Gone Home.

Once more the dread angel Of death
has been among US to take a fair
sweet flower from our side. Feb. 2nd,
at 1890 p. M, death visited the home
of Mr.. J. B. Weaver and bore away In
his icy arms the sweet form Of Min
ME, the second daughter. Minnie had
only been sick but five days, and no
one thought her dangerous, until q
few moments previous to her death.
Minnie Maud Weaver was born
Sept. 0, 1889. A sweeter daughter, q
more effectionate sister or dearer
friend, never lived than our dear
Minnie.
She was loved by all who knew her,
the idol Of the family, but God saw
fit to call her to his mansion above,
and we must submit to his call. But
Obi SO hard TO give up one we love SO
well, and Just Id the bloom of life.
How she will be missed by those young
friends with whom she associated, by
her older friends, her school mates
and teacher, who loved her so dearly,
and words cannot express how she
will be missed in the family circle.
Heavenly Father their sorrow is sore,
Weeping for one who will weep no
more,
Watt them sweet dreams of the blessed
above,
Tell them that God is the Father Of
Love.
Minnie leaves a father, mother, two
brothers, and one sister, to mourn her
loss. After a beautiful service by Rev.
Mr.. Cobb, her body was tenderly laid
10 rest In the Mexico cemetery to
to await the resurrection morn.
We have given up our treasure
And the angels have her now,
When no shade o. pain or sorrow,
Comes to cloud our darlings brow.
And though In life we will meet no
more, as in The happy past.
Wen bless those happy days Of yore,
while life and time shall last.
Beyond the reach Of care and pain,
Beyond times dark staring bellows
swell,
Above lifes clouds we'll meet again,
Till ~then-sweet Minnie, farewell.

fHEIR TROUBLES AsOUrREDED.
AFTER Several Attempts Young Man
Obtains Possession Of His Wife.

On November 18th. 1904, Mr.. Styl-
vester King, a barber then ln bust
ness in Montgomery City, secured the
proper license and brought Miss Fran
ces sJarboe from her home neal Ga
zette, Pike county, TO MiddIetown and
was united 10 marriage to her by Ed.
w. ]. Hardesty. Miss Jarboe's par
ents we're away from home for the day;
and ON returning that evening and
finding the newly-wedded pair there
possibly expecting parental forgiv-
e~ness-theY got busy In an unexpected
direction. They took charge OF the
bride. and forbade the groom the pre-
misses, He had no alternative but to
go. During the past three years, be
made several attempts to obtain pos
session Of his wife--who was OF legal
age--but each attempt proved a fall
ure. Thus matters stood until one day
last week, when attorney P. II. Gull
len, OF Mexico, appeared on the Jarboe
horizon and demanded not only the
wife but legal damages as we'll. This
put a new and much uglier face on
the matter, and the brides father i'm
mediately hied himself to Bowling
Green for legal advice. He got 1t, and
it is said the eist OF 1t was to immed-
lately give possession OF the bride 20
her husband, as a PARTIAL remendIng
OF bis mistake, and then to seek a
compromise With attorney cullen. Ar
irving home, the telephone was put to
into service In an effort to locate the
groom. This was affected, and he was
requested to appear at once at the
parental home on important business.
This he did, and a committee of three
neIghbors was appointed to adjust
matters between the parties.
After much wrangling between the
parties interested, this was effected.
but without 10 the least Changing or
affecting the case brought in court by
Attorney Cullen. Tbs Is to be an
after consideration, and will be sub
jet to the will OF Mr. Cullen only.
One OF the peculiar phases
Of the case is that some of the brides
uncles are said to be aiding and abet-
ting the groom in his efforts, not
only morally, but financially, and IL
this is true, they will make a formid-
able combination to go up against.
Since the partial adjustment OF affairs
the reunited bride and groom have
been visiting wittr~the BRIDES rela-
lives In the ne~ighborhood Of Gazstte
and possibly awaiting a complete and
final settlement OF the trouble. The
editor Of this paper has known Mr..
King slightly for several years, and
has always considered him a young
man OF excellent habits, and hopes
that this unfortunate trouble may be
amicably and satisfactory to
all Observation-Disclosures Chips.

MANNED, the lame, the blind"
The work Of helping the needy and
relieving the poor presents a task,
which is often very p~erplexing, II 1t is
undertaken wisely and conscientious
ly. 1t is easy enough to hand out q
dime OF a dollar to silence the impor-
tunity Of a persistent beggar, but that
may not be charity at all, but precise
ly the contrary. AS a rule, no money
should ever be simply handed to an
unknown supplicant. 1t is almost
certain to be wasted, and commonly
worse than wasted. In one Of the
Oldest books in the world, the book OF
Job, that wise man referring to bis
charities says, "the cause that knew
not, | searched out" That rule should
be inyariable. But most people have
not the time or opportunity n do
this, and hence the usefulness OF such
so organization as the Associated
Charities.
