obituary..

Nancy, wife of Jessie B. Rifle,
was born July 20, 1927, died June
1G, 1900, age 73 years, IL months
and Is days.
She was converted and joined the
U. b. Church when she was about
Is years old. She has been con-
sistent Christian woman for over
so years. She has been great
sufferer for a number of months
and bore it with Christian patience.
She said to her daughter one
night before her death, doesn't the
sun shine bright?" The daughter
in reply, said: Mother, it is night
there is no sun shining now" 90"
she said, "the sun shines so bright"
We believe it was Gods glory
around her which gave her such a
glorious vision.
She leaves an aged husband, two
sons and three daughters to mourn
her departure. ALEX RIFLE.

Our Republican friends, in the
wonderful exuberance of their ami
NAL spirits have already got Mo
Kinley reelected in their mind
They figure it out in many ways.
Whenever they begin to add up,
theresult is the same. Their tick
ct is triumphant every time.
Now this is all entirely prema-
ture. There is nothing so unoer-
tain in this world as the result of
political election vicissitudes. His
tory has shown this many times.
In 1882 there was a marked ex.
ample. The friends of Henry Clay
we're as sure of his election as that
the sun would rise on election
morning. They thoroughly be
lieved it, and they made SO much
about it that they even shook the
faith of some Democrats. And yet,
when the electoral votes we're
counted jackson had 219 and Clay
had 40.
In 1910 it went the other way.
The friends of Van Buren, were
very confident, and yet Harrison
and hard older swept the country
by 284 to go.
In 1852 no one doomed it posi-
hla that the Democrats would have
such an easy walk over, but Pierce
carried 81 States while Scott only
carried 4.
In 1872 odds were actually offer
ed on Greedy, and yet Grant was
elected by tremendous majority.
Tits not SO long ago that Republi-
can leaders were convulsed with de-
risive laughter at the thought that
Grover Cleveland, the "hangman
sheriff of Erie" the obscure ooun-
try lawyer" "the accidental Gov
ernor of New York" could by any
possibility ever become President
And yet Cleveland beat Blaine in
1884 by an electoral vote score of
219 to 1872, and in 1892 he again
won, beating Harrison, against the
most confident predictions, by an
electoral plurality of 277 against
145.
All these instances show how un-
certain are the Presidential
chances. Shouting counts for
but little in this business. McKin-
ley has been reelected over and
over by the stump speakers in Con-
gress and by the great newspaper
corporations, who are under the
control of the trusts and the money
power and are consequently the
natural allies of the Republican
party. The reliance of the Demoo-
racy is not upon these forces. 1t
is on the people. And the people
will speak next November in con-
domination of the Mckinley policy
which is drifting this government
80 rapidly from it's old and safe
moorings into the seas of imper-
ialism and entangling foreign ALI

High up in all the piers of the
K. & M. bridge, that spans the
Ohio river at this point, is a hole
about 8x12 inches. left there
by the builders, for what purpose
we know not; but several years
ago an elder sprouted from the
hole in the pier nearest the West
Virginia shore. Every spring it
makes it's appearance regularly,
and without the aid or assistance
of tender, human hands, grows and
blossoms and is indeed thing of
beauty. It is in bloom now, and
being about half way between the
water and the bridge, presents at
once an interesting and beautiful
curiosity.

their "hi larnin,' played leap frog,
chased skunks, played tricks on the
teacher and other deviltry. Things
have changed about the old homo
