On last Saturday evening John
Romel started with large basket
of eggs for Whites store; as he
went trudging along down Jack
Run, through Alfred Stump's
field, singing "Im Happy on the
Way" it all at once occurred to
John that this is leap year and
that he might meet some damsel
that would say something momen-
tous to him. So John began look
ing for the "Dog star" to see if
the matrimonial sign was all right.
Just as he had about concluded the
sign was o. X. he stepped on a
patch of mighty smooth ice, when
his heels went into the air and 200
pounds of humanity came down
on the ice, and his elbow went
down through the eggs until it
found a resting place in the bot
tom of the basket. John got up
and walked on without looking to
see if he had broken hole in the
ice, but stopped at u neighbours to
examine tne contents of his bas-
ket, when to his unsp eakab BILE grief
he found he had spoiled all but
ten solitary eggs. In disgust John
started back home, swearing by
the great horn-spoon and the
shades of Moses that he would
never carry eggs to store after
dark in the next ten years, and
the leap year proposition is all off.

The Benfit of Advertising.

eff you have thing to sell, ad-
vertise it," That Is the advise of
one of the most successful business
men in the state. A few weeks
ago an effort to sell some land in
South Florida was made in
roundabout way, but without sue
cess. Finally the agent advertised
it literally in the newspapers, and
he asserts that he not only sold the
land, but for considerably more
than he expected or had offered it
for year previous. People who
want TO make purchases do not
know, very often, where they can
be made, and they naturally turn
to the newspapers, - jacksonville,
ella, Metropolis.

At last, the site of the Garden
OF Eden seems to have been located
by our scientists and archie
ologists, us reported in the CO.
lumbus Citizen, of recent date,
and as the report has 1T, the
cradle of the human race stood in
the fertile valley of the pretty
Scioto River at the confluence of
Paint Creek, near the present site
of Chilicothe, Ohio. These two
streams, if the discovery is true,
must have been known by differ
ent names, as the river itself was
in subsequent centuries called by
the Indians, "Sl-on-to." If our
scientists are entitled to presumr-
tive diction, we may claim The
same right, and presume, that
A bel, the first known agri-
culturist raised barley and hops
in the valley and sold it to his
brother, Cain, who had brewery
on the southern hillside, in subse-
quent centuries, owned by Mr..
Wissler, and vet standing, and
that this Cain-Brewery, was the
forbidden fruit, bringing disaster
to the first family, and that per-
haps little too much lager beer,
inhamed the passion of Cain,
resulting In the first fratricide up
on the pages of history. But this
recent discovery is in conflict with
the hypothesis Of w. F. Warren,
President of the Boston Uni
versity, as stated in his book,
paradise Fonud," who claims
that the Garden of Eden was
located in the icy region of the
North Pole, forever guarded by
the Angel, and no human foot has
ever since the expulsion of Adam
and Eve been permitted to pene-
trate its mystery. Yet after all
the research and arguments of this
eminent sch olar, he exclaims at
the close of this book, 'Long lost
Eden is found, but it's gates are
barred from u.s." But happily, Oh,
Human Race, trusty hand has
added to the third Chapter Of
Genesis, the closing chapters of
the Patm os Apocalypse. The
thought of the old forever vanish
ed Eden is henceforth bearable, for
from afar we have caught the
vision of Sinless Eden, the
frostless Garden, the Heavenly |
City of God.
In vain, man has tried to unlock
the archives of remote ages; in
vain has been human enaeavor to
remove the veil of a shrouded
future; and with Sir Isaac Newton
we will exclaim, "But to myself
seem to have been only like
boy playing on the seashore, and
iiverting myself in now and there
finding a smoother pebble or
prettier shell than ordinary, while
the great ocean of truth lay all
before me-" In all
our disappointments we have the

Obituary.

Barbara Fox was born in Hooking
county April "a, 1884, departed
this life at the home of his son,
Ira Fox, Feb. Z, 1908. Aged 73
years, 9 months and 13 days.
He was united in marriage to
Malinda Avis March 81, 1853. To
this union was born 4 children,
sons and 2 daughters, one daugh-
ter having passed to the spirit
world Jan. 1, 1864, and his com
panion Jan. 10, 1904.
Father Fox leaves sons, l
daughter, 4 grandchildren, / great
grandchild, and host of friends
and neighbors to mourn.
But, we sorrow not as they who
have no hope, for in 1850, when a
boy of 15 years, he gave his heart
to God and united with the M. f..
Church under the ministry of Rev.
Andrew Carrel, and for SO years
lived consistent christian life,
always enjoying the service of the
Lord.
He suffered a great affliction in
the last few years, but he never
failed to go to the Lord in prayer,
thanking him for his mercies and
blessings to him.
Father Fox leaves us clear
evidence of his acceptance by the
Heavenly Father, and as he came
near the river he kept shouting
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, the
angels have come for me and / see
all my loved ones on the other
shore" So with shouts of praises
on his lips he crossed over the
River into the beautiful home
above, where sorrow, death and
parting never comes, but all is JOY
peace and love.
In the death of Father Fox the
children lose a kind and loving
parent, the church faithful
member, and the community
good true citizen. While we have
lost friend and neighbor Brother
Fox has gained infinitely more
and we must bow in submission
to the will of Him who knoweth
best and doeth all things well.
AS a result of Affections and
trouble he had become mentally
deranged in the last few months
and had gone to the Athens State
Hospital for treatment. His
physical health began to weaken
from his over-taxed nerves, result
ing in indigestion and organic
heart trouble, which brought on
heart failure which caused his
death. A few days before his
demise his mental condition clear ed
up, his reason was restored and he
became apparently as intelligent
as at any time in life to the joy
and consultations of his relatives
and friends.
Funeral services was conducted
on Sunday following at Bethany
M. Il. Church, conducted by the
pastor, Il. M. Ricketts,, who de-
livered very impressive sermon
to large audience. Interment
in the adjoining cemetery,
