George NJ. Milford.

On March ) 1910 at 9 O'Clock
there was stiffness in the home of
George Nj Milford; it was when
the angel came to the bedside of
Bro Milford, saying to him come
We apart into an heavenly place
end rest awhile. Then came
death with all it's sharpness Gu
ting one by one the cords of lite
that bound him to his home, loos
ening from his sufferance that he
might go to that rest. Bro Mil
ford was born in Marshal county,
Alabama Feb 10 1885. He was
married to Miss Nancy Tennison
Dec FL 1864 There were born to
this noble man and wife, four chill
dren, all girls, all living. He
joined the Methodist church the
25th of August 1904, for which
cause he stood as a rock, firm, I'M
shaken by any thing that was not
OF Christ. He loyed his church;
he loved his God. 1t is useless
for me to say he was Il good man,
for his testimony that now lives,
though he be dead, his neighbors,
friends and comrades viii all say
he was noble man. He served
in the Confederate Army in the
Goth Miss regiment Co A. Bro
Milford was steady many in all
his ways, he was a satisfied man.
He loved his home. for he lived
where he died most all his life.
He told me that he could say more
than most men on one thing, that
is he never worked on but one di-
vision of public road in his life.
Was he not contented? 1t is sad
to give him up, just like all, he
must go. can only say to all
who loved him, if you wish to
grasp his hand again, live the life
he lived, you can go to him, but
he cannot come to you.
For he has gone to be with Jesus,
In that home SO bright and fair
Where no parting words are spok-
en-,
And we should all meet him
there. .
We hope to meet in yon bright
mansion,
What a meeting that will be!
There to dwell with George forev-

Questionable Benefit Of Baths.

The French comedian, Perlet, was
extraordinarily thin. At last he be
came such a skeleton that he con
suited a physician, who recommended

to the mineral springs, where he

ttence," urged the doctor; there is
nothing like our baths for making peo-
pie fat" One day, while Perlet was
waiting philosophically in his bath
for an embonpoint which never came,
he heard a conversation in the next
room, from which his own was d.
vided by only a thin partition. and
which was occupied by an enormous
woman, fat as the Hottentot Venus.

BIRD HANGS ITSELF
Tires of Life When Singing Mate Dies
and Proceeds to Commit
Suicide.

Seaford, Del.-Grieving over the
death of another bird, which hat
been its singing mate for over two
years, a canary owned by Mrs. Mar
tin Hammond, who lives near here
committed suicide by hanging itself in
the top of its cage.
The little bird had made several at
tempts to end it's life. but was always
discovered in time It's method was
to fly to the top of the cage and push
its head between the metal bars and
then drop its feet
Thinking the little songster had
grown tired of confinement. the tSgt
door was opened, but tl1e bird refused
to come out and afterward would mot
eat
Its last attempt to end all was not
discovered until too late to save its
life. The canary was a beautiful
songster.
