Death Of "Aunt Sarah Brown.
Z" She heard the voice of Jesus say.
Come unto me and rest,

She heard the voice OF Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest,
Lay down, poor weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.o
Sarah Elizabeth Martin was born
in Wayne county, Illinois, on March
4, 1925, and died at her home, in Ben
ton township, Cass county, Iowa, at
sunset, on March %, 1899. Her life
having, therefore, passed the meridi.
ma of its allotted time by four years.
A long life of checkered experiences
of Joy and pain, sorrow, sunshine and
shadow, unassumingly lived with pa
thence to the end. Mother Brown
passed her girlhood in the place of
her birth and was there united in
marriage to James Brown, who sur
wives her, in the year 1912. Six
children, five of whom are living,
was the result of this union. In 1856
they came to Iowa and located in Cass
county, being among the first settlers
there, and where they have lived ever
since. In 1879 Mrs. Brown became
converted and joined the Methodist
Glass, at Highland church, and has
remained consistent member. Tho
for years her most painful infirmaties
have prevented her from attending
the services of divine worship yet she
remained true child of God, and like
Job of old meekly bowed to her con-
dition unmurmuringly and gloried in
her suffering with true christian for
titude.
Her pastor, Rev. Beck, delivered
the funeral address, taken from the
text: "Thou shalt come to thy grave
in full age, like shock of corn COM
eth in his sorrow"-Job 5:26.
He dwelt upon the beauties of old
age, explaining that with its ripper
development and richer fruitage it
should excel the loveliness of mex
perienced youth. He said it were a
shame for one to die under seventy,
as there was SO much TO be accom-
plished ere 1t were NEE, to be called
home. He said that influence was eter-
nal, it could not die. He spoke OF
Shakespeare, Luther, Jesus Christ
who had passed from this existence
SO long ago and yet whose influence
was still here today; even so he said
would the influence OF that mother
live in the hearts of her family. Her
aged husband, who is in very poor
health, was not able to be present at
the funeral services. Long, long years
they have lived and loved and toiled
together: he will soon join her; where
beyond these sufferings there is peace.
In the month of her birth, clustering
March, so in the same March wealth
er, as the freshening nature broadens
into spring the struggle past, she is at
rest.
| And the valley of death was brighter
Than the hills of life she trod,
| And the peace that fell on her spirit
Was the calm, deep peace of God.
| She knew in whom she trusted,
She counted all things loss,
| And clung with the arms of faith and love
! To the Christ and to His cross
| And from that cross radiance
Fell with softening beam
That shone thro' the depths of the shadowy
| vale
And frightened deaths narrow stream.
| Her sun went down in the evening
Forever from our sight,
| But it shines today on the faraway hills
In the land that knows no night.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-About 1880
o'clock Sunday morning while c. Z
Gentry was out fox hunting, he saw a
hame shoot up In the direction OF his
home. He put spurs to his horse and
soon arrived to find the large stable
owned by himself and brothers on fire.
Awakening Mr.. Il. Il. Gentry, they
tried to save some Of the contents OF
the building, but only succeeded Ia
getting out Irvine binder, wagon
and two rakes. The stable with two
horses and a mule, farming utensils
hay, corn, and corn CRIB nearby were
soon In ashes and $1,000 or more had
gone up in smoke, with no insurance

Jack Chinn about 1t aud he said the

asserted that Taylor and his ticket,
together with the republican nominee
for the Legislature, would carry the
county by 300. You can take these
widely different statements and draw
your own conclusions. Mr.. Thompson

that Senator Goebel and his splendid

GOT LICKED.-E. c. Gaines tells US
that Commonwealth Attorney Bob
Franklin got head put on him Satur-
day night on the l.. Il n. train South.
He was drinking and making himself
generally offensive, peering into the
faces of ladies and Shaping mems hats
of. Mr.. Gaines tile was not omitted,
but being a peaceable man he let the
insult pass. Soon Franklin tried it on
Alfred Owens, rather small man COM
pared with Franklin, when the Rock
castle man let go his right feeler, which
landed on Franklin's throat and sent
his head whirling through a window,
breaking II and flooring the big fellow.
Then four or five men. who had griev-
snces, jumped on the PROSTATE man and
gave him drubbing he will not soon
forget. Mr.. Gaines was delighted and
says he was surprised that the train
men had not quieted Franklin sooner.

THE death OF II. }. Breckinridge, Jr.,
which has been expected for some time,
occurred Thursday evening, at the res
idence Of his father in Danville. He
has never been well since he went to
Central America seven wears ago, hav-
ing contracted malaria there. He was
a very bright man, and would have
been a most successful lawyer, for the
duties Of which profession he fitted
himself, but for deafness, which grew
on him till the sense was lost entirely.
"Bob, as most people here knew him,
was In Col T. Il. Hills law Office for a
year or two and made many friends,
who regret his untlmely death, and
send sympathy to his honored father,
the democratic nominee for attorney
general.
