The peaceful slumberers of Col

hear the Methodist bell ring out,
uCome, come, oh come" Some
supposed the call was to fire, but
no blaze greeted the eye. Many
gathered around the church aud
still the bell rang. No sexton was
pulling the rope and still the bell
kept calling. One youth climbed
up the rope to drive the spirit
away, when ne found Il strong
string tied to the clapper, Mischiev-
ious students had run this string
from house to house, but no trace
of the ringer could be found.

Death IS great leyeler. The
road which high and mighty
monarchs pass over, which men
of letters tread, which warriors
traverse, the short and simple an
nails of the poor, all lead to the
same place, all terminate, however
varied their routes, in that one
enormous house which is appoint
ed for all living. One short sem
tence closes the biography Of ev-
cry man. The days of Methuse-
lah were nine hundred and sixty
nine years and he died. This was
the end of his earthly presence
and he died. cit is appointed I'M
to men"-unto all men-"once tC
die. No matter what station OF
honor we may occupy, however
high or low, we must all suceumt
to this great leveler.
Look at the hero, as he stands
on the high pedestal, covered with
glory. He falls suddenly, for.
ever falls. His intercourse with
the world has ceased and those
who would hereafter find him
must look for him in the grave.
True, the funeral eulogy has
been pronounced, the sad process.
sion has moved, the badge of
mourning has already been de.
creed, and presently the sculp.
tured marble will lift its front,
proud to perpetuate the name OF
the hero and to tell to passersby
his virtues, just tributes of re.
spect, and to the living useful,
but to him Wondering in his mar
row and humble habitation, what
are they! How vain! how una,
vailing!
The hero of which we write was
a hero of kindness, simplicity and
nobleness. The subject of Oul
sketch was born April %, 1854,
down in old Boone county, and
died June 10th, 1903, at 6 a. m,
making him 40 years, l month, Is
days old when he died. His life
was spent almost entirely in farm,
ing and stock raising, having
lived on farm until about tive
years ago when he went to tow
to rest and recuperate. The dreat
disease, cancer of the stomach
gradually, slowly but surely
gnawed his vitality out of him, bu
he was not serious until the las
eight months, during which tins
he sank faster.
On June 10th, 1887, he wal
married to Miss Alice Bruce t.
which union were born Dora D.
the eldest, who preceded hel
father to the grave Oct. 3, 1890
and Richard Thomas, who will
his mother survive the father.
In January of this year he ant
his family sought his health at Eu
reka Springs but of no avail; afte
which they located.at Fort Scott

George was noble man, beinI

Can Nervous Diseases

The literature OF medicine goes to
prove conclusIyeIy that duration Of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which it entails.
Amy factor, therefore, In their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-straih is frequent cause Of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct ono beyond the pOssl-

or Of ultimate recovery is practically ex-

came down from Mexico Saturday
night. They were drunk when
they went to the hotel. TheyCmade
beasts of themselves that night
and then paraded as model young
men with several of our incest
girls next day. OF course the
girls didn't know the first facts.
Boys, we let it pass this time but
if you care any thing for your
regulations, don't repeat this
trick. Next time your names as
well as the facts will be published.
It's time the young ladies of our
community knew a few things,

Testimonials in Respect to the Memory
Of Deacon Edward White, of Ebe-
neZer Baptist Church.

Whereas, it pleased God, the dispen-
ser of all good, to remove from our
midst by the hand of death in Boston,
Mass, Oct. 10, 1908. our brother and
fellow deacon Brother Edward White,
we therefore subscribe the following:
Bro. Edward White was an earnest
Christian, a kind and loving husband
and father, and a faithful member and
officer of Ebenezer Baptist Church,
Richmond.
Bro. White was always ready and
willing to perform any and all duties
the church saw fit TO place TO his care;
and IN each we are reasonably sure that
he used his best endeavors to have the
will of the chsrch executed.
When, by reason of enfeebled health,
he was forced to leave Richmond for
Boston, whence his loving daughter had
requested him to come, that she might
provide for him during his declining
days. we were filed with sorrow at his
departure, but pleased to know that he
had the good fortune TO have a de cend-
ant who felt it to be her duty to care for
him and his wife, her mother.
We commend his wife, sister, Caro-
line White; and his loving daughter TO
God, who is husband to the widow and
father TO the fatherless.
AS a testimony OF the esteem in which
he was held by the church, we or ier
that the church be properly draped for
the space of thirty (30) days.
We further order that copy of these
testimonials be sent to the widow of our
deceased member and deacon, a copy be
spread upon the record of the church
and be published in the Richmond

THE DEBT is PAID.
Great Work of the Diamond Hill Bap-
tist Church.
[Lynchburg Daily News. !

The Diamond Hill Baptist Church,
colored, has succeeded in clearing itself
of bonded debt, the last cent on the heavy
mortgage having been paid. This
achievement, so gratifying TO the con-
gregation and their friends, was duly
and appropriately celebrated on Mon.
day evening, when the congregation
met together and carried out an inter
esting program. Speeches were made
and everybody congratulated everybody
else The pastor, Rev Bernard Tyrrell,
was highly complimented on the result;
for it is recognized by all that to his un-
tiring efforts the success of the under
taking was largely due.
When Rev. Tyrrell became pastor of
the Diamond Hill Baptist Church eight
years ago, he found the burden of debt
heavy, and in addition, he found the
payment of interest was in arrears one
thousand dollars. Under his energetic
administration, the arrearage in inter-
est was speedily disposed of, aud the
principle w S tackled with a will. Each
year, the sum was reduced, and this
year the balance of 81 300 WIS paid.
The church cost totsa of $2C,000
The debt contracted was $l5, 900 and on
this $5, 200 interest was paid, making
200, which the congregation has
paid altogether for its new building.
AT the celebration of Monday even
ing speeches were made by several per-
sons, among whom boing Adolphus
Humoies, j. O. Jackson, A. @ w.
Hughes, and DR.. Graham. of Ri ,hmond,
The pastor made an appropriate and
feeling reply, in which he thanked the
speakers for their kindly expressions
and congratulated the congregation on
the great work that had been accom-
plished. The program of the evening
included banquet.
