OBITUARY.
FLORENCE NJ. STEVENS.

Florence M, aged twenty-five years,
oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. e. s.
Stevens, passed from the earthly to the
heavenly life Wednesday, Nov. %, at s p.
m, surrounded by loved ones, "without
any moaning st the bar"
As the tired child falls sweetly to sleep,
so Florence fell ''ssleep in Jesus, W hose
waking is supremely blest". From child
she was religiously inclined. Very early
in life she made Christ her choice, and
took the VOWS of the church upon her.
She was member of the high school,
class of 1902.
Because of failing health, she was
obliged to leave school in the fall of 1901,
much disappointed in her hopes. From
that time she gradually sucsumbed to
wasting consumption, till "desth lies
upon her like an untimeiy frost, the
fairest fowSr OF all the held".
A young and beautiful character has
passed from US to life of higbe develop
ments than are possible of attainment
here. She was member of the Methodist
church and Epworth league, faithful In
her. She was baptized and received to
the church by the writer about six years
SGD. She was also a member beloved OF
the Daug hters OF Liberty, from whom she
received much attention and many kind
pesses during her Illness.
She was loving daughter, devoted
| sister and true Christian. Much SYM
psthy is felt for the stricken parents and
| oereaved sisters. The abundant floral
offerings bore eloquent testimony to the
love Of her many friends and respect for
the family. The services were by her
pastor, Rev. J. P. Simonton, at the home
Saturday at 10 a. M, followed by a burial
service at the grave by the Daughters of
Liberty. j. p. 8.

Trade at Home.

We make strong and earnest ap-
peal to the citizens of this city to do
their Christmas buying at home.
Every year many of our local mer-
chants complain bitterly that no
small share of the trade goes out of
town, most, if not all, of which could
be supplied right here.
This complaint on the part of the
local tradesmen is wholly just. They
are citizens and tax payers; they are
here the year round, forced to take
the average trade of the year, and
it certainly is not fair to them for
their customers to quit them at what
is ordinarily one of the few busy sea-
sons of the year.
1t is somewhat the fashion to trade
out of town simply for the sake of
doing so; not because they get better
goods or get them any cheaper. 1t
goes without saying that no small city
offers to buyers the chances for selec-
ton that are offered in large city,
but on the other hand there is not a
merchant in business here who will
not gladly assist prospective pur-
chasers in procuring from the larger
markets what cannot be carried in
stool he-e.
III community like this the citi-
xens are to very large extent inter-
dependent, and loyalty to our home
market ought to cause everyone to
trade at home.
This is the close of a not over pros
porous year hereabouts; whatever
can be done by purchasers to stimu-
late home trade ought to be done,
and we sincerely hope it will be.

The department of commerce and
labor has published very interesting
report of the exports of the United
States for twelve months ending Oct.
81. 1t shows that in spite of the un-
usually small exports of food pro-
ducts during the period indicated, the
total value of all kinds exceeds by
$50, 200, 900 the exports of any proceed
ing year. While breadstuffs fell off
$4,000, 900 below the corresponding
period of 1908, and $15s, 900, 600 below
1901, the exports of manufactures and
of raw cotton make up the difference,
and account for the great increase.
The export of cotton alone exceeds
by s22, 100000 the corresponding
period of last year.

Secretary Moody will remain in the
cabinet. The President is fond of
him, and finds that they hold many
views in common on the great socio-

Improvement of moral and material
conditions; the tariff, finances, trusts,
etc. Mr.. Moody is known to have
the beef trust in hand, and the Presi-
dent has the highest confidence in his
legal ability.

Work Before Congress.

= The fact that the President finished
his message before starting for st.
Louis, and that it is now in proof, is
thought in Washington to indicate
that it is brief document, recon-
mending little legislation outside of
the regular appropriation bills.
These of themselves promise to call
for money enough, and it would be
unwise to disturb present business
interests by introducing revolu-
tionary legislation. On all sides
bureau chiefs are asking for more
funds and more men.
Government work increases so fast,
as a result of the great undertakings
in which it is engaged, that it is diff
cult to keep up with it. Tue Panama
canal viii soon need many more men
and much money.
The chief of the bureau of navi-
CATION asked for a general staff not
unlike that provided for the army to
administer naval affairs, and says that
the number of officers should be in
creased at least fifty per cent. He
wants 600 lieutenants in the navy
and 800 lieutenant commanders.
He urges that the United States
must be prepared to meet any
crisis at any time. He would have
Congress authorize naval reserve of
$4,000 men with 600 commissioned
officers.
