AND PERISH AS OTHER NATIONS
HAVE DONE.

| HAVE DoNE.
| Unpatriotic as 1t may seem to think
that nation of the standing of our
own shall decline and perish, yet close
study of the question will lead one to
| believe that nation as we'll as a
| human life has three stages, namely,
| the growth, the mature, the decline
That this law has no exception is
| shown in the history of man and of
| nations.
This question in larger sense is,
"Will All Nations Decline and Per-
ish?"
According TO the law Of growth and
decline, all things perish sooner or
later. Man, who is highest in rank
/ and power, perishes; the tree grows
and falls; the flower shoots up and
withers, nations rise and fall; and
the earth on which every thing is,
shall also fall.
| There is not nation up to the pres
ent time which has stood for any
great length of time. The only thing
by which we can judge nations of the
present is by the past. Looking we
find that they grew up and flourished
as the United states is doing today,
but that they gradually declined and
| fell. Rome, Greece, the Alexandrian
Empire, and Spain. all fourished and
| fell Then, what is there in the path
to hinder our own nation from doing
the same?
You might say that the people of
today are more civilized than those of
the fallen natio~s. The Spaniards,
who are people of today, are falling
from power or rave practically de-
clined. Some authorities say, and it
is true that the nations of today have
not reached the height of the civiliza-
ton of Greece and Rome Then, is
there any obstacle in the way of our
nations fall?
! OF all nations ours resembles most
nearly the Roman. The Roman ma
| ton arose from few cities like our
own, freed itself from bondage and
seized land from neighboring tribes,
! just as our forefathers seized this land
from the Indians. The natural bound
aries and those fixed by the forefath-
ers of the Roman republic, were the
Alps, but these boundaries were brok-
Ell by greed, and greed it was which
caused the downfall of Rome.
The boundaries of our forefathers
| have been overrun.
AS Rome, our country is composed
of factions or parties hostile to each
other. Great civil strifes were
brought on by the parties of Rome
and it was through the corruption of
| these parties that Rome fell.
The parties of our country are cor
rupt, which cannot be denied, and
they produce long and bitter civil
strifes. AS these were the downfall
of Rome why will they not be of our
nation?
Our nation has already completed a
stage; and as everything else in the
universe after completing the first
stage completes the second, then the
United States will decline and perish.

Mrs. Ben Blades.

The many friends here of Mr..
Blades, Ben as we all know him,
will be gricvcd to learn of the sad
aiiliction that has bcfallcn him in
the loss of his companion FOR the
last eighteen years. Mrs, Blades
whose maiden name was Mis- Mary
Kelly, was born at Philadelphia,
August IL, 1876 She moved with
her parents to st. Louis when she
was but 1 years of age and remain
cd there until she came to Mont
gomery In 1881. In Fcbrua-
~ 1882 she wa united In marriage
to her now hcartbroken husband
Mr. and Mrs. Blades remained
here until 1894 when they moved
to Mobcrly where they lived ut the
time Of Mrs. Blades death June ~,
1901. The heartfelt sympathy of
the friends here goes out TO Mr..
Blades and his two mothcrlcss
daughters. We can only point
them to the Supreme Architect of
the Universe for consolation, with
the assurance that he docth all
things well. and what now Is an
inscparablc, irrcpnsablc loss may
only be n crucial fire to separate
the dross from the pner metal.
The God who has withcred the
tree In its MONDAY existence has
not blightcd the fruit and In the
noble development OF those left
here on earth we will see her good
example pcrpetuatcd ON the green
sward OF memory.
The remains were laid to rest In
