only daughter Of William A. and Anna
n. Sack, died on Thursday Of last week,
after long Illness Of twelve weeks.
She was very patient never complaining
aud desiring aud hoping to live, yet she
was ready TO 60 when the call came.
Her mother aud father were untiring in
their devotion and care to her during
her illness and the husband left nothing
undone that could be done to save her
life. 1t seems strange that one 80 young
aid beautiful should be taken but We
know Gods way is best and We should
not question. Her funeral on Monday
in Emmanuel Church WAS largely at
tended and she looked yeiy peaceful
lying in handsome pearl colored couch
casket in 4 pink robe surrounded by
floral offerings. G.. T. Harris preached
q touching sermon from the text ''aDd
they all wept and bswailed her,
Rev. S. NJ. Nichols spoke afew words
and the choir sang ssS0me Sweet Day,
and s.Beautiful Robes" and her body
was committed to the ground. The
bereAYed family have the sympathy OF
all in their deep afiiction. N.

The closing Of Justices mill is sad
blow to the principal industry OF our
town aud some question even IL u suc-
cessful canning factory would replace
the loss. The mill furnished employ.
pent and maintenance for eight fam
lilies, besides it furnished market for
the wheat Of the farmers in the aur-
rounding country and was the medium
Of putting product Of the land to the
consumers.
After an investigation the citizens
and farmers are quite shy OF the party
who wished the citizens to give them
~ 600 and allow them to build cam
ming factory. OF course, the party ex-'
pected to make 81. 900 or so. Some
of the farmer readers OF the Rural New

working such schemes in other States

Life has no cup Of joy unmixed with care,
All have some sorrow, all some grief to bear.
The lowring.t tempest sweeps tho winter sky,
The firest flowers only bloom to die.
The dreams of youth, the hopes Of ripper
years.
Full oft are quenched in sorrow and In tears,
The feeting visions drawn by times hand.
Are.strewn and lost upon LIES drifting sand
All have sorrow on this weary earth,
Grief surely follows in the train Of mirth,
But there's land where sorrow never
comes,
The Christians rest and Ida seternal home.
Rest, gentle Ida, rest,
Thy wearisome life is DER,
Thou art now among the blest

And to whom thy young heart was given,
In sweet purity and innocence above,
Thou art with the angels in heaven.

The list of eligible princesses for the
kings and kinglets of Europe matrimo
nially inclined is so short that when q
really pretty one appears there is great
rivalry for her hand. The Grand
Duchess Helena of Russia is the lates:
to make her court debut, and rumoI
has it that she will soon be betrothed
to Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, n wild.
over with four children.
If this should become an actually,
there will have TO be, the court Cos
sips say, another shutting of the cards,
by which Prince Ferdinand, in order to
rank with his fiancee, will be raised to
the dignity of kinship and on his part
will reciprocate by joining the Greek
Orthodox church.
1t does not appear how the pretty
grand duchess regards the deal, which
is credited TO the aged Princess Glenn
entina of Orleans, who has a reputa-
ton, next to Queen Victoria, of being
the most expert royal matchmaker.
Her age may be inferred from the fact
that she was the favorite daughter Of
that long defunct sovereign, Louis Phi
lippe. In point of fact the Princess
Clementina is two years the senior of
the English queen and is said to be the
only parsonage living who dares ad-
dress her by her Christian name.

The period of information" for club
women is now upon us. VIII it lead
in the future toward n period of ref
ormation?" VIII the woman of the
future talk in her club and in her
church councils on vital questions con-
corning her own being am relation to
the world without fear of being term
ed unwomanly or aggressive? asks
Harper's Bazaar.
Are the clubwomen of today weak
ening those walls of silence about wo-
men so that some day the walls will
fall down and women may speak for
themselves and their sex with respect
and Difference?
Marriage and divorce are two definite
questions now before the public which
concern women equally with men, yet
clubwomen are silent on these vital
questions.
1t is not because women and good,
conservative women do not think keen
~ on the subject. 1t is because they
lack the courage to face opprobrium
and the unjust censure of being pro-
nounced bold or unwomanly if they ut
ter publicly their conviction on this
matter Yet many timid, shrinking
women are laughing inwardly at the
civilized spectacle exhibited in the
twentieth century OF solemn board of
men sitting alone, without woman's
presence, to determine upon divorce
laws which apply to the one relation in
life in which woman must always be
an equal partner with man-for union
or discord.

May Run Through Season.

There is hope among the lum ber-
men of this locality that the saving
season may be continued longer than
it was thought possible three weeks
ago. Indeed, nearly all Of the mills
had arranged to shut down along
about Aug. or before. Now the in
dications are that they will not be
compelled to do so, but may be able
to run during the greater part of the
season. This. it should be under
stood, is only hope. But the hope
is based upon the fact there have been
heavy rains in the north and that
nearly all of the tributaries of the
Mississippi in the north are filling up.
Already logs have been driven to the
extent of 10000. 900 feet into the
booms OF West Newton, and while
this amount would not justify open
ing them alone, the chances are that
a good many more logs can be and
will be driven. Practically the same
