EVANSVILLE. Wis. April 24.-For

agent at Footville. a small station on
the old main line OF the Northwestern
road between Evansville and Beloit.
Inherited a huge package that stood
In one corner OF the freight room. It's
direction had worn of by handling,
and beyond the fact IL had been con.
signed to some one in Footville, 1t was
forgotten.
It's weight made II subject OF
conjecture, and some inquisitive per
son had torn of enough OF the pack.
age 10 establish the fact il was a
tombstone, but even the Oldest inhab-
liant did not remember the name that
was chiselled on II. Behind this all
lie a simple tale.
Many years ago a family named
Breed lived near Footville The father
died and was buried In the little coun.
try cemetery and the widow and her
children moved to Illinois. One of the
sons, ID. B. Breed, when he grew 10
manhood, visited the grave and made
arrangements for its care. Later he
ordered a suitable tombstone To mark
It's site.
The stone was shipped TO Footville,
letter Of instructions mailed, which
doubtless was never delivered. and the
tombstone found a resting place In
the freight depot. Mr. Breed pros
pered in his business, and is one of
the owners OF the Freeport Journal
and Standard OF Freeport, H.
Recently he visited Footville TO
again go to the little cemetery. His
surprise at finding no tombstone led
to- an investigation and the unearth-
ing OF the long .forgotten marble in
the depot. Today L is placed, long,
long years after ii had been engraved,
in loving memory to the deceased.

THE BEST OF ALL is THAT ZION
CITY IS A CLEAN CITY

Within all its confines there cannot be
found one place where tobacco, alcoholic
liquor, poisonous drugs, filthy swine's fesh
or any other thing that defiles can be bought
or procured in any way
There can be found no vile theater, no
damning gambling hell, no house Of her
whose house is the gate of hell, no place for
the sale or display Of filthy pictures or i'm
pure books, in all that fair City.
1t is City where God is Supreme.
His Name is worshiped and His blessing
invoked.
It is ruled by God, through His Mes
senger and those who will not obey God are
not allowed to pollute that City with their
rebellious presence.

lions Protest Against Filthy
Swine's Flesh

Swine's flesh is a filthy, disease-produc-
ing flesh. Men, women and children in null
titudes are literally rotting, through its
general use.
God cursed it as an article of food under
the Law. Through His Son He cursed it
two thousand times in one day under the
Gospel.
SaVine's flesh has, therefore, been doubly
cursed, under the Law and under the Gosv
pei.
1t is scrofulous, cancerous, tuberculosis,
and cholera and trichinosis breeding flesh
Abstain from its disgusting devilish, dis
eased flesh, and defle not your body by eat
ing it
No one has the right to breed, sell OF pro-
fit by the filthy hog.
Read Leviticus II :7,8 and Matthew s.:
1892.

ADVANTAGES OF RESIDENCES IN
ZION CITY

One of the principal advantages of resi-
dence in ZION CITY, will be that of bringing
up children in a clean atmosphere, unde-
filed by the saloon, the tabacconist's shop,
the drug store, the bad book and bad picture
shop, the theater, the gambling hell, the
house of her whose house is the gate of
hell, and other curses.
Coupled with this will be the glorious pri-
vilege of schools, where Romanism, inhdel-
ity, Secretism heathenism or apostasy have
no part.
What royal generation can be trained
under such circumstances and in such an
environment

FOUND IN HEATHENISM
The practice of medicine originated in
heathenism i'll the worship of demons. 1t
can be readily traced back through its his
tory to the heather gods. Apollo was the
presiding deity of medicine. Apollo was
also called Phoebus, another name for the
sun, thus showing that medicine is a part
of sun worship.
