was consistent member of the
Methodist Church. Though suffering
greatly during his sickness he never
complained, but was always ready to
talk about religion with his friends.
The writer visited him during his long
illness, and we never heard any one
talk more calmly about death. He was
ready and willing to die. When satifed
that the time of his departure was near
at hand, he delivered to each member
of his family an earnest charge re-
specting personal obligations to God,
and urging them all to meet him in
Heaven. And as he lived such true
christian, we do not doubt his safety
in that happy land, where we will all
meet to part no more.
Dear children, always remember your
fathers good advice. Strive to live
right, and by so doing, you will meet
| your loved one again. Mr. Hutcheson
had many friends in our neigh borhood ;
he was loved and respected by all; he
was a kind and loving husband, an
affectionate father, and good neigh
Dor, and will be sadly missed. May all
who desire a happy life, peaceful
death, and heaven beyond, initiate his
example. A very large concourse of
friends followed his remains to their
last resting place. His pastor, whom
he loved, preached his funeral sermon,
after which he was laid in old Goshen s
cemetery, to await the resurrection
morn, when all of Gods children will
come forth again, clad in Immortality
and will ascend to reign with God and
the holy angels. There we will never
have to tell our friends goodbye; in
that fair land all will be peace and love
forever and forever.
Oh how sweet it will be,
In that beautiful home,
So free from all sorrow and care,
With songs on our lips,
And harps in our hand,
To meet our friends again.
A FRIEND.

ing to his native county, Maury, he was
married to Miss Mamie Coffee. Two
children blessed the union--a son and
daughter--who, with his devoted wife,
survive him. He was never stated
member of any church, but was a pro-
found student of the precious Word and
was never know to turn his back upon
any moral christian movement, but
always aided and encouraged the
progress of such. As father, his coun-
sci was kind and affectionate; as hus-
band, he was devoted to her whom God
gave to him. The funeral services were

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial
consists Of a food already digested and
a digester of foods happily combined.
The Importance OF this invention will be
appreciated when we realize what pro-
portion of the community are victims of
some form of stomach troubles. Thous-
ands of pale, thin people have little
inclination to eat, and what they do eat
causes them pain and distress. This Di-
gestive Cordial OF the Shakers corrects
any stomach arrangement at once. 1t
makes thin people plump. Every one
will be greatly interested to read the
little book which has been placed in the
hands Of druggists for free distribution.

NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Five Western Universities Will Play
Each Other Next Season.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Five Western univer-
stiles were organized into the Western In
tercolegiate Baseball League in this city
to-day The following clubs will compose
the league: University of Michigan, Univer
sity of Chicago, University of Illinois, Uni
versity of Wisconsin and Northwestern
University. Manager Keith. of Michigan,
was elected president and l.. E. Fischer,
of Illinois, secretary. A series of three
games will be played between each of the
clubs. The season opens April g. with
Northwestern VS.. Illinois, at Champagne,
and closes June IL. with Chicago VS.. Michi
gan, at Detroit. and Illinois VS.. Wisconsin,
at Madison. 1t was agreed to have regu-
lar corps of umpires to officilte throughout
the season. 1t is probable they will be
chosen from old National and minor league
players. The distribution of gate receipts
caused q warm discussion, because some
Of the colleges draw better crowds than
others. A compromise was finally reached
whereby the visiting team can either accept
a guarantee or demand half of the gate re-
ceipts The place of playing the odd game
between each of the clubs will be decided by
lot
