been Il patient sufferer Tor mouths aud
was resigned. She was an cstimublc
young lady and she will be missed from

member. IN the years that arc gone
we had the pleasure Of being her Sun

pleasure that we bear testimony to her
Christian life. She leaves Il mother
and brother and many relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. She has
only gone on before, there 10 await the
coming Of The loved ones left behind.
Our sympathy goes to the mother

companion and will be doubly missed
in her loneliness. She was laid to rest
in the Prosperity cemetery Thursday
evening.

farming Implements, wagons, etc
There is too much of this thing going
on and we certainly think that it is
time for IL stop to be put to it. The
incendiary IL 100 ready with his torch.
In this vain tleeling world where all
, is hustle and hustle, the golden rule is
too often forgotten, and in order to gain
| Il little temporary advantage or make
sale, good (?) man will insinuatc
what he knows TO be untrue, and when
he hlchcs the other party out of his
good name and the transaction he smiles
IN his sleeve and says, what Il smart
man | am. Yes, but for every such
transaction you must give an account
and you may smirch your ncighbor's
name and build yourself up at his cx-
pcnsc, but those who do these things,
and you know if you do it, should rCmem-
! bcr that 'rcngeancc is mine, will re-
pay saith the Lord" | sometimes sit and
wonder if all the training and all the
prayers ofgodly. y.fathcrs and mothers are
goingto be lost on the present gcnration.
When | sec men enjoying those things
that bring rcproach on the memory OF
the saintcd dead, and losing no oppor-
tunity to pull down a ncighbor cr in
sinuatc something i'm business way
that they know to be untrue, | ask
myself. What is the matter? What is
wrong? When see men profcssin e
one thing and openly living another |
ask myself what has become of the
teachings Of the fathers. How short
Is this life and the evil we do. and how
