little son are visiting relatives in

lock fine girl on the 26.-On the

j. E. Woodall, the hustlipg
salesman of London, was with our
merchants Tuesday.-Some PEG
pie as they.pass through this life,
give boquets and flowers to the
living and some wait until after
death TO speak a good word or ev.
en- to cast flowers. What we have
reference to is this: Our Brod
head friend. 10 commenting on
our meeting here, seems 10 think
that the father of time has laid
{ rough hand on US. We will ad-
NIT that we are not as Young as we
once were, and we don't believe
there is a fountain of youth where
we might battle and be young
But in our conversation with the
Brodhead man we, too, noticed a
great change in him since youth.
The sparkling eye that he once
possessed has taken a back seat,
and glass is used to help his Wis
ion, the rosy hugh that was once
in his cheek, has given away and
begins to look different, and the
little marks or burrows which is a
sure sign of age, have made their
appearance, and we then think of
that scripture which says: MAN
that is born OF woman is but few
days and full of trouble. So Mr..
r.. you too. are mortal and not as
young as you once were when you
used to hunt hickory nuts and
chase rabbits on Negro creek bills.
We will state this: He claims We
were chasing a wheelbarrow with
kindling in it. That is a fact. We
do every thing from lighting lamps
to running trains and are not
ashamed or afraid of work. Pres
ident Abe Lincoln Split lots of
rails and later became president,
and lots of good men have started
from the bottom. But our friend
is like the Pharisee who prayed
standing. when he said he thanked
God that he was not as some men.
Now. Mr.. R., get the family rec
ord and hunt until you find your
date TO birth and it don't show
that you have started down the
other side too, We then will ad.
nit that there is nothing in looks.
