MeSsrs. Geo. Smith, Robert Hud-
son and G. B. Smith Will
Burn Brick.

The above named gentlemen have
formed partnership and will burn all
the brick that may be needed in this
section IN 1906. They are now prepar-

saws and welding the maui.
The kiln will be back of the fair ground

permit, their manufacture will begin.
The first kiln will have $50, 900 in it.

OLD TOBACCO.
For Nearly a Century 1t Has Been
in Secret Hiding.

Mr.. j. P Sallee, of Green county,
was in our office last Monday, and he
presented us with twist of tobacco
that is over II years old or over. Some
time ago Mr.. VIM. Spears, of that Sec
ton, was tearing down an old dwelling,
and found twist of tobacco that had
been deposited before the house had
been remodeled. In tracing the date
of its reconstruction, the oldest citizens
of the section date it back II years ago.
Just how long the tobacco had been
there b efore tina t, could not
be determined, but at any rate it was
placed before the house was rebuilt.
1t has lost it's strength and flavor, but
its color is in tact, showing that it was
at one time strong and vigorous.
Doubtless the one who deposited there
has long since quit the walks of life.
In this issue will be found resolutions
from Glensfork Lodge, concerning the
death of Bro. Walkup. This matter
was promptly attended to by the breth-
rem of the lodge, and the request was
made for publication in the News, but
by some way or other was overlooked
las. we did not receive copy of resolu-
tons, but merely requested to take
same from the Spectator. Under such
circumstances we are willing to COM
ply with, but in this instance it was for
gotten and we make this explanation
full and free to Glensfork Lodge and
to the many relatives and friends Of thu
deceased.

self as follows: | am for the purchase
of rock crusher. l understand the
town has already decided to purchase
one. Nothing is worth as much to a
county as good roads, we find plenty of
stone which should be utilized in max
ing good roads and with crusher the
stone could be used at no great cost and
the county be much benefited by the in
vestment in stone crusher. / am for

Mr.. James Naylor expresses himself
as follows 81 am in favor of the Fis-
cal Court taking a progressive step,
buy couple of rock crushers and put
them to work. Our roads will never
be any better in Winter time unless we
put on stone. / do not know the limit
of tax for this~purpose, but l believe in
putting it to the limit and keeping it
there until we get some roads. l am a
believer in bridges as we'll, and hope
that three or four may be built where
they are badly needed. Every body is
in favor of good roads. so now lis the
time, in my judgment, to Start the

OBITUARY

Mary Jones Wilcox was born at
Starkey, Gates Co., New York, on
December Is, 1886, where she spent
most of her girlhood days, and where
at the age of % she was married to
David H. Wilcox.
After few years they came west,
living in one of our sister states. In
the year of 1879 they came to Sank
Centre, where their home has been
ever since. A large family was their
portion, eleven children being born
to them. Two of these, boy and a
girl, were taken from them by death.
The other nine have grown to man
hood and womanhood, and all but
one settled in homes of their own.
Mrs. Wilcox we'll knew the burdens
and cares of life, but through it all
she was ever good mother, kind
and loving, patient and uncomplain-
ing. For fifteen years she has been a
great sufferer with a complication of
diseases, and for the last six years
she has been almost a helpless
invalid, her home being with her
daughter, Mrs. Geo. Cumming, where
she died on Sunday, March 25, the
disease eliminating in diabetes. She
had spent comfortable day Saturday,
friends and relatives calling upon
her. She asked them to stay as long
in the evening as possible. She re-
tired at $50 O'Clock, happy and cheer
full, and feeling unusually we'll. She
was not confined to her bed at all. In
the night she was heard to make a
peculiar noise, and her daughter, on
going to her room, found her trying
to get up. She started to help her
dress, when she seemed to collapse.
She was replaced on the bed and i'm
mediately sank into unconsciousness
from which she never rallied. One
spasm after another followed, and the
end was welcomed by the dear ones as
a grateful release from pain and an
guish. Her mother, Mrs. Hannah
Jones, aged 8S years, stood over the
suffering daughter until the end
came, and exclaimed as the spirit
took its flight: so death, where is
thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy
victory?" And from these words the
fuheral sermon was preached on Tues
day afternoon by Rev. H. V. Adams at
the M. E. church. The body was
followed to the cemetery by a large
number of relatives and friends.
Mrs. Wilcox leaves to mourn her
loss, an aged husband, who is very
feeble; her aged mother, Mrs. Hannah
Jones; three sisters, Mrs. Aaron
Burgers of North Dakota, Mrs. VIM.
Woodruff and Mrs. Geo. Blakesly of
Sank Centre; her nine children, Mrs.
M. M. Ferris in Indiana, Mrs. Rose
Buell. in South Dakota, Frank Wilcox
in Mankato, Mimi, Scott Wilcox in
Alexandria, Mimi, Mrs. VIM. Miller,
Mrs. Geo. Cumming, Mrs. VIM.
Beidleman, Miss Lettie Wilcox, and
Livington Wilcox, all of Sank Centre.
The aged mother, Mrs. Jones,
selected the text and the hymns for
the funeral service.
"Oh, how blest are We, whose tolls are
| ended,
Who through death unto God have
| assembled,
| Ye have arisen
From the cares which keep us still
| in prison."

