Brown And Conley In Their Home County

From the Preston News, a Progressive
Republican paper published in the home
county of Attorney General Conley and
Congressman VIM G. Brown, we
take the following excerpts:
IF General Conley wants to be the
real man he would have Us believe he is,
he will atonce telegraph congratulations
to his conquerer, Congressman VIM. G
Brown, of Kingwood, Preston County,
w. Va"
The recount of the Congressional
vote for Preston county as demanded by
General Conley reveals the fact til at Mr..
Brown has carried the county by 1888.
This is gain of 80 over what the friends
of Mr.. Brown had heretofore clai med
1t might be well TO re, count"

A Little Chap

Can give more annoyance than
a serious injury. There are months
of discomfort ahead, due to chap
ping and roughening of the skin,
unless you have a perfect remedy
at hand. The one we think perfect
is Rexall Cream OF Almond. If
you think otherwise after testing it,
come back and get your money.
What will actually happen will be
that you will always keep it on hand.

A beautiful and deserved compli-
ment was paid Mrs. Clara Holbert,
past matron of the Magnolia Chap

Out i'm the Cemeteries.

How beautiful it is, this silent
march of spring in the cemeteries.
The daisies have come by millions,
and their message of gladness is in
the air; we feel it, but do not hear
it; only those tree choristers, the
birds, are noisy with their singing.
1t is quiet, but for these woodland
the blessed dead are
there, and we go in and out, feeling
that death is not the most of hu-
man woes, for only through death
shall we have life everlasting. Some
have gone before, and some will
come after, God will gather his own
into his fold.
1t is so quiet out in the ceme-
teries, vision seems illimitable, for
it is there, in the eternal calm, that
man can find himself. In the bios
soming bush, in the velvet turf, in
the majestic trees, we feel and know
that God is near; that I'VE stand
amid the eternal ways" for he has
ordered everything. So shall We
come to look at the world with
clearer vision.

and appreciation animated every
one. and the potent charm of music
flOated in the air.

cious and hispitable. Delicious re-
freshments were served.

Of Interest
**** By m. +. ". ***$

It is Easter, the glory of spring
blossoming fills the land with fra
GRANGE and beauty, white and pink
orchards and singing birds. 1t is
Easter, and the soul is satisfied.
Whatever of heaviness has weighed
us down is lifted, the mystey and
meaning of life seems clearer, God
seems nearer. He has decked the
earth with beauty and spread out
the heavens like scroll, and the
light of the stars is like the light of
the City of God.
1t is Easter, and though hopes and
ambitions and dreams have failed,
they will come again, even as the
flowers come after the long cold
winter has passed. Today the
churches, Gods temples, are filled
with kneeling Worshippers and the
soul is satisfied.
The organ peals forth its melody
and the choirs sing praise for the
hope of humanity is in the risen
Lord.
Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing ye heavens and earth reply.
Loves redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight the victory won;
Jesus agony is DER,
Darkness wells the earth no more.
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids him rise,
Christ hath opened Paradise.
Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted head;
Made like him, like him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Hope.

There was no grave on earth's broad
chart,
But has some bird to cheer it:
SO hope sings on in every breast
Although one may not hear it.
And if yesterday the heavy wing
OF sorrow was depressing,
Perchance the Easter sun may bring
The weary heart blessing.
