Loving friends and neighbors
kindly assisted i'll performing the
last sad rites, and did much to rot
death and the grave of their terrors
which leave their impress on the
hearts of the afflicted ones. A pro
fusion of beautiful flowers, emblems
of purity and love, were an evidence
of esteem in which the deceased was
held.
AS constant member of the M.

Sabbath school and church was
plainly manifested in her CHEEKY
words and regular attendance,
until WEAKNESS and disease said
1T is enough" No eulogies are
necessary, for her daily life is a
testimony of her belief.
Rev. j. t. Morgans' well chosen
words were comfort to the friends,
who listened reverently to the
promises of hope for the children OF
God.
''They shall hunger no more;
neither shall the sun light on them,

midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living
fountains of waters, and God shall
wipe away all tears from their
eyes, Rev. VII. Is, II.

And look upon the wonder-world of

How beautiful, how beautiful its
hills!
And all it's valleys, how surprising
fair!
The winding paths that lead up to

Are polished by the footsteps of the
great;
The mountain peaks stand very
near to God:
The chosen few whose feet have
trod thereon
Have talked with Him, and with
the angels walked"

Look to Your Farms.

Many farms are estimated below
their true value because of slovenly
appearance. Weeds higher than
the fences, trees blown down and
left to rot in the same place, fences
out Of repair, gates and barn doors
off the hinges or swinging on one
hinge, unsightly litter in the door
yard and at the barn-these and
many such evidences of carelessness
depreciate the value of any farm.
The soil may be excellent, the
water facilities all that could be
asked for and all the natural adj
vantages requisite to make good,
high priced farm to exist, and yet
that farm scarcely makes it's owner
a living.

Anton Schmitt has bought of Jos.
T. Bennett the old drugstore build

of the postoffice, and when Mr..
Bennett vacates the same to move
into his fine new brick structure,
Mr.. Schmitt will have it moved to
his corner lot near the railroad
roundhouse for renting purposes.
Thus the historical building will
still be familiar landmark in the
