TRIBUTE TO MRS. SAWYER
BY REV. J. R. FINDLEY

Conncaut, Ohio, April 29.-In The

more extended notice.
knew her first as a daughter and
sister, afterwards as wife and
mother, and she was not found
wanting in either of these relations.
The home of her childhood was
brighter for her presence in it, and
her withdrawal from il after her
marriage removed the central figure.
She was a home maker wherever she
was. For mother and brothers she
was IL home maker; for husband and
sons she was the same. The latter
home was bright for more than u
quarter of a century becauses she
was in it. She was the light of the
home and bright light. Quiet, I'M
assuming but resolute. she adapted
! herself to circumstances.
| She schooled herself for the duties
and responsibilities that might come
to her and was always ready to meet
them. Next to the comfort of her
husband was her anxiety for her
sons. She watched their growth
from childhood TO manhood with the
greatest interest,"; not of the body
only but of the mind and soul. She
was anxious to have them grow up
men, and such men as would he cap
able of filling responsible positions
both in church and state. | have
seen a number of communications
from her to my daughter, written
during her long and painful illness.
in which reference was made to hus-
band and sons. In these communica-
lions she always Expressed herself as
resigned to Gods will whatever that
might be. but said she would like to
| live to see the full development of her
boys.
She wanted to know that their
characters were fully established in
Righteousness. She wanted to assist
her husband so far as human agency
could accomplish it, to round out
their manhood.
She never consulted her own com
fort. but was greatly concerned for
the welfare of her family.
Such a wife and mother must have
been the light of the home and the
home without her must seem dark.
But there is this consolation: She
was a christian. true christian, and
we know that her light has not gone
out. 1t has only been transferred to
another apartment and is burning
still more brightly than ever. That
noble and pure life that was first
lived with parent and brothers and
afterwards with husband and sons,
and lived so well, is Perpetuated.
Yes, she has just commenced to live.
She has left us an example worthy
of emulation. She was model
daughter, model sister, model
wife, model mother, model chris
tian. She has gone to her reward.
Her death was peaceful. She fell
asleep in Jesus. BLESSED be her
memory" REV. j. II. FINDLEY.

OLD PAPER FOUND
Copy of Missouri Republican Of
81 Found at Sacred Heart
Parsonage
LYING UNDER STONE IN FLOOR
A Type of the Metropolitan Daily OF
Half a Century
Ago.

Rev. j. F. Lockney is having some
interior improvements made at the
parsonage of Sacred Heart church.
Among other changes new oak floors
are being put down in place of the
old pine floors that were placed in
the building at the time of its con-
struction 81 years ago. The other
day when the old floor was being
taken up one of the workmen raised
the large stone that lay in front of
the fireplace in one of the parlors.
Beneath ii he found newspaper,
which upon examination proved to- he
Il copy of the Daily Missouri Repub-
Iican. printed in St. Louis and dated
Tuesday morning, June ,, 1851. The
paper had evidently lain under the
stone for full half a century, but it
was found well preserved. On one
of the margins was written in an old
fashioned hand James Warwick,
June 10, 1851, Washington, Pennsyl-
vania."
7 The paper is four-page blanket
sheet affair and affords Il good idea
of what the metropolitan press re-
sembled half century ago. The
pages are just double in size those
of The Argus and each contains 10
columns of finely printed matter,
nearly all being advertising rather
irreguIarIy classified. Three of the
pages. including the first. closely re-
semble the want page of the large
dailics of the present time.
Peculiar Ads.

Using matter reflects the conditions
of the times more strillingIy than the
news columns. The patent medicine
man. was not forgotten in the ads of
the Republican. One entire column
printed in very small type is devoted
to testimonials in behalf of 'Morti-
more's Rheumatic Compound" From
the nature of the testimonials il ap-
pears that MOrtimore fifty years ago
had the medicine men of the present
day beaten to "A standstill. The mcr-
chant with Il fire sale on was also in
evidence, and the bargains he had to
offer are astonishing.
There are no railway timetables,
but in their place there is a column
devoted TO setting forth the speed.

STEAMER SIDNEY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE AT QUINCY

The most thrilling experience of
all and possibly the most sensational
piece of plotting ever witnessed on
the Mississippi river was at the
Quincy bridge Saturday. says the
Quincy journal, when the steamer
Sidney was waiting for the bridge
draw to open. The wind was blowing
a perfect gale and it seemed sure that
the great steamer would be unable
to stand out against the terrible wind
and would be dashed to pieces in a
few moments.
The wind was developing into a hur-
ricane. The great boat seemed Il
thing of life, and keen TO her sense of
danger as she gave startling
screech for the draw to open. which
the bridge tender lost no time in do
ing. The fearful velocity of the wind
was turning the boat slowly but sure
~. there was no room to change its
course or back out. The pilot signal
cd for more steam and headed to-
ward the breaker to offset the power
of the wind, then she made the run
cat n correred'' through the draw
the pilot holding her so her wheel
went alongside the ice breaker, not an
inch to spare, and just missing the
piers by Il hairs breadth. and at
terrific speed. 1t was indeed a nice
feat of plotting, showing the large
list of passengers there were still Of
ticers in charge of boats that are
masters of the situation, no matter
how dangerous. Then landing at
Quincy the storm broke upon the
town in all its fury and for half an
hour matters looked 'mystcrious"
but soon quoted down somewhat,
and the good old boat started for
Hannibal. On arriving in sight of the
bridge the wind was 50 strong and
the river so rough she was run to
shore and tied up behind the high
bluffs. there being Il high stone wall
some twenty feet high between the
railroad and the rivers edge, the
lineman being obliged to crawl
through three foot sewer pipe UNI
der the railroad with the ropes and
tie to tree on the other side. Here
the boat remained until Sunday af-
ternoon when she proceeded on her
way to st. Louis.

See the poultry ad. of w. A.
Ellis, Rosa, Ala, before buying.

Hon. Frank A. Critz, of West
Point, Miss, in announcing his
candidacy for Governor, proposes
that Mississippi should have a
commissioner whose duties
should be to promote Agricul'
ture, immigration, Manufactures
and Fisheries. Most states have
commissioners of agriculture or
agriculture and immigration. It
would seem quite a step forward
to have a man to study the adj
vantages, the various points that
might offer for the location of
factories of different kinds, and
thus induce capital as we'll as i'm
migration. We are we'll convinced
that an acre fish pond with the
proper knowledge as to stocking
and handling, can be made as
productive of food as an acre of
the richest garden or orchard.
In most localities the fish pond
can be established and maintain
ed at less expense than the or
chard or garden: For agricul-
ture too much cannot be done.
Much asour College and Stations
are doing their work could be
greatly supplemented, strength
ened and made more effective by
such a department inr our State
government. We 60 enough out
of our usual course to commend
this suggestion in the direction
of constructive craftsmanship as
being decidedly more promising
of good than most of the issues
already being brought forward.
