Gone to Her Reward.

On Wednesday morning, Mch.,
the 4th, the death angel visited
the home of Mr.. Thera Brock
man. and claimed for its victim
his beloved wife, Bertha.
She was &c years old, and a
victim of that dreaded disease
consumption. She leaves a hus-
band, brother, and three little,
children to grieve for her, be-
sides other relatives and many
friends.
Her death was not unexpected,
as she had been confined to her
room for several months. All
that loving hands and the skill
of number of physicians could
do, was done for her, but God
knew best.
Early in life she professed her
faith in Christ, and united with
the United Brethren Church.
Bertha was good and kind,
and beloved by all who knew
her. To the bereaved husband
we can say; weep not as one who
has no hope" She was a kind
and loving mother, and will be
greatly missed in this communi-
ty, but most of all by her hus-
band and little children, who are
SO lonely without her. But weep
not, for she is safe with Jesus,
and is reckoning to loved ones to
join her around Gods eternal
throne, where there will be no
more parting or sad good byes.
The sacred tie is broken, and
she has gone to try the realities
of that great beyond, which,
sooner or later, we must all en-
ter into. 1t is such a sweet
thought for her loved ones to
know that she is at rest with Je-
sus, and that some sweet day
they can all join her in heaven
an unbroken band around Gods
throne. It is so hard to give her
up, but it is Gods will. His will
be done, not ours.

A tobacco grower writes a let
ter to the Georgetown News in
which he makes a suggestion
that is worth considering by
farmers who are engaged in the
production of 1.-THE weed" He
says he believes it would work
both to the interest of the land
lord and tenant to keep the
common tail end of the crop off
the market entirely" If the to-
bacco he says which sells for less
than four cents could be kept off
the market by some plan worked
out between the landlord and
tenant, it would be to the bene.
fit of both. 1t costs as much to
strip and market this common
stuff as it does the good tobacco
and it proves about a clear loss
to the tenant. f" As to a possible
