TAKES HIS PEW IN HAND.
Ohas. ]. Porter, the Much Nominated
Candidate for Mayer, Writes
q Piooe.

Well. Charlie Porter has deweyed it.
Unlike other great men, however, he did
not send for the reporters and tell them
OF his goodness and greatness, but he
took his pen in hand and wrote a piece
for the Sentinel. The Sentinel being an
obscure paper with a limited circulation.
The DAILY LEADER r%eproduces Charles
piece that it may not be lost to the citi-
9 n of Madison and the people of the
state. When the substantial business
men of Madison see themselves as Char,
lie seems them, they will inquire, Is it
possible we have never had a mayor
that knew anything about business?
AS. a literary gem, Charles piece is
worth preserving, but to get the best re-
suits the school urchin Of the family
should be employed to read it aloud to
his father. Here is the piece in full.

A Loving Word.

81 had rather have a loving word said
about me behind my back than any other
gift or favor on earth," said a women
whose pathway in life had been made
difficult by cruel SANDER which had its
origin in the thoughtless criticism of a
friend. The careless speech, having UNI
usual power, as coming from such a
source, had been repeated and garbled
until it assumed a form which the
speaker never intended. "If you can
say nothing good of another, keep
silence - is a golden adage. Another as
excellent is: eff you say good word
for another, say it" generously, freely.
A genial influence follows the man or
woman Of kind and prudent speech; and
very uncertain one follows the malic-
ious or careless talker.-Ch Christian Adj
vocate.

fered an irreparab1e loss, and the COM
munity an upright, honorable and useful
citisen;-one who, by his meritorious
zeal in the discharge of his duty and his
constant devotion to righteousness and
holy living, has won the respect and adj
miration of all, and especially the mem
bers Of this League, Of which he was q
charter member; therefore, be it
Resolved, That while we meekly and
with humility bow to the decree of the
Divine will, we cannot but mourn the
sad visitation by which this League, and
the Sunday schools and churches Of
Benton, have lost SO faithful and efficient
member and co-laborer, and the COM
munity at large an honorable citizen;
and be it
Resolved, That we deeply sympa-
thize with the relatives in the loss they
have sustained, and recommend them
for consolation to Him "who doeth all
things WE'LL" and be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions b.
spread upon our minutes, and cop,
furnished the Banner for publication.
