JOHN McGRATH.


twenty-five years ago, their eldest
daughter, Mary, plighted her love and
life to the husband who has always
been a source of strength and pride to
the family; and the same date, April
%, also witnessed the birth of the first
grandchild,- who awakened the love
that has been given freely to every
succeeding child whose happy fortune
it has been to claim a place at the Nc
Grath fireside.
All the children of the aged pair are
now residents of Brookhaven except
one-James, who lately moved to Can
ton. When he went away every friend
who knew of the strong domestic ties,
and of the family circle, heretofore un-
broken save by death, regretted his
going, and every heart of that sacred
circle went out more tenderly to him
and to each other. How sad, then,
must be those hearts now that the
strong hand that bound and riveted
that tie as indissolubly as human
power could do, is cold and still in the
clasp of death. But such things have
been and must be. 1t is consoling to
realize that
The living are the dead who sleep
n
Shall live some Golden Day.
Mr.. McGrath will be keenly missed
not only by members of his devoted
family, but he will be long and fondly
remembered by all who knew him.
Kindness and consideration for others
seemed the dominating principle of
his life. He was everybody's friend
and everybody was his. Naturally of
sanguine temperament and of a
cheerful and happy disposition, his
presence carried sunshine wherever he
went. He never seemed so happy as
when speaking word of encourage
ment or doing a kindly act. He was
one, too, who could weep with those
who weep, as we'll as rejoice with those
in exaltation. The writer does not
remember attending funeral in
Brookhaven, before the last two, that
his form and kindly face did not ap-
pear among sympathizing friends and
mourners, and though nearly four
score years had passed over his head,
no one was more ready than he to lend
active assistance in the last service
the living can perform for the dead.
He never looked or appeared to feel
old, and the passing years seemed 10th
to tinge his dark locks with the frost
of age, or to add another wrinkle, here
or there, to his pleasant visage. 1t is
hard indeed to realize that "Mr. Nc
Grath," whom all knew and esteemed;
"Uncle Johnnie" everybody's friend;
and Grandpa" beloved of all the chill
dren, will be seen among US no more
| forever.

The Stars and Stripes Lowered
to a Higher Standard.

We CLEAN the following from lee
ture recently given in New Orleans,
by Capt. Richmond p Hobson, on
"Tbe Age of Science and its Relation
to Mankind" He thinks the more we
know about science" the more we
will adore the author of all science
God. In his judgment, the world is on
the upgrade, the religion of the Lord
Jesus Christ being the grand source
of power.
'It would be gratifying sight" said
the gallant young sea captain, "for
landsmen to see a fleet of United
States ships every Sunday morning at
1870 o'clock when the bell forward be-
gins to ring softly and slowly, calling
the crew to worship" The flag from
each staff comes slowly down and
another goes up-"the Red Cross flag,
called in the navy the church pen
nant.'" "When it reaches the top of
the flagstaff, the ensign is raised until
it reaches point Immediately under
it, and there it stops" ''The Stars and
Stripes never lowered to any other
flag, is lowered every Sunday morning
to the church pennant, on board every
American man-o war at 1890"

Mr.. Henry M. Bates, Jr., who had
his right leg cut off just below the knee
Christmas morning, is getting along
finely, with every prospect of speedy
recovery. Mr.. Bates has been en-
ployed lately by John McGrath e.
Sons, of Brookhaven, and as soon as
they heard of the accident, Mr.. Martin
McGrath hastened here and rendered
every assistance in his power, stating
that Mr.. Bates salary would go on
during his confinement to bed. This
is indeed generous, but not more so
than was expected by those who know
the big heartedness of every member
of this liberal firm Summit Sentinel.

CARD OF THANKS.

In honor to the living aud our be-
loved dead, we wish to express, how
ever family, something of our graft
tude to friends for kindnesses and
helpful sympathy during our recent
trial and present sorrow. Our thanks
are especially due our faithful pastor,
Rev. A. Althof, and other ministers
and friends for acts of kindness. We
are deeply grateful to the members of
the choir for the sweet music fur
nished at the last sad service and for
the magnificent floral offerings, ex-

so many friends. When sorrow broods
in their homes, may the love and
sympathy they have given to US, be to
them solace and blessed assurance
in their time of distress.
