and included the machinery for wood

Ii is expected that the equipment and
furnishings will last for many years and
the interest and bene fit to the young peo-
pie be of lncalcuable value. A large
item this year was caused by the renewal
of the three year insurance policies, and
amounted to S44o, and for the sidewalk

The general levy was made - mills to

The treasurer's statement shows that
there will be a sufficient amount in the
redemption fund this year to cancel one
bond of the ineble dness contracted in

on the Cecil claim, from which point

deep. The lower workings are believed
to be caved in and have not been acces-
sible for ten years. Mr.. Fisher is putting

lies broken at the fountain" for th'
ship that hailed ours in the voyage O.
life has loosed from its moorings anC
the Great Pilot Himself has steereG

made with hands.
Julia A, Howard was born in
Mottville, N. Y, August %, 1846
She moved with her parents to Stew
entown, N. Y, when she was seven
years of age, and united with the
Presbyterian church at that time.
On July 4, 1865, she married Hen
ry Benjamin and came to the vicinity
of Laclede in 1870, uniting with the
M. E. church. Five children came
to bless this union, one of whom,
Bertha, departed this life in 1887.
The deceased was always of a frail,
sensitive temperament, but not until
consumption fastened itself upon her
did she give up her duties in the
house of God. Months has she lain
submissive and suffering upon her
pillow, each sun finding the face lit
tie more drawn, the hands a little
more feeble.
How in these moments has her
mind dwelt triumphantly upon the
prospect of new inheritance and a
longing to be with those companions
Of her maiden years who had passed
into the Glory World!
So after waiting, listening for weeks
for the welcome call, the summons
came softly, sweetly, early on Sabbath
morning, April 81, just IS the sun
arose, bathing hill and valley in its
rays, and the spirit, loosed from the
poor, tired body, ans ~ered the roll

Knights and Ladies Of Security Adopt a Glass.
Last Saturday evening, April 21, a
gay company of Knights and Ladies
of Security met at Odd Fellows hall
and enjoyed very pleasant time.
Brookfeld council sent over team,
twenty-five or more, which, with the
Laclede team, proceeded to initiate a
good class of candidates, after which
they proceeded to put on someof the
finest floor that your scribe has
ever seen. Brookfeld certainly has a
tain Barnett to hold the ribbons they
are simply immense. After the drill
Laclede council furnished light re-
freshments galore. Then the fun be-
gan. We have seen youngsters have
fun, but old grey-heads, bald-heads
youngsters, everybody-even John

was taken to Saturday, April q, when
another class will be taken through
the work. SIR KNIGHT.
