BUENA VISTA,OA.,MARCH 19th, 1881 Jacksonville High School. ~ In another column appear* the ap plication for a charter of the "Jack** aonvillo High School,” ami a reading of the article will give the plan. We think it is a good move, and evinces great enterprise in that community. Jacksonville is located in a fine ag gricultural section; it is very healthy, undis as good a place as any for a high school. A place is just what her peoplo is amind to make it, and if this school enterpriso is successfully carried out (and from an acquaintance with the men who are directing it we believe it will,) it places Jack sonville head and shoulder aboy* any other section of Marion county.

Liberty,Marion County, Oa. 1 March 12tb, 1881. j DearArgUß:—Since the first trans gression by the primogenitor of the tinman family, the unalterable decres has gone forth, “though shall surely die.” Decay is, therefire, the order of living nature. The monarch, with bis absolute earthly power, surround ed with an immense retinue of will ing subjects to do his bidding, can not evads or nullify this decree. Ha milca, the Cartbagcnian general, with bis millions of treasure and brave soldiers, was unable to bribo or turn the “pale horse,’’ but like the poor peasant was made to yield to the de cree of “dust to dust.” Man may possess the reputed gold ot Ophir, the diamonds of Goiconda, the topaz of Ethiopia, the Onyx and Saphire of earth, yet he is unable to avert the decree, or pass this never sleeping sentinel. Deeds may and do live after the duet hath mingled with, its dust. No love, no hatred or desire, can change tbe decree. We may live emulous lives, we may do deeds to which the fond Christian parent may point his child, but we too most obey this solemn decree to try the realities of an unknowr, world. We may have ties of affection whic£ bind us to earth, but thesß Jtpo naurt and will bff broken asunder in answer to the mandates of “dust to dust.” We' may have the wisdom of sages and speak with tongues, but the sequel is “ob, death where is thy sting; grave where is thy victory?” Hence neiher powers nor principalities, wealth, wisdom, or affection are able to satisfy the demands of divine jus tice. These reminisc. nsos may be ex tended and are the result of our sad bereavement in the death of Miss Lou Wadsworth, who but a short time since was called to fulfill the inevitable decree of “dust to dust,” and whose obituary has been written oat and read by many friends. Asa daughter,she was ever dutiful, faith ful aud attentive to parental wants, and we tender the doting, yet be reaved ones our heart felt sympathy and condolence; as a sister, she was ali that the word imports—kind, at tentive and consoling] under the try ing vicissitudes of life, and we say to them that while their irreparable loss is her gaiu, we do sincerely tender to them our sympathy, imploring them to emulate her example of Christian virtue and forbearance; as a member of the church, she lived strictly up to all of its requirements as an exem plary member and devoted Christian, and while she will no more answer to its roll call, her angel spirit, sustain ed and cheered by an exemplary life of deeds ol virtue and devotion, will hover over that institution which she so much loved while in life; as a pu. pil, she was ever faithful and prompt almost to a fault. Her desire seem ed to be to render the arduous and try ing duties ot her teacher pleasant and agreeable, nence we say may her dust rest in quiet repose awaiting the Master’s call; as a friend and mem ber of society, she was true, constant, confidante and confiding, being above treachery, she spurned the gossimer tongue of the quid nunc. She is dead, yet she liv. th. She now lives and will loDg live in the hearts and memories of a host of surviving friends. Though cut down in tbe bloom of life, her sweet fragrance will live to permeate the memories of friends, reminding them that it is not all of life to live. Shall we weep? With her loved ones we shed the tear of sorrow, but these tears will intermingle with the tears of rejoic ing in tbe evidences of the stability of her faith. The writer of this imperfect notice offers it as a faint memorial of the many virtues of her whom he bo much respected. Then we j fare well daughter, farewell sister, fare well loved one, for time must a nonage the wounds of our grief before those who loved her most nd knew he bet, can say e-c** than m.y tf lust*, rest in siw at repot a until the lir'tfe-' groom s'.all home to take hia \ i ™ tc HinK cM* ‘ A FpibSL Why does not Bro, liar.cock and Bro.
