sweetly Passed Away.

The infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus Lorick, died Monday evening,
after an illness of several weeks.
The interment was in St. Stephens
cemetery yesterday afternoon, the
Rev. J. G.. Graichen, pastor of St.
Stephens church, officiating. All is
well with the glorified spirit of the
sweet little child, which is now safe
in the arms of Jesus, safe from the
storms and temptations and trials Of
this life and it's happy voice is now
helping to swell the grand chorus in
ascribing honor and glory unto Him
who said, ssuffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not
for of such is the Kingdom of
heaven"

a Pleasant Affair.

The cue given by Mr.. Ioor Hayes
last Saturday was pleasant affair,
Notwithstanding the small crowd
present. Messrs. E. U. Shealy and
John Bell Towill for the House and
and Mr.. Isaiah Hallman, for County
Commissioner, were the only candi-
dates present. They each made in
teresting addresses. It is rather
early in the season for the farmers to
leave their farm work to attend bar
becues and political meetings. When
the crops are laid by the farmers
will then have ample time to devote
to politics.

Should Assist Him.

We would urge our readers to
assist DIR. W. T. Brooker in his work
of compiling his Scraps of History
by sending any data that might be
in their possession concerning the
subjects upon which he is writing.
These sketches are very interesting
and they certainly should be as full
as they can possibly be made. The
reason why they are not so is the
carelessness of those who should
take an interest in the work, the
fault therefore, lies not with DR..
Brooker but with the people.

The FRS: Waternelons.

Mr.. Martin Sox, who resides about
three miles south of this place, was
in town yesterday with the first load
of watermelons. The prices ranged
from Is to 80 cents apiece. This is
considered extra early for melons and
shows that there is a great change
going on in climatic influences in its
action upon plant life AMI in the
mode of planting and cultivation. 1t
has not been so long in the past
when most of US can remember that
it was considered remarkably early
to have ripe watermelons on the
Fourth of July.

BRET HARTE IS. DEAD THE FAMOUS AUTHOR EXPIRES IN LONDON.
  His Quaint Humor and Graphic De- scription Interested Thousands Story of His Rise from Printers Case to Fame.

London, May 6-F. Bret IIarte, the American author. died here last night. He was born at Albany. \. Y., August 25, 1889.
 Mir. Hartc has been living quitely in England for years. Most or his tune was spent in the country and when Tn London he was equally secluded, having few visitors to his room at Lancaster Gate and only going to the houses of limited number of very intimate friends.
 Several months ago, whch the report of his death was circulated in America, representatiye of the Associated Press called at his room. MT. Hart then ap- peared to be perfectly well. He laughed heartily and quoted Mark Twalns ola saving about the report being greatly eN- aggerated. Except for "a httie coid' said MT. Harte "Is have no ailments or complaints. While l am getting to De pretty old man. pointing to ms snow white hair there is life in the old dog vet" and thereupon he lit cigar so large that it would have done credit to any of his Poker Flat friends. He was hopinR. he also said, to do more work. but he confessed he was growing lazy.
 Bret Harte's father, scholar Of ripe atainments, died without means and at the age of l5 years young Harte emigrated to California. |, He taught school for while but finding it unprohtdbie' ne De- came a compositor in printing ofilce.
 His first literay composition was done at the case His fortunes for whue were of varying character. He obtained his first substantial position in 1sSi as secretary of the United States branch mint During the six years he held thls position he wrote for San Francisco newspapers. Among the most noted of his contributions at this time were John Burns of Gettysburg, The Phocene skull" and "The Society Upon the .Stanislaus.
 He began in 1888 the publication of. the Overland Monthly and in its second issue appeared The Luck of Roaring Camp. In rapid succession "The Outcasts of Poker Flats" "Niggles" Tennessee Partner" and "The Idyl of Red Gulch' anpeared and the literary world knew that there was d formidable candidate in the field for honors of authorship. Many, indeed .are the stories ana poems from his prolific pen.
 For the past twenty -four years he has lived abroad but his fame was won in America by his stories of American life. Harte WAS elemental. He had no proto- tyne He occupies an unique niche in Iiterature carved out by his own hands. tIis death will be regretted by the mll- Hons who have laughed and wept, now at the ripping wit and agaih al the deep and pathetic tenderness of sentiment that in every age and cline touches the sym pa thetic heart to tears
