An Obituary.

BY the hand Of death has another
fallen. Milton B. Swaney, son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. l.. Swaney, died at the
parental home, in Cameron township,
on Thursday, June la, 1900.
Deceased was born in Audubon
county, November &c, 1879, and the
scenes of his life have all been laid in
and about the home in which he died.
His boyhood was singularly pure an6.
free from anything suggestive of evil,
and lite-t time acquaintance are among
the ones whose friendship was strong
est and whose grief is honest. We
have known him as one of the few
who have taken time in boyhood to
ponder the possibilities OF life and to
frame plans tor their realization. The
earnestness and noble aspirations with
which he approached manhood's por-
tails only render this the sadder and
more appalling; for he stood on the
very threshold of manhood. This
year would have swept him across
into the new lite, which is the goal of
every boys longing. He had careful
ly equipped himself for the worlds
arena, and would have, one day, won
honors there. He is an alumnus of
the Gray High School and the grief
of his classmates is the deeper, that
he is the first of their number to fall.
Sorrowing friends everywhere ex-
| tend to the bereft and troubled family
their heartfelt sympathy in words
which might ever be balm to heal
the wounded heart. Milton was a
noble boy, he was loved and admired
by his companions and friends, and
the world is better for his having
lived in it.

Comrade of the teachers corps, goodbye
The school-bells ring; and we forget,
And look again to see thy smiling face
Where once the merry children it did greet
Thou hast obeyed that final call;
Yet, in our weakness, we would call thee back
Again into the dregs of the earth
We have lain thee, comrade, where the summer
winds
Will fan those sweet flowers into bloom
Which childish hands once placed upon tn,
desk
To win thy smile, sunlight to heavy hearts.
Smiles. strange wanderers mid pain.
Upon thy death-cold face still linger-
Mute evidence that thy weary soul
When loosed from its letters of CALLING clay,
Deserted that sunny land of peace and love,
And thither glided like thistle down
Is waited on the balmy winds of autumn.
