you OUGHT TO HAVE S34.59

Washington, June 5.--Treasury
officials figure out that if all the
money in circulation in the United
States were divided equally every
man, woman and child would have
$34.59. This is ID cents per capita
more than they should have had
by the same process of reasoning a
month ago. Compared with a year
ago, there was on June l S14, 000,-
900 more money in circulation, and
yet, strange as it may seem, the
per capita was AZ cents less. This
is due to the increase in population,
it being proportionately more than
the growth of the circulating med
ium. The general stock of money
in the United States on June l was

RESOLUTIONS
May %, 1910

1 -, iOiO
Whereas God in his divine wis
dom has taken from our midst our
beloved superintendent, teacher
and friend, Mr.. Jared A. Jones, we
the members of the old Sunday
School at Hightown church whose
names appear, offer the following
resolutions:
Although our superintendent and
teacher is gone from our midst and
although we feel his loss severely.
yet we bow humbly, submissively
to the hand of Almighty God, know
ing that he "doeth all things we'll !"
believing that our dear friend has
only been taken from this world of
sorrow and pain to be with God in
that happy home to await the gen.
eral resurrection and to await the
coming of all his dear friends who
while here with us he labored so
faithfully that we too might be pre-
pared to meet him there.
Resolved I'd. That in the death
of our dear friend the church has
lost one of its strongest supporters,
the Sunday School one of the best
of superintendent and teachers,
the wife has lost an ideal husband,
the children a kind and loving
father, and the community one of
it's best friends and most valued
christian gentlemen.
Resolved Sd. That we extend
to the bereaved family our heart
felt sympathy, and in this hour of
great sorrow we commend them to
God who alone is able to comfort
and sustain every one who will be-
lieve on his name.
Resolved 4th. That copy of
these resolutions be sent to the be-
reaved family, copy sent to the
Highland Recorder, and a copy
left with the secretary of this meet
ting.
