MRS. william Bradshaw.

The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Clara B. Bradshaw, was born May 90,
1875, and died Aug. 26, 1899, aged "a
years and months.
Death is always cruel but especially
SO in the case of the young and fair.
This was sadly illustrated in the death
of Mrs. Bradshaw whose loving hus-
band and tender young son will live
but to learn each day more and more
the loss which they have sustained,
but while we grieve at her untimely
death we rejoice to know that an earn
est christian faith had prepared her
to meet and conquer our last enemy.
She was consistent IN ,mber of the
Baptist church having been baptized
into the fellowship of the Freedom
church two years ago and but for that
dread disease, consumption, she might
have lived for many years of useful
ness. "Her sun went down, while it
was yet day." She will be sadly miss
ed by her family, her church and the
community. But recognizing the
hand of Him whom she trusted in life
and death we are constrained to say,
''The Lord hath given and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the name
of the Lord" Her remains were laid
away in the Lancaster Cemetery after
prayer and the reading of scripture by
the Rev. ]. G. Massee, of the Baptist
church. To the sOrrOwing loved ones
we would say, remember that for her,
death is swallowed up in victory
through grace in the Lord Jesus
Christ. A FRIEND.

Over.ruled His tsPint.o

During one of the several local Op-

and able arguments they ever heard.
His whole soul was in the case and
his elOquence held the spectators SPELL
bound for almost an hour. At the
conclusion Of the speech everyone
thought he had, of course, scored a
victory, but the police judge (who
