Funeral Address.
Ed. S. Lotion of the Elks gave this
touching and appropriate funeral ad.
dress on the life and character Of the
departed brother whose death they
la,nented.
The journey Of life lies through the
dark valley of the shadow of death.
There is no spot on It's pilgrimage
where its presence is unknown.
There is always somewhere, some
eye that is weeping, some heart that
is bleeding. some home whose
light has been extinguished and whose
affairs are draped in the testimonials
of sorrow
Brother Joseph w. Steiger has pass
ed from among us. How large is that
house Of mourning todaye
Joseph w Steiger was believer in
the good there is in all humanity. He
was the friend of the distressed and
Of every good cause. He stood for the
right, for fidelity; for brotherly love;
for charity; for exact justice and
above all for those who was nearest
and dearest to him.
He believed in the gospel Of sun
shine: he breathed the air OF good
fellowship, Of Joy and happiness. He
hated cant and despised hypocrisy and
struggled all his life to lift humanity
to higher and nobler ris.ne. He was
loving husband and in all true
friend; he has not lived in vain and
vii. be remembered by those wko
knew him best, an example OF right
living to all men.
As he stood with undimmed eyes
lifted to green fields and loftier peaks
beyond, the future had .luch in store
for him.
To be thus stricken with the pain
q death even though he suffered pa-
tiently for many months is something
SO pathetic that it staggers even the
strongest, and causes lis to pause and
wonder why the ways Of providence
are SO often yelled in darkness. We
can but indulge in the hope that
somewhere, sometime, the mystery
VIII be solved and we will then UNI
derstand
Not now but in the coming years
may be in the better land
Wen read the meaning of our tears
ana the sometime Wen understand
why, what we long for most of all
Elides SO oft our eager hand,
why, hopes are crushed and castles
fall
sometime. somewhere wen under
stand.p
We cannot conceive that the SPLEEN
va intellect and the garnered wisdom
u Joseph w. Steiger's life is to be
buried IN the grave. All noture's
'eachlngs are to the contrary. The
seasons come and go. the trees and
SHRUBS that cast their foliage when
autumn comes. to be clad again with
ieai and flower when spring returns,
al teach us there. is no death. and
mus trusting We leave him to rest,
anu whatever flower of hope springs
~ N our hearts we will cherish.
and what is sweeter than sacred
memory As time heals the bruised
anu bleeding hearts of his dear wife

This is the time when the farmers
should be careful what kind of corn
they are feeding stock. Many horses
have died in Kentucky this winter
as a result of eating bad corn. In
the western end of the state the
deaths have occurred when the grain
showed no evidence of being unfit
for feed The heavy and continued
September rains caused a great deal
of corn, and some fodder, to mold.
The mold is poison and kills animals,
especially the horses that eat it. The
hay crop too is giving some serious
trouble.
For the few lots unsold in my sub
division, | am asking about half of
what they are worth, so on Feb. list,
will raise them $500 per lot.
