M. D. Thomas who has been City
Marshal since last fall, resigned his
position, Monday, and turned his
star over to the Mayor. He resigned
that he may run his threshing out
tit and attend to other business
matters. 1t is admitted by everyone
that he has been one of the most
diligent and faithful officials the
town has ever had, and many regret
that he has resigned. The Mayor
appointed P. ]. Keelan to fill his
place and he took up his duties, on
doubt but what he can and will fill
the place with credit to himself and
to the best interests of the town.

Last Tuesday the Angel of Death
entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis Edwards, of Aunubon town
ship, and carried away the spirit of
their little son, Vincent, to the dis
tant and unknown shores of eterni-
ty. Little Vincent had been an in
valid all his life, never being able
to enjoy the pleasures and past
times and sports so common to boy
hood days. After short life of pa
tient endurance he passed away;
but during the few tleeting years Of
life he was tenderly cared for by
hands of love that administered to
his wants with a feeling of sympa-
thy and sacred duty that made his
care sweet pleasure and filled his
little soul with joy. Kind friends
and loved ones, during his life,
spoke many kind words and per-
formed numberless deeds that are
now cherished in memory but the
tenement of clay now rests in the
cemetery in Audubon township, on
their own farm. Many prescious
memories of the past will be recall
ed when the loved ones of the de-
parted stand by the little mound of
mother earth that marks his last
resting place.

If, as the Greeks and Romans be.
lieved a spirit dwells in every tree
and what tree-lover would doubt it?
that peculiar family of spirits that
inhabits the apple tree must be a
very human sort. AS l sit here on
an old post that lies near the fence
and look up into the orchard
through which 1 have just come,
the friendliness of the apple tree is
impressed upon me anew. The palm
holds her fruit away up out of our
reach, the strawberry hides hers
under it's broad leaves; almost all
other berries guard theirs with
thorns; but the apple greets us with
outstretched, welcoming arms, and
holds her fruit within easy reach,
or drops it in our laps; aud what
royal fruit it is too, fit fruition of
the blossoms! Who can imagine
