DEATH OF RUFUS HICKEY.

1t is sad to think the death angel
has visited such nice young man at
this place. His age was about 10. The
friends whom he made in his life were
many and if he ever had an enemy IT
is unknown to me- On Wednesday
morning, Oct. 25th, 1905, he was work
ing in new opening of the mines
near his home and between 8 and 10
o clock large piece Of slate that was
thought to weigh 1900 pounds broke
loose over his head and fell on him
and mashed him to death. He only
made but one struggle and passed a.
way. Byron Land, who was working
with him called him by his name
number of times, but death forbid the
answer of his calls. He leaves an aged
father, a dear mother, five brothers
and one sister to mourn his loss, and
it seemed very hard for them to part
with so great loved one. The words
that he spoke were always soft and
kind and he was never known to speak
an i'll word to his mother in all his
life.
He has been seeker of the Lord Je--
sus for two years and on Saturday,
Oct. 21st, 1905, the Lord reached down
from His throne in Glory, with His
strong arm to take him into eternal life
with JOY, peace and happiness and on
Sunday morning following when he
came into the service of the Lord there
was one of the brightest and happiest
smiles on his face that ever shone on
any face on this earth. He left such
comforting words with his friends a.
bout his souls salvation that we all
truly believe he is at rest. Dear pa
rents, lift up your voices in praises to
the Lord that you have dear boy who
is'now resting in that paradise so bless
ed. If you do not feel able to bear so
great burden of sorrow call upon the
Lord Jesus who is always so willing
and ready to lend, His helping hand
. unto all who call upon Him for Hi
u great help. Brothers and sisters, dt
not weep over the lost body of YOU
p dear brother for there is no weeping
that can bring him back to this earth
/ The Lord needed one more angel ami
His shining band and SO he Thought
e best to take one from your hands
e Strive the greater every day OF you
lives to meet him in the world tina
shall never end, where there will be n
rs more pains or death, no more weeping
" no more sorrowing, no more tears, bu
where all joy, peace and gladnes
le shall be forever In that world theI
will be no parting. All who live f
st the Lord in this life will be gathere
to Glory in the morning of joy.
ed once had brother who was lovin
er to me. His face no more on tn
earth can see but in that great maj
er sion so bright and SO fair, with Il
glad angels his portion will share.

Deafness Cannon be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con,
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumping sound OF
i'm perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition. hearing will he destroyed
forever; nihe cases out OF ten are caus'
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused BY

the train at Whitwell for Jasper at
7:45 a. M, and landed in Jasper some
thing like half-past eight for the pur-
pose of aiding the Sunnyside baseball
club in ball game at Jasper We
were met at the train and escorted to
the background by Prof. Simpson. At
ter some time we were escorted to din
ner by the different members of the
Jasper team. After we had ministered
to our appetites we went to the ball
ground again, and at p. IN. the game
was called by Hon. j. NJ. Price, Coun-
ty Court Clerk. Then the Guys asso-
citation was formed and played an ac-
tive part in the game. My trip to Jas
per reminded me of story once relat
ed to me. 1t was said that the ne
groes were holding a series Of services
at Dayton, Tenn, and one old negro
on being called upon to pray, prayed
this prayer: "Oh Lord, remove al

Glad to hear things are quieter in
Whitwell, outside of an occasional
spasm from excited individuals. If
publishing the true facts in the case
will keep things quiet, let's have every
outbreak reported, and fasten the
guilt on the right parties through the
papers, if it is not possible to arrest
the parties themselves. This may per-
haps keep down a riot which, under
former conditions seemed pending,
even to an outsider.

not satisfied and want him removed.
Sheriff Harris has done as well as ne

treated you with the utmost consider

many, more considerably than you
deserved. We know of a certain ex
sheriff of this county who would hav

might have been from your employees.

On March 81 last Japan and Corea en-
tered into an agreement by which Japan
assumes control Of the post and telegraph
service OF the Corean Government. Hith-
erto Corea has been losing $4,000 each
year in its post and Telegraph. A continu-
anoe OF this loss would bankrupt the limited
Corean treasury. Under the agreement
the Japanese Government is to prepare
accurate statements of profit and loss, and
all profits made are to go to the Corean
Government. 1t is provided that when
Corea is sufficiently advanced politically
and economically to be able to administer
the triple service properly and independ-
emily its administration shall be handed
over to the Corean Government and that
all necessary supplies and equipment shall
be admitted in Corea free OF duty.
This opens the way for American sales
and contracts. and the agreement seems
another proof Of the honesty Of Japan's
assertion that she Is not seeking territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but properly equipped
and open avenues OF commerce. The in
dependence OF Corea is not threatened by
this agreement.

FROM me JdOfet.
The American papers have recently been
very full of a famous marriage case which
has been before the ecclesiastical tribunals
of Rome for a considerable time: last week
they announced that 1t had been settled at
last by decision In favor OF the validity OF
the second marriage Of the Princess K. They
were quite wrong. however. for the decision
had been given the other way only q few days
ago.
The facts are these: Some years ago
