Sadie Becker was as happy as a little
humm!ng bird when she went to the
City Clerks office on May i6 last with
Abraham Hoffman. who had been her
sweetheart for nine years, to get a mar
rage license.
Her faith in him was so great. she
says. that when he told her he wanted
to buy her a fine ring but didn't have
much money she agreed TO provide the
funds.
After procuring the license they went
10 a bank and Sadie drew $50. which
she save MIN.
That was the last she saw OF him I'M

sister. Mrs. Dina Meyer. who lives with
her at No. 1ii6 Stebblns avenue. the
Bronx. found him walking through
Stuyvesant Park on his way to work
IN the American Bank Note Company.

10 suddenly that his hat fell from his
head. The girl grabbed the hat as he
started to run She and her sister took
up the chase. Policeman Heistcrhagen
OF the East T~wenty-second street sta
tlon was attracted by the screams Of the
two women who had pursued Hoffman
around III. entire square OF the park

JOSH BEECH.

The remains of Josh Beech were
brought in on Mondays train from
Jackson or rather from one of the
States Farms where be had died
the day before OF Dysehtery. Josh
Beech had very unenviable record
in this and adjoining counties in
this state and Alabama but was H.
nally apprehended and sent to the
Penitentiary for his misdeeds. The
way OF the transeressor is hard, as
says the Scriptures, and so proved
in his case at last. We trust that
the proper lesson will be accepted by
the younger generation from this
case under their observation, and
that in years to come, the namt
Beech may yet be one which will
mean good sturdy, honored citizen
shin.

A. A. MCLEOD: For Sheriff & T. C.

The Sheriff race this year seems
to have appealed strongly to the

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. j. Mcleod who
dwell down there.

far as we know and we have known

a person who is striving to perform

will if elected make the tax collecting
round OF the county, and further
promises that if given the position
he will discharge it's duties to the
very best of his ability. Time and

of good feelings aud no more words

A woman who is capable of filling
her home in every sense of the word
is worthy of more true applause than
it she possessed many accomplish
ments. We are often very much i'm
pressed by the woman who is doing
a great and grand work for humani
ty, but the one who retains our re-
spect is the true wife and mother,
who presdes over her home and
children with beart and head, dem
onstrating kindness and ability,
which puts the blush on the public
life. Let the parents, the father as
we'll as the mother, impress upon
their young daughters, whether they
are in the country school house or
college, that the true woman S sphere
is ia the home, ard the great bust
ness and educational worlds that
have thrown wide open the doors for
woman does not detract one iota
from the Importance OF her sphere.
MANY soldier who bravely stood
at his post of duty for two or three
years during our Civil War, is cover
ed with badges. We would not take
one from him. he merits them; but
many an Ordinary woman has
stood at her post Of duty for thirty
forty and even half a century fight
ing with sickness, poverty and dis.
enlargement. and with true Spartan
courage kept the wolf from the door
and saved the lives of large family
of children. The man who saves one
life receives a prize for bravery, his
picture appears in the metropolitan
papers and he wears medal whis .
saws to the world he was brave. And
he was. But the woman who has
saved the lives of many is given nc
badge, and seldom ever q word o.
commentator. These ordinary VIC.
men may not receive a Carnegie
badge for bravery, but He who marks
| the sparrow's fall will certainly re
| serve for them the brightest jeweleS
