"LYNCHINC,"
The Theme of an Excellent
Sermon by Rev. T. H.
Campbell.

Rev. T. II. Campbell of the NJ. E.
church, preached an able sermon
on ''Lynching," Sabbath evening.
Among the points he brought
out were: That Government
was ordained of God, and that
4, alone had right to punish crime
and take human life; that mob law
was usurpation of the lawful powers
of Government; that II was anarchy;
that II was the seizure of power by
the worst elements of society: that
II was failure as preventative of
crime: that II embruited men; that 1t
led to crime; that II led to the pun
ishment by death of men guilty of
smaller crimes: that IL demoralized
society: and that officers who sur
rendered prisoners to mobs, were
unworthy of their Office. Re-
plying to the charge of some Southern
writer's, that the crime of outrage
was unknown to the blacks in slavery,
and was a result of their freedom
and enfranchisement, he said that
for two hundred years the blacks had
been taught the crime by the out
rage of their mothers and daughters
by whice men, when not protest
was heard against it from those who
now hold up the black man as the
perpetrators of the crime. In the
way of dsterring and preventing the
hideous crime of assault. the Doctor
among other things, i'm
mediate trial by the courts, and the
infiction of the death penalty. There
was much in the sermon, that was
food for thought.

Tribute of Respect,

The funeral of Esther Conover,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Conover, was held in the M. p. church
of West Middleburg, September z,
In the afternoon. Rev. ID. d Burt,
of Marion. conducted the services,
making some very touching remarks
and eulogizing the life of the de-
ceased. The choir sung the sweet
sad songs that were chosen. The
pail bearers we're selected from her
host of little friends.
Little Esther died at the home of
her parents, in Springfield, Ohio.
The interment and funeral services
occurred at Middleburg. The floral
offerings were many and beautiful.
They included a large spray of roses
and Carnations, token of love from
the children of the neighborhood;
another from the order of Redmen,
of which Mr.. Conover was a me mber,
at Springfield; a large floral pillow
bearing the name Esther" a tribute
of love from her sister, Ira; other
tributes from friends, far and near
that bore silent but touching witness
of the giver.
Esther Conover was born Novem.
Der 12, 1894, at Middleburg, died Au-
gust 20, 1908, at Springfield. She
was a sweet lovely child, beloved by
all who knew her.
We shall miss her sunshine, we
shall miss her inspiration. but let Us
bow in humble submission to Him,
who doeth all things well.
There is n reaper whose name Is Death,
And with his sickle keen.
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between"
Why the Grim Reaper should have
to gather Esther In the flower of her
young life, Is beyond our ken. But
since her spirit took its fight, we
can think of her as "only a rosebud
that has climbed the wall, to bloom
upon the other side" and "where
our treasure Is, there may our heart
be Also" A FRIEND.

ter, opened proceedings by stating
the object of the meeting, to-wit:
the expression of feeling by the

Mr.. G. w. Barthomew. for Denver,

recognition of the energy, activity.
zeal and enterprise he has shown for
the interest of our city, and its pros
perity.

teripg position offered him in Denver,
and ::the Club knowing it to be to
his interest to accept, met to give
him formal but regretful goodbye.
Mr.. s. H. West was called upon to
speak to the toast, ''The West" and
made a happy response. His speech
was thoughtful. witty, appropriate
and pointed. 1t Is impossible for Us
to reproduce it 1t was highly en-
ljoyed by all. A splendid tribute was
paid Mr.. Bartholomew.

to the toast, THE relation of the

Drawn and labor are stored great
fortunes, and wonderful prosperity
for the communities that utilize 1t.
Rev. G. E. Davies spoke to the
theme, THE debt of the West to the
East" and held the Club in interested
attention by the thought and expires.
sion he developed in treating of hi,
theme. His excellent speech was re
ceived with vigorous applause.
Mr.. Bartholomew, rising to express
his appreciation of the kind thing:
that had been said to and of him
could scarce control his feelings but
there are times when stumbling and
Hesitation are more eloquent thar
glibness of speech. He did however
speak with much earnestness and
nuency in speaking of Bellefontains
and Ohio, in both which he said
he had found more whole souled
generosity, openness of heart,
and real patriotism. than anywhere
else he had lived in the East, West
North and South. He thanked the
Club earnestly for the honor it had
done him.
Mr.. George Starkey furnished the
lexcellent banquet, and The Imperia
lOrchestra furnished delightful music
for the occasion. -. 5.

give a hearty good bye to an honored
member, and all who we're there
felt that the Club had honored itseli
