Death Of John v. Holmes.

John W. Holmes lived an Inconsplc-
nous life, filling a small farm most Of
the time, and ieopardizing the fruits
OF that labor by becoming surety to
whomsoeyer asked him. As a conne-
auence. he and his family often had
10 autfer losses, and whenever ad-
monished against this practice by his
more prudent friends. would always
reply AZ II nothing unusual had hap
pencd. lie was never known 10 have
expressed regret over anything that
occurred in helping others. whatever
the coat may have been to him. He
continued TO give. and to help, until
he had nothing TO give and nothing
wherewith to help. And TO the last,
he was cheerful. and full OF ready
humor for all.
lie was n man without more than
a meagre education, but was highly
endowed with the sense of humor;
and his conversations will long be
remembered by his friends for their
quaint and ludicrous suggestions and
turns. This gift brought TO him many
friends and admirers. and served to
keep up his cheerfulness to the end.
Occupying an humble place In the
world Gas the world would say OF
him). there was no man ever knew
who was less ready TO compromise his
courage or lower his ideals than John
Holmes His courage and his ideals
were both high: and he lived true to
them all his days No mans sense
OF honesty excelled his: and this he
demonstrated by lifelong acts, under
the severest tests. The community
has sustained loss. as we'll as his
family, by the death of such man.
