Miss Rachel PearlG Hardee.

On the bright Sabbath of May
9th, while relatives and friends
gathered around her bedside, the
soul of Rachel Pearle Hardee took it's
I flight upward to join the angels of
God. She was the only child and
beloved daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Junius Hardee, and was loved and
honored by all who knew her.
Since childhood Christ has been
! her personal Saviour, and she has
been a living example for others to
follow. There was no one too hum
BILE for her to administer to when
sick or in want.
We cannot see why God in his
wisdom should pluck from us the
flower of our hearts when in full
bloom, but He doeth all things
WE'LL" and it is not for US to ques-
ton the works Of our Heavenly
Father, but to so live that when at
last our race is run we may meet in
heaven our loved one who has gone
before.
The burial services were read on
Monday evening by Rev. Holden.
The sweet song Nearer My God
to Thee" was softly sung by the
ladies. Then Rev. J. E. Holden Of
fered prayer for the bereaved par
ents, relatives and friends.
While the ladies softly sang Good
Night the remains were placed in
the hearse and the sad procession
started for the family burying
ground on the plantation of Mr.. J.
w. Hardee, an uncle of the deceas-
ed.
There was q large gathering at
the grave, and while Rev. j. E. Hol-
den concluded the burial service the
ladies sang my Faith Looks up to
Thee" Scores Of men, women and
children, both white and colored
wept as if their hearts would break.
The grave was completely covered
with beautiful flowers Of every de-
scription.
The deceased leaves a mother,
father, adopted brother and three
uncles, Messsrs. J. W., D. w. and
w. j. Hardee.
The bereaved parents, relatives,
and friends should be consoled with
the thought that their loved one is
not dead, but gone before to be there
to greet them On that beautiful shore
when they, too, have crossed the
river of death.
"Out of the shadow land, into the
sunshine
Cloudless, eternal, that fades not
away;
Softly and tenderly Jesus hath called
her
Home where the ransomed are
gathered today.
Out of the shadow land, weary and
changeful.
Out Of the valley Of sorrow and
night,
Into the rest of life everlasting,
Into the summer of endless de-
light.
Out of the shadow land, over life's
ocean
Into the rapture and joy of the
Lord.
Safe in the Fathers house, welcom-
ed by angels.
Here's the bright crown and eter-
nal reward.
For silently, peacefully, angels have
borne her
Into the beautiful mansions above;
There shall she rest from earth's toll

Street Railway CO. will not Daily
with Whiting Council

Manager H. C. Green of the Ham
mond, Whiting & East Chicago
Electric Railway company, has sent
a letter to Mr.. George W. Jones, city
clerk of the City of Whiting, in which
he asks that the franchise, which
this company has had before that
body for several months, be with
drawn.
This is very unexpected move
on the part of the local street rail-
way company and indicates that it
does not believe the present city
council will give it very much con-
sideration.
The following is the letter which
Manager Green has sent to the Whit
ing city clerk. Mayor Smith has not
yet vetoed the Castleman franchise,
but will be compelled to do so either
today or Friday If he acts within the
time prescribed by law:

Dear Sir:-The Hammond, Whiting

pany respectfully request the permis-
sion of the mayor and common council
of the city of Whiting, Ind. to hereby
withdraw the ordinance which the
Hammond company presented to your
honorable body for consideration on
May 18th. 1909.
The ordinance was introduced early
last spring, with the expectation that
the same would be passed early last
summer and permit the Hammond com-
pany to carry out its obligation to con-
struct new tracks and pavement on One
Hundred and Nineteenth street. Schrage
avenue and Indiana boulevard during
the summer season, which street i'm
provements are greatly desired by the
citizens of Whiting
AS the ordinance has been pending
before your honorable body for six
months without amendment or action
and the winter season has now set in.
making it impossible to construction
new tracks and pavement on said street
before next spring it seems desirable
to withdraw the ordinance.

year will be one Of thanksgiving, Of
feasting, rest and recreation. The
weather promises to be fair and the
out-of-tcwn visitors may rest reasona-
bly, sure that their holiday will not be
spoiled by bad weather.
In reviewing the past year Hammond
finds that it has many things to be
thankful for, especially when consid-
cred In the light that things might
have been much worse The municipal
election is over for one thing and there
is some satisfaction that the price of
milk, which viii be cents a quart
after Dec. /. has not been raised to
10 cents instead.
Hammond looks forward toward
Thanksgiving day with a good deal of
expectation. The day is generally rec
ognized as a holiday. Business places
Will be closed for the day and the
stores kept open this evening For the
truly thankful there will be religious
services tomorrow forenoon. Union ser
vices win be held at the Presbyterian
church at 1880 a. m. The regular
daily masses will be said at the Catho-
lie churches and services will be held
at $50 and . o'clock at St. Paurs
