Aren't our public roads in q mess?

! Mrs. LlZzle Hunter returned home
on Saturday, the 3rd, from three
months visit among her children.
Mr.. III. II. Long, who accidentally
shot himself through the leg with his
pistol few weeks ago, is getting or
nicely.
Notwithstanding the continual rain
there has been n considerable amount
Of corn planted. We arc behind with
our farm work. But brighten up, broth
cr farmers, with the old hope that Il
bad beginning makes Il good end.
There was considerable frost last
Sunday morning. We fear tho peach
crop, together with tho plums, arc
about wound up.
After a lingering illness of dropsy,
Mrs. Mollic Strauss died at her home
on Wednesday, the 3lst ult., in the 18th
year Of her age. She was buried in the
family grave yard, near her residence,
the day following her death. Mrs.
| Strauss was great sufferer for several
months previous to her death. She
| leaves only two sons to mourn her
| departure, Mcssrs. NJ. l.. and T.. L.,
who have our deepest sympathy. God
| had blessed the deceased. He spared
her life with good health up to the ILL
ness which caused her death. She
lived beyond the allotted time of man $
life, which is three score years and ten.
Our old fathers and mothers of Israel
/ arc passing away. Very few are left
behind. We can but only cherish their
| grant with flowers.
There is a wall OF grief and Il gloom
OF sorrow connected with death on all
+ occasions. and may God help us all to
say with ST. Paul. TO live is Christ.
but TO die is gain"

could see you as YOU were pushing
through this great city, bcholding the
art Of man and the works Of nature,
and the thought appeared to our mind
that, il we had been with you about the
time we had reached the top of that
great Equitable Building, eight stories
high, and my eyes bchcld what yours

the advantage Of excursion rates and
visit them. This is still our purpose.
We take this method of thanking the
Editor for one Of the group pictures OF

be pleasure for us to look upon this
