DEATHS HARVEST.
Mrs. Mary Ann Bledsoe.

On the morning of February 20,
1897, at 800 a. M, Mrs. Mary Ann
Bledsoe left "the valley of death 5
shadow" to live henceforth and
evermore in the land where God is
it's light" and shadows are unknown.
She was the granddaughter of
Robert Trierson, who was borne to
his lonely grave amid the cane in
1903, then the first and only occu-
pant of Zion cemetery. She, being
gone, only two of his sixty grand
children remain alive. She was the
daughter Of Thomas James Frierson,
of whose nine children, Mrs. Sarah
Rankin only survives.
Mrs. BledsOe was married about
fifty-three years ago to Enoch Bled
soc of Horn Lake, Miss, and lived
at that place until her husband died
about 1857. She has since made her
home in this county. Forty years
of tender, loving ministry, home
blessing, cheerful, hearty, useful
life. Were any sickness or trouble
in brothers or sisters home, the
first messenger went to her, and she
was the first to come. From Wal
lace, her eldest grand child, to Hey
ward, her youngest, eUery one Of the
twelve will thank God for every re-
membraHce of her. She was the
mother of Mrs. MedOra Brown, wife
of the late S. II. Brown; also Of the
late Mrs. Annie Jones, wife of the
late w. G. Jones; and Of Mrs. Mary
Stephenson, wife OF w. w. Stephen
son.
Had she lived few weeks longer
she would have completed her seven
ty-forth year. A complication of dis
eases were threatening her life; la
grippe, however, was the disease of
which she died. During her ten days
sickness she suffered comparatively
little physical pain, and no mental
trouble whatever, in view of the APP
preaching end. On Sabbath, Feb
ruary 81, at the usual hour of SER
vice, her pastor, Rev. S. p. Halves,
preached from Proverbs, 10Th chap,
3lst verse; "The hoary head is a
crown of glory, if it be found in the
way of righteousness" A sermon
full of cheer to the aged christian and
of sweetest comfort to those who
shall sadly miss, yet will not mourn
for her. Her body was committed to
the earth in Zion cemetery. The
grave is not lonely; eighty eight
years have the old patriarchs' chill
dren been laid beside him.
These words about her life and its
end are true words, but the most
precious and only soul comforting
truth is yet to be told. She trusted
in Jesus Christ for salvation.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord"

Death, in all of its sadness, again
entered our midst on Sunday night
at IL 80 o'clock, and claimed for its
victim little William VOORHEES,, aged
one year and eight months. He
was the youngest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas VOORHEES,. Little Will
lam had been a great sufferer for the
last five months, and death must
have been a great relief to him. All
that loving hands and tender care
could do was done for him, but TO no
avail. The services were held at
the residence, Monday evening at 4
O'Clock, by the Rev. F. B. Webb.
There was large gathering of
friends there to pay their last sad
tribute of love to little William,
after which the remains were car
ried to beautiful Rose Hill and there
laid to rest to await the resurrection
morn.
Weep not for me,
For sorrow sake;
But love little children
For my sake.
Parents, your little babe has only
gone on before, and will be waiting
and watching for your coming at the
beautiful gates of heaven, where
you can again be united and live to-
gether with Jesus forever and for
ever. Remember the words of the
Master when He said; Suffer little
children to come unto me, and for
bid them not; for of such is the king
dom of God" TRAMP.

Careless Shooting.

AS DR.. Scott was sitting on his front steps
Monday evening before supper, 32-calibre
bullet from revolver or rifle struck the
veranda post not more than a foot from
his head and then bounded down onto the
grass. The force OF the ball was nearly all
spent and it must have been fired from some
distance as no report was heard but it was
close call and when the accidental shoot
ing of Mr.. Able last year at Elsie is recalled
it should serve to again remind people that
carelessness with such dangerous things
may cost some one his life.

GREAT CLEAN UP.
A Thief From Shiawassee County Seems
to Have Made One.

A Thief From Shiawassee County Seems
to Have Made One.
Deputy Sheriff Little, OF Morrice. Is In
the city today to secure the team of horses
which were picked up by the police Monday
evening. The horses were stolen from Mrs
NJ. Meningitis barn and the thief later stole
wagon from Charles Calkins' barn, robe
from another farmer and blanket from a
fourth. 1t is believed that the man who
stole the team is the same man who sold a
load of wool at North Lansing, Monday. to
John Schlee. 1t Is not known where the
wool was stolen. Chief Sanford learned
that Ii. M. Murphy, of Perry, believes he
has had some wool stolen but has not heard
whether that sold In Lansing was his prop
erty or not. Deputy Sheriff Little return
ed the horses and wagon to the owners this
morning and will continue his search for
the thief.-State Republican.
The Republican might have added that
the publication in its columns of an item
stating that team had been found by the
police, gave our officers the clue to their
whereabouts and saved the owner Ia poor
widow large bill of expense.
