OBITUARY.

On the evening of the 9sth Of De-
cember 1907, the portals of Heaven
once more were opened to receive the
yielding spirit of little Ollie Sims.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawson Sims. She was nine months
old What great comfort it is to us
when we read the tender words our
dear Saviour spoke in behalf Of little
children. In the 10th chapter of
Mathew, II verse, He SAYS Suffer
little children and forbid them not 10
come unto me- for of such is the king
dom of heaven" Little Olive cometh
forth as flower in this world and in
the evening she has withered away.
Dear father and mother prepare to
meet your darling babe in heaven The
funeral was preached by Rev. Vann
and she was buried in Little Vine
cemetery. To the bereaved parents we
tender our deepest sympathy.
The little flower which lately bloomed
On earth so bright and fair,
Has been removed to that beyond,
And now blooms brightly there
And though our little one is gone,
And life seems sad and drear,
We must remember that our loss
Is gain to Ollie dear.

SbeciaI 10 The Macs.
How many of the readers Of the
News expect TO turn new leaf this
Year, Let us all try and make the new
year better one than the old one was
This is the season Of good cheer, the
season of the holly and mistletoe. the
time for bright faces and the time for
noble resolutions to be born, time for
old animosities to die, a time when the
benevolent side of ones nature should
eclipse the sordid side. A time when
the thoughts should be turned towards
home, A time when the child, with
its golden curls, the man with his sill
vered locks, alike cry. "Glory to God
in the highest peace ON earth, good
will to men. These words have been
chanted by all Christian nations since
the infant Jesus slept in the rude man
ger in Bethlehem. The organs in the
great cathedrals have pealed forth their
words and the hearts of worshiprers
have been filled with alteration
Those treading tiowerless paths Of
poverty echo the praises. The poor
mother in the howell ms she bends over
the smoldering emberS upon the desol-
ate hearth and weeps over the empty
stockings of her neglected children, ev-
en- she hears their strains in the dis
lance, and her plaintive voice, so full
of want, joins in the chorus: GLORY
to God in the highest.
As we are about to let 60 of the old
year, we realize that to most of us it
has been kind year. To few the
dark side has been turned. To others
the the sunny side has appeared We
must not forget that upon the homes
of some of our readers since last
Christmastide, shadow has fallen and
the mantle of sorrow has wrapped the
inmates III its somber folds Other
homes are like the empty nests that
hang on the withered bough--desolate
because the life and song went ont
with the birds New homes have
been made, new ties formed and old
ones severed, but in our onward march
it is not well to stop to measure the
load each one carries. No life is eth
er all sunshine or all storm II the
new year brings prosperity, let us re
joice Let us be thankful that our
lives have fallen in pleasant places.
Let us quickly turn over the sad page
and look at the bright picture that
awaits us. Let us quickly penetrate
anycloud that may float over our path

bad as the day looked
W. G. Douglas, of Hamilton Coun-

where, in all political parties be

sions aud localities.
But Mr.. Everitt does not teach
psople 10 whine. In fact, our Whitney
members aud the Whitney farmers
who constantly cry "can't, can't,
farmers won't stick do us more
injury than our open opponents.
Farmers ought TO be the most indie
pendent people on earth, and all they
have 10 DO 70 make themselves so Is
TO unite and stand together, and quit
demanding" and whining.
Other organizations NEE, and "de-
mand" that the govern ment do thus
and so. This is a mistaken idea.
Some years ago we went 10 a certain
mill and had talk with the miller
We asked him how he sold four,
meal. bran, etc. he gave US bis
prices. We asked him II they we're
not rather high. he said yes, but
people had % live II they came
in and wanted his products for less,
he put his thumbs in his vest arm
holes and told them he did not have
to sell for less. We asked II be
sold for cash, or on credit. He said
he sold for cash. II he told a hun
cry man that the money must come
before the goods left the mill, that
the money would be certain 10 get
there.
This looks a little hard, bat Il
shows that all the farmer has 10 do
is 10 feed the miller, the merchant,
the manufacturer and the politician
out Of their own spoons. and be viii
be the last man 10 find anything to
