DEATHS,

DEATHS.
Died, in Odessa, June /, 1897, of heart
failure, Mr.. Jas. f. Collins, aged GO years.
Mr.. Collins was born and reared in
Indiana and came to this county IN 1890,
embarking in the dry goods business in
Odessa with his son-in-law, Mr.. w. E.
Ewing. They afterwards moved their
stock of goods to MAYHEM, where it was
destroyed by fire in 1898. In 1894 he be-
came associated with his son-in-law in
the management of the Odessa Democrat
and has ever since been connected with
that paper. Fol the past ten years his
health had been slowly failing which
forced him to abandon his profession
law. During his practice he was one of
the most brilliant lawyers in the state of
Indiana. He was the last surviving men,
Der of a once large family. Thus Lafay-
cite county has lost one of her most
esteemed and respected citizens.
A TRIBUT OF RESPECT TO f. T. LEE, JR.
MAYHEM, Mo, June Sd, 1897.
1 had the pleasure of knowing this
worthy young man since last September,
at which time l employed him, with the
highest testimonials of character, as drug
clerk, in which capacity he acted until
his late illness. A gentleman by birth
and culture, he was adopted into my
family, and felt as one of as, Steady in
habits, kind in manner and imbued with
the highest sense of honor, his place with
US will be hard to fill. His sickness was
lingering, yet he bore it with Christian
meekness.
Stretched on the bed OF grief,
In silence long he lay;
For sore disease and wasting pain,
Had worn his strength away"
Eatbar mothar hrotbars apd aiStaro
mourn not as those who have no hope,
but strive to meet him on the resurrec-
ton morn.
Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest sufferings we endure,
Flow from thy faithful care"
Up.
IN MEMORY OF EMMETT.
Death has come with cruel kindness
To a prison cell of clay,
And unbound the painful letters,
That a soul might soar away.
Tho the bitter pangs of parting
Leave the crushed heart in despair,
Remember he will wait our coming,
And make the Great Beyond more fair.
Between earth's darkness here and heaven,
God put this golden link of love;
This light to guide our erring footsteps
To the dear ones up aboye.
Could we see beyond this sorrow,
Beyond this gloom so cold and drear,
And behold that glad tom ,rrow-
Would we wish him with us here?
What sorrow without sadness,
What a pleasure, partly pain,
Could we only see contrasted
Our loss with heavens gain?
