About 25 persons took part in the

audience, considerable amusement was
created by those represeting the var
ious characters.
Doctor A. Wilberforee Williams. was
the depot master, and he was on to
his job at all times, and manv Of the
ladies were cruel enough to whisper
it around among themselves that they
thought he was getting ready to en-:
gage in the railroad business.
The whole performance was very
good and considerable talent along drs-
matte lines was displayed at all times.
Dancing followed, and about SIS, over
and above all expenses, was realized
for the Old Folks Home.
It was a very pleasant affair and
Mrs. A. WiIberforee Williams and the
other ladies composing the Woman s
Aid deserve much credit for the sue

THERE Is NO FUTURE LIFE.

Even superstitionists sometimes
have doubts about a future life Think
Of the sorrow the show wnen death
robs them Of some one near and dear.
They exhibit the same signs Of grief
as those who know that there is no
life to come. Are We not forced to
conclude that they do not believe
what they profess with their lips, or
that the promises Of superstition fail
while they are most neededI
II superstitionists really believe
that their dead friends have gone
from suffering to an eternal happi-
ness, which they themselves hope at
some time to snare, stead Of weep
ing, they should rejoice. But the hu-
manity Of their hearts bellies the su-
perstition of their heads. Death
Ends All. There is no gainsaying
this great scientific discovery that
death ends life forever. TINS I'm
