In MEMORIAM.

Died at his home near Repton, Ky..
March 18th, 1916, in his fifteenth wear.
little Joe Thurman, son of Mrs. Carrie
Thurman. He was sick only a few
days with acute hephrtis, he suffered
so much but alasl All that loving hands
or doctors could do, was done, but to
no avail; every wish was gratifed and
when he fell sleep in Jesus, blessed
sleep from which none ever wake to
weep" He was laid to rest in the
Repton cemetery amid a profusion of
floral offerings. The funeral service
was held in the Baptist church by Bro.
Newman, of Marion. He leaves a
mother, grandfather, three brothers,
one sist'r and host of friends and rela-
tives to mourn his loss.
A beautiful flower is plucked in his
boyhood; Gods will be done. 1t was
hard to give him up but God knew best.
He is standing on yonder bright shore,
waiting to welcome US home.
Weep not dear mother for his suffer-
ings are Ger. He cannot come back
to vs. but what consolation we can
90 to him. OH 1t is sad to live here
without him. There is a vacant chair
which never can be filled, but we know
he safe In the eternal home with God
and His angels, where there Is no sick
ness or death.
Joe is sleeping, calmly seeping
In a new made grave. today,
While we are weeping sadly weeping
For the dear one gone away.
He is singing, sweetly singing
In the paradise above,
Where celestial courts are ringing,
With the melody of love-
Joe is blooming, brightly blooming,
Mid the fairest flowers of light
In the garden of sweet Eden,
Where the flowers never blight.
Joe is waiting, ever waiting
For the friends he loved the best.
He will gladly hale their coming,
To the mansions Of the blest.
One by one the Lord will call US,
As our labor here is done,
And then as We cross the river,
He will meet US one by one.
Father and brother gone to that
chime,
Wait for the others. coming some time;
Safe with the angels white as the
snow.
Watching for dear ones waiting be-
low.
Darling brother light Of the home,
Looking for someone Decking come;
Bright as the sunbeam pure as the dew.
Anxiously looking, mother, for you.

Tearnsters May Start
Sympathetic Strike

San Francisco, July If the bay
and river boatmen' Is strike is not set
tied b9 Monday, members of the Broth
erhood of Teamsters will walk out in
sympathy. This was the plan today,
following a meeting of the local lodge,
at which the river strike situation was
discussed. The longshoremen strike
has nothing TO do with this move, it
was declared
Michael Case, president Of the union,
in announcing the plan declared that
the bay and river boatmen had been
refused arbitration, although their de-
mands were justified. If tne team.
sters quit, Casey said, the produce bus
mess in San Francisco may be serious
ly affected, as a great portion of the
fruits and vegetables used here are
brought to the wharves in river ves-
sells and handled on the docks by the
teamsters union.
Marine firemen vote next week on
the proposition of strike in sympathy
with the bay and river boatmen. Such
move would seriously affect river
commerce.
The waterfront workers federation is
considering the longshoremen s request
for a sympathetic strike.

In the midst of a thunder and lightn-

into a deluge downpour any minute, the
crack and flash of rifle report rang
out and a lone bullet sang past the
ears of Troop d cavalrymen, who were
patrolling near the customs house. Ow-
ing to the darkness no figures could be
seen on the Mexican side. A call was
sent in to the officer of the day, in
forming him of the incident. Two com

formed in line and were stationed as a
