Iudissolubly connected with the
immense growth of the American
nation has been tire country news
paper AS an institution it has been
a prime fnctor in the development OF
the great west. No sooner Is a town
definitely located than the local
newspaper springs into being with
all the vigorous enterprise cbaruc-
teristic of American journalism.
The country newspaper, in its strict
sense, is an American institution,
says the National Magazine. While
foreign newspapers only contain
court news" and chiefly chronicle
the movements of the aristociWcy,
the personal column of the Arneri-
can country newspaper recognizes
the sovereign right of the plain peo-
pie of the town or village to rea-
sonable publicity in the personal
mention column. We must con-
fess there is more of picturesque
interest in these simple records than
the stereotyped praise of kings.
dukes and dowagers There is no
periodical that can hope to supplant
the home paper No matter how
much other publications may offer
in the way of illustration, brilliant
literary treasurers, authors with
big names and the prestige of local
state ard national influence, the
home paper has its sacred attention
at the family hearthstone. Ever
the wealth be -dizened suburbanitt
must have a weekly glimpse at the
modest little village paper and who
does not welcome the paper from
the "old home" in it's familiar wrap
per?-Er.

in our fraternal chain has again
been broken.

tions the Christening of Him who
doeth all things we'll and whose

live that when our Summons shall
come we may be prepared to greet
our brother gone before.
Let us cherish onr brother in our

and noble in his character let us
strive to emulate iE ours.
While our loss may be sore, to
those to whom he stood in closer
relation of kinship it is grievous to
be borne, and sincerely mourning
our departed brother we mlngle our
tears with theirs IN a common grief
In submission to the mandate we
can only commend them 20 the care

ready to guide and who can and will
be more than any earthly father or
