ton. the bright and popular editor
of the Lafayette Gazette.
The news was shocking to hie
numerous relatives and friends
here, who were not informed OF
him being sick except the day
before his death.
Homer WIS a native of st. Mar
stinviile and he spent his boyhood
days here, leaving US abont ten
years ago to go to Lafayette with
the late Chss. A. Thomas, to es-
etsblish the Lafayette Gazette
which was completes success from
sthe very start.
Homer was q bright man, and q
thoroughly we'll posted newspaper
man. He was popular with every
,one, and he made the Gazette one
sof-ths best and most copied paper
in the state, and he was also pop
'ulsr and highly esteemed by the
newspaper Fraternity.
He was of a'kind nature and ex-
-eeedingly courteous to all, he was
= man Of character. and would not
hesitate to express his opinion,
but he would always respect the
opinion Of others, and when dis
'eussing matters that concerned
the public good, would always do
90 in language that was genteel
and respectful, and he would al.
ways treat his opponents kindly
and courteously, which won fol
him the love, esteem and respect
of Ill.
IN the untimely death of oul
good friend, Homer MOuton, st
Worthwhile has lost a good, sin
cere friend, because Homer was {
true friend of his native town snt
would never miss an occasion t.
express his love For our people snt
his deep interest in his old town
and our people always counted
him - one of theirs even after b.
had cast his lot with the goo(
Ysople of Lafayette, who knew
how to appreciate q man Of hi
sterling qualities.
And in his death Lafayette los
good citizen and the newspape
fraternity one of it's noblest ant
brightest members.

The drainage system has proven
itself to be satisfactory in every way.
During the hard rain of last Thus
day it carried off nearly all the water.
and but few puddles were left in the
streets after the rain.
The creamery now has As patrons on
it's list, and new ones are added
almost daily. THIS is great number
over those of last year. and it's beneff-
clal effects are noticeable on both the
business of the town and the pros
perity of the farmers. The creamery
is now packing IS tubs of butter per
week besides that used by its patrons
and the surrounding towns.
The crop in this section promises to
be a record breaker this season.. All
the small grain has headed out in fine
shape, and the barley will soon be
ready tOcut. The rains of last week
furnished enough moisture for the
grain to mature. and with the eXcep-
ton of hard storms, there is nothing
that will keep the farmers from har-
vesting the largest crop V known

THINGS THAT WERE.

Out in space, past the farthest stars
They say there are planets cold
Where the songs of life have all been sung
And the stories have all been told.
And they roll in their old accustomed way
Cherries and dark and bare;
And there's never a laugh and there's never sigh
To shatter the stiffness there.
They travel the hours and the days by years
AS they did in the long ago,
Like one who is searching his cherished haunts
For the friends that he used to know.
And it's hard hard luck for planet dark
Or the heart that was warm of old
To find that the songs have all been sung
And the stories have all been told.