Many animals are born with an in

The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell
a ferret, and of young turkeys which
hear the shrill cry of a hawk they
have never. heard or seen before, are
proved examples of the strength Of
these instructive antipathies.

Race and Nation

(The writer alone is responsible for the
views expressed)
In these days whenever Jewish ques-
tions are being discussed in pulpit, plat
form and press there is much use and
abuse Of the terms race" and "na-
ton" The confusion of these terms
leads to many absurd statements and
strange pieces Of logic. There is no such
phenomenon as racial Jew. Racial en-
tity presupposes racial purity, which the
Jew can not boast. The most outspoken
Zionist does not claim it for the Jew
The admixture Of Babylonian, Greek,
Roman and European blood certainly
has not tended to preserve racial integ-
rty. The Jew was once Semitic, but to-
day he is to all intents and purposes al
most wholly Aryanized. The onl ly racial
class in which he can find place is the
Caucasian. That the Jews of all lands
feel that they are bound together by GER

not necessarily the most important, sim

have not succeeded in suppressing the
national consciousness Of the Jew. Ra-
cial unity and national consciousness are
two distinct things.
We do not know what racial Jew
might or might not do, for we have
never met one, so that we could interview
him and ascertain his intentions. For
the national Jew, we may speak, for we
desiring to lose his national distinctness
in his environment, the national Jew
seeks to establish that environment
which shall be distinctly Jewish, and
where national integrity will be as
sured. Is it not rather the Jew who is
Jew, only because of his religion, who
intermarries and assimilates? If there
is no such thing as Jewish national
consciousness, why should a Jew who
hears radical preaching, week in and
week out, who hears agnostic philosophy
proclaimed from the pulpit, refrain from
marrying Unitarian, Christian agnos-
tic or even Christian scientist? Have
not the latter made bid for our patron
age by affirming the doctrine of unity?
American Judaism is in peculiar posi-
ton. 1t scouts the idea Of nationalism,
it shudders at the mere mention Of syn
odism and ecclesiasticism. 1t accepts
neither Jewish church nor a Jewish
state. And let us remind the critics Of
Jewish nationalism that the types
"lodge" Jew and "charity" Jew and
the "Kaddish Jew" and the "Jew who
is Jew when he is snubbed by Gentle
patrician" are the peculiar products of
religious" Judaism and have no place
in the ranks Of the nationalists.
For us, too, the religion of the Jew is
Of paramount Importance. We, too are
jealous for the law of God. We are also
desirous Of seeing a union Of Israel raj
lying around the ark Of the covenant.
But an environment which has made the
expression Of an honest Jewish emotion
thing Of which to be ashamed, which
has created cowardly Jews, which has
vulgarized the people once known as ga
people Of priests, is not the proper one
for united Israel. Prophecy has not
perished out of Israel. The old proph-
cts were never popular. They were
dubbed "meddlers in Israel" obstruc-
tionists, crazy and what not. Isaiah s
audiences no doubt contained many of
the worshipers Of an easy convenience,
and followers Of the "laissezfaire" pol
icy But just as prophecy saved Israel
in the days of old, so will it be our peo-
ples salvation in the days in which we
are living Nationalism is the latest

When Korah melted the people Of Is
rael against Moses and Aaron, the wife
Of On, the son Of Peleth, said unto her
husband: "What complaint have you,
that you are also among the malcon-
tents7" And On answered in great an
ger: '"Why should Moses and Aaron as
sumo full authority over the congrega-
ton Of Jahve?" "Whether Moses rules
or Korah rules" said his wife, "what
difference will it make to you? Are you
too, going to reign? Are you, also, to be
leader in Israeli" Whereupon she
opened a flask Of wine, gave him to
drink, put him to sleep and placed him
on his couch. This done, together with
her daughter, she took her stand at the
entrance of her tent, with her head un-
yelled. AS soon as man would come
to ask for her husband he would turn
quickly away. Suddenly the earth op-
ened up and swallowed Korah and his
entire following When all Israel was
fleeing in panic On awoke from his
drunken sleep and he realized what God
had done to Korah and his mob of reb
els and he said: blessed be Jahve the

The Wisdom Of Solomon.
When Solomon was about to build the
Temple, he sent to Pharoah King of
Egypt, and asked him to send him ex-
pert artisans who were skilled in labor.
Pharoah summoned his magicians and
ordered them to choose by means Of their
secret arts the children who were des-
tined to die that year and to send them
to Solomon in Jerusalem. When they
came to Jerusalem Solomon was pos
sessed Of an inspiration and he took some
death robes, placed them in their hands,
and sent them back to Egypt with this
message: Are there not enough graves
and death robes in Egypt, that you have
sent them to die in Jerusalem?" Pha-
