Mr.. Thos. w. Gallman and wife and
two children visited their brother, Mr.
J. J. Gallman, last Sunday.
It's blessing to say the health OF
our community is very good at present
According to what the Observer says,
if you want to boom your candidate
you must shel! down. Well, this is
right. Whenever it comes to adver-
tising a man in order to put money in
his Docket he ought TO be willing to
pay for it.
The grain is beginning tc put on a
better appearance.
Haven't heard of any ccrn being
planted yet, but suppose there will be
by the last of this week.
The weather is just splendid, and
farm work is progressing.
| Tomorrow is Green Thursday. How
many can follow the old Dutch rule
and have something green to cook.
The fruit is all O. K. so far. Hope
that we will not only have a bountiful
crop, but earnestly trust that all other
crops will bring forth abundance. They
are so much needed.
We would have been very much
pleased to have been able to have at
tended the State Sunday-school conven-
tion which is being held in the city OF
Greenwood. We know the occasion
will be grand one to all those who
feel an interest in this noble work.
DR.. W. E. Pelham, chairman State ex-
exutive committee, has spared no time
in working up the convention to high
plane. He kindly gave me copy OF
the programme which shows that every
thing is very attractive and helptully
prepared, showing that addresses will
be delivered by several Of the most
prominent and capable divines and lay
men of our State. Very few people ap-
| preciate the fact that DR.. Pelham is
one of the most roble and enthusiastic
Sunday-school workers in our State.
He spares no little OF his time and
means in this grand and noble work.
The Holy One says, 'If you love me,
feed my lambs" This is the mission
of the Sunday-school-which Is spirit
ual home for them. 1t is truly the oo-
| iect of the Sunday-school to lead the
young children to Jesus, to labor for
their conversion, to Christianize them.
We would like to say more about the
work of the Sunday-school, but we
must pass on for this time by saying in
| conclusion. May God continue to bless,
not only DR.. Pelham, but all other CO.
workers of the Sunday-school, and may
the time speedily come when all the
| children of every nook and corner, both
in towns and counties, will be gathered
| into the different Sunday-schools and
| made to realize their sinfulness and

Sad, but not unexpected, was the
death of Mrs. Henry Conkle. From
what we learn Mrs. Conkle had been
| in quite lingering health for more than
a year, but only confined to her room
| for about three months with that dread
full disease consumption. Last Satur-
day about two O'Clock the summons
| from God came and said, its enough,
and that soul is now where yours and
mine will sson be, in the presence OF an
unknown world. We have known the
deceased all our life and it is a blessed
consolation, not only for me to say, but
for the bereaved husband and children
| to know, that she was noble hearted
Christian woman. On the morning be-
| fore she died she called her husband
and children to her bedside and told
them to meet her in heaven. Oh what
a consolation, to feel that you have a
dear wife and mother in heaven. Yes,
| Christian friends, if we want to die
right We must live right. Yes, dear
| children, we know how hard it is to
| give up mother, we passed through
this trial only about seven months ago.
A mothers love is the tenderest love
on earth, and child that would disre-
gard or forsake its mother is worse than
an infdel. But still, amid all these
sorrows, what blessed hope and con-
ISOLATION to feel that you have a wife
and mother in heaven. The deceased
was a member of Colony Evangelical
Lutheran Church, and her body was
laid to rest in the graveyard of he. dear
old church on Sunday following her
| death, Rev. Matthias of st. Luke's
conducting the burial services. She
had lived 50 years and IA days. May
God comfort and strengthen the sur
viving broken hearted husband and
children and help them TO live life
like their mothers. We should make
all the sweetness and happiness out
of life that we possibly can. But amid
all of this, one stroke after another of
sadnes continually beclouds our minds
and fills our hearts with gloom.
Quite sad, indeed, was the intelli-
gence of the sad fate of young Hoyt
