Old Hickory LabOrinc Under a
MisapprehensiOn.

Old Hickory says: The action
of the out going Board of County
Commissioners on the first Mon
day in April in voting themselves
pay for that day and refusing to
pay the Township Commissioners
who We're called there tor the same
purpose, was a little arbitrary i'm
our estimation, and is condemned
by all tair minded mon"
Now, Old Hickory, you know.
ut least You ought to know. that
the County Board of Commission
ers have no authority whatever
to vote pay to themselves or any
other official. That is fixed by
the General Assembly of the
State. AS matter of justice I
believe the Township Commis
sioners should have been paid. at
the same time the County Board
Is not responsible for such. Well.
Old Hickory may say. the County
Board had no authority to meet
that day. If he will look ND the
County Government law. he will
find it says The County Board
of Commissioners shall meet on
The first Monday in January. A April
July and October provided that
the chairman of each Board NAV
call an extra meeting at any time
and also that we should serve nm.
til our successors are appointed
and qualified. Had those two
Commissioners been appointed
and qualified previous to the first
Monday in April? | as one of
the members of the out going
Board received pay for that dav
because it was provided by law.
If had not | should not have
made any complaint.
Now, Old Hickory, with a spirit
of kindness | state these facts
that we may not be condemned
by those fair minded men that
you speak of when they under
stand the true situation.

peaceful, yet triumphant. Her life
had been full of anxiety, labor and
care, but the weary worker is now at
rest and her sweet spirit lives forever

within few hours of each other.
Then few years later, daugh-
ter, Mrs. Nettie Carson, died. sud
denly. Then, about three months
ago. another daughter, Miss Glenn,
was taken from her, followed in
few days by the unexpected
death of sister living near her
Mrs. w. b. Mobley. And now
Mrs. Mobley herself is dead; has
been taken "home"-where there
is no more trouble and sorrow,
and where the weary and heavy
laden are at rest. Her death was
not unexpected. 1t has long been
known that, though she was able
to be up, she could not be spared
great while longer-that her
life hung by very slender cord
that was liable to break at any
time. She herself fully realized
her condition, and was prepared
to go whenever the Master might
call. Just before her daughter
died she told her that they would
not be parted long. And when
she took the the last sad farewell
of her--the farewell of the living
to the dead-she said, "Goodbye.
sweet one; | am coming soon"
She took worse Sunday 2nd., and
though she had every care that
attentive physicians and loving,
tender daughters could give her,
she gradually sank until Friday
evening when, just after the sun
had gone down, she breathed her
last, and her spirit went to the
God who gave it.
After the toll and trouble,
There comes day of rest;
After the weary conflict,
Peace on the Savior's breast:
After the care and sorrow,
The glory of light and love:
After the wilderness journey,
The Fathers bright home above.
After the pain and sickness,
The tears are all wiped away:
After the flowers are gathered
No more of carth's decay:
After the deep heart sorrow,
The glory Of light and love;
After the daily crosses,
Aglorious crown of love.

Going into decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What
Is the matter? Ii means that people
are losing tiesh. growing thin, vast
ing.
The way to correct this condition is
to improve the digestion. The coudi-
tion arises from an inability to eat
and digest food. In fact food does
more harm than good because il fer
ments and purifiers in the StOmach de-
veloping poisonous substances which
when absorbed cause various dis
orders.
What Is required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food al
ready digested and a digester of foods
as well. 1t will make the stomach

Just now no one with any regard for the

decent regard for the opinions Of 9TH

neighbors and my state. We have been

today that he would stand with us on
every point. How many eastern Repub-

hung free on the protected fences of
