John ArVin RObertSOn'S Death
A Great Shock To His Many
Friends in The County
IN HIS TWENTY FIRST YEAR.

Once again the "angel of death" has
passed over our community and on last
Wednesday morning took from our
midst one of our best christian young
men, John Arvin Robertson standing
on threshold of manhood, lacking only
a few days of reaching his 21st birth
day. this young man so full of life and
all its possibilities was called from earth
to that on high. The summons found
him ready and willing to go. Truthful
honest, inst, and pure, his was life,
though short that counts for much for
his influence for Righteousness was such
that will go on and onin an ever widen
ing circle till it reaches the shores of
Eternity. His record as a Sunday
School scholar has rarely il ever been
equalled, he having missed only one
session in the past Syears. The impress
sive funeral services were conducted in
the church in Custom by the Rev
Graves of Irvington, who chose for his
subject, Jonathans reply to David. Thou
wilt be missed because thy seat will be
empty. The beautiful flowers and the
large concourse of people who followed
the remains to their last resting place
attested the love and friendship left for
this young man. We deeply sympahtze
with his family in their great sorrow
and commend them to Him who was a
man of sorrow and acquainted with grief
There is no flock however watched
and tended
But one dead lamb is there.
There is no fireside howso ere defind-
ed
But has one vacant chair.
Let us be patient! These severe af-
flictions,
Not from the ground arise.
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise
There is no DEATH what seems so is
transition. ...
This life of mortal breath.
Is but suburb of the elipian
Whose portal we call Death"

Watson On The Weekly Newspaper.

position that the Weekly newspaper ably ana

country editors would but realize their possibilities
that they would reduce the daiIies to impotence
and the triumph of the people would be assured.

is q yerv correct one "IF ABLY AND CONSC1-
