OBITUARY..

D1ED-At the family residence in Langdon, N /.
Dak., on Sunday, May IS, 1902, at four o'clock
a, NJ, Michael Farrell, aged eighty-sis years
ard FOUR months. Funeral held Tuesday.
In the death of Michael Farrell, in his
eighty-sixth year. at four o'clock last Sun
day morning, Langdon is called spon to
mourn the loss of one OF it's Oldest and
most prominently known citizens. Re-
psatedly of late it has been demonstrated
in this community that the angel Of death
is no rsspecter OF persons, having taken
the babe from the cradle, the mother
budding into womanhood, the husband
in middle life, and last the aged parent,
enc who had more than rounded out the
allotted three score years and ten, and
was known and beloved by young and
old alike. Many Langdon homes have
been visited by death since the year b.
gan and today it is the home Of the widow
of Michael Farrell and her children who
suffer bereavement.
As stated above. deceased was ose Of
the Oldest and best know residents Of
Langdon and the close of his long career
was brought about almost entirely by the
final breaking up of the vitality Of .
rugged old pioneer, who had scarcely
kaown . days lllness in his life. With his
physical strength Of years gone bye slow
" ebbing away, and fast approaching a
second childhood, mentally, the lssg life
came to close quietly and peacefully.
Michael Farrell was born IN Kildare
county, Ireland iu 1915 and came to
America in 1845, making Boston, Macs,
his home until 1856 Deceased was mar
riea to the aged wife, whose loneliness
has the Sympathy Of all, in 1850. For forty
years previous to coming here in 1896,
the family home was in Iowa, and it is
known that the uprightness Of his lene
career there placed him foremost among
the citizens Of the community in which
he lived.
Michael Farrell will long be remember
ed IN Langdon as bright, genial ane
companionable old gentleman, esteemed
by tho townstolks, where his declining
years have bseA spent after laying down
the burden Of toll, together with bis wifi
enjoying the sunset OF useful life, lov

NEWS FOR ASTRONOMERS.
Long years ago there
lived in a beautiful valley in
the Land Of Nod peasant
named Sam Pears. One night
the fairies brought to his
house a lovely baby girl. She
was very good, and when she
learned to walk she played
with the fairies in the woods
near by. When eight years old
she started to school. She was
called Star, because the fairies
said that when she died she
would turn to a star.
She was a very bright
pupil, and learned her les
sons well. When she was
twenty years old she began
to teach school in the city.

Among the brilliant lights
who were once assembled at
the court of Thetis, king Of
Atlantis, was Calculus, the in

born at Tisar, Atlantis, and
passed his early life at that
place. At eighteen he grad
uated from Kohor college with
high honors. At the age of
nineteen he began building
an airship, which he named
the Uranus. When King Thetis
heard of his invention he
asked him to use it to the
best Of his ability in a good
cause, and conquer new lands

GEORGIA AN EXPOSITION STATE,

There can be no doubt that our state
has set the example and the pace for
all her southern sisters in the matter
of Expositions and Fairs. We began
with the Cotton States Exposition in
81; followed that up with two others,
the last in '95, each larger and better
than the one preceding it, and between
whites held a State Fair every year,
as we'll as the Atlanta Fair, which sue
ceeded to the great Exposition of 49,
We have drawn largely upon the good
will and sympathy of our sister states
the Union over, but because of con
stitutionaI restrictions the state as
such has not been able to do much for
the Expeditions held in other commu
mites. By some means an exhibit
partial only, was made of our min
erals at the Pan-American, and practi
caIly the same material is now on
view at Charleston, but the state is
not fairly represented. II is too late
for us to get up an exhibit for Charles
ton of the wonderful and varied prod
ucts of our farms, mines, forests and
factories, but we can go over and show,
our neighbors and the world the kind
of men and women we produce. 1t is
not too late for that kind of an exhibit
and after all that is the best kind.
Show us your citizenTy and We will
tell you what kind of state you have,
Moreover it is the sort of exhibit
which at this time will be most appre
ciated by our brethren of South Caro-.

prise our section has ever seen. 1t is
intended to help the whole south, and
will do so, but our people have not ap,
preciated it's magnitude or beauty, and
have therefore not given it the support
which it so well deserves. Railroad
rates to Charleston are phenomenally
low, the weather is delightful there,
the trip is a short one, nearly every
one can spare the time and money re
quired and no one will regret it.

GEORGIA IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The exhibit of the Empire State of
the South is now in place at the
Charleston Exposition and makes a
brave show of the mineral resources
of the old red hills" A conspicuous
feature, of course, is the display of
the various marbles which are now be-
ing quarried and shipped from the
state, including serpentine, white, pink
and gray. The space is outlined in
by four beautiful Corinthian columns,
the tallest, Is feet in height, being
white; the other three, somewhat
shorter ones, being pink, black and
white and variegated. These columns
are polished and adorned in the best
manner known to the marble worker
and are fitting exemplars of what is
fast coming to be considered as the
best marble for constitutional pur-
poses in the world. From one of these
Georgia Quarries were recently ship
ped four monoliths, each of which
weighed more than 100000 pounds of
pure solid marble without crack or
flaw. The new capitol of Minnesota
is built of Georgia marble. and the
builders the country over are using it
where strength, tenacity and weather
ing qualities are required
A large glass case in which are as
sembled numerous specimens of
beauXite and the metal aluminium,
which is extracted from it, as well as
utensils of various kinds, which look
like silver and last like iron, attracts
great deal of attention. Then there
are granite monuments, case upon
case of mineral specimens. embracing
the whole record of mineralogy, a
magnificent collection of building
stones and handsome plush lined
case. filed with gems and nuggets of
gold. The most gratifying feature of
the exhibit is the fact that every speci-
men is Georgia product, and with the
| exception possibly of the gems and
nuggets, may be duplicated ad infini-
tum. Professor Yates has done his
work well, and the only regret that
any Georgian can feel in the premises
is that there is no agricultural dis.
| play commensurate with the resources
of the state.
