then find the grave. He finally ran across the identical tree. and says it is little changed by the sixty-three years, though there are trees 60 feet high growing on the land they had farmed. From the old walnut, Mir. Langley went directly to the grave, found and identified large stone they had taken from it when digging, and the flat stone they had placed as a marker at its head, thoug h this had fallen or been knocked down.
 While here Langley saw Ben Pirtle. son of John Pirtle, and he was recognized by Pirtle, who came up to hlm and called him by bis given name.
 Among others whom he remem- bers as being here before he lett are Tom Edom, John Bull and his son.in-law, Tom Brown; John Stewart, who settled at the big spring where Dallas was after words built: John B. Anderson, who came with the Langleys and built a small water mill on creek near; Jimmie Pope, who lived oue and one-halt miles southeast of Dallas; four brothers named Gordon; Dr. Hayden and John Winton, Bud Wintou and a family named Quinton, who had race horses.
 There are many others whom Mir. Langley remembers, and his memory for the names seems re- markable, S he tells how they 
 are spelled-both family and given names.
 MT. Langley has all his life been a farmer. He IS strong for one his age, has iron-gray hair and looks and talks like the or dinary man of 50 years.
 His postoffice address is Whclen Springs, Clark county, Arkansas, and he would doubtless like to hear from any one who might have remembered him through the long years since he was a settler in this county.

It almost breaks our hearts to know that Clyde's merry voice can never be heard around the fireside any more and when we look for him we see hin not, but let us be submissive to the inevitable. Let our faith overleap our boundaries of the grave and view the eternal world where the glorified are at rest We will hope and believe that some time, somewhere those lips tha' tell us good night here will joy
 fully bid us good morning there , While we feel that earth has los a true friend we are sure tha
 heaven has galned preciou: . iewel; so let US all live such ; , life as to be prepared when deatl comes to us to meet over on tn , golden shore with those wh'
 have gone before his brother il Christ. Robert F. Hampton.
