Milionaires and pluotocrats, as well as the

bones have to be buried. Horace. the poet.

Sir Thomas Browne says:
.In vain do individuals hope for immor-
tality, or any patent from oblivion; and
have studied conceits to perpetuate their
names.
Man is noble animal. splendid in ashes

There is no antidote against the opium
OF time, which temporarily considereth all

We may be buried by our survivors.
Ulysses in Hecuba cared not how mean

These thoughts of a famous philosopher
are suggested by a visit to Woodlawn GEM
etery, the burial place of the New York
millionaires, where lie the bones of men
who were compelled to leave billions of dol
lars when they departed from this sphere
because they knew not how to take 1t
with them. Legal skill and learning have
solved many a financial problem and pro-
vided protection for many crime; but all
the lawyers in the world have not been
able to discover any way of floating for
tune across the Styx; and the owners of
those fortunes have been compelled to be
content with erecting magnificent mauso-

Mausoleums of WoodlaWn.


There has been as much ostentation, as

as much extravaganza exhibited in the

A Worker At SO,

Rev. Thos. s. Evans of the
vicinity of Newburg, this county,
was 50 years old on the 10Th of
the present month. In conclud-
ing an interesting letter 20 the
Register, written on that date,
that venerable man says;
"For the comfort OF my old
friend G. H., | will say that | am
not only swinging" the hoe, but
the pillow, rake and shovel, and
have my garden in 'applepie'
order today; have just come in
from swinging a two-hores
plow."
Think of that, will you! A
man of 83 doing hard manual
labor, and every sentence of his
letter indicates a bright and vigor-
GUS mind, while no doubt his
heart is full of tenderness and
compassion. Over fifty years a
teacher, fifty years a preacher
and at the ripe old age of 83 an
active tiller Of the soil, with spare
time to preach the gospel. And

blooded man of science, would
rob the world Of such men and

"a Jeff Davis Duck"

Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Joe
Morrow, who lives south of town,
was attracted by hearing her
chickens squall. She got her
gun and went out and saw a bird
which she thought was hawk,
but after killing it she found that
she was mistaken, and that it
was more like a duck as it had
web feet and also a bill like a
duck. 1t measured 4 t-2 feet from
tip to tip. But the most curious
of all was that it had red badge
around its neck on which was
printed, "Vote for jeff Davis. -
