cious in defending his principles, but
from early childhood he was naturally
averse to quarreling and frequently
was peacemaktr among the children
of his age.
Deeply interested in church work
since first he became member of the
NJ. +. church he threw his energies
INTO the work of soul-saving especially
caring for those of tender years. Last
year he was the honored president of
the Grant County Sunday School as
ISOLATION. Holding local preachers
license he frequently filled the pulpit
for his pastor and for three years has
ofliciated in that capacity at the Ce-
ment school house where he gathered
a large audience.
On May 2, 1887, he was married to
Miss Vina Moore Three children
were born to their happy welded life,
viz : William Donald, aged 10 years.
Frank Moore, aged s, and Ralph aged
6. Besides the foregoing and his be-
loved wife, one brother, John Nj. Stone

father surviveto mourn his demise
On Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
the funeral services were conducted in
the NJ. +. church, of which he was i
valued member. The church was
crowded, every available space was
filled, including the parlors and many
could not get inside the door owing
to the large crowd of sympathizing
friends that came to pay their last
tribute Uf respect to a revered friend.
Floral decorations to help conceal the
grim spectacle of death were lastly
arranged by loving hands as a last
memento of esteem. The Rev. Pen
gillY OF FennimOre, former pastor of
the church, read the Scripture lesson
and offered prayer. The Rev. Il. j.
Brown, pastor of the Congregations
church, pronounced a brief eulogy on
the moral eXcellences of his character
and his pastor, the Rev. j. T. Morgans
delivered the sermon Astounding with
consolation and comfort to the heart
broken members of the family. AS
co-workers they were so closely as
Sociated and so heartily in unison that
the pastor found it difficult to sup
press his emotions when speaking in
reference to the moral character OF
the deceased. Members of the old
choir, comprising Mr.. Ivey, Mesdames
Mitchell and Mccormick, Miss Belle
Bartlett and Rev. J. L. Morgans sang
sweetly some of the old songs of deep
spiritual feryor, after which he was
laid to rest in the Lancaster cemetery.
Yet twill only be a sleep,
When with songs and dewy light,
Morning blossoms out of night.
He will open his blue eyes
Meath the palms of Paradise
While we foolish ones shall weep.

FARMS OCCUPIED BY THEIR OWNERS
WHICH ARE INCUMBERED.

The logic Of the agricultural situa-
ton is, therefore, that as a class the
Southern farmer has the better end of
the financial proposition. The man
now living on rented farm in the
overcrowded portions of the North
or West has great difficulty in getting
''farm OF his own, while if he goes
south it is within the power of almost
every one to secure a place and be in
position to build up and enjoy home,
leaving something for his children to
inherit. This is emphasized by the
I official figures. which show that in the
nine seaboard northern states, with a
population Of 105 to the square mile,
aud with 51S1 per cent. of the popu-
lation urban, there is one pauper for
every $50 inhabitants. In the eight
seaboard Southern states, with den
sity of 50. and with 1903 per cent. OF
| the population urban, there is one
pauper for every 1908.
The vast movements in industrial
and mining operations in the South
have to great extent overshadowed
the quieter agricultural pursuits. but
nevertheless, tremendous strides
were made, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing comparative figures:
