Obituary.

Miss Clemma May Downs was
born August 18th, 1872, and died
May 81, 1909. She joined the
Baptist church at the age of 10 and
lived a devoted Christian, a SYM
pathizing friend to all who knew
her and a faithful daughter in the
home, having had the responsible
tiles of nursing her father, mother
and three brothers who have
crossed the bold Jordan of death
and were watching and waiting to
greet her when the boatman
anchored he. frail bark on the
sunny banks of sweet deliverance.
Dearest Clemma, we miss thee.
A voice we loved is still. A place
is vacant in our home. But why
should we weep? Her sorrows
are ended and her joys are ever
lasting. BY her life she taught us
patience, virtue and truth. One
by one, her loved ones have been
taken away until Clemma was the
eighth to go. She leaves two
UTOIlSIS. TWO SlSI6IS3 anu u uOSG VI
other relatives. She died happy
and in her last moments sang,
"When we all get to heaven we
will all be happy there" Told
them all "good bye" and fell
asleep in Jesus. "Blessed are they
that die in the Lord and their
works do follow them" 'Tis sad,
indeed, to think that one so noble,
kind and true should be taken
from us but we know that it is
Gods kind hand that has bereft
us. O! that we must live without
the counsel of her lips! We re-
alize that every ounce of gold has
its ounce of dross, that the sorrows
of this life only bring us into a
more sacred nearness with God.
We look forward to that day
when we will all meet around that
Great White Throne and join in
the songs of the redeemed for ever
more. SUE MCWILLIAMS.

The revival meeting closed here
Sunday night, and we T glad to
state that much good was accom-
plished. There were eight or ten
conversions, and many of the
church members appeared to be
very mucn benefited. Quite a
number of people from Cedar
Creek, Caledonia, and Graniteyille
attended the meetings, and the
order during the whole ten OF
twelve days and nights was very
good.
j. M. Hawkins has just returned

Misses Ethel Hawkins and Anna

selves as being we'll pleased with
their visit, and are very enthusi-
astic over the scenery and grandeur

Nearly all of the school districts
in this valley have employed
teachers for the ensuing year.
Miss Omer Moore will teach an
eight months term at Elm Grove;
Miss Lizzie Russell, an eight
months term at Belleview; and
Miss Ethel Hawkins, an eight
months term at Thorn Grove.
We learn of a few districts that
are holding their schools for i'm
ported teachers; that is, for
teachers from adjoining counties.
1t has been the policy of most OF
our former Commissioners to en-
dorse certificates from other coun-
ties only when absolutely neces-
sary to fill vacancies, and we
fully believe that Commissioner
Burnham will adhere strictly to
the policy of his predecessors, in
the matter of endorsement. We
certainly have as good material in
Iron county as can be found in the
adjoining counties; therefore, let
us first see that all of our home
teachers have employment before
the so-called imported teachers
are recognized in this county
that is, unless they pass a rigid
examination along with our own
teachers, thus showing that they
are competent for the position
they seek. AS a rule, the teacher
who has to leave his own county
in order to find a school is gener-
ally, if not always, found to be
wholly incompetent; and if he
knew that his certificate would not
be endorsed, he would get a school
in his own county, or not teach al
all. Moreover, there is not one
letter in the school law giving
county boards of education power
to endorse a certificate. lror
county has competent teachers fol
her own schools; then let US sec
that they have employment before
the lame ducks from other coun'
ties are recognized here.

Bad Novels.

Novels have deteriorated lamenta-

the wildly sensational or the insidious-
ly wicked; incidents that formerly
were named with bated breath being
openly written of and blazoned
abroad, for gain of gold, and too often
by women. 1t is difficult to find a
plain intellectual meal served by the
moderns, who furnish us with little
but cayenne pepper, poisonously
spiced oysters and Gorgonzola cheese

RECOGNIZED the Line.

Two girls were talking over the
phone one afternoon, the subject of
the conversation being a lawn party
to take place the following day. Both
were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
Right in the midst of this "impor-
tant' conversation a masculine voice
interrupted, asking humbly what num-
Der he had. A stern reply that the
wire was busy did not successfully
squelch the inquirer, for he asked
again for the number. One of the
girls now became indignant and with
supreme scorn asked: "What line do
you think you are on, anyhow"
"Well," said the man, I'm not sure,
but judging from what I've heard /
should say l was on a clothes line"

He will never go again.

two men wallop each other until the

sight sickened him.
Then, too, he saw a battle royal CIV

Crown Point. Ind, April 2o.-Peter
Kaiser, jr, figured in a narrow escape
yesterday when he was missed by a
heavy iron door, which was forced
from the hinges in a boiler explosion,
which occurred in the Kaiser wagon
shop. near the Pennsylvania tracks.
The front end of the boiler was blown
out, throwing the contents of the FIRE
box all over the room and setting the
whole place aire at once.
The fire department reported at once
upon being summoned, but by the time
they arrived the workmen in the shop
had the FIRE pretty well under con
troll. The boiler is defective and this
is the second time that a similar ex-
plosion has occurred.
