~ Richard Mckee, who departed this
life in September, 1895. She leaves
two daughters, Misses Ida and
Blanche, who, with many friends and
relatives, mourn her loss Ahou, one
year ago she WAS seized with The
malady, which proved fatal. A few
days before death she expressed to
the writer her belief that he days
we're about numbered and thst she
was in readiness for The fnal hour.
Her sutlerlngs, which were severe,
were bourne with remarkable forii-

was an example of those who have

writer's pleasure Ia be with her
number ot times during her sickness,
and nothing seemed to interest her
more than prayer and conversation on
the scriptures, espocislv those psssa-

THANKSGIVING DAY.

A long time ago the President
of these United States said be-
cause Of the great plenty in our
garners as a yield from the earth,
because of peace with all nations,
because of freedom from pest-
lence. because Of the favor OF God
in that he is converting the world,
a day is set apart and shall be OBJ
served when thanks shall be rem
dered to Him from whom cometh
all blessings, and the glad refrain
was taken up by the Governors OF
the States and Mayors OF the cit
les until day Of formal praise
and thanksgiving was almost uni
versal. Is if that way today? IS
not the practice becoming obso-
lete? All told within our borders
and on streets contiguous thereto,
including our towns population,
the colored peoples towns,
there are near g, 900 people in Mt.
Sterling and to observe the
thanksgiving day there were only
about 200 people who assembled
at the Baptist church to hear the
thanksgiving sermon delivered by
Rev. G. A. Joplin and to give
aims for the poor, and of this num-
Der about one third were men.
There were seven preachers, one
carpenter, two wholesale mer-
chants. three bankers, one den
tist, two shoe-makers, one coal
merchant, one dentist, one express
agent, one farmer, two insurance
agents, two publishers, some vlsi-
tors and the rest were women

1895 in history. philosophy. and jurispru-
dence. Prof. Silver Is now professor OF
history at Hobart College, Geneva, n. Y.
Mr.. Bayless, the husband of Prof ST.

a much larger amount than the Berne
tribunal gave. Although they will proba-
Oily get large amount vet il will not be

Books for Children.

An Atlanta educator has made out a list
Of books which 1t is good for children to
read, and he has various things to say
about the desirability of parental super
vision Of Juvenile books. He says thai
parents should know what their children
are reading, and that, on account of the
natural secretiveness OF the youthful ma
ture, very few of them do know.
There is some truth in this, but 1t can
hardly be said that children are as a rule
naturally inclined to deceit in these mat
tiers. The imperfection of home training
has something 10 do with it, In many
cases the child is restricted to so limited
library that. seeking more or less blind
ly for mental recreation, he happens on
harmful books, and reads them with a sort
OF sub-conscious impression that they are

good ones. The average child's desires,
physical and mental. are healthy; but If it
