Mrs. Susan O. Pobst.

This. excellent Christian woman
died on Friday, Dec. %, last, at 3:
10 pm. Her death Was not unex-
pected, Those who had been watch
ing continuously by her bed for
several weeks were apprehensive
from the first. The greatest anxiety
was felt by the public, and many
prayers were offered for her restor-
alton to her children and her hus-
band, and when the sad announce
ment was made that she was gone
there was universal sorrow though
out the town and community.
Mrs. Pobst was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Buston, OF
this town, and therefore sister TO
Mrs. W. A. Scott, Mrs. Ada Cam
mack, of Indiana, .and j. G.. and H.
l.. Buston, of our town, She was
thirty one years old, lacking only a
few days, and leaves husband and
two little boys-twins-four years old.
Those who were present during
her illness and death say, that no
one could have met the dreaded
monster more fearlessly or calmly
than did she. Death for her had no
terrors whatever. She spoke of it
often and freely as some pleasant
journey upon which she was enter
ing, at the terminus of which she
expected to find infinite delights,
and where she would be joined in
due time by those she was leaving
behind. She called for her children
and all those about her, and talked
to them about death without q
trem0r or a tear, assuring them that
she will be at the gates of pearl to
hid them welcome when they too,
shall go. Her lifewas one of Chris
tian Joy her death triumph and
deliverance. Such n death is not
h ard-not to be dreade-lndeed is not
death at all, as some view death.
The beautiful words of Tenyson have
here their verifiication.
There Is no death! the stars 30 down
To rise upon some falrer shore,
And bright In heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevcrmorc.
They are not deadi they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here,
| Into the now and larger lifo
or that seroner sphere.

HELPING ABOUT THE HOUSE.
Here is enc Man Who had About
the Right Idea.

The helpfulness of good man, when
it com to assis auce in domestic af-
fairs l. apt b. very much like that
of Mr.. Barker. whose exploit is narrat-
ed below
His wi e had asked him to hang a
picture she la purchased for the par
lor. and he said he would do it sin a
jify."
You must get me the cord and pic
ture hook y" he said to his wife. land
tel the servant girl to run down cellar
and bring up the stepladder and carry
it into the parlor; and where's those two
little screw thing jigs that go in o
the back OF the frame Mt the sides to put
the cord through? Look them up for
me; and III need the gimlet to bore a
little hole for the screws. Somebody
get the gimlet or maybe 1 can drive
them in with the hrmmer. Johny you
run down cellsr and get the hammer.
Il don't know but chair will be bet
ter than the steplander ior me to stand
on. Somebody go out into the kitchen
and get me n chair. don't want to
stand on one of the parlor chairs.
"God that cord? Just measure off
about the right length and fasten in
those little things on the side.
"There, now, there 8 your picture, all
hung up in good shape, and no fuss
about it, The difference between us
men and you women is that when we
have anything to do we go right ahead
and do it, and make no talk about it. -

From Pocahontas

The Xmas tree, decorated by the
Baptist and Methodist churches of
this place on last night was quite a
success, had large crowd-church
filled to overfowing, and sweet
spirit of unity prevailed between the
two churches. How long before the
denominatlonal lines will be OBJ
liberated, and the spirit of Brotherly
love will take the place OF sectarian
wrangling?
We wore taxed to our uttermost
capacity at the Hotel Poca. from
Friday the 23rd until this writing,
to accommodate the callers, The por-
ters for this Hotel were @. Whitehead
B. p. Maxey, j. P. Buffalow. J.P.
Pstton and others, who, truly went
out into the streets and lanes of the
city and compelled them to come in,
according to the scriptural injunction
that the tHotel Poca might be filed
and j. s. Stout. who was at times
filed with delight, too full for utter.
ance. was always there to accom-.
odate and entertain the visitors.
But according to the old maxim,
that he that dances must pay the
fiddler. and when w. w. Ordor, the
Police Justice, came, he pre-
emptorily decided that no guest
could leave the Hotel until he had
paid for his Accommodations. so these
visitors left in cool cash s33l.O How
is that for Hotel POca?
That is all right for Poca. but how

Now on Exhibition in court

We have soon and examined the
Automatic Farm Cato now on ex-
hibition here by Mr.. w. Il. Rioker
Of New York and can join with
every ono who has seen it in saying
that 1t is simply perfection.
The gate is light, neat and durable
and can be operated either by hand
or by lever, obviating the chief
objection to most patent gates.
All other swinging gates open to-
ward the horses going one way and
this opens "from" tho team always.
An old gentlemen or lady with
children can manage tho gate and
team keeping complete control OF
each.
1t can't be left open through
carelessness. 1t can be raised by
the lover to avoid snow or to let hogs
pass and keep bac larger stock.
This wonderful gate is simple Of
construction, and can be operated as
easily as a parlor door. There is
nothing about it that won't last
longer than it's owner, and the gate
ouc'e hung is heritage for ones
children.
Many Tazewell farmers haye OK.
amined 1T and every one commends
it.
1t is only matter of q little time
when they will ornament every
farm, and add to the comfort and
security of the farmer.
When one considers that this
wonderful contrivance can do so
much, and do it 80 we'll 1t seems the
cheapest Investment ever offered the
public.
The gate is especially commended
to ladies who drive, and we have
many of the kind in Tazpwell.
