By her devoted husband,
A. r. Heath, and sister, Ella.

In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear beloved husband, John s.
Watson, who departed this life one
year ago to-day, December s, 1907.
SO still, so coldl He is sleeping
While the world is so gay,
His work is done--low sinks the sun
On his low mound of clay
Oh, could open wide his grave
And see his face once more,
And hear his voice, is all crave,
AS in the days of yore.
Thou knowest my life is sad and lone
ly,
Yet I try SO hard to endure the
pain;
Outlines l think my poor hearts
breaking,
To think I'll never see him on earth
again.
Oft | wander to the graveyard,
Flowers to strew with tender care
On the grave of my dear darling,
Who is resting sweetly there.
In memory ofttimes see
The one I loved 80 dear,
The vision grows so clear sometimes
feel he must be near.
My heart is sad and lonely,
My grief too deep to tell,
But l hope the time will come
When | may with him dwell.
Farewell, farewell, my husband, dear,
I've spent one sad and lonely year;
But the memory of your sweet face
Still is fresh within my heart.
BY his loving wife.

On Saturday evening, November
22d, 1908, the angel of death entered
our midst and bore away the sweet
spirit of my beloved wife and our de-
voted sister, Cordie j. Heath, to its
eternal home. She was permitted to
live in a world of sorrow and care, 40
years, 3 months and / week, when
her Lord called her saying, "Child
your Father calls, come home" She
did not fear when passing over the
dark river, for Jesus was there to
comfort and guide her to her peace
full home. On, the sorrow that comes
to our hearts when we remember we
can see her smiling face and hear her
gentle voice no more! Oh, it was hard
to give her up and look upon her
pleasant face and Christian walk no
more, but Jesus being our guide, we
look with an eye of faith through all
the clouds of sorrow and Sadness.
recognizing the hand of our God and
remembering that there will be re-
union, after which will be heard no
parting words. Many hearts were
made sad, yea many were broken, as
we watched her last expiring breath
and no heart could be more crushed
than that of her dear companion,
who was so devoted to her.
Why should we wish her back,
When she suffered so with pain?
She sings in the angels choir to-day,
And with Christ has gone to reign.
Dearest wife and sister, we have laid
thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy Heavenly face.
Thank God, we have the blissful
hope
That again, her dear face we shall
see,
In Heaven be clasped in her arms,
Reunited, forever be.

In sad but loving remembrance OF
my dear father, George w. Bunting,
who departed this life August 10, 1908,
aged 5S years. All was done that
could be done to keep him with US.
For seven months he suffered without
a murmur or complaint. Oh, how
hard it was to stand by his bed day
and night and see Deaths cold hand
passing over himl
Father, dear father, the home is so sad.
Where lately your loved form was
known,
And dreary and lonely and dull the
home,
Where the light of your counten-
aDce shone.
And your voice was once music to
fond loving hearts,
But now it is silent and still,
Oh, sadly we have turned in our sor-
row and pain,
From your grave at the foot OF the
hill
Father, dear father, you have passed
from this life,
To the home of the pure and the
blest,
You have left far behind you the toll
and the strife,
And have entered the mansions of
rest.
But the fond loving lessons and pre-
cepts you taught,
Forever will live in our hearts,
Till we meet you at last on the bright
golden shore,
In the land where we never shall
part.

sullied Virtue as to Source OF Its
Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Specify
'Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re-
publican campaign funds. In the State
of New York Republican Legislature,
In 1905 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers. directors or
stockholders participating In or con-
sentipg to the violation Of the law
should be guilty Of criminal offense.
And know of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity of campaign contributions and
for the prevention OF corrupt practices
than that passed In New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
| promises OF an opposition party seek
ing power, bat enactmenis by a party
In power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, Of coarse. be
given to the patriotic Democrats whs
supported these reforms, but they we're
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also iegisla tod
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity OF elections and free
opportunity for the uncorrupted express
sion Of the popular VIVA liza at the fSnn-
dation Of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
shsuld be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and ACCOUNTING for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections But 1t mast
fairly be recognized that the skirts Of
neither party have been clean. II we
search MIR. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned. and
also those who, if we may judge from
their local activities. are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of Its revenues or

PARTY OF PERFORMANCE.

Republican Organization Fosters All
Policies Tending to Make the
Country Great and
Prosperous
The Republican is a party Of action.
1t rests upon what it has done, and
not upon what it possibly may do in
the future 1t has fOstered everything
that has tended to make the country
great and prosperous. 1t has moved
with the people. 1t has kept abreast
of the times. 1t has ever stood ready
to modify an old policy or to adopt
new one when the business interests OF
the country have needed the modifica-
tion or the change. 1t has protected
American industries. 1t has protected
American labor by stringent immlgra-
ton laws. 1t protected the credit and
business stability of the country by
prompt declaring in favor Of gold
standard, and writing it in the stat
utes. When the time came it prompt
" seized upon the time and the op-
portunity to begin the speedy construc-
tion Of the great isthmian canal. 1t
has never hesitated to assume a re-
sponsibility. When the cruelties in
Cuba threatened the interests of Amer
lea the Republican party resolved to
put an end to those cruelties. When
trusts sprang up it enacted a law to
curb and control those trusts When
commerce was at the mercy Of the
railroads, it provided for commission
to regulate them When shippers were
oppressed by transportation companies
it promptly enacted rate law. 1t has
met every emergency in war or peace,

THE ANSWERS.
The Answer I'm 1908.

The answer is found in the prevail-
ing good prices for grain, corn, hogs,
cattle, hay and all the products
of the farm, together with the
fact that since the date of Can
didate Bryan's crushing speech,
Western farm lands have doubled in
value, and thousands of tenant farm
ers Of that date have become prosper
GUS home-owners, filling their own land
in peace, happiness and plenty. Under
the National Irrigation Act, and the
Republican conservation movement, the
West is soon to be the intense agricuI-
