ing been summoned special
Juror in the Rice case. As the case

tensive enough to cover the territory
adjoining the Gap, the people are call
worked up" We learn that petit
tion has been forwarded to the Post
Office Department that thepostotfice
at Pleasant Gap be re-established.
Either this should be done or add

the whole ennobled and beautifedi BY 9
conscious fellowship with God. To such g
high type OF Christian manhood we dc
\ well TO pay our tribute of respect today
Chief Judge John W. Rowell, a long
time friend OF Col. Kim ball, gave from in
innate knowledge this view Of his charac-
ter:-"He was the embodiment OF honesty
and integrity, dealing justly with all men.
Resolute II purpose, strenuous in execu-
ton, he accomplished much in business
affairs and was greatly enjoying the fruits
OF his labors, from which he dispensed
benehcence with a liberal hand. As a
citizen he was scrupulous 10 perform every
duty, complying With the demands OF the
state as cheerfully as he accepted her
iavors. He rendered to her his best ser
vice and was loyal to her in high degree.
As friend he was true and constant, al
ways not only ready, but seeking to do a
kindly act. HIS heart was as tender and
sympathetic as a woman's, and his warm
greetings and cordial handshakes were a
benediction. II was right good fortune
to be able to count him as friend, but a
great sad sorrow to be compelled TO say
He is dead y As husband and father
he was ideal. He had the most thought
full and loving care for all the members of
his family. He took them into his conf
dence in the distribution of his gifts, il
not in his important matters of business,
and they were at one IN everything. In
deed he had all the characteristics of
Christian gentleman"
Rev. F. q. Rainey, pastor OF the Nj. E.
church, recognizing the innate modesty
that characterized the departed and made
him shrink from the words OF praise,
would speak no fulsome eulogy but confine
himself to the posthumous influence Of a
noble life. The human soul has an IN
stinctive desire to perpetuate itself after
death. All know that they must die, but
none wish to be forgotten. Some long to
retain their place in the family circle, and
some through the medium OF public gifts
to still impress the life of the world
though they themselves are gone. The
bird in its flight may cut the air and the
fish may part the waters OF the sea, and
leave no trace behind, but the passage of
the soul is marked by the force OF its
noblest attributes. In life are sowed the
seeds that springing up will bear fruit
when we are gone. Along the path which
Col. Kimball trod he planted many trees
which grow while he is sleeping. The Ii
brary may be called his tree OF knowledge
and in after years its roots will strike
deeper and deeper into the life of the
town and the influence of its donor will
extend with the widening circle touched
by its living growth.
The closing prayer and benediction were
by Rev. G. W. Patterson, pastor of the
Cong'l church at Randolph Center.
