When a man owns hundred dollar horse

gets full of weeds, he doesn't delay about
roofing them out, for he knows they will
choke out his vegetables. When he is out
of sorts, sick, nervous headachey, has no
appetite and is restless and sleepless at
night, he pays little attention to it. The

for an hour without success. and a
goodsized crowd of neigh bors stood
about. suggesting ways to get the bird
down. One went and got revolver

from the east, there was con-
siderable gathering and some
grum5ling, rather low, but
as the horn shaped cloud
came in sight there was a
few keen claps which made
the hills ring and shook the
town from certer to circum-
ference then she burst forth
with all her fury. 1t took

everything in her course,
men, women and children
made for a place of safety.

We are sad to pen the sad
news that the Angel of Death
has visited our town again,
taking away this time one of
our generous neighbors, Mr..
Mcmillan, who, after a few
Gays in which he suffered un-
told miseries, fell into an
eternal sleep last evening
just at the hour Of 2:30.

who watched constantly day
and night by his bedside.

vention of Sidney is now a
thing of the past, but, doubt
less memories OF it will live
in our hearts long after. the
sweet flowers are blooming
upon the graves of the aged
ones who took so active a
part in the work. Notwith-
standing the convention was
not as largely attended as
expected, the program was
interesting, and good order,
attention and the best of
feeling prevailed throughout
the entire session. The an
nual address by the presi-
dent, Dr.. Cox, of Ash Flat,
was very suggestive and en-
tertainlng, portraying in
earnest and appropriate
words the need, Importance
and influence Of Sunday
school work, and the many
attainments derived there
from, The addresses by
Prot. Eugene Shaver, Drs,
Batson and Johnston, ReY.
Sullivan, Prof. Alcorn and
others were as equally inter-
estlng, besides instructive
and edifying, The delegates
and all who attended seemed
to enjoy the occasion hugely.

and here we pause to find
words sufficiently adequate
to express what we feel about
it, and how much we appre,

a delightful scene, and our
sweet little ones made glad
every heart by their bright
faces and interesting recitd'

little consecrated christian
