The colored folk had made consider
able preparation for their picnic last
Saturday and had gone to an expense
of about $l75. They had barbecued a
beef, three sheep and a hog. besides
having sixty gallons of ice cream and
other supplies from St. Louis. OF
course, the continued rain made the
picnic a complete failure but they
went to the hall where they succeeded
in d~isposing some of their supplies.
The loss is about $50.

pal Church desire to sincerely express
their thanks to all who so generously
contributed 10 their festival of the

music by those who gave their time
and talent to make the evening enjoy

and enterprise and we bespeak for him
unbounded success in the management
of affairs here, and also insure him the
hearty cooperation of all u citizens
in the development of this industry
which means so much for our town.
Development of the mine will be made
on a much larger scale than heretofore
and many improvements will be made.

An exchange contains the following
very pretty sentiment: People kiss
their dead who never stoop to kiss
their living: they hover owe open
caskets with hysterical sobs, but fail
to throw the wealth affection about
those loved ones who are fighting the
stern battles in life. How unheedingly
we permit the opportunities for carry
ing sunshine into the lives of those We
love to pass by. A word of cheer to a
struggling soul in life is worth more
than all the roses in C~hristendom
piled high on casket covers. The
dead cannot smell the fragrance Of the
flowers, but the living can; scatter
them broadcast in their pathway,
therefore, and pluck out the thorns.
A welcome smile, a CHEEKY "well
DONE" and a%tfectionate look will cause
a rift to break in the lowering clouds
and permit the glorious sunshine to
gladden. the lives of those you love.
DR.. Goulding died at his home In
this city Monday, June 30th, at 1925
o'clock, aged "a years, four months
and 20 days. The DR.. had been in
very poor health for ONE time, and
the announcement of his death was no
surprise. The deceased was a native
Of England but spent the greater part
of his life in this country. For thirty
years he was a resident of the Valley.
He was a man far beyond the usual
attainments, and his knowledge of
people and affairs almost remarkable.
He had an extensive acquaintance
throughout the State and his friends
we're everywhere. He led a very
active life up to the last few years and
the place made vacant by his demise
will not be easily filled. The DR.. was
a good liver, he believed in enjoying
the good things of life, and as a host
he was almost without a peer. Many
a bon Uivant will recall pleasant, hap
py hours spent with the deceased,
Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul
