DEATH OF ELISHA ALEXANDER.

On the 4th day of February,
1921, the death angel visited the
home of Mrs. Rutha Alexander and
claimed for its victor her third son,
Elisha Alexander. His death was
caused from a fall he received while
hauling wood the 9th of January
1921. He attempted to put big
stick of wood on the wagon and got
entangled in some brush which threw
him to the ground and paralyzed tho
lower part of his body, which causct
him to never walk any wore. He
suffered five weeks, but bore it with
out one word His suffering nevc,
worried him one bit. When any one
asked him how he was feeling he
always said, 81 am feeling all right"
His death will bring sorrow to many
throughout the county where he has
lived all his life and took care of his
aged mother Hc never united with
any church, but was a good, honest,
truthful. upright man, always loyal
to his friends and ncighbors. and a
charitable givcr to the poor and
needy. If elisha had lived until the
18th day Of March, 1921, he would
have been fifty years old. He leaves
an aged mother, Mrs. Rutha Alex
andcr, and four brothers, Sarge, Rob
ert, Arthur and Bleve, and host of
friends and relatives to mourn his
death. His father and two brothers
and one sister preceded him to the
grave several years ago. Funeral
services were conducted at his home
IN the presence of large crowd of
Sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev.
w, L. Abbott being in charge. His
BODY was laid to rest i'm the Craig
buryng ground Wednesday follow
ing his death. We will miss him so
much in the home and in the com
munlty, but we have the good conso-
lation that he is at rest, and the
writer feels sure that he will meet
nm across the river over in the
sweet bye and bye. We know that
God never makes mistake. Elisha
said before he died that he was in
the hands Of the Lord, and we feel
satisfied that be was He has an
Swercd his Masters call and we all
have to answer it sooner or later.

KINDNESS.

In these dark days of turmoil and
uncertainty when the world is BATH
cd in trouble, and life's sinking san
seems to be going down without any
hope of ever rising again, and when
the beautiful leaves and flowers Of
life, which once shed their sweet frag.
rance on the lives Of millions, seem
to be fading away, do we all not see
and feel that kindness is much need
ed? DO we not all feel that we have
needed its presence more in our own
lives? Friends, as you read this, do
not think that l am trying to get
you into a trap, for humbly confess
am not, but if can help you on
lifc's journey, with few sugges..
, tions, | have reason to believe ybu
will appreciate these words. Fathers,
and mothers, may ask you to be
kind to your children. The kind
treatment you give them will never
be lost. am sorry have ever
spoken an unkind word. Friends, did
you know that there are millions Of
boys and girls away from home today
because they were unkindly treatsd?
Shall say more? There are miL-
| lions on those far off burning shores,
because they were treated unkindly.
| Boys, girls and children, be kind to
yur fathers and mothers; they will
not be with you always. Many Of
you know me, and if you will pardon
me | will give word of testimoay.
4; Twelve years ago l was a lost man,
far out on the mountains, 80 bleak
and so cold. sought rest; no rest
, could be found; sought a place to
rest my weary feet, but the way was
slippery. cried, l prayed, all seem
ed to be dark. | kept praying and
pleading with God until His dear
Son came and lifted the load and set
: me free. Since that time have
been in touch with Him. The desire
of my heart has been to treat every
person kindly. Friends, l want to
go to heaven when | leave this world.
Many Of you that read this may be
discouraged with your life Let mo
l
load and help you to be more kind.
Again, it takes a life filled with
prayer to manifest the spirit of kind
ness. We are so drained and weaken
cd by the fall that we have within
us II we are not saved, a sin princi-
pie that gets the advantage of us,
aNd causes us to be unkind While
10 not say that every word that a
man shapes after he has received the
Holy Spirit will be pleasing to the
Lord, when we have fulfilled the
practice of kindness in our lines we
have to great extent mastered the
Christian life. This is the means
that God has used, is using and will
use to have millions on the banks of
sweet dclivcrancc.

quences painful. indeed. to think
about. But Senators are to blame.
Years ago. long before the under
ground jaunting car line connected
Senate chamber and offices. the Sen
ate, the House agreeing, permitted
cunning though innocent looking
little street railway line to run a
spur into the north driveway Of Capt.
tol Park for the convenience Of men,
bers. That was the camel's nose;
now the whole beast is all there,
kicking legs notably.
Few Senators and not many Repre-
sentatives are in the sprinting age,
and some who are developed charley
horse in running for office. With no
traffic cops in the park to regulate
the rush and roar of touring cars,
residents cars, taxis, rubber neck
buses. delivery trucks and side cars,
it means sprightly going for elderly
or tired statesmen vending their
weary way toward their own prop
erly parked limousines.
Public sympathy will but slowly
rise in this really deplorable crisis:
the camel was invited by those who
now most lament his pestiferous
