kindness shown them during his pro-

affection of our departed loved one.
and rendered it much easier for him to
endure prolonged, inteuse suffering.
Upon these friends one and all we

In Memory of Papa.

Died, at his residence in Henderson,
n. e., on Tuesday. the Sth of February,
1898, Col. 7. W. Goodrich
Thus has passed away devoted and
affectionate husband, a loving and in
dulgent father, with pure thoughts, firm
faith and bright hopes of blissful i'm
mortality.
Our beloved one is no more with us
except in fond remembrance, which must
and will remain though he be gone.
Yes, such a spirit of cheerfulness, of
genial humor, gentleness of feeling and
resignation must and will be remembered
by us and his many friends.
How affecting when he said to his anX-
iOus ones: "Be cCnsoled, for soon in
that sweet bye and bye we shall meet on
that beautiful shore"
Sad, sad indeed he is no more And
the familiar place that knew him so well
must never know him again
That spirit is gone to find it's fitting
coronation amid the rest and peace Of
Heaven.
And tho that form must moder and
mingle again with earth:
I'm faith we may behold him
In glory going forth
BY his bright example his family may
see how blessed it is to be a Christian
and cherish unfaltering faith in our Saw
Jour.
Such confidence that he asked. expect
ing and believing, and received blessing
in return.
Such faith that he applied it first in
good works and earnest prayer, that led
him humby to the word, to the work, to
the mercy seat, and finally to rich re-
ward
That religion that inspired him with
glorious hopes, that in the valley OF the
shadow of death, carried him to the
Heavenly gate of eternal bliss. Such
bright expectations
AS Angels whisper sweetly say,
| Brother spirit, come with us away;
Cease fond nature, cease thy strife
And let him enter into blissful life.
Oh! that anxious look and peaceful
| smile as he said: Il am coming, coming
now to Thee. There is but Il step be-
| tween u.s." Then that low breathpd
whisper said: 81 am ready, my Saviour
is with me- All is we'll
| Now the calm close. The happy reali-
cation as life recedeI, he trusted his God
and Heaven opens on his vision as his
| reward.
| Then let us, as his loved ones, be con
sO!ed in the thought that our loss is his
| gain. DevOtedly,

How Towns Are Made or Killed.

Here is an excellent article found in
an exchange which is commended to
mended to the careful persual of our
readers:
More towns die for want Of conf
| dence on the part OF business men and
lack of public spirit, than from the
rivalry of neighboring towns or adverse
| surroundings. When a man in search
| of home or business location goes 10
town and finds everything brimful OF
hope and enthusiasm over the pros
poets of the place and earnestly at
work to build up the town, he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit.
and as result he drives down his stake
and goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however. he goes to a
town and every one expresses doubt
and apprehension in the future pros
perlty OF the place, moping about and
indulging monrning complaints about
imaginary evils which are likely to
betall the town. he naturally feels it is
no place for him. aud at once shakes
the dust from his feet which he pulls
with all possible speed for some other
town. Consequently try and make a
live, enterprlsing, progressive town
out OF the one in which you live.
When you are working for or saying
good thing for your town you are ac-
comprising all the more for yourself.

EDITOR BOX TO LECTURE.
The Popular Young Editor to Come
South to Meet Southern People.

Edward Box, the famous young edi-
tor of The ladies' Home Journal, has
finally been persuaded to appear on the
lecture platform, and be will make his
debut as lecturer in the South next
October. He will lecture in twenty of
the principal cities and in few of the
neighboring Western States. The
title Of his lecture will be The Keys
to Success" the most interesting SUBJ
ject he could have chosen to talk
about. Mr.. Box is, perhaps, the most
successful and popular young man in
America. Women read him as they
do no other writer, and it may be con-
fidently said that around the PERSONAL
ity of no other man in America is
there greater interest and curiosity
on the part of thousands Of women
than centres on this successful editor.
The women will not be disappointed
in him as in looks and manners, Mr..
Box possesses all the qualities which
they like. He is as popular personally
with women as are his writings. Up
to this time he has declined the NEST
fattering terms to lecture, but last
week the Southern Lyceum Bureau. OF
Louisville, succeeded in closing a con-
tract with the Philadelphia editor.
Mr.. Box has chosen the Southern field
entirely because he wishes to acquaint
himself with the South and its people.
and has stipulated that his lecturlng
tour shall be so arranged as t" allow
him time for social engagements and
observation. He will not speak more
than three times each week, and will
spend seven weeks in the South.
Americans are the most inventive
people on earth. To them have been is
sued nearly 100000 patents, or more
than one-third of all the patents issued
in the world. No discovery OF modern
years has been of greater benefit to man
kind than Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, or has done
more to relieve pain and suffering. j.

have used Chamberlain Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in my family for

The chapel of the Henderson Female
College was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity last Friday night to hear the lecture
of Rev. J. S. Williams. His subject was
"The Lilies" and in glowing terms he be-
sought the young ladies to consider the
lilies, in their purity, their fragrance and
beauty, reminding them that life with
all it's stern duties, perpleXities and
cares had it's bright side of loneliness and
Joy. He entreated them, if they wished
to be happy, to build up noble charac-
ter, to search diligently for the beautl-
full, to abhor everything mean and to
shun whatever is ugly.
The oil paintings and crayOns hanging
on the walls, the skillful work of Misses
Mabel, Myrtle and Olive Harris were
much admired.
The following selections of music and
recitations were rendered by the pupils
in an excellent manner, fully attesting
the careful and wise training they had
received:
