Death Of Rev. R. z. Germany.

After weary weeks of desperate
illness the soul of Rev. r. z.
Germany departed to be with it's
Maker on Monday, the 23rd inst.
esterday the last rites were CON
Quoted at his home,in this city by
Rev. W. E. Phifer, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, assisted by
Nh. Germany's son-in-law, Rev.
Mr.. Webb, after which the body
was inferred at Rose Hill.
Mr.. Germany leaves a devoted
family to mourn their loss-a
wife, four sons and two daugh-
ters, the elder daughter being
married. Mr.. Germany's was
one of the sincere, earnest spirits
always seeking to do good, and to
better the spiritual condition of
those about him. He was deeply
consecrated to his work and his
children give evidence of the real
ity of his Christian profession, all
following his worthy example.
The family circle was strongly
bound together in love and
religion, and the broken link
brings sorrow, humanity speak
ing, that it must so remain-untiI
reunited on shores beyond. That
the beloved husband and father
was ready to depart and be with
his God, must bring solace and
Joy in the midst of the shadow of
bereavement.
The family have the sympathy
of numerous friends in this city
and elsewhere.

BROOKHAVEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The boys are making fine pro-
gress with their gymnasium in
the basement uf the school build
ing. They spent last Saturday in
putting in a section of concrete
floor, with drain tile to carry of
the water, and now have two
shower baths in operation. If
their fathers and friends could
have seen their enthusiasm in
doing this work, we feel sure that
they would respond heartily to
the call which will be made short
ly for donations of money with
which to further equip the gym
nasium.
1t is hoped that sufficient funds
may be obtained to procure strik-
ing bags, parallel bars, cheat
weights, etc., so that even those
who do not play foot ball may
have the benefit of wholesome ex-
ercise.
The basket ball girls are
planning a series of games for
the purpose of raising money to
help out with the gymnasium and
other athletic equipment.
The boys hope to arrange sew
eral match games of oot-balI for
the fall months, after which they
will give their attention to basket
ball on their side of the yard.
No Improvement has ever been
made on the school property that
was more appreciated by the
teachers and pupils than the con-
crete walks that have just been
completed. They are a thing of
beauty and will be "a Joy for
ever"
May the grading of the yard be
the next move!
The Principal made announce
ment. Monday of new medal that
is offered to the boys of the high
school department.. Mr.. Bennett
Sartin, a graduate of the school,
who is now taking his college
course, proposes to give annually
a handsome gold medal for excelr
lence in oratory. The contestants
must deliver orations of their own
writing. This medal is sure to
result in great benefit to the boys
and the school.

the story tellers' league" are

flee away, and where there is
neither sorrow nor sickness nor
any such thing. Our sympathy

LETTERS WIPED OUT DEBT.
Tender Mssives Certainly for Once
Answered Good purpose.

There was great rejoicing in the
New Brooklyn church In Sisklerville,
N. j., when the last dollar OF the debt
against the parsonage was paid. The
money was raised in popular man.
ner Every female member of the
church wrote letter to all the boys
that were her schoolmates in bygone
days, no matter where they now lived,
soliciting contributions. The men
members likewise wrote to their
schoolgirl sweethearts of long ago.
Many a pleasant correspondence de-
veloped, and it Is said some of tho
letters were calculated to revive the
spark of affection that was kindled
when the writer's were youngsters, but
as husbands and wives were allowed
TO read one another's letters not a
case of jealousy Is recorded. The
money came in so fast that in a short
time the entire debt was paid on, and
as the contributions are still coming
In the parsonage will be frightened
by new coat of paint.

LITTLE THINGS or LIFE.

Has Much to Learn.

TITS queer how little most people
know about little things" said quar-
relsoms man not long since. Some
day am going to start = school where
only the minutias Of life will be
tausht-how to button the coat when
you put It on. how to brush hat, and
30 on. Not one In hundred persons
knows It II Z mistake to button the
bottom Of coat hrst. The top but.
ton should be the first one. otherwise
the shape of the coat, even II It Is
carefully tailored, is seriously Affect
ed. This little pointer alone would
save many persons a lot Of money.
A hat should always be brushed in
the direction opposite to the hands OF
q clock. Otherwise the pile Of the felt
Is taken out and the hat given a
cheap, poor appearance. OF course,
with straw this does not apply In
the care Of paste. too. 1T is odd how
little Is known by most people. Tho
best way to buy paste nowadays is in
the water-well jars put up by all large
manufacturers. Then when such q jar
is gotten keep the well always half
full of water. If paste becomes hard,
too. from lack OF use stir It with a
stick until 1t has proper consistency.
II obdurate add little water. II still
obdurate after this add little glyc-
erin and water. This will put 1t in
good condition. Altogether, II people
only knew more about the little things
of life and less of the pretentious and
immaterial ones, 1t would be q far
happier place to live in-thls world
we have down here"
