Wo make tho following report on tho Pauper Farm: There aro throo in mates, ono whito and two oolored, and thoy soom to bo well oared for.

IN MEMOR1AM. “God’s wnys are not our ways.” They are past finding out, nnd we would not penetrate them If we oould. We know He doeth all things for our instruction nnd our good; that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without His knowledge. Therefore, while we cannot understand why within the short space of two hours Ho sent Ills death angel twloe to visit the home of Mr. T. C. Moss last Tuesday night and,bring to Him two more precious souls tn be with Him in Paradise, wo know He is too wise to err and too merciful to he unkind. Isabel Moss was born Deo, 2d, 189S, and died Sept. 18tll,1900,at7 o’olook p.m, Raleigh Moss was born Oot. 2nth, 1895, and died Sept, 1811), 1900, at 9 o’clock p. tn. They botli fell victims to that dread disease, diphtheria, which does its work so swiftly and fatally that before j the bereaved pnrenta oould hardly re-i alizu tile danger of their darlings they were snatched from them. I never knew a sweeter or prettier child than dear little Isabel. With beautiful brown eyes and dark curls showing to advantage, and her olenr, transparent skin, she made n liioture you seldom see. Her little face ever wore a smile of such sweetness that you were reminded of a halo encom passing it, As we think of her now, we are impressed with the thought that she was one of God’s angels only sent us for n short time to point the way to Him, and by her life and loss help to lead tile ones left to Jesus. Raleigh was n bright, handsome nnd manly boy of live'years, the picture of health. His little mind was ever full of plans for aiding “Mamina’s” future happiness, so often telling her of tho pretty things he would buy and the many tilings he would do for her “When I get to lie a big boy," He was the most devoted child to Ills father I ever saw. Ever since he could toddle lie would follow him to the lot, field, etc., and ns l sit ill my home nnd watch thnt stricken fattier go to his work without his hoy, my heart aches for him in tils sorrow. To the bereaved I have only this consola tion to offer: God will not tax our fortitude with more than He will give us strength to bear. May the Holy Spirit, the Great Com forter, fill and eomfort your hearts and direct your lives until by and by the summons shall come to you one by one, “Come up higher.” Roautifnl hands of little ones, see; Baby voices calling, O parents, to thee. Rosy-clieeked darlings, Che light of your homo, Taken so early, are beokoning come. M. L. W. Cruel Death pnsaed through Collard Valley last Tuesday night nnd claimed for Its own the two sweet, prooious ohlldren of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moss, They died within two hours of eaoh other. It is hard to givo up one child, but when God takes two at a time it almost breaks the hearts of the be loved parents. Raleigh, aged live years, was the idol of his father, nnd was the first to meet him on ills return home and get up in his lap and tell papa how muoh he loved him. Little Tsabel was two years old, and the love liest child I ever saw. I don’t believe there will be a sweeter angel in heaven than little Isabel. Kind parents, do not grieve for your angels, but look up to heaven and say, My babies are watahing for mama and papa.

Everything is dry, and the weather is usually fine for such work. But, if not done sooner, begin in November The Colonel'* Romance, “Colonel," said tho romnntlc girl, “tell me how you got that scar upon your left check. Oh, I Just know It must he a thrilling story. Was It made by a bullet or a saber thrust? I prefer a saber thrust. It seems so much more like the knighthood of old. You can’t see a bullet coming, nnd there is no way to escape It or combnt It, but when ybur enemy rushes at you with Ills up lifted saber there Is the possibility of parrying his blow and cutting hhn down. That seems much moro manly, even If the victor In the frny does re ceive a wound or two, than to Just be laid low or to Iny tho enemy low by n bullet thnt cannot bo seen. There Is no bravery. In shooting a man, but there Is something knightly In meeting another face to face with a sword. Your scar looks like one thnt was left by a gleaming blade, nnd I know that your enemy must at least liave been rendered hors do combat. Tell me all about It, colonel—when It happened nnd how. I am so interested in war stories.” “Yes,” he replied, *‘I agree with you fully about the sword nnd saber busi ness. There Isn’t much bravery In shooting a fellow, nnd there Is some thing knightly about standing up and thrusting nnd pnrrylng with a blade. But I got this wound while acting as an Innocent bystander at n Chicago strike riot. It was a brick.’’—Chicago Tlracs-nernld. ^hen you aro wronged, people say it is a “shame,” and that’s about all the help or comfort you get. Sure, and get it done before rainy weather sets In.

A Pathetic Figaro Who In‘Regularly Snubbed at Town Meeting*, The most pathetic figure at a town meeting is the man with a claim. The man who lias tho claim or grievance goes to tho selectmen eneb spring nnd has thorn put an article in the warrant bringing this matter up. Some years ho goes Into town meeting bimBolf and urges his claim. In other years tar the sake of vorloty he will hire some of tho local lawyers to present the matter In tho best rannner possible. Usually tho man Is listened to, though tho whole thing Is horribly familiar to ev. cry voter In the town. Then, when nil the oratory has been spilled Into their cars, some long eared man from the bnck districts will' rise nnd will drnwl with a grin: “Move wo pass over that article,' and forthwith the article Is paBBcd over with a whoop. And the man Is around next year as usual. It Is a curl ous thing, but the nverage town ap pears always ready to repudiate these matters of long standing. I have beard voters admit thnt certain claims against their town were perfectly legit imate and pcrlinps ought to be paid, but they are of tho coterie that regu larly votes against granting the ap peal of the petitioners. Why? Ob, well, It’s "an old matter,” nnd tho town Is Irritated by the persistence of the man who keeps coming to claim his own. When a town gets set In that direction, there Is no repudiation so heartless and so conscienceless ns that which marks Its action. Yon sco, tho blame Is so equally divided. Refusing to pay honest debts Is treated as a joke. Even the man who at Inst with awakened conscience gets up nnd urges Ills fellow citizens to do the right thing and pay the hill Is smiled away ns a chap that menus well, but doesn't know wlint lie Is talking about.—Lew Iston Journal. Tho health problem is most quiokly solved by making tho blood pure and digostion perfect by taking Hood’s Bar- saparilla. Its cures of scrofula, salt rheum, dyspepsia, nervousness, and that tired feeling are legion. The non-irritating eathartio is Hood’s Pills. TELEPHONE NOTICE. Telephone service is and always was strictly cash. In the future, if bills are not paid promptly, service will be imme diately discontinued until paid. J. A. Dodds,. TAX RATE FOR 11)00.
