MUCH NEEDED CONVENIENCE,
Telephone Has Been Placed in Un-
ion Passenger Depot, And Travel
ing Public Is Delighted.

y telephone has been placed in the
union passenger depot at Newberry,
much to the delight of the travelling
public. Heretofore it has been impos-
sible. to learn how the passenger trains
were running without going to the
depot and making inquiry, even if Il
train were several hours late. The mat
ter was called to the attention of the
railroads. with the result that YES
'erday Il telephone was placed in the
depot. The number is 235.
Mr.. RpbinSon, the union ticket
agent, is always polite and accom-
m"datiny. and always willing to an
Swrr inquiries in regard to trains.
The telephone which has been plac-
cd in the depot is convenience
which has long been needed.

Foreign Vessels.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
For the first time in the history of
the city a steamer flying the flag
OF foreign country tied to the bank
in the port Of Cincinnati last Satur-
day. She was bound for the Gulf of
Mexico and thence across its waters
to the inland waterways Of the re-
public Of Mexico. Built at Pittsburg,
unique in appearance a three deck
or, graceful in outline and flying
light, the Clara Ramos dipped her
flag in salute to the flag of the Unit
ed States flying from the array of
steamers at the wharf and was salut-
ed in turn.
1t was an interesting incident in
the history of the port of Cincinnati
and is a suggester Of great possibili-
ties. While the Clara Ramos gave
the Cincinnatians the first sight Of a
foreign flag in port, Cincinnati in the
olden times built ships which have
sailed down the Ohio and the Missis-
s'ppi and crossed the ocean to Liver
pool and to other ports. They engaged
and continued in the ocean carrying
trade long before the days Of steam
in ocean navigtion and when Jack Tar
was not only picturesque but. nec-
essary attachment to trade and COM
merce between the United States and
foreign countries. In Cist's "fNs-
tory of Cincinnati" the following in
teresting statement is given from the
Liverpool Times Of January 80, 1845:
"We have received a file Of Gin
cinnati papers brought by the first
vessel that ever cleared at that port
for Europe. The building Of vessel
Of $50 tons-the Muskingum--on a
river 1,700 miles from the sea, in it.
self, a very remarkable circumstance,
both as a proof Of tho magnificence
Of the American rivers and the spirit
Of the American people. The naviga-
ting Of such vessel down the Ohio and
Mississippi and then across the At
lantic would few years ago have
been thought impossible. She brings
a cargo Of provisions, and VT trust
that the success of this first venture
will be such as to encourage its fire.

His Best Friend.

The following incident, which oc-
cured at Great Falls, Montana, last
spring, is given in the Pioneer Press {:
"The victims of the recent bliz-
zard that swept over the northern por-
tion of that state, killing thousands
of lambs and number of cattle, are
now being found with the passing Of
the snow. In nearly every case the
victims were sheep-herders who were
caught in the storm and frozen to
death before they could reach shell
ter.
Zone Of the most pathetic cases
that has come to light is that of Will
liam Plumber, an aged man, whose
sole friend, so far rs known, was a
handsome shepherd dog which he had
raised from puppy. This dog could
do almost every thing except talk.
When Shep, as he was called, drag
ged himself into the little sheep town
Of Shelby, with two Of his legs froz-
en-, the fate of Plumber was known.
1t was useless to prosecute search
for him without the aid Of the dog,
and as the animal was, apparently,
too disabled to make another move,
it was proposed to wait several days
before searching for the body of the
missing man.
"'Shep, in spite Of his conditions,
was ready to lead the party, however,
and although the progress was slow
and painful over the snow-covered
hills and valleys, the faithful dog led
the party to the body Of his master.
Crouching beside the frozen corpse,
the dog, worn almost TO shadow by
hardships he had undergone, uttered
long, penetrating wall, and then,
licking the cold face Of his master,
expired, Plumber and the dog were
buried in the same grave. ."-Amer-
lean Sheep Breeder.

In Memory of Little Willie Edward


Willie Edward the SON of Mr. and
Mrs. John Cousins died June 3, 1907,
he was 3 years 3 months and 6 DAYS
OLD. For one so young he was bright
light i'll that home, how his willing
little hand is missed and the prattle
CT his little footsteps is not heard any
more. He has left this blighted lana
where the flowers soon fade for the
one that blooms forever.
Today he sits and sings with the
little angel band, how his parents
miss his little foot steps that follow
ed after them. Weep not dear parents,
weep not, for the Lord has said, suf-
fer little children to come unto ME,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
The little hands are folded,
And closed the loving eyes,
but the happy soul is singing
In the gates of Paradise
Look up, all toiling comrades,
E'en though with tear-dimmed eyes.
We, too, have child-souls singing
In the joy Of Paradise.
Let us hear this music ever
Far above earth's sacrifice,
Till we join the children singing,
In the peace Of Paradise!
From one that loved him.
