WILLIAM H. CUNNINGHAM de-
parted this life at the home of his
son, George, in Miami, July 8, 1909.
He had been in Kansas for visit
and returned five weeks ago feel
ing very badly and three weeks
ago became so weak with lung trou
BILE that he was compelled to stay
in his bed. He coughed a great
deal but never suffered much pain
but grew weaker and his body be-
came more emaciated each day un-
til the vital spark went out. Mr..
Cunningham was born June 19, 1S41,
in Salvisa, KY, and was aged 68
years and 20 days. He was married
in 1857, February 7th, to Miss Sarah
E. Nelson of KY. She preceded him
TO the grave April 6, 1908, aged 81
years. Five children were born to
this union as follows, George F., Ed
ward ", William H., Mrs. Mary r.
Walker and Mrs. Lula S. Burns. 1t
was the privilege of these chill
dren and widowed sister, Mrs.
Nelson to be at his bedside in his
last hours. Mr.. Cunningham NOV
ed to Saline county from KY, in
1871 and with the exception OF about
two years at Frankfort, he has
lived in or near Miami for about 3s
years. He was a member of the
Christian church in Miami. Truly
q good man has gone and left his
near ones with sad hearts but his in
iluence like an ever widening circle
reaches beyond the grave. He was
q great favorite among the young
folks and they will ever remember
the merry twinkle OF his eye and
the pleasant smiling face their old
friend had for them when they met
In short the whole community
mourns over the loss of good citi-
zen whose memory shall live when
all that Is mortal of him shall per-
ish.
oh not the Spirit sleeps
But as the way-worn pilgrim shuts
his eyes
Christ gently whispers to his dying
spirit:
"To-day lis Paradise"

Small town people sometimes fall
into the habit OF running down
their own, place in conversation,
This is almost as bad as saying you
wiuh you had married another wo-
man. But you'll never have anoth-

til you improve the one you're in
so that you'll love it for it's own
sake. Be kind to your place and

PREMIER BRAND
 DEFENDS SCHOOL SAYS THAT THE WAR ON THE SCHOOLS COULD NOT BE
 COMPROMISED.
Briand States That Bishops Would Soon Rather Do Their Duty to
 France Tran the Church.

Paris, Nov. 26.--In the chamber of deputies today Premier Briand made reply to @ speech of Abbe Gayraud, member for Finistere, who had de- tended the action of the episcopate concerning the public school question and voiced the sympathy of Catholics for the pope.
 M. Brian said the time was rapidly approaching when. as had several times been the case in French history, bishops and priests bound to the dom inatlon of Rome. would prefer to do their duty as Frenchmen rather than their duty as Catholics.
 You are being forced into an at titude which has become so harmful to this country at home and abroad that your consciences as Frenchmen should speak louder than you cun- sciences as Catholics
 The premier declared warfare seems to be essential with some ps J. pie. It is now war of the schools.
 You speak of the possibility of ar irving at a peaceful compromise. but do you think the present attitude of the Catholic leaders is conducive to this eni?"
