MRS. THOMAS YOUNG.

On Sept. 3, 1906, at o'clock Monday
morning Mrs. Thomas Young, widow of
Thomas Young, passed from this world
of care to partake of the joys and bless
ings of heaven. She was stricken with
paralysis seven years ago and for over
two years had been in helpless condi
ton, but through these last weary years
she bore her troubles with cheerfulness
and never complained. Mrs Young was
of kind and loving disposition, always
ready in former years to aid anyone in
trouble or sickness, and although care
she will be greatly missed by her chill
dren to whom she has been loving
mother and peaceful home-maker, and
by her noble life she has unquestionably
won the crown of righteousness.
Mrs. Thomas Young was born in the
town of Porter. Rock county, Dec. Doth,
1852, her maiden name being Celia
White. She was married to Thomas
Young July Is, 1869, and to them were
born seven children, two of whom pre-
coded her to the unknown. The five
surviving are: Thomas Frank, William,
Cora and Anna, who have the sympathy
Of the entire community.
Funeral services were held at her late
home Wednesday afternoon at l3O, con-
Quoted by Rev. L. A. Parr, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in Cooksvllle
cemetery where her husband and sons
already lay.
am sad and lonely tonight,
Through my tears cannot see;
The rocking chair stands empty now,
My mother has gone from me.
And tonight my home is lonely
And my heart with grief is rent,
AS sitting alone l recall
The words before she went.
And her acts of gentle kindness
We so lovingly recall
Had endeared her to our household,
And we miss her, one and all.

George AIDE is said to have remarked
after furnishing the manuscript of THE
College Widow" which comes to the
Myers Grand, GAINESVILLE, on Tuesday,
Sept. Is, that if the play was not sue
cess he would never write another. "lt's
the best can do" declared the young
playwright. Since the production of the
comedy the verdict of all America has
been so unanimously approving that Mr..
AIDES head might we'll be turned if he
were made of common clay, which he is
not. 'The most successful and yet the
most modest of American writer's for the
stage" is compliment frequently paid
him, which acquaintance OF the Indl-
anian say is fully justified.

ed this season by one of the strongest
companies Henry w. Savage has yet or
ganized. Prices, $3.50, SLOO, Toe, 5Oc,

There is not man in our city, how
ever Indifferent to the claims of Chris

lily here if there were no churches or

ais of the community. What would be
the condition of this community at the
end of the next ten years if from this
time until then the churches were closed?
To what extent would life and property
be safe? And yet, with all the organized
agencies of the churches, the devil too
frequently holds high carnival. What
might we not expect if wholly Invested
of these good inf1uences?-Ex.
