THE LAST SCENE OF A RO
NANCE.
written for the HERALD

written for the HERALD.1
On bright and sunny evening,
Near the birth of one New Year,
Two fond hearts were sadly grieving
They must part-these hearts so dear
The bright sunshine meier was needed
AS they shed the bitter tear;
All but darkness now had left them,
Parting time was drawing near.
81 must leave you, sweetest darling,
God has willed that it be So"
Said the youth unto the maiden,
"Duty calls and / must CO."
/ have suffered many troubles
In this cruel world below,
And if God sees best to take me,
To Him in heaven I'll gladly go.
Time has come l must be going,
KISS me, pet, before we part.
Think of me but do not trouble;
Do not cry, 1t breaks my heart.
If no more on earth / see you.
Meet me, love, at heavens gate.
There we'll never part, my darling,
There for you, III stand and wait.
When you reach that Pearly City,
And your smiles / once more see,
Then my joys will be completed,
Life is DER, you've come to me-"

Whereas, our All-wise Heavenly

who shall cherish her memory with
gratitude; therefore be 1t

carry forward the work which she has
laid down.

sorely afflicted by this death, our sym

The people of our community have
been suffering quite good deal with

about the fall terminating so serious

very little hopes are entertained for his
recovery.
Mrs. NJ. T. Walters is improving after
several days illness.

STRANGE AND MACEDONIA.

STRANGE, Feb. 1S.-Death has again
visited this place, and this time claimed
for its victim one of our oldest and most
highly respected citizens, Mrs. Eliza
beth Sims, who departed this life the
9Th inst. She was born June 49,, 1919,
and protested religion when quite
young; was married Dec. IL, 1894, to
William f. Sims, and thirteen children
blessed their union. She was a mem Der
of the Methodist church, a true church
work er, not only in her church but in
all denominations. She was not only a
Christian in name, but also in deed and
truth. She was kind to the friendless,
and never forgot to entertain strangers,
and many will remember the hospitality
shown them during camp meetings and
protracted meetings at Old Mt. JOY.
She was taken i'll with the grip and
pneumonia, and bore her sufferings
with patience; and those who witnessed
the death bed scene, both friends and
children and relatives, should not think
of IL as being sad, but rather as some
thing glorious, as she was at all times
perfectly conscious, and was so willing
to go home to glory that she seemed to
be conversing with those that had gone
on before. Looking up, her last words
were, "Happy, happy" She leaves a
number of children in this county and
in Texas and Arkansas, and also 40
grandchildren and Ii great grand
children, to mourn her death They
should not greive for one that is happy
in heaven, but should strive to meet her
where parti gs are no more. The fun
| eral services were conducted by her
pastor, the Rev. Doss, of Mt. Pleasant,
at Mt. JOY church, from whence large
number Of relatives and friends fol-
! lowed the remains to their last resting
place at Mt Joy cemetery.
Mr. Lonzo Beckhan is not expected to
live but a few days, being ill with con-
sumption.
The grip seems to have full sway over
the entire neigh borhoou. 1t has visited
every home. Those that are very sick
are: Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Craig, Mrs
Sarah Ledbetter, Mr.. James Baily, and
Mrs. Alice Beckham.
Bro. Newt Stock ard filled his appoint
ment at this place yesterday.
Mrs. Felix McClain has several young
chickens, and in the gang is one with
four legs. 1t can walk on three of them,
but the other is too short.
Kinney Il Durham have saw-mill IN
operation at Macedonia.
Mrs. Mart Cooper happened to pain
full accident one day last week. she
was out in the road, when number oil
| horses and colts came running down
the road, and before she could get out
of the way one ran over her, knocking
her down and hurting her very badly
We hope for her speedy recovery.
Mr., Newt McClain has almost com
pleted his store-house.

MOUSE EXPOSED A FRAUD.
WOman's Plan to Obtain Assistance
on Plea of Blindness

A leading oCulist of Montreal whose
practice extends far out side the bound
aries of the city, relates that one Tly u
young women came into his office ac-
companied by an older woman, apIar-
emily the mother, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The young woman wore
colored glasses which one might have
assumed to be superhuous, as it was
claimed that the girl was totally bin B..
What was wanted Of the doctor was Il
certificate authenticaWng this claim Of
blindness, putting it beyond dispute; and
it was frankly stated that the object IN
seeking this was to obtain certain aids
and advantages Of a philanthropic ma
ture impossible Of access otherwise. The
standing Of the oculist was such that
a statement from him would carry full
weight wherever presented.
On examination the surface Of the
eyes gave no indication of any defect;
but that might be so and blindness still
exist. Applying tests Of the strongest
light, the girl protested herself to be
absolutely unable to distinguish between
light and darkness. Other tests wefo re-
sorted to, trying in their nature, and
some of them very painful. and these
were all borne with patience and cour-
age. The doctor was puzzled and
bafled Apparently the girl was stone
problem Of those eyes, to discover the
cause of that blindness or say 1ust
where the defect lay.
The doctor was more than half dis
posed to grant the desired certificate.
when, as a last expedient he hit upon a
rovel experiment. He dismissed his pa
tient with instructions that she should
come again at certain hour the follow
ing day, and this gave the oculist time
to arrange for the carrying out Of his
plan. When the girl came the next day
the doctor had her securely blindfolded
with a heavy bandage over her eyes.
He then took a tiny mouse which he
had procured and held the lively little
thing by it's tail before the girls face,
though not touching her, while he or
dered the bandage to be removed. No
sooner was the bandage off than her
screams rang through the place, and her
eyes were wide with terror at the harm
less little rodent which had thrown her
so completely off her guard and exposed
the imposture. OF course she saw it or
she would not have screamed. Needless
to say the applicant did not get that
certificate.
