DIED.

EDDINs-In this city, Sunday morning, February 28, 1897, Mrs. H. B. EDDINs, of heart failure; aged 72 years.
 The death of the deceased occurred at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Alexander, with whom she made her home, and was sudden and unexpected. Saturday night she complained of feeling unwell, and retired at an early hour, and was accompanied by her little grandson, who slept in the same room. During the night she made no noise whatever, but Sunday morning when Mrs. Alexander went into her mothers room to awaken her, she found the venerable lady in the cold embrace of death. Her life had gone out like light in the night, and her peaceful soul had passed to the spirit land to receive It's reward.
 
 The deceased was the mother of Mrs. w. B. Alexander and Mr. Joe Eddins, of this city, and MT. Sam Eddins, of Mon ticello. She was devout Christian, devoted mother, and most estimable, venerable and venerated lady. 1
 The funeral took place from the First Methodist Church, of which the deceased was member, at 10 o'clock this morning, Rev. A. 0. Evans officiating.
 To the bereaved family, relatives and friends, we extend our sympa- thy and cendolenee.

Around the World In Thirty Days.

Perhaps you've never read Jules Vegne's thrilling story Around the World In Eighty Days. |" When it was written. the author thought he was tell ing very big story, indeed, and so did every one else. The idea, said his read CTS, of travelling 90, 900 miles in so daysl Preposterousl
 But since then many travellers have made the trip in less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to make it ill 80 days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will com plete their famous Transsiberian rail. road, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia. Starting from New York, the tr1veler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of Franco. Here he may take a train which will whirl him over Europe and Asia and put him down at Pacific port. From this point he may ship to San Francisco and catch train for New York. It i: calculated that the faro for the trip will not be more than $500 CT $400.
 If this railroad building keeps on, there will soon be no parts of the world left for onr boys to explore. --Chioage Record

THE THRIFTY Chinese in Chicago are
trying to obtain for themselves the
privilege of suffrage, having already
learned that votes in this country are
not only purchasable, but a valuable
commodity. According even to repub-

million dollars were paid for them last
wear, as much as $3.50 900 having been
thrown away for them in Virginia; and
as the love of money springs eternal IN
the human breast, it is only natural that
