Obituary.

Amelia Lee departed this life March
II, 1898, aged seventy years. She
was married to William White in 1851.
She was faithful wife and devoted
mother. Few if any mothers showed
more cheerfulness in their homes and
in society. Such was the richness of
her life that far and near young and
old had learned to love her and con-
tribute to her the sweet title of Aunt.
She had been a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Ryan's
Glade on the Blaine charge for almost
fifty years. She was faithful reader
of the Ad0OcGte, and the Bible. She
loved purity and was always found at
her post of duty, which fortified and
crystallized her life into star of
beauty. For over two years she had
been afflicted with dropsy, which
deprived her of the privilege of at
tending prayer and class meetings,
which she dearly loved and which
were her chief delights, and brought
to her as it does to so few, DAYS of
heaven upon earth. During the two
years Of her severe suffering she in
her patience from day to day, show
ing her perfect confidence in God to
save unto the uttermost all those who
put their trust in him, proved to saint
and sinner that God was not only
able to fulfill his promises, but that
he did 1t has no doubt been truly
said that during her sickness, as we'll
as before, that none came to see her
or conversed with her but that they
were helped and made stronger in
faith-such great and clear demon
strations of faith as seldom found as
were demonstrated in the life of sis
ter White. 1t is truly said that the
path of the just is as the shining light
that shineth brighter and brighter
unto the perfect day. Go to see this
woman of God when you would and
she would always have more or less to
say on the subject of Jesus and His
love. Some, yea many, live so their
names are buried long before their
bodies-their names are less remem-
bered than the last dim look of their
eyes, but time may come and go and
generations pass, but the name of
Aunt Amelia White will live on and
on. Even though she had been ill
so long, yet her death was sudden
and unexpected, and without a strug-
gle the soul closed the door of life on
this world and opened it into life
eternal. She leaves two sisters and
eight children with a host of friends
to mourn her departure, yet her
preparations were so thorough that
they have every assurance if they
follow Jesus as she did that they will
meet again in the city of God.
Her funeral services were conducted
at the White church March 10Th by
her pastor, Rev. J. II. Koch, where a
large congregation of her friends had
gathered together to bid her remains
farewell. Ink.

Run, was appointed as the teacher of

ATTEMPTED ARSON.
An Attempt Made to Burn the Business
Section of Oakland Monday Night.

Section of Oakland Monday Night.
On Tuesday morning last when
Messrs. Bolden & Brown, the furni-
ture dealers opened their store for
business it was discovered that an at
tempt had been made the night be-
fore to burn their building by piling
a large quantity of excelsior and pine
wood thoroughly saturated with
kerosene oil against the rear door of
their cabinet making establishment
and setting it ON fire After having
arranged the imflammable material
five or six matches were lighted and
applied but for some unaccountable
reason the matter would not take fire,
probably on account of the water
soaked condition of the wood prior
to the application of the oil. Had the
intention of the would-be incendiary
been carried out the entire business
section of the town would have been
burned
Rewards aggregating $3.50 have
been offered by the firm of Bolden g.
Brown and one or two other citizens
of the town for the apprehension and
conviction of the party who attemp-
ted to set the building on fire.

the largest profit is realized where

will be practically assured by the use
of this superb stallion.

A Pleasant Sort Of Sea.
The power Of the surf is thing
about which many of us have but the
most hazy ideas, and indeed the ordi.
nary conditions with which we are sur.
rounded prevent us from fully appreci.
ating what it can be at times.
The people Of the island of Chinco-

half wide, have, however, opportunit.
for judging this experience, which they
must find the reverse Of pleasant.
On its eastern side and between it and
the ocean is Assateague island, which
is also mile and half wide, but the
power with which the waves come is SO
great that at some places the surf
sweeps entirely over both islands.

Advocates tho Foresting of Minnesota

BRA1NERD, MINI. March 2S.-General
Andrews, chief fire warden, in an address
here on forestry, said the virgin pine
in Minnesota would be exhausted in
about 20 years, but if the younger pine
could be saved from fires and the state
would at once encourage foresting the
non.agricultural lands the lumber in
dustry might be perpetuated. The
public forests Of Saxony. mostly on
poor mountain land, yielded a net an
nual revenue Of 81 and $3.50 an acre.
There were a few million acres OF simi'
lar soil in scattered acres in this state
lying waste and from which unless for
ested no income nor even taxes would
ever be derived.
