A Sad Death.
A True Account

A fashionable lady attended re-
vlval meetings at the Morgan
Street Church, Chicago. Deep
conviction settled on her soul.
She wept and said she would
be glad to>find peace, but was not
ready to give up the pleasures of
the world. To drown her convic-
tlons she absented herself from the
house of God. Time hurried on
and soon she was on her death bed.
Realizing her condition she sent
for friend who had attended the
meetings with her and who had
listened to the spiritual pleadings
and found the JOY of pardoning
love. This friend hurried to the
bedside of the dying one AS she
entered the room the dying woman
looked at her with eyes of terror,
and grasping her hand she exclaim-
ed, fOh stay with me till | am
gone! am dying and am going
to hell! Tell Bro. C.(the minister)
to preach hell as he has never
preached it before, for l am going
to hell!''. Then pointing to the
wardrobe she said, go there
and you will see what has ruined
my soul" She opened the door
and saw the rich, fashionable cloth
ing and turned again to the side of
the dying woman, who. raised her
self up and sang the hymn she had
so often heard at the meeting:
Parting to meet again at the judge
ment, *. Ss
Parting to meet no mora here below,
Oh, how sad the thought of thee,
Traveller to eternity;ss ~;
Parting to meet again sat the Judge
ment.
s&s,-
As the last word fell. from her
lips she fell back on tile pillow and
her soul passed into eternity to
meet the God whose mercy she
had trifled away with. gaudy toys
of this earth. Deaf reader, talse~
warning from this sad death. Turn
away from the vanities of earth
and give God youF:heart and life's
service, and eternal happiness
shall be yours.

Strange PIaymates.

A pretty story has been told me
of small blue dove, or rerha, s
more properly a pigeon, owned by
Mr.. j. Clifford, of Bath, Nj inc.
that has escaped the claws of the
neighborhnod cats ana proving
hawks, and is living well and hear
ty at the ripe old age of five years
or rather was when the incident
was related. He was certainly
quiet remarkable bird in his way.
When the old family cat has her
brood of little ones every spring he
is delighted and seems to think
they are under his especial care,
and will hover around them, talk
ing to them in a low, cooling tone.
When the old cat is away he
will work diligently, carrying
straws in his beak and spreading
across them, and woe to the hand
that tries to take a kitten from the.
nest when he has charge, He
will peck and strike with his wings
anyone who comes near. He is
not blest with that gentle charac-
ter and disposition of his race, and
would rather fight than not. and
makes good protector; but after
the kittens get large enough to
play they have fine times together.
The kittens seem to think he is
a playmate for them and will roll
together, strange mixture of fur
and feathers. But sometimes he
does not agree to such rough usage,
and he flies off after giving a sly
pinch to the kittens tails. He and
the family cats are on the best of
terms and all eat from the same
dish. g. B. Griffith.

delivery of our papers throughout
the country. If we fail to deliver
any papers at the MT. Sterling
Post Office, said failure is uninten-
tional on our part. We, like all
men, are liable to accidGits. If a
subscriber receives even one copy
having his or her name printed on
it this is evidence that the name is
on our mailing list. We regret
that a single paper is miscarried.
We hope that no subscriber who
owes us will be so thoughtless as to
ask his postmaster to inform us
that his paper is refused"
mot wanted" Same will please
notify us of desire to discontinue
and also send amonnt due, and we
will with, pleasure discontinue.
For a man to order a paper and
receive same for any length of
time and then try to have it
stopped without paying dues, sub
iect that man to the suspicion that
he is either careless or wishes to
violate his promise and obligations.
We will cheerfully help you out
of your difficulty, and will apollo
gize and make amends if we are at
fault.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
Observe thursday, the 29th Day
Of November, 1906.

That the people of Kentucky
may properly observe our coun-
try's most hallowed custom, /
hereby appoint in accordance with
the action of the President of the
United States that this State OBJ
serve Thursday, November 20, as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout the Commonwealth. On
that day all business should be sus-
pended; the eager pursuit fer
wealth should cease; the restless
struggle for profit and gain should
give place to quiet and peace, while
grateful people in their usual
places of worship shall give thanks
to generous and merciful God,
who has SO richly blessed us.
Our people have prospered be-
yond all precedent, our nation in a
little over a century has sprung
into a position of power and might
beyond the boldest dreams of its
founders and today commands the
admiration and respect of the entire
world. In material wealth we are
without an equal. Nature has law
ished upon us her choicest boun-
ties. The sunshine of peace and
contentment sheds its genial light
upon happy land. To deserve
and retain the blessings, due rec
ognitlon should be given to the
divine source from which they
come. In place of Boosting of our
greatness, let us humbly praise and
thank Him to whom we owe all.
The strength and welfare of our
Republic, the endurance of its
splendid Institutions and the prog
ress of our Christian civilization,
must depend upon the spirit with
which our people can observe the
