DEATH OF o. H. VENEER.

After years OF suffering, during which
time he had the knowledge that an incur
able disease cancer OF The topgue) had
fastened itself upon him, o. II. Venner
has entered into rest.
With patient fortitude he faced life and
with Christian hope and resignation he
met death. None but those who knew
him best realized what he was undergoing
OF suffering and anxiety, for there was
always the same cheerful greeting, the
same accommodating spirit, the same
courtesy Of manner which had character
lied his life among US In all the years we
had known him.
He will be missed in the home, In the
town, fl the church, and the memories Of
him will be pleasant memories.
He fell peacefully asleep Monday,
October IL, at the age OF sixty Eve years,
six months and sixteen days.

"Wednesday afternoon. The pall-bearers
were r. g. Lord, W. w. Peters, w. E..
Grindie and II. NJ. Stevens.
The horaI gifts represented many
friends. The following was a favorite
poem with Mr.. Venner, which was read
at the funeral service, and is printed here
by request.
GOD KNOWS THE BEsr.
Sometime, when all nle's lessons have been
learned.
And sun and stars forevermore hays set.
The things which our weak judgments here
have spurned.
The things DER which we grieved with lAshes
wet,
win fash before US out of llfe's dark night
AS stars shine most In deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans we're
right.
And how what seemed reproof was love mo. /
true.
And we shall see how. while we frown and sigh
Gods plaus 20 on as best for you and me;
How. when we called. He he-d.d hot our cry,
Because His wisdom to III eend could sec.
And even as prudent pareuis disall1w
Too much OF sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, Is keeping from US now
Life's sweetest things, because 1t seemeth
good.
And If sometimes, comminsled with iife's wine,
We find the wormw God, ami rebel and shrini
BE sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink
And II some friend we loved is hing low,
Where human Kisses cannot reach his face
on, do not blame the loving Father SO,
But wear your sorrows with obedieut grace.
And you shall shortly know that engthent d
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friends
And that sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest boom His love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within, and all Goa's Workings see,
We could interpret all thi, doubt AMI strife,
Aud for each mystery could find a key.
But not to day, then he content, poor heart.
Gods plans. like lilies pure aId white, un-
fold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal the ehalees of COLT.
And If through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that We Will say, "God knew the best

PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE.

The Democratic officials ct Frank
fort, by expelling correspondents OF
newspapers opposed TO them in poll
tics, denying them access to some OF
the records, and even assaulting one
of them, made a great demonstration
for truth and accuracy. Their excuse
for tho indignities heaped upon thecor-
respondents was that the newspaper
on which the men were employed mis-
represented facts and records and the
officials thus went on record, as op-
posed to any kind Of misrepresenta-
ton.
Yet Governor Beckham in his open.
ing speech several days ago, referred
to Colonel Morris K. Belknap, the Re-
publican nominee for governor, in .
way to reflect on his honesty. By in
nuendo he intimated that misrepre.
sentation was made by Colonel Bel
KNAPP 10 shipping . car load of goods
to Texas in order to save freight rates
and It was plain he intended to convey
the impression that Colonel BeiknaI
legally and morally was responsible
4 for 1t, thus to insinuate that he Wal
unworthy of public confidence.
Colonel Belknap in his speech Sat
urdsy makes brief but dignifed reply
to the insinustion. 1t appears there
was car load of goods shipped irregu
larly. but the company that shipped il
was one In which Colonel BelknaI
was only stakeholder and not q sal
aried officer, and the management Of
which he in no way controlled OF
was responsible for. In fact, Colone
Belknap was at the time serving hi
country in the Spanish. American wat
In Porto Rico. md knew nothlng abea'
it. Even II hswere legally iespof1a
bic for the acts Of employees Of sn,
company, no sensible man believes
he was morally 80. although thu
Democrats have made an effort Il
make him appear so. Immediatel,
after tho governors allusion to the in
cident some of the Democratic papers
took up the cue and published column
o; alleged facts in connection with it,
showing clearly the governors objec
OF bringing it into the campaign.
