In Nemorian.

In memory of Effie May Stephens,
wife Of James Stephens and daughter
of ex-Judge Elias and Barbara Merrill,
who died in Merrill, Garrett county,
Md, April 3rd, aged 2S years, 10
months and 16 days, after an illness
of about five weeks. Deceased was a
lady of sterling character, and enjoy
ed the respect of everyone with whom
she came in contact.
She was post-Inistress at Merrill,
and gave out the first mail at that
place. While young in years she unit
ed with the Brethren church and es-
teemed it a grand privilege to go to
the house of the Lord. In Sunday
school and in preaching services her
place was seldom vacant, possessing
fine vocal talent coupled with her un-
firing effort to do what she could"
The church lost one of the sweetest
singers it ever had. The last services
and perhaps the last hymn she sang
in the church was:
in the Rifted Rock I'm Resting,
Safely sheltered | abide,
There no foes or storms modest me
While within the cleft hide
''In the rifted rock I'll hide me.
Till the storms of life are past,
All secure in this blest refuge,
Needing not the fiercest blast"
Before she passed away, she called
for the elders of the church and was
anointed according to James, 5:14.
Declaring her sympathy for the
church, she died in the hope Of
a glorious immortality. We believe
she safely rests in the Shadow of the
Rock. though her voice is hushed in
death and an eyer vacant seat, vet
the knowledge of her christian traits
of character will live in the hearts of
those who knew her. Q may the kind
words and deeds done, be an inspira-
tion to those who knew and associat-
ed with her, to higher plane of ex-
istence and like Effie unite that life
of holiness without which no man
shall see the Lord.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home by Elder S. L. Fike.
The last look was very impressive
indeed especially of her aged father
and mother bending over the beauti-
full casket and lingering, 10th to part
with fond daughter, so near and
dear to them by the ties of nature.
She was laid to rest in the cemetery
in sight of home over which no
doubt she had often gazed and medi-
tated over mans future destiny. She
leaves a husband and one little son,
Harry o., three brothers and two
sisters. The funeral was largely at
tended by about 300 people.
Quietly sleep beloved one,
Rest from thy toll thy labor's done,
Rest till the trump from the opening
skies,
Bids thee from dust to glory arise.

COMMENCEMENT.

The graduating exercises of the
Wa-Keeney High School class of 1905
were held at the court house Friday
evening These exercises marked the
close of successful school year, and
the six graduates are all good stu
dents. rejecting credit upon them
selves, their instructors and the
school.
The class colors were pink and
green and these colors were carried
out in the decorations which were
very pretty
At about 500 o'clock Misses Hene
ana Moore opened the program with
the class march, and the graduates
filed into the court house taking the
seats reserved for them on the stage.
Rev. Scott offered the invocation af-
ter which the quar6ette composed of
Mrs. John A. Nelson, Mrs A B.
Jones, Rev. J. e. Everett and Mr.. w.
E. Nelson sang ''Come Where the
Lilies Bloom" in most pleasing
manner. Miss Hattie ]. Kirby and
Rev. Everett each sang solo, and
each received the applause they so
justly won.
Each of the graduates had an ora
ration. and it seldom has been our
pleasure to compliment six young peo-
pie as we feel that we can these six.
Each won laurels, and acquitted
themselves in manner that reflects
credit upon their individual efforts.
The parents had just reason to feel
proud of these young people and we
bespeak a, bright future for them.
Their subjects showed careful prep
aration and study, and the way they
were rendered proved that these
young people understood what they
were talking about.
The presentation of diplomas was
performed by Prof. Neisley. His adj
dress was good, closing with a pretty
eXhortation to the class.
Each graduate received many beau
tiful flowers and other gifts.
The members ST the class are: Nora
A. Rinker, Walter G. Burnham, Mat
tie NJ. Shaw, Grover L. Hays, Grace
NJ. Pershing and 10y E. Hiskey.
The sixth annual commencement
of the Wa-Keeney High School will
long be remembered in the annals OF

Decoration Day at COI!yer.

We who year after year have been
permitted to attend the G. A. r. ex-
ercises at Collyer see with regret the
leSSening numbers of our cherished
heroes.
Once from forty to fifty G. A. r.
veterans occupied the front seats on
one side of the aisle, many of them
comparatively young men. On the
ether side the w. r. @. sat. Their
devotion to the cause helped to make
it a day that will ever be linked with
the early history of Collver. They
are disbanded as corps now though
their aid in all necessary preparations
for entertainments is freely given.
A few chairs on the platform is
quite sufficient to accommodate the
dear old veterans that are left to us.
Many have answered the last roll
call. Who can say theirs is not an in
visible presence while we decorate
the hallowed spot where lies the
casket that once held the spark
which saved our country from dis
honor and degradation.
In the audiance we see widows of
children to gaze in wide eyed wonder
unable to understand what it was all
about, now bring little tots of their
own. Surely they alter all these
years Of meeting in honor of the old
soldier will not fail to impress upon
the minds of their children what
these veterans have done for them.
How glad we are that the body of
John Paul Jones our first and greatest
naval hero (who did so much for u.s.
will soon be where the country he
loved and aided in her hour of need,
will have the privilege of covering
with beautiful flowers the hallowed
spot where the body rests in memory
of those heroic deeds. At the same
time we realize how little they would
avail us today had not the spirit of
rs again asserted itself in it's hour of
need. The willing price paid for it
was the desolated home, the mangled
and afflicted body; those memories we
must ever honor. The man who fails
to doff his hat to that little g. A. r.
button is unworthy of the sacrifice
made for him.

The address by Prof. Neisley, of

and listened to with marked atten

soldier feel that his sacrifice was not
in vain. His words to the younger
generation should make lasting i'm
