This reg iment is about to take part in extensive army maneuvers in that section of Ken lucky.

(Advertisement) SCHOOL BOOK MONOPOLY. The Public Burdened In the Monopoly and High Prices.

The numerous changes, the limited ex- change privileges and high prices of school books are a great burden. Dewberry & Sons. who are deprived of the privileges of selling the state books with the state stamp thereon, have employed eminent legal talent and are advised that the regu- lar editions of correct text books without the state stamp are as truly the adopted books as If they had the state stamp. This firm has some of the regular editions af- ready in stock and could easily obtain them all. so as to sell them for less than the depository prices. Dewberry & Sons would offer the regular editions to the public but for the fact that the city su- perintendent of schools says that no new book without the state stamp shall be used. This monopoly in high prices will no doubt continue until free American citizens assert and maintain their legal md natural rights.

Sacred to the Memory OF Daisy
SewalI.

just one year ago to-day January
1Oth) God sent His messenger for our
dear one, and babe her "comeup higher
| Heaven Is your home, not this poor
sinful world, and while our home il made
| dark and sad without her Heaven is
made brighter.
She was too good, too pure to stay here
any longer; God lent her to us for few
short years Qong enough for our hearts to
become entwined around this tender
plant), then took her home with Him to
live I'm that land that Is fsirer than day"
She had just blossomed into young wo-
manhood when onsumption-that dread
disease-marked her for its own, and
prayers, tears nor medical aid could not
stay the march or the fatal destroyer. He
conquered the life we all looked TO with
so much pride and pleasure.
Oh, how our hearts did bleed as we
saw this loved one thus early smitten
down, and knew there was nothing to do
but summit to the Divine decree OF Him
l''who doeth all things well, and Is too
wise to err" but we have the blessed as
| surance that all was well With her and
| that we shall meet her again tn that land
beyond the grave
"where sickn ness sorrow. pain and death.
Are felt and feared no more.
When asked the day before her death,
while consciousness yet re-. ned, by her
beloved pastor, Rev. T. j. Nray, il she
was still trusting In her Saviour as her
all in all, she answered in tones clear
and distinct Uhough her strength was
almost gomez "Yes, sir; am"
In the bloom of youth, while the rose
was yet on her cheek, she gave her heat
To God and remained consistent Oh; Is,
tian to the end OF her career, which was
short but marked with devotion to God
and loved ones in health, resignation In
sickness and triumph In death.
Her funeral was preached from old
Calvary NJ. Z. church (the church of her
parents) by her pastor and her remains
gently laid to rest in the church yard
there, by the side OF two sisters gone
before. Peace to thine ashes dear sister.
And art thou gone from earth away,
Beyond the reach OF mortal sight,
And dost thou plume thy dove-like wing:
To hask In Heavens resplendent lighi?
Oh, yes: the painful strife is DER,
The battle wou-the victory given:
We saw thee pass the portaled skies
And grasp the crown laid up in Heaven.
