Tribute OF Respect.

The following preamble and res
olntions were adopted by McCon
nellsbnrg Lodge, No. IA 0. O.
F., at their regular meeting on
March 15, 1907, ON the death of
Bother Lewis Chambers:
Like the sands inthc hour-glass. they
are passing away Again our circle
has been broken and this time the
great summons came 20 one who for
more than fifty years practiced Friend
ship, Love aud Truth Ia all the activ-
ties OF his daily lie. At the age of 81
Brother Lewis Chambers fulfilled his
lay, the mighty husbandmen has bid
lie faithful servant cease from his
'arthly toll TO est upon the howery
bed of eternal sleep, and guarded by
angel watchers, curtained by eternal
mysteries he will sleep on until the
trumpet of the Archangel shall summon
him TO receive the Crown of Life which
fadeth not away. In the decease Of
Bro h r Chambers our Lodge mourus
the loss OF one OF its most devoted
members, and one whose life was
blessing to those with whom he came
in contact, and as the portals of the
Golden Gate swing open to admit our
brother into that beautiful city beyond
the cold and silent stream OF death VIZ
then realize that onr loss is his gain
and we sing with the poet,
"How vain is all beneath the skies,
How transient every earthly bliss,
How slender all the fondest ties,
That bind us TO a world like this.
But though earth sfairest blossoms die
And all beneath the skies is vain
There is a brighter word on hign,
Beyond the reach of care and pain"
WHEREAS, The arrow of death has
pierced our brother and removed him
from our circle where we had learned
20 love him, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we lament the sew
erance of those ties that bound us to-
gether, and bow in humble submission
to the will of Him who appoints to ev-
cry man his time.
RESOLVED, That this Lodge extends
to his bereaved children our most fra
ternal symathy and that we condole
the severance of the tie of earth.
RESOLVED, That the charter of the
Lodge be draped in mou ming for
period of thirty days, and the mem
5ers of the Lodge wear the badge OF
mourning.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be attached to the records
OF the Lodge, that copy be sent to
the family OF our deceased brother and
published in the newspapers of this
county Fraternally submitted.

Letter to McConneIlsburg Goal
Dealers.
McConnellsburg, Pa.

Dear Slrs ; Ifyou could get the
exclusive sale of a coal that would
Give double heat and cost nc
more, you'd jump at it, wouldn 7
you?
You'd control tie trade for a
hundred miles
Devoe is like that among pants;
a short ton is as good as a long
one of any paint you can name: a
gallon is worth more than two of
many popular paint.
Suppose you have painted your
house about once IN three years
ever since it was new; you buy
the same number Of gallons De-
voc, have third OF it left, and it
wears six years. Count your
costs.
Sl.I5 % gallon for paint; SO. so
a gallon for putting 1t on; you
saved 8 gallons; $26. 25 on this job.
But you save the whole job of
three years hence; about $75.
Put 'en together; 500.
Can't reckon so accurately as
that; but you see how it goes
Paint Isn't alike any more than
ccal, How much more is coal
wJrth than 4 slate
Yours truly,
10 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
p. S. F. G. Bare, Fort Little
ton, and }. A. Boyd, Merce s
urg, sell our paint.
