One Of the large plate glass front

U-Know, your little breeze won't
amount to much coming in contact
with Cyclone. Why did you not
be loyal like Gypsy and make &C.
acknowledgements instead of trying
10 play the bluff on me. Now it
you don't mind you Will have some
thing equally as bad as a cyclone
to contend with, and that will be
one of Obion county's most accom-
plished daughters-my right bower
,-Topsy.
Topsy, l am quite sure that
white black hog would be the very
thing to take you through the
Worlds Fair, and why you have not
thought of this before is curious to
to me. Suppose you come by and
take me gratis, and while we are
the sights John Barley
corn, Gypsy, U-Know p. H. O. and
other Cousins will be at home dig
ging potatoes, drying fruits, eat
ing apple jack and telling fortunes.
Who is being favored more than
the farmers OF Fulton, Obion and
counties? Bount full
crops and good prices. The price
If almost everything has been adj
for four or FIVE years and
everything seems to be lively and
he goose hangs high with the ex-
.eption of the laboring class, who
ire working at the same old price,
md the advance of price in most
verything is an unjust discrimina-
ION. The man that labors by the
lay, week or month to support his I
amily has to work out 81. IS to get .
dollars worth of anything.
In attending most impressive
uneral service recently, where we
we're deeply impressed with the
that accompanies occasions
f this kind, our mind went out
fter the nature of things and hui
nanity. On all occasions of this
ind there is a solemn touching
orrow expressed, accompanied by
oral offerings fro m friends,
nd while my mind was fully alb !
orbed with the sadness of the oc, !
aston we asked why it was we
,ould sorrow so for the dead, when
he living needed sympathy, en-
and love so much =
lore? If our daily lives mingling
mong our kindred friends and
were in harmony with
lneral ceremonies of deceased ones
ne living would be much happier
nd be better prepared to go when
ne death angel raps at our door.
Words, thoughts and offerings at
ne grave have no effect upon the
cad, and while we may grieve be-
ause we have left undone many
rings in our duty to departed ones
ct the nobler, loftier, and purer
npulses should be rendered the -
wing because the dead cannot
el, see or hear, and and we allow
If sympathies to so cooperate one
it'll another, and when death does
me to each one and when bowed
grief at the grave our minds
ould be free to take their flight
here the sunshine kisses the pure
Id nobler elements and leads us
ward and upward to blissful
i'd immortal home. The death of
Their, mother, brother or sister \
uses desolatlon to enter homes =
1t the heart broken can protect
it'll loving care the living yet left
hind and hanniness will once Y
