BIGBI VILlE.

Bigbyville, July 81. eve know not
the day nor the hour when the sum
mons may come" How truly was this
verified when on yesterday morning
death claimed the youthful spirit of
Thomas GoOdrum. He had been sick
but a few days, and to all appearances
was doing well, when suddenly the
summons came. 1t was quite shock
to the community when the announce
ment was made that Tom Goodrum
was dead and many heart heaved a
sigh He was held in highest esteem
by all he was affable, courteous and
kind in all his relations; a general
fav0rite with all, popular with his
associates and beloved by pastor and
church. In early young manhood he
gave his heart to God and united with
the Cumberland church at McCains,
which church was the beloved church
OF his salnted mother through whose
, influence he was guided to the sacred
hall and taught to love and obey his
Creator in early youth Tom was just
nineteen years of age. We will miss
him lat home, at church, and i'll the
community, for Tom was a social
friend to man. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. M. e. Gabard, as
sisted by Rev. Morris, and were at
tended by II large conc6urse of sorrow
ing friends and relatives The grave
was made in the ehurch-yard at Nc
Gains. We extend our sympathy to
sthe hereaved father and brothers and
would point them to Him who is the
| comforter too, of the sorrOWing.
Seth Perry, we regret to say, who

In Memory of Cora AdkissOn, who
Died July 25. 1901.

Chaste as morning dew
She sparkled, WAS eXhaled,
And went to heaven"
How long we live, not years, but &C
tiOns tell Cora was only 27 years Old,
and We say she was too young to di-;
but her work was finished, then why
keep her here longer away from her re
ward in Gods own home. In the few
short years of her life, she had
crowded as much noble, useful work
for her Master as many do who live to
three score yeals and ten. 70 those
who knew her intimately she was an OBJ
iect of sincere admiration, for her ex-
ample IN the smallest detail inspired
effort. Untiring in her endless calls to
duty she struggled on, even TO the point
of sacrifice. Ever forge full of self, she
spent her whole life administ ring to
the pleasures and comforts of others. 10
her nature she possessed all those
graces which go to MAJ up the charac-
ter of Womanly woman. Her iufiu
enCe for good cannot be measured; for
it does not stop with her death, but
| liy, on and on in the lives of all those
with whom she was assoc iated. Cora
was an earnest christian worker, and

missed IN the social circle, for her

/ bright ray Of sunshine, ever with her
cheerful disposition and bright, happy
conversation dispelling the gloom and
/ dtspondency which came to the family.
/ When told that she had the consump
tion, and that she must soon die, she
did not grieye; but with that calm reslg-
nation which only the truly good can
feel, she gracefully submitted to Gods
will. She remained cheerful TO the last
and begged the family not to grieve toe
much for she was going to such beau
tiful home. Cora's life was beautiful
one, and her death, though so sad, was
beautiful too. Such submission is be
yond the ordinary. Quietly she closed
her eyes, and with silence only as theil
benedictioD, the Angels of God came
and waited Der gentle spirit home. Rev
Nj. +. Gabard of Franklin, assisted by
Rev. Peoples of Columbia, and Rev
Morris of McCains, conducted the bu.
rial services. A large number of friends
assembled at McCains church to pay
their respects, for none knew her but L

BANKER C. E. PENICK'S BODY
Body of the Missing Charlton DAD
Banker Found Floating in
Lake Michigan.

Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Tribune from Racine, Wis, says:
The body of c. f. Penicl, the bank
er of Charlton, Ia, and brother of
eX-Congressman Penick, was dlseov-
cred floating in Lake Michigan, Tues
day evening, not a hundred feet from
where he fell into the Lake from the
steamer Virginia on Friday. Two
men fishing from the pier both claim
10 have been the first to see the body,
and each wants the $500 reward for
finding the body. The body found
and the clothing tally completely with
the description given of the Charlton
banker. The general opinion now is
that the victim fell from the boat
while sleeping on the upper deck, and
that it was not a case of suicide.

If you are truly friend of mine

If kindly toward me you incline

Why hide your feelings from my sight,
And kindly deeds, however slight,

O'e1whelms to show your sympathy.
In halting words | trust not
Can | in their sincerity
Have faith? ! cannot, must not.
If you a generous impulse have
pray you not to check it
Till | am laid within my grave
When you may come to deck it
With tiOrals that cannot reveal
To me one 1.-THE of what you feel;
But | would rather you express,
In unobtrusiye gentleness
Your friendship III the present,
So might relieve concealed distress
And make existence pleasant.
If you believe that you can gauge
Your speech to such power
That will the pangs of illness suage
Or cheer Saddened hOur,
Why should the favor be denied
While health and happiness abide
With me2 If friendship can bestow
Such comfort in an hour of woe
Who may essay to measure
The worth of friendship one would
know
The same in grief and pleasure?
Does some austere formality,
Persistently pursuing,
Repress all feelings that should be
Unshackled for the doing
OF kindnessesY Pray turn about
And put her feeble force to route;
Her emissary, swift of wings.
Public Comments puny sting,
Has proven man the coward
More frequently than anything
Known i'll our times untOward.
If idle talk or thoughtless deed
OF mine in aught offend you,
o may forgiveness and the need
OF peace she gives attend you.
But if some mutual likings find
A Judgment in congenial mind
And merge into a friendship true,
Acknowledgement of it will do
More to make happy hours
Than praise belated, or, in lieu,
A world of funeral flowers.
o, hasten, day of brotherhood,
And reign of natural feeling;
All that is noble, all that's good,
Heart unto heart revealing.
Away with formal courtesy,
The Oft employed diplomacy,
For social and commercial gain,
Away, that we may see the reign
OF Truth, devoid Of seeming,
And high above life stormy main
Millenium's bright star beaming.

Valuation VIII Yield q Total Tax Of
$500. 600


The total valuation In the state, as
aqualized by the state board, is $12,926,-
DOB. which is an increase of S1S4 over the
valuation of the roads last year. The
Incl ease Is practically all represented
by new mileage. as the other changes
in valuation were very slight, and the
Increase, where 1t was made, was prac-
tically balanced by the slight reduc-
tons on branches. The roads are sub
ject to local taxation by counties, and
as the average rate ever the state last
year was % mills on the dollar and will
probably he about the same this year,
tn etotal taxes paid by railroads will
not be far below $500, 900. At the aver
age rate of taxation, the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul will be called on to
pay nearly $125,000: the Northwestern,
over $4,000, and the Great Northern,
nearly $4,000, the balance to be made
up by the smaller roads and terminals
in the state The smallest tax will be
paid by the Forest City & Gettysburg
road, which, at the average rate, would
pay $500.
The valuation of all the roads in the
state, by systems, is as follows: Chica-
go. Milwaukee & St. Paul, $5,osO,9SS;
Chicago & Northwestern, $3,463, 4S4;
