The ChildTen's Day exercises. on Sun
day evening last was an occasion long
to be remembered. These services have
always been successful, but if numbers |
are a measure of success, this one was
more than up to any ones expectations.
Every person for miles around seemed
anxious for admission, and the town re-
minded the writer Of a circus day We
hicles and teams Of every description
filled the town, and the church was full
to overfowing-no half the crowd
could gain admittance. The scholars
had been rehearsing many weeks, and
took their parts exceedingly well. The
collection amounted to 5000, which
greatly pleased the officials. Esquire
Eilegood delivered an address which
was much appreciated.

the Children's Day service on Sunday

hard laborer, the money was earned by
the sweat of his brow and the loss will
be keenly felt We are loath to sug-
gest such a thing as a pickpocket in
this sober, honest and pious cOmmu-
nifty: but this is u very suspicious case.

departed this life June II, 1900:
One year has passed, and oh we miss him;
Friends may think the wound has healed;
But God alone knows the sorrow
That lies within our hearts concealed.
Thou art gone but not forgotten.
In this great world of strife
Thou shall always be remembered
AS long as God gives us life.
We count the days since thou has left us,
And the days seem, oh, so long
Without dear Fred
Who has gone to his heavenly home.
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In thy peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory we will cherish
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Gone but not forgotten.

EDITOR AND Proprietor

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has laid
the third term ghost by issuing
signed statement, which has effec-
lively closed any hope his enthu-
siastic friends may have enter
tanned for his nomination in 1904.
The President would not be insen-
sible to so great all honor as to
hold the Office of Chief Magistrate
of the United States for twelve
years; but his good sense must tell
him, that the people are not now
ready to throw down the custom,
which is unwritten law, which
limits a President to two terms,and
that if nominated it is doubtful if
even one State i'll the UnionWould
endorse the third terml4dea. Pres
ident McKinleys4by nipping the
third third term boom in its bud, has
given evidence of his strength o
mind and character, which viii
place his administration in thu
forefront of American history.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition Of the mucous lining
fthe Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is
iniiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infiam.
nation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mOcOus surfaces.
