Giving.

There Is - life, however low
OF humble In It's birth,
That may not, from its store, bestow
Some brightness DER the earth.
Each little blooming wayside Hover
Tho lacking beauty rare,
Freely offers all its dover
TO make the summer fair.
The tiniest star, tho far away,
Doth send an Offering down.
And helps by tremulous, golden ray,
The brow of night to crown.
The river fastening to the sea,
with all it's gathered treasures,
Yields up its offerings. full and free,
Their worth it never measures.
Thus nature proves in many way
The noblest way of living.
Would We receive? Then day by day
Increase thy store Sy giving.

Morning.

We say her baby eyes grow dim,
As fell the summer niGh;,
And knew that an the things of earth
Were fading from her sight.
Her baby hands put out to touch
The faces that she knew
So day went out, and all about
The shadows deeper grew
We held these feeble hands to guide
Her up the narrow steep,
And felt the thrObbing fever tide.

But with the faint first glcam Of DAY
We knew that she had gone
Adown the happy sunrise way,
Across the peaks OF dawn.

Beyond those dreary mountain walls
There lives mother who can trace
Each outline of the rugged rocks
That rise above that resting place.
And often In the solemn night,
When silent hours like phantoms pass,
She sees the seasons round IL change
From mantling snow,to springing grass.
And each new vision brings a pang
As keen as when "A Higher Trust
Removed her darling from her care
And laid the little form in dust.
And still within her memory clear
She hears that tender. childish tone,
The voice of one who all these years
Has lain within the grave alone

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES!

He looks upon the mountain walls,
At rugged Crag and cleft and cave,
And distant fields, ana at his feet
y little, unmarked, lonely grave.
A sudden mist o'orbrims his eyes.
No thought. IL seems no mothers care
Is given to that heap of dust
That's lain so long neglected there
Far from the trodden paths of men,
How lonely is the suukcn spot
So hidden there that God and man
And cen the mother have forgot.

KNIGHTS AND rIREHEN D1sED

Register in Chancery Joseph G. Joils

Damon Lodge, No. II, K. of p, about
three months ago, that evidently met
with their approval. Mr.. Jolls told his
brother members if they succeeded in

than the necessary number, and on We'd
nesday evening 60 plates were laid at the
Volunteer Hose House and the many
good things prepared by caterer Hates
were greatly enjoyed by both the knights
and Fire laddies.
In speaking of the affair, Mr.. Walter 5.

the Daily Republican from this town says;
"John S. Crouch was toast-mastef, and
toasts were responded to by, Mfr. Jolls, DR..
John Sites, DR.. Charles Ritchie and
Walter Letherbury. A feature OF the
evening was the pinocle tournament
which was held after the banquet. James
Warren won the first prize, Sewell Hoi-
ton, who has spent several years in pre-
paration for this event, and Awho has
spent great deal OF time in the stndy OF
the game, was rewarded with the BOBBY
prize, which was book of instructions
on the method of pinochle procedure.
He was also given primer, which was
intended for the use of beginners, in the
study Of the rudinents Of the game.

But, Notwithstanding this affective prov

improve it; see the love there is in it and
be thankful"
We may not know Gods purpose in
SEEDING these trials, but He who is deal
ing with us is full of tenderness and love.
Not now, but in the coming years,
1t may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning of our tears,
And then, sometime, we'll understand. !"

we offer the tribute of our prayers, our
sympathy and tears, commencing them

COLLINS MURDER TRIAL

Elmer Collins will be placed on trial at
Georgetown next Monday for the mur-
der of Aida Collins, his wife, on the
morning of last April 18th. Collins says
he went to field ON his farm to work,
expecting his wife to follow after she had
finished her housework, and that, an
hour later, he went to look for her, find
ing her bruised and battered body lying
in the barn. This will be Collins main
defence. Several witnesses will testify
lie was in the field at the time he says.
Collins has some serious evidence con-
fronting him, which. summed up briefly
is: Contrary to custom he dressed the
children on the morning of the murder;
medical experts say that the woman had
been dead several hours when found; a
chicken coop, spattered with blood,
showed evidences of having been cleaned
that morning; the clear view of neigh
bors would have made crime of this
sort impossible in daylight.

while descending from the carriage
Z McWhorfar q Con,

while descending from the carriage
room Of Messrs. ]. F. McW horter & Son
IN Saturday afternoon on the elevator,
seven men narrowly escaped serious in-
iurv Mr.. P. L. McWhorter together
with six Others had loaded carriage on
tba elevator which he had sold to one
~ the marty. and started the elevator on
its fownward course. Seeing something
was wrong, Mr.. McWhorter quickly grab
he'd for the rope, but in his haste got
hold Of the wrong one and as result
had his right hand badly lacerated, The
elevator fell heavily to the ground, but
an of the occupants jumped Just before
the crash, and escaped serious injury.
One of the heavy beams weighing about
500 pounds fell on the floor of the eleya-
tor lust after the men had jumped. The
elevator was total wreck.
A well-known farmer says, Don't
plow the roads up either in the spring
time or any other time; keep the roads
level, fill up the holes with any suitable
material and then instead of using a
road scraper, use heavy roller and pack
the roads and keep them packed when
evar occasion demands it. The harder q
road is packed the less liability there is
to form holes and ruts. In this connection
the suggestion might be offered that
when the holes are being filed let them
be packed solid and level 50 that they
can be driven over without cutting
through, and not left as in the present
custom, full OF uneven clods of earth
which are stunned as much as possible,
or if driven through after rain are
dragged out by the wheels Of the vehicle.
1t may take more time. it may cost more
money to do the work well. but the in
terests Of every community demands
good roads.

1908, the following resolutions were un-
animously adopted:
WHEREAS, Rev. w. F. Corkran, d. D.,
is now closing his official term as Presid-
ing Elder Of Easton District; therefore
be it
Resolred, That in DR.. Corkran we have
found an able executive officer; one wise

to the Churches interests he has en-
deared himself to this Official Board.
While we regret that his term of Office,
which has been marked by an era of pro-

will be spared by the great Head of the
Church for many years to come, and that
his ministry, wherever it may be spent,
viii be crowned with great success.
Resolved, That copy Of these resolu-
tions be given to the press for publication.
