HAVE SEEN MANY CHANGES
SeafOrd Citizen Relates of Ye OIden Time
Days on the TalIOw Dip.

There are men living in Seaford who
were born before there was railroad
in the country or a steamboat or street
car or telephone or lightning rod or
reaper mower or iron plow or sewing
machine or daily paper. When he was
born the ground was stirred with a
wooden mouldbOard plough; the grain
was harvesred with a sickle and
threshed with wooden stick, His
clothes were made on hand loom and
sewed together by the light of tallow
dip. In his boyhood it took as long
or longer to travel from Seaford to
st. Louis than it would take now to
travel twice around the whole earth.
He was born in the days of the tallow
dip, the ox-cart and the flail; he lived to
see the age of the electric light, the
train moving sixty miles an hour, and
steam threshers which separate two
thousand bushels of wheat per day
from the straw.-SedfOrd N'etCS.

The Sons of the American RevOlu-

The glorious Fourth is over, and the
usual number of victims are recorded.
The toy pistol has been hopelessly dis
tanced by the giant fre-cracker. When
will the people become civilized enough
to celebrate the day in a way worthy
OF its deep meaning and of thinking
people. We ridicule the barbarous
war dance and tom-tom beating of the
savage Indians. Are the millions of
idiots who hurt themselves and others
and destroy property by means of ex-
plosives, any better? Rev. Campbell
Morgan, the successor of Moody,
truthfully says about this manner of
celebrating:
"some newspapers call your cele-
bration barking back toward barbar-
ism. I agree with that opinion. What
significance is there in q thirty-six
hour carnival of noise? The burning
OF 10000 pounds of gunpowder, will
not bring you one whit nearer the ideal
that Washington followed through
battle and storm and STRESS"

Death in SunburRh.

Mrs. Henry Torgerson of Sunburgh
died very suddenly last Friday night.
She was taken sick Immediately after
supper Friday evening and died early
Saturday morning. DR.. Dowswell was
summoned but did not arrive until af-
ter she was dead. The cause of death
is not definitely known. For several
years she had been afflicted with ca
tarrh OF the stomach, and it is thought
that something she ate for supper did
not agree with her, which caused vio-
lent vomiting. resulting in death. A
husband, her mother, two brothers
and sister survive. She was mar
rled year ago last month and her
antimely death is much regretted by
her numerous friends who feel the
deepest sympathy for the bereft bus
band. She was the daughter of Mrs.
Gertrude Monson, of Hayes. The fu-
neral was held Tuesday from the
North Norway Lake church, Rev.

was caused by eating canned peas that
