Obituary.

On last Friday night MT. John Elam finished life's drama, He had been in bad health for some time and had just returned home from a trip to Hot s brings. MT. Elam leaves to mourn his death a wife and eight children and a great many other relatives. Death is the end of all things earthly. No matter what our sta tion, no matter how wealthy nor how poor. how honest nor how deceitful, death is the con- mon lot of all. This thoughts beautifully expressed in Grays Elegy. "The boast of heraldy, the pomp of power,
 And all thati beauty, all that wealth ere gave,
 Awaits alike the inevitable hour;
 The path of glory leads but to the grave.
 Every funeral and every deathis a silent monitor to the living pointing to the suncapped noun tains of eternity. No sermon touches and causes thought as the silent example of our utter helplessness; lips, once fraught with words of kindness, now cold and mute; eyes once telling unmeasurable love, now closed in death; hands willing to do the acts of mercy, now still and helpless: Where is there such another moniter alOug life pathway, although sad and heart breaking as aas it is, that points to the court where God will be the Judge and Jury and Christ the advocate of all.
 These sad events should cause us halt in our course and begin our pilgrimage toward Zion and our future home.
 Our heart bleeds in sympathy with the bereaved family.
 Grandma Finny, of Tip, visited the family of Col. A. J. Marsh last week.
