Local Union, No. 1861, U. B. &. and
j., sends the following poem as an adj
ditional tribute to the memory of Howard
G. Saurbaugh, the first member of their
Union lost by death:
Howard, you have gone and left us
To a world that has no care.
Oh the ills that yet beset us
You have gone so young and fair.
Brother Howard, how we miss you
That your face we cannot see;
But our prayers are to meet you
In that home from sorrow free.
lie is sleeping swectly sleeping;
Could you wish to wake him now?
Oh | think not, though tbs lonely,
For he is with Jesus now.
We a thorny path must travel
For the living not the dead
So let us pray, one for one another,
That we may be safely led
But the great consolation
In his parting moments here
Was his wish to be with Jesus
In that Home so bright and fair.
Howard will not be forgotten,
Though we know he has gone to stay;
But we must all, soon or later,
Travel in the self same way.
Can it be this is a warming
To us all that we may know
That our life at best is tleeting
In this vale of tears below?
Let us then live true and faithful
TO our Masters bidding here
That we, like Howard, may be ready
When our Saviour calls us there.
WILLIAM c. PRESTON Secretary.
The poem below is contributed by Il
niece of the late Howard G. Saurbaugh !:
Howard we think of thee
And the many hours you suffered;
But death at last has set you free,
And we worry all the day,
For the home is so lonely,
Since you have been called away.
Yes but our lips are saying this
Mid falling tears to-day,
And many hearts are aching sore
Since Howard passed away
We watched him suffer hour by hour,
As they went slowly by;
But cast far from us every fear
That he could ever die.
Farewell, dear Howard, a long farewell,
For we shall meet no more
Till we be raised with Christ to dwell
On lions happy shore
Farewell, a last farewell;
We soon shall rise to thee,
And when we do no tongue can tell
How great our JOY shall be

repaint i'll three years.
Devoe lasts six, III the same way-allow

does it mean, to last? 1t means the same

AS to covering; that's another. Here's an
instance.
Mr. J. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa. painted two
houses, lead-and-Oil; took 10 gallons,
Last summer bought 10 gallons Devoe for
the same two houses; returned 10 gallons
The paint that covers, lasts it's all paint,

but not good paint the lead wants zinc.
Better paint Devoe. Yours truly.

a Trip to the Star.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

On Good Friday morning of April
lst, as the band OF time pointed TO
'eight,' we left the home of Mr.. J.
W. Keisler's for the Blue Star school
house near Sa)uda river. After we
had watched The wheels of the We
hicle make many revolutions and
received number of jars over the
rough roads, we reached our desti-
nation a few minutes before the
appointed time. These spare min
utes were spent in grasping the
hands of those whom We were &C
quainted and forming new acquaint-
ances with those whom We had never
met.
It was now time for us to go on
the school grounds, we had not more
than espied the beautiful decorated
building when we suddenly heard
the sound of horse-hoofs and buggy
wheels in the yard. This vehicle
bore the admirable teacher Miss
Dora Shirey and her sister, Miss
Lila, to the scenes Of the school
grounds.
By this time q large number OF
friends and patrons of the school
had gathered on the grounds. The
hour bad now arrived for the exer-
cises TO oaD, nice audience having
assembled in the school building.
Mr.. Clearance Shirey started up the
phonograpn which played the we'll
known piece Quit that tickling me" /"
After which the exercises were
opened with prayer by Mr.. William
Koon, then came the address of
welcome by one of the pupils which
bade cordial invitation to all those
that were there; next came number
of declamations and medal contest
by six young ladies who did exceed
ingly we'll and which gave the COM
mittee much trouble 10 decide to
whom the medal was due, but after
much delay with the committee the
medal was awarded to Miss Lila
Sbirey as the best elocutionist and
Miss Katie Dreher second best. Also
an address made by the Hon. George
Bell Zimmerman who said he was
filing the appointment made by the
Hon. J. B. Towill, who was unex

TO the Editor Of the Dlspatcb:
Westher conditions are favorable
to the farmer and be is now putting
in full time. We are somewhat en'
couraged with the progress beioe
made and the prospects for the future
are bright and hopeful.
By the time this reaches the read
ers of the Dispatch cotton planting
will be under full sway. Pfepara
I tions have beer made for heavy crop
II seems that our brother farmer
can't learn The lesson of planting
plenty food products and cotton as a
surplus crop. Should the weather
conditions be favorable and there be
a full crop realized, the prices will
not be such as have been this season.
If the farmers would plant half the
acreage, fertilize better, they would
command better prices with much
less labor. The farmers are about
the only laboriDg class of people who
are not organized to better their
financial conditions.
It now seems a foregone conclu-
sion that Judge 4. B. Parker, of
New York. will be the Democratic
nominee for President. The nomi-
nation will be between him and ".

cal pot boils on the opposite side.
