The following grand jury was drawn

J. w. Daughdrill was appointed fore
man and Frank Larkin, bailiff.
Judge Powell's charge to the grand
jury was in the Judges usual pointed
and direct style and showed that this
able and conscientious jurist had not
been in the least transformed by the
experiences of the late gubernatorial
campaign.
The petit juries empaneled for the
week are as follows:
PETIT JURY No. 1.-B. F. Smith, J. n.

Notice to Teachers.

The attention of the teachers of the
public schools of Lincoln county is
hereby called to the importance of
their securing at once a large attend
ance in the schools Not only will this
add to the effective work to be done in
the schools during the winter term.
but it will also influence the amount
paid as salaries. Several of the schools
have already been visited by the COun-
ty Superintendent and of these, special
mention deserves to be made of the
work being done at Wellman by Miss
Mason r.. z. Germany at Chamberlain's
and Mrs. Lula G.. Maxwell at Salem.
These teachers are grading their schols
carefully and are putting forth special
effort to secure high attendance.
With permission of the editor of

made in the future of those schools
doing meritorious work.

There never breathed a purer spirit
on earth than Grandma Turnbough
Nothing but sickness ever caused her
seat to be vacant at church. She al
ways had words of encouragement for
the preacher. To spend an hour i'll her
company on earth, always inspired one
to higher and nobler living. Her every
day life was such as to lead men to that
city whose builder and maker is God.
AS neighbors and friends stood by her
dying bed. she would point them to
"the Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the world" When her breath
began to grow shorter, and her children,
whom she loved as her own life, bent
ing over her pale form to catch the last
whisper, she was heard to repeat two
lines of her favorite hymn,
"Jesus, Thou art the sinners friend,
As such look to Thee 4"
AS these lines were repeated, one could
almost feel the brush of angels wings
who had come to bear her pure spirit
from earth to that home above the Skies
of which she so much loved to talk and
sing while on life's journey.
May hers be an unbroken family
around the great white throne in heav-
Ell, is the prayer of one to whom she
was a dear friend on earth.
