Last Tuesday morning there was
quite a stir and a great deal of sup
pressed excitement over a report that
there was some yellow fever in Houma.
Many people clamored for a quaran-
tine against u sister town and it
took the counsel of cool heads to
prevent the authorities from taking
hasty action. Fortunately before any
action was taken in the matter of
.Quarantining against infected points
it was ascertained that there was no
foundation for the rnmor which had
caused so much easiness.

GRACE HORNER.

The bright and interesting little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Quincy
Horner, near Arden, died January IS,
1897, at her home, after brief Hines
of few days. Little Oracle was a
very sweet and dear child. and was
the pride of the household. Her
childish prattle and merry laughter
will be sadly missed by her fond par
ents and little sister and little broth
ers. 1t seemed so hard to give her
up, for she had wound herself about
the hearts of all who were about her.
But the loved ones have the blessed
hope of having loving angel, wait
ing with reckoning hands to greet
them on the fair and happy shore,
cover there"
Zone by one earths ties are broken,
AS we see our love decay.
And the hopes SO fondly cherished,
Brighten but to pass away.
One by Que our hopes grow brighter,
AS we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river,
Waits our darling Oracle, gone before

SONG IN THE NIGHT.

Sweeter by far than the songs of the day
Purer than music of gladness and light,
Is the song that bids sorrow and pain
flee away
And comes to the soul in the depths of
the night. -
The heart may grow faint with trials and
fears,
For striving and failing may narrow a
life
To burdens that, crowding the swift
moving years,
Incite us to labor and urge US to strife.
But just when the darkness hangs heavy
and cold,
And storm clouds have hidden the
dead day IS delight,
There comes with its magic sad hearts to
enfold,
The glory grief gives us-a song in
the night.

bath morn, Jan. II, the spirit of
little Bessie Miller, youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. f.
Miller, was called from earth to
heaven-a life so full of hope
and promise for the future
We, as friend, cannot refrain
from expressing our deepest
sympathy for the bereaved par
ents, brothers, and sisters, upon
whom the hand of God has been
laid so heavily. Parents, weep
not for your darling, for she is
now a treasure laid up in bet
ter world, and the gate through
which she has passed to peace
and Joy unspeakable is open,
and when you have finished the
work given you to do, you shall
follow her and be welcomed by
Him into that land. She was
ill but three weeks, but in that
time the disease slowly but sure
ly Slapped her strength away.
She was aged 5 years, 9 months,
and 26 days. The funeral, fol-
lowed by large concourse of
relatives, took place from Har-
mony church, Revs. Rush and
Busey officiating.
The angel came on wings Of love,
And took little Bessie away;
And now she lives with them above
In realms of glorious day.

Did you ever stop to think what in
digestion really means? 1t means
simply that your stomach is tired.
If our legs are tired, we ride. The
horse and the steam engine do the
work. Why not give your stomach a
ride; that is, let something else do its
work. Foods can be digested outside
of the body. All plants contain di-
gestive principles which will do this.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial con-
tains digestive principles and is a
preparation designed to rest the stom-
ach. The Shakers themselves have
such unbounded confidence in it that
they have placed 10 cent sample bot
ties on the market, and it is said that
even so small quantity proves bene-
fetal in vast majority of cases All
druggists keep it.
Laxol is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend it in place
of Castor Oil.
