lips, fell asleep in Jesus. Saturday
morning, November 9Th, 1898.
He was great sufferer but bore it
patiently. not a murmur escaped his
lips. He had been member of Onley
church five years. He was worth a
great deal to his family. His wife
and children felt that all their inter
ests were safe in his hands. He was
a loving, devoted husband and father,
kind neighbor and friend, and al
ways full OF sympathy and love. We
are in grief but we sorrow not as
those who have no hope, his was the
death of the righteous. At 81 years
and 81 days of age, he passed away in
great peace. There is a great vacancy
in our household, but there has been
an addition to the grand family cir
Gle of the saints.
Death has robbed me of my husband,
OF the one I loved SO well;
Taken from this world of sorrow,
Safely home with Jesus to dwell.
Human hands tried to save thee,
Tears and signs were all in vain;
Happy angels came and bore thee,
From this weary world of pain.
TITS hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart.
TITS hard, so hard to speak, the words,
I'VE must forever part"
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face,
Farewell! Cut, why you were taken,
Icannot tell, God worketh all things
In the future we must pray (well;
That we will meet you some day.
Thank God we have that blissful hope
That again the dear face we shall see
In Heaven, be clasped in his loving
Reunited forever to be. (arms.

been agreed on by Senators

applicants for the position Of

need not send in their appli~

his appointment is officially
made next winter. But he
will no doubt be overwhelmed
with applications in a short
time. The pay of a census
supervisor is 1925 a month

a year, so that is a right nice

need dash a seaside and seaside
folks need that peculiar something
called s'mountain air." Fourth OF
July is kind of a jolly affair any
how. Everybody moves some

The answer is found in a glance at

before July 9TH, at one and one

Plenty of people will be going, but
such ample accommodation will be
provided that there will be plenty
of room for the collaboration the
whole family. There will be no
struggle nor exhaustion incident
upon crowding for those who take
their Fourth of July outing by the
Seaboard Air Line.
Remember, the Fourth of July
comes but once year. 1t will
never do to miss the outing.

THAT V. NJ. l. FRACAS.

Gen. Scott Ship, Superintendent OF
the Virginia Military Institute at Lex
ngton, Va, is n just man, but he is
strict dsciplinarian. On New Years
night the entire first" or graduating
class, with the exception of the officer
of day. against orders, discharged a
lot OF fireworks from the roof of the
barrack building. The next day the
entire class was paraded and promptly
expelled with one exception.
The action of Gen. Ship will not be
Questioned; it is the degree of the pun
ishment necessary under the circum-
stances.
Such an act would hardly have been
committed by men, because the eXplod-
ing of Il lot of fireworks is too childish.
AS it is, lot of happy, jolly young
men, pinned up under strict military
discipline, have broken loose for a mo-
ment and deserve Il small degree of
punishment, not for the act of creating
miniature fire display, but for the ap-
pearance of INSTRUMENTATION. OF course,
the cadets were not nsubOrdinate, for
they love the old V. NJ. l., and Gen
Shipp too well. ii the truth is known,
Gen. Ship is taking too good care of
the boys and should cut off their ra-
tons. 1t is the old story of Il high

THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED

There is prosperity and prosperity;
but the prosperity of the wicked shall
be their destruction. Why? Because
it is made out of the miseries and mis-
fortunes OF others. Nobody on the
Democratic platform of 1896 has been
complaining, or even stating, that n
certain set Of cannibals are not prosper
Gus, or have not been so. on the con-
trary, we have all the time admitted

ANTICIPATION AND REALIZA-
TON.

The Boys debating society some

pursuit, Or the possession" The lads
have not lived long enough to answer,
the inquiry from their own experience
but they usually contribute soma
bright and interesting suggestions ia
the discussion, from their own cogIto-
tions or the experience of others
But what is experience? And who
has it, or has had it? These questions
are not so easy as they seem: and vct
upon them largely depends the true
response to the query about pursuit
and possession. while the pursuits ana
possessions of our daily life ought 10
supply us with abundance Of expert
ence. Yet they do not, because il all
passes by us as the idle wind. vbIcr
We regard not. just as our sustenance
is not merely what we eat and drinl,
but what we properly digest and as
simulate; so what happens to us. and
even our own sensations. are not expe-
rience. but the just reflections and
judgments we derive thcrcfrom. Out
of Il thousand men, probably one has

ing that there is change of senti-
ment in those counties upon the policy
OF protecting oyster planting. AS the
natural beds become exhausted and
tongmen and dredgers find their occu-
patton gone, they begin to view with
favor any scheme for regaining 1t. But
in the meantime the packing houses.
which now give employment to q vast
number OF people and bring Il great
deal of wealth into the State, will have
followed the planters into Virginia.
To set them back will not be so easy
as to lose them.
The time Is not far distant when oys-
ter planting will be encouraged on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, and then
it will shortly appear that the land I'M
der the water is more valuable and
productive OF wealth and will afford
more profitable employment than the
farms of that fertile portion OF the
state. Mr.. Hodson says that in SOM
erset county -four people out of five
are in favor of Il sensible planting law.
but the fifth fellow Is an anti-planter,
who has no other politics than to pre-
vent the prosperity of himself ana his
brothers by opposing all legislation on
the planting subject This fellow will
join either party on any party, ana
with it he can carry majority were
ever he goes" If Mr. Hodson is cor
rect in his figures. the prospect is
most encouraging. for with four-hfths

parties must speedily commit them
selves to that policy. thus leaving no
refuge for the antiplanter. Altogcth-

THE WAY TO FIGHT TRUSTS.

especially combination has gone for

it seemed probable that the whole
trade might be dominated by a single

time, but the trust idea is still too
predominant. The combination of cap
ital is n good thing, and without it
much OF our recent industrial progress
would have been impossible. but ii can
be carried too far, and people Sener-
ally-and with a good deal OF Justice
regard the trade combine or trust with
suspicion. Here, too. a mistaken eco

best way to fight the trust evil is to
conclude that a combined industry is
no longer an infant industry, and
