In death’s cold arms doth lie.
Go, little pilgrim to thy home,
On, yonder’s blissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will
come,
Wh re thou hastt gone before.
Toy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy young and innocent
brow,
Tij r hting and >ath’ s cold eh.ll.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast,
We’ve kissed thy lovely T>*ow,
And in our aching hearts we
know 7 ,
Wj have no darling no tv.
Those litle lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed forever now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone
so bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
Tin l little heart that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloom.
Are lriddl n new from those he
loved,
Benea + h. the rilent tomb.
Another little lamb is gone,
To dwell with him who gave;
Another little darling babe,
Is sh flteredin the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining hand ,
And so he iFnt with, lov'ng
smile,
And clasped our darling’s hand

Women Who Get Bi zzy.
Every woman who is troubled

headach, weakness, de
bility 7, constipation or kidney
troubles should use Electric Bit
ter’s. They give relief when noth

adding strength and vigor from
the first dose. Mrs. Laura Gaines
of Avoca, T,a., says: “Four doc

children and all my friends were
looking for me to die, when my
sofa insisted that 1 use Electric

done me a world of good.” -Jus'

Capt. Thomas L. Rossi jjoined
the confederate army under Capt.
A. C. Thompson as First Lieuten
ant. When Capt. Thompson was
disabled he was made captain. In
this capicity lie served his coun
try unril lie was made a prisoner
and confirmed in prison at Ft.
Delaware until the close of the
war when he w<if| released to re
turn to home and friends.
He was wounded in the battle
of Gettysburg, and in the battle
of the Wilderness,a mimic ball hit
his left breast, went through his
pocket hook, a small Bible, and
fell through his clothing to the
ground.
Comrades say of him no cooler
or more rational man ever entered
a batlle. The dn of battle never
made him to fear or fail the leas|t
bit.
He was a consistent member of
Lebanon church, which, he join
ed when quite a lad. He was just
and true, courteous and clever,
ever obliging and ready to aocom
modate a neighbor. Ipi his youth
he was se£nt to borrow a team ot
a neighbor. The slowness to an
swer and uink'ndnees in tone of
the neighbor wrought heavily
upon the sensitive nerve of the
b'oy. When the boy became a
.man afrid had a plenty of this
worlds goods, this one time neigh
bor came to borrow of him. Now
(Captain Ross took from his crib
and sfcnoke house cheerfully such
things as was needed and gave
thmu freely. This act shows up
the true brotherly love and Chris
tian spirit of the noble man he
was. What more can we say
than peace hie to the ashesf of
Captain Thomas L. Ross.
