MausfIed Bay MccIelIand.

Seldom have our people been so
saddened as when the announcement
came that one Of Lexington's
brightest sons, Mansfield Bay
McClelland, had succumbed to
disease and lay dead in the haywood
HOSpital at Sedalia.
Mr.. McOlelland was born In St.
Louis and moved TO this county at
such an early age that we feel we can
righufuIly claim MIN as our own.
When very young he took his place
among the business men Of town,
commanding their respect, esteem
and confidence from the first and be
soon became one Of the leading
citizens. When he left to 60 with
the Beiler Grocery Co., at Sedalia,
his absence here was felt by all with
great regret. The ties of friendship
and association with him were
strong, for whenever he returned,
be full into his old place as though
he hEd never LETT, resuming bis
usual interest In every thing around
him.
His bright and cheerful disposition
hsd it's influence over all. His chief
object was to make as happy as he
could every one around him. To
strangers, he was cordial and genial ;
to his friends, he was constant and
true. Beneath the attractions the
public admired, there was depth of
character and bigness of heart few
can claim, The combination Of
integrity, unseltishness and strength
that was In him, made hima man ol
most unusual worth and his resource
full mind and untiring energy made
him capable Of surmounting obstacles
that would have overpowered other
When he was stricken by the dreaC
disease a year ago, realizing his con
dltion was critical and that he nigh
be called away at any time, HI
accepted the inevitable and even il
those sad hours, his sunny disposition
asserted itself, for be wanted his las
days to be free from sadness ant
sorrow to others, He was not afrail
Of death, but he loved life and b.
loved it in its brightest and happies
form
His short life Of forty one years ha
been a life well spent, a life o
activity and unsel6shness, and in 1t
deeds and general good 1t is If
Ieoual TO the allotted time Of man
IThe world is better that be has lived

WAIT FOR HUNGER
Good Advice from Mitchell 4 Egbers
as to How to Create nm Appetite.

Any physician will tell you that II
is unwise to eat unless one is really
hungry. It is far better to miss a meal
than to eat without appetite.
But do not take a tonic. stimulant or
appetizer to make you hungry. Nit
chell and Egbers say that the best way
to create an appetite is to restore the
digestion to health by the use OF MILO
ma stomach tablets, a reliable remedy
that they have with the best OF salts

When Mi-o-na is used the irritation

ing will be soother. the gastric fol-
licles will be strengthened so that they
will pour out the natural digestive
fluids with regularity. and the food
you eat will be perfectly digested
without distress.
A large box Of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets is sold for so cents by Mitchell &
Egbers, and II is so successful and re-
liable In curing indigestion and other
stomach troubles, with the exception
of cancer OF the stomach. that they sell

verse of the second chapter of He
brews, which reads as follows:
Wherefore in all things it behooved
him to be made like unto his brethern
and a faithful high priest in all things
pertaining to God, to make reconcilli-
alton for the sins of the people" In
the course of his remarks, which were
listened to with the utmost attention
throughout, the bishop said God, the
universally recognized in Jewish ma
tional and individual history. The
humaness of Christ's life was at all
times manifest in his earthly career.
He was tempted in all points like as
we are, and, from his infancy to man
hood, passed through all of the vicis-
STUDIES and changes that character
lied the life of those about him.
The childhood of Christ was devoted
to study in order that his later life
might be replete with human wisdom
1t is every mans duty to be wiser to-
day on the things Of this world and
the one to come than he was yester-
day. By the application of mind
languages, Hebrew, Greek and Ara
maic. Christ also worked hard. A
man that does not work is more likely
to forfeit his inheritance to the sun
ship of God than those who do.
Christ was misunderstood by his
friends. He was maligned by his ene-
mics: in these respects he did not diff
fer from manhood Christ was brave,
indeed, no knight in the days OF chiv-
airy possessed half his courage. He
drove the money changers out of the
temple by whip of plated ropes, lay
ing the scourage upon their backs
with vigor that was irresistible.
When the indignation of the Master
was aroused he did not hesitate to in
woke physical prowess to right the
wrongs which he saw about him. No
man ever lived 80 courageous life
as Christ in all things affecting the
physical. moral and intelligent prob
lens of his day. He was perfection
| in all things, no less SO in physical
courage than in the purity OF his life" ("
At the close of the sermon the dedi-
catory offering was again taken and
at its conclusion the board of trustees
went forward and occupied the row
of seats Immediately in front Of the

Mir Beach was in Holyoke this week to have peep at "The Clansman," but he didn't confine his mission to that particu- lar thing and took promenade up and down some of the principal thor oughfares of the hustling town to see the walks. It was about the worst kind of weather we had this winter and Mir Beach. who by the way Is not a fault-finder, says that he con- sidercd the deplorable condition of the sidewalks in Holyoke due to the fact that sufficient time hadn't elapsed after the storm to enable folks to clean them. He wondered if the same conditions obtained here and went out to investigate. He found things much better here than in Holyoke and took pride in telling everybody about it when he got through sightseeing.

City Clerk M. D. Mo- Mahon has compiled list of bride rooms who have come back here to reside after their honeymoon and has sent out notices calling attention to their delinquency. The Vermont statutes covering the matter read: If male resident of this state is married without the state, he shall within sixty days deposit with the clerk of the town Cor city) where he resides a certificate embracing the statistics required by law in mar riage certificates and upon failure so to do he shall be fined not less than $10."
 The city clerk says young married men have neglected to comply with this provision and that some of them have been liable to fine for more than a year. He does not intend to begin immediately proceedings look ing to the imposition of fines, prefer ring to give the delinquents warm ing first.
