Obituary

Virginia wife of E B Cul- pepper breathed her last on May
 18th. 1900. The remains were laid to rest m the Union Ridge Cemetary on the I4th. Mrs Cul. pepper leaves eight children, six boys and two girls, all of whom were present when the end came. Many kind friends, with the family, stood around her bed, longing to give her relief-but all in vain. God saw fit to call her from her suffering and give her that beautiful rest. Precious in the sight of the Lord k the death

Paint Value
 toProperty

For every dollars worth of paint-eood paint-you put on your house, you add several dollars to its value, for the Gif. ference in price which property in good repair will bring over a shabby building is by no means measured by the actual cost of the improvement.
 In this calculation we have not included the insurance feat. ure-the saving of the property from decay. I j
 Good paint looks we'll, pro- tects we'll, lasts well.
 There are many limitations of paint which do none of these things, yet cost as much or more than straight white lead and linseed oil, the best paint.

Punishment of the Rich.

Does wealth mean immunity from the penalties of the law It was recently said in England that When the United States begins to send its big thieves to prison, we will then believe that it has a high standard of morality" " Who has not repeated the trite dog gerel
 It's q sin to rob q henroost of |

 But stealing thausands makes us
 gentlemen.
 It IS perverted public senti- ment re-enforced by laws uncon sciously warped by the courts hat are really not to be criticised that brings about this unfortunate con dition. Carried to its ultimate end, it must lead to disruption of the social fabric wherein the warp and wool are the equality ct man. The protection of the riclI and the harsh iniiction of stern justice upon those who have nc friends or money, is productive oi that spirit of anarchy and unrest which too often prevails even 1T governments so near the ideal al the United States.
 It is not a fgment of the pes smist's brain. It is an establishe, fact. Instances of this blindnes of ustice are of daily recurrence

of His Saints. Mrs. Culpepper was quiet, modest christian, 4 devoted wife and mother. She had been loving helpmate twen- ty six years; was ever careful to instruct her children in the right path and they will miss her loving help and counsel.
 Mrs. Culpepper was ever ready to help her friends in distress, and was never known 10 turn away from duty. Iler dcafh was a great shock to her family, but they must realize that death is but new life to q christian; the beginning of Il better ife-of reaping the fruit sown in tears and faith.
 The hearth and home seem deso- late. There seems to be no light in the cloud; the dear ones sorrow for the departed mother yet sor- row has its useful lesson; it makes the heart more tender and thorgt ful for the dear ones in the home Mrs. Culpepper could not recog nize her friends and family in her last hours. We earnestly pray that she will meet and welcome the loved ones with d glad smile when they they meet around the Throne of God.

 Monticello is big enough and strong enough, financially speak ing, to accomplish wonders if the people would all pull together. But the trouble is that they do not. What one-half wants the other half, generally. does not want, and instead of them all working for common purpose they pull in opposite directions. This spirit has greatly retarded the growth and development of the town, but we hope that soon the spirit of concession and compromise will prevail and that all classes will work in harmony for the general welfare of the city.
 On Wednesday evening of last week little Elviu, seven or eight year old son of Mir. and Mrs. K. P. Shelton, of this city, was drowned in the branch in the eastern portion of town, known as the Godfrey ditch. Little Elyin, and little negro boy about his own age were fishing, when, ac cording to the statement of the negro, Elvin was trying to unhang his hook, when he slipped and fell into the water, which was some 4 or 5 feet deep. He was dead when assistance reached him. Every ef- fort was made to bring him back to life. but in vain. Our tender est sympathies are extended the heart broken parents and other relatives.
