Our Cousin.

In memory of our cousin, Rolling
Murrell, who died Dec. 4, 1908:
Farewell, dear Rolling, but not forever.
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no more
On the resurrection morn.
Though thy darling form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our numbers,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet, again, we hope to. meet thee
When the days of life are fled,
And in heaven, with joy to greet three
Where no farewell tears are shed.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
Where love has bound the heart
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In thy peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
Till We see thy heavenly face.
Earth has lost its look of gladness,

An Awful Event.

Editor News:
The only bad event that Elida
n. M. has on record is the awful
thing that happened in Roach
and Fitzpatrick S store a few eve
nings ago.
1t was an awful event and no
one knows what the result will
be. Even now emigrants still
throng to Elida, to hear the story
interpreted.
No one thinks that Elida or
even New MeXico's people will
ever be found guilty of such a
thing again, for the cause is
greater than the result.
TWAS growing near dusk when
the city was alarmed by a loud
scream. When upon approach
ing the store they found it was
two Kentuckians fighting, and
when asked what caused it, one
of the men, bleeding, tried to ex-
plain, but before he could finish
it they were knocking again.
The next thing for the people
to do was to separate them and
keep them from fighting. After
many attempts to separate them
by three common New Mexico
men, they succeeded in doing so.
When the people. found out
what they were fighting about it
was something like this: Two
men, one who lived eight miles
east of Elida and another who
lived ten miles south of Elida
got to disputing about which
could beat in raising corn on their
farm.
This is the only time a fight
ever came up over what is raised
in New Mexico, and has gave
the country around Elida a great
BOOM to think there was
enough raised to fight over.

Since the spirit of dear Rolling
Took its happy homeward flight.
And we long to cross the river,
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know and love him
With the Savior ever more.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining band,
And so He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.

Death Of Old Citizen.

Rice Medaris was born near
Columbia, Kentucky, March %,
1917, and died at his home on
East Grant Street in this city at
$50 p. m. Saturday, November
20, 1908, aged 81 years, s months
and 6 days. When a young man
he moved to Pike county, ILL
nois, and was married to Mary
Cole March Ii, 1916. To this
union were born eight children,
four boys and four girls.
One son died in infancy and
another son, Samuel Medaris,

ment, ILL.,, w. A. Medaris, our

Plat county in 1866 and to
Monticello in 1880. He cast his
first vote for president in 1910
and never missed presidential
election in his life. He identi-
fled himself with the democratic
party but was broad minded and
liberal in his views and endeav-
ed to inculate the same generous
and charitable principles in his
chileren. He united with the M.
E. Church in Pike county, Hi
nois, while he lived in that
county and remained a consist
ent member of the church the
remainder of his life. A short
time prior to his death he ex-
pressed himself as entirely salts
fled with the faith he had pro-
fessed and declared himself will
ing and ready for The Better
World. He Was a man who en-
joyed good health and was al
ways at work or doing some
thing useful for some one until
extreme old age came upon him.
He was a pleasant and agreeable
conversationalist, and enjoyed
the society and companionship
of his family and friends. He
has left d host of friends to
sympathize with his loved ones,
who can say in the language of
the Apostle Paul, He has fought
a good fight; he has kept the
Faith, and has justly earned an
inheritance promised the child
rem of God. Monticello, Ill,

FOR PIMPLES. TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles Overnight.

A few months ago the dispensers of posiam. the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the drug gists of the country to handle it.. Previous to that time it could only be obtained direct from the labora- tories.
 Since this change in the method of distribution. poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything introduced to the drug trade in the last 30 years. All leading druggists. including Lee & Osgood and Smiths Drug Store in Norwich. are now car rying the special 50-cent size recently adopted, also the $2 jar
 This great success Is not surprising when it is remembered that, in ecze- ma cases, poslam stops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal inn mediately. and cures chronic cases in few weeks. In minor skin troubles, such as pimples blackheads, acne, herpes. blotches, rash, etc., results show after an overnight application. Experimental samples of poslam are sent to anyone by mail free of charge, by the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty fifth Street, New York City.
 Poslam is also on sale in Putnam at Larue's; in Danielson at Woodward's; i; and in Willimantic at Chesebros.

Committee FavOrs Appropriations.
No Opposition and Sums of $5,OO0 for Celebration and $3,OOO for Reliance Company Will Be Legalized- Milk Inspectors salary.

Hartford, March 4.-Attorney Amos A. Browning. F. A. Tracy and Repre- sentative Tibbits appeared before the committee on cities and boroughs this afternoon in support of the measure by which the vote of the town meeting in Norwich to appropriate $3,0OO for the reimb1rsing of the Reliance Worsted company, in the matter of their taxes, and the other vote. by which the town would appropriate $5,00O for the cele- bration of the 250th anniversary of its founding, if the legislature would give it the right, are validated.
 The situation in which the Reliance company and the town found them selves by reason of the death of Presi- dent Hall of the New Haven road, after certain arrangements as to taxation had been made between him and the town officials, was explained to the committee, and the particulars regard ing the appropriation for the celebra- tion were made plain. It was stated to the committee that the reason the town came to the legislature was that there was no right in existence by which 1t could vote these appropriations.
 In executive session later on in the afternoon the committee took up these matters and voted to report favorably
