ALIGNED WITH GOD
A Good Lady Afflicted For Many
Years Died at an Early Age

Mrs. William McMichael died at
her home in this city, (Audubon),
Friday last, in her Thirty. first year.
She was married to VIM. McMichael
when quite young and has been
afflicted the most Of her married life.
Her beautiful Christian character
commended her to everyone with
whom she came in contact. Her
living thing found favor at her hands
and was considered by her as part
of HIS handiwork, for the use of
mankind and not to be abused. She
lived, and while living. practised a
life of preparation for the world to
come. She daily walked with Jesus,
and gloriffed God continually. Her
advice pointed others to the RIGHT
ROAD. Being frail of body she was
unable to risk exposures and was
obliged to be content at home. Her
young ambitious spirit led her to
think of days when she would be we'll
in body as when girl.
Her Affections were borne in silence
and her complaints were few. We
met and talked with her few weeks
since, she looked more rugged than
for years, and remarked 7she was
getting well fast" But, He who
doeth all things we'll had decreed
differently; His summons to the
Courts above must be needed. With
leave. taking of those dear ones left
to mourn, whose anguish tits hard to
soothe, her spirit went to the God who
gave it, her memory is all that is left
US. Fare thee we'll Elsie, thy suffer
| ings are ended.

AL MISKIMDIINS.
One of the Old Pioneers, Acquires
by Purchase Two Hundred and
Eighty Acres more Land.

Mr.. AL Miskimmins, one of the pio-
neers of Carroll county, bought $50
acres of the old swaney farm in north
Cameron township of the heirs last
week, at $S7 per acre. Mr.. Miskim-
minis will occupy the premises about
March 18th. We cannot speak too
highly of Mr.. Miskimmins as an old
settler, a noble hearted and honest
man. His advent into these parts
was when the country was new, when
the then settlers had to stand shoul der
to fhoulder, or turn back to civ liza
ton. AL was equal to the emergency.
He never faltered. out went right
ahead trying to follow the golden
rule and raise respectable family.
He has done both, and is now reward
ed by getting possession of one of the
finest farms in Cameron township.
Success ALI thee and thine. May
you live long to enjoy the fruits Of
