In Memory Of Seid Caruthers.
"A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in the home,

"a precious one from is gone,
A voice we loved is stiIled;
place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled"
Yet, remembering that place is
filed in heaven that shall never
more be vacant, causes us to say,
''Thy will be DONE" and we are
comforted with the thought, "He
doeth all things for the best;" tho
it is very hard to give up youth
of so much promise as was this
beautiful Observation-Disclosures.
1t is sad to see one of such loveable
traits to be so quickly taken away,
when seemingly his life was so I'M
finished, Good moves in mystic
rious ways his wonders to perform. "
Seid was a boy of bright intellect
and rare gifts of graces and charac-
ter. He was a social favorite, low
ed by all who had the pleasure of
knowing him, popular with his
teachers and schoolmates, in his
own home charming companion,
bright, witty and cheerful, with one
Of the noblest, most generous
hearts, giving happiness to all
around him. He was patient du-
ring his illness, never murmuring;
but death, which is said to love a
shining mark, claimed him for his
own. There was not the slightest
indication that he had suffered any
pain, or undergone any struggle
whatever, everything betokening
that his earthly sleep had passed
without his consciousness into eter-
nal rest.
Do not weep. Our loss is great
and can never be repaired, but re-
member his sufferings are over. He
enjoys his reward. In a short
time we can join him in better
world than this, A FRIEND.

"A successful vaccination is one
that shows first a vesicle, and then
a pustule, with an modification,
and has an infiammatory zone ex-
tending for an inch or more around
its base. The scab usually falls in
about twenty-one days. As rule
a vaccine vesicle requires no treat
ment. A clean, soft linen bandage
may be put over it to protect it
from the rubbing of the clothes.
Ointments, lotions, ETC., are, as a
rule, harmful. a ribbon, with the

MIR. j. Z. Mashburn called
on us Saturday and renewed his
subscription to the BULLETIN. His
name has been on our list for more
than a quarter of a century.
During that period the paper has
advocated many measures contrary
to his views, but he did not rush to
the Office and order the editor to
'stop his paper" He belongs to
that class of men (of whom there
are too few who has convictions Of
his own, and who Is broad enough
to concede the same right to others.
He takes the paper for the news it
gives. 1t is such men as "Pete"
Mashburn that forms the bedrock
of good citizenship and just such
men every true newspaper man de-
lights TO have as a subscriber.
