on December IS, 1899.
She was SO long by pain(oppsessed,.
That wore her strength away
IL made her think of endless rest.
Which never can decay.
Atiliction's sore long time she bore
Physicians were ia vain.
God thought ii best that she should res,
And eascd her of her pain
Il is The hope the blessed hope
Which Jesus grace has given,
Ibe hope when days and years are passt d
We all shall meet in heaven.
Yet when we know Shy life,

We cannot wish our mother back
In this sad world again
No mother dearour fearful eyes
We raise 60 God Ia prayer.
For vol we know our mother is
Now safe beneath his care.

ct LAST jury has been found
that knocked all the starch out of
the "speak-easy" fellows. They
feared to trust their cases in the
hands of the reputable men which
composed the misdemeanor jury at
the recent term Of Lancaster court,
and threw themselves upon the pre-
sumed friendliness of the cont, but
their reckoning was at fault. Judge
Ewell put fines upon the chief trans
gressors at figures which all sup
posed would cause them to, desist.
For this the judge is to be greatly
commended, and we congratulate him
that he retains the confidence of
the best citizens of the county
If events shall prove that his judy
ment was faulty in not putting the
INES heavy enough there are others
who thought like him. 1t would
seem, however, that the fine does
not deter them, as they have been
operating as before, and it is said
they even boast that they will
continue to do business at the
same old stands. This means that
the work of prosecuting them should
not flag, and we have every reason to
believe that another time before our
court will teach them that they can
not continue the infractions with
IMMUNITY.
