IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Myrtle Mckinley Ranney who de-
parted this life November 81 1918
she was born August 22, 1891 and
was married to Guy Ranney Septem-
Der IL, 1909. She took sick Nov
ember II. and though attended with
the tenderest care and the aid of five
physicians during her illness. after
ten days succumbed to pneumonia
following influenza. She leaves a
husband and three children, Guy No

Mena, Ark, two sisters, Mrs. G.. f..
Bodey, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Mrs.
willard Lake, Simmons, Ky, and one
btother Rufus Mckinley, Simmons,
Ky.
She was a kind and loving wife
and mother and though we deeply
feel the loss of one who was loved
so well and miss the voice that Is
stilled, we would say Loved ones
grieve not. for she has only obeyed
the summons of one who doeth all
things we'll and which we must all
answer. she has gone on the voyage
thtt we must make and from which
none ever return.
she has departed this world for a
land much fairer than this, where
sorrow never comes, where the streets
are gold and there is no night to mar
the brightness of eternal day, and is
nov with her mother who died nine
years ago, and just a few steps away
in he land whose portals we call
death, they stand and beackon to low
ed ones.
She professed faith in Christ at
the age of ~ years and until her
death was a devoted christian and
surely such a beautiful life as hers
is worthy of imitation, for none knew
her but to love her. The sunshine
of her presence will be sorely missed
but God doeth all things well and may
he he with, and sustain the bereaved
ones in this hour. Her beautiful
earthly existence is ended and she is
sleeping that sleep from which there
is no awakening.
'Be comforted, we loved ones who
weep
She is not dead. she Is just asleep,
While angels cluster round her
head
Asleep with Jesus, she is not dead

With the coming of the cold win
ter days we envy the happy lot of the
blissful farmer, whose larder and
coal shed filed, has nothing to do but
chew his tobacco, cat three meals a
day and loaf at the village store. And
all of this too, while we work like a
beaver all day and until eleven
o'clock at night. And yet, we can
remember when we lived in just such
blissless ignorance OF the happiness
Of our lot, and envied the man who
wore a collar and tic seven days in
the week, and had a ianitor to sweep
out his Office and light his fires.
There's difference in the point of
view.

STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluke McFluke.)

These have been just about the dri-
est wet holidays we have ever gone
up against, but, like Uncle Bill File
ner's Niger in jail, was by the stock
peas, IL we don't come to like 'em,
we most assuredly are destined to be-
come accustomed to 'em.
Every time we have a breakdown
and a chance for a day or two of,
the blame river is muddy and its TOO
cold to fish, or the squirrel season Is
closed and we can't hunt. Even If we
get sick, too sick to work, our wife
won't let us out. Believe me Saman-
tina, its a hard cruel world at times.
Bat Nall has been Fostering the life
out of John Henry about that COW he
and | were to give Bat. | denied all
responsibility for the COW or any
thing else, to which Bat readily
agreed, he said nobody ever held or
considered me responsible for any
thing" Bat offered to compromise
with Thomas yesterday for one gal
Ion crock and milk dipper.
My wife took me to the movies last
Friday night and in turn. l took her
to church on Sunday night. These
were the first gatherings we have
been in since the flu hit this burg and
judging from the attendance at the
two different places, there must be
lot more danger up at the church
than down at the show house.
Editor Creep was certainly in his
glory over at the Herald office Tues
day night when the basement over
flowed. Being a preacher and a
member of the Christian church, he
did not mind getting all wet and soy
gy from the hoofs up. and took to the
water just like a duck, but twas
mighty hard on me, a sort of cold
collared methodist, working in that
water, helping the parson get the
Herald out.
At last, A. Rial. the popcorn man.
has resumed his former glory. that
self-satisfied sphere in which he NOV
ed before the flu ban went on, viz:
tramping on your feet, standing on
your corns, mussing you all up and
splitting salt in your eyes as he dis
penses his wares to the patrons of
the movies. He don't only do this
between acts. he does it while in the
act.
Jim Bennett went into the Clerk
Office 'tother day to have his dog
licensed. When Jim made his appli-
cation for the tag the Deputy Clerk
aXed him if it was for himself where
upon his face went red and he re-
piled mo its. for the dog at home"
AS my wife and | sat around the
hearthstone the other night, she be
ing in rather joyous and speculative
frame of mind, superinduced by the
yuletide spirit | presume, tho it
wasn't yuletide spirits that was af-
fecting my condition. spoke up from
her corner about as follows: "Old
man! when you have made the last
big jump, when you hit the great di-
vide, | have figured out an appropri-
ate epitaph to place on the board to
be stuck just west of the spot in
which you are planted 1t is this:
Here now repOseth a good husband,
an ideal one. and never more in any
other spot will he lie" Somehow
my mind just naturally went to good
Huns, the old time good Indian, and
when / consulted Mr.. Webster as to
the meaning of never more to "lie"

with wifes epitaph.

IN LOVING MEMORY.

Of Alice Douglass Ranney. born
March 16, 1914, and departed this
life December 1, 1918. Just 4 days
after her mother was taken the great
white angel of Death again descend
ed and entered the home of Guy
Ranney and when it assembled again
it bore as its precious prize the soul
of Alice Douglass. She was four
years old and died of spinal menin-
gifts, following influenza, and her
body now rests beside that OF her
mother, in lakewood cemetery, Hart
ford, Ky. She has gone from this
world never to know care or sorrow,
and shall forever rest safe in her
mothers arms. Bereaved loved ones,
you shall meet these gone before in
a land where tears are unknown.
A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
God in His Heaven hath recalled
The boon, His love had given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
