The registration books

time the secretary of the

making lists for the precinct

The newspaper is a law book
for the indolent, a sermon for the
thoughtless, a library for the
poor and an admonisher for the
lawless. It may stimulate the
most indifferent, but it cannot
be published without cost and
sent free to subscribers. This is
no joke.
It is only duty and justice to
encourage your home paper, ex¬
tend to it the nourishment to
which it is entitled. Pay your
subscription promptly, and send
a few extra copies to your rela¬
tives and friends at a distance.
They will appreciate the favor
and so will we.
The thought that “no one cares
and no one knows” blights many
a bud of promise. Be it the young
artist at the easel, the workman
at his bench, the boy at his math¬
ematical problems or your
girl at the piano, give what
you can.
This is just the right size town
to settle down in and enjoy life.
Everything for the comfort
life can be bought here and $10
will go as far as $25 will in large
cities - When you want to leave
the farm, come to our town and
build Ul a nice comfortable home
and be among the best people in
the world.
Bob Blanks is mad with some-
body but don’t know just upon
whom to give vent to his feelings.
The'mass meeting placed his old
time friend, ’ Luke Brundage, ® ’ up-
executive . eommitte, . and ,
Bob says that Luke feels so exal¬
ted that he will not notice former
associates and imagines that he
should dignify his office by seek¬
ing more intellectual company.
Bob is thinking seriously of hav¬
ing him examined by a special¬
ists. In his opinion a cog has
slipped in his head.
In these days of rivalry between
candidates we must remember
that after all we are just a band
of brothers here on earth, travel¬
ing from the cradle to the grave.
We live side by side, our children
attend the same school and after
the smoke of battle lias cleared
away, we will still be friends and
neighbors. Let the bitter things
go unsaid. At best, life is short,
and we get out of it a full meas¬
ure of sorrow. Let us in the en¬
tire county live as one big, good
atured family.

Yu Loving Memory of Mr
Willium Roberts, Sr,
Mr William Roberts, Sr., was
born August 21, 1818 and peace¬
fully departed this life, April 20,
1900. In early life he began his
career as a farmer. He was one
of the oldest set,, who first clear¬
ed the forests and tilled the soil.
He made sixty crops at his late
home.
Mr Roberts, lived a consistent
and most exemplary life. His
kind-heartedness, ambition, loy¬
alty, and zeal were fixed qualities
He gave of his substance, means,
influence and strength to the Mas¬
ter, not less cheerfully than did
the woman that ministered to
Christ in olden times. In every
relat ion of life he was always ten¬
der, patient and self-sacrificing
ever looking to the comfort and
pleasure of others rather than
himself.
He carried an asmostphere of
charity and kindness about him
which made everybody within the
circles of his influence feel hap¬
pier and better.
Few men were ever blessed with
a longer and more healthy lite.
Only for about two years has he
been disabled. Throughout this
confinement ho was ever patient
and uncomplaining, always look¬
ing forward to the time when his
days would be no more on this
earth.
Mr Roberts was united in mar-
rittgeto Miss Ellen Simmons,
August 12, 1854, who still sur¬
vives him. He also leaves two
children, Mr William Roberts, Jr
and Mrs L M Brundage, also six¬
teen grand children and nine
greatgrandchildren.
To his aged and feeble widow,
who is now walking in the shad-
ow of great loneliness, our heart
goes out in tenderest sympathy,
May God take care of her and
heal her broken heart, and guide
and direct her until husband and
wife meet again. His going
away is such a crushing blow..
How sad the home from which
he has gone. (
Rev Mr Sammons preached the
funeral at the family residence.'
The large congregation and
many beautiful flowers spoke of
his popularity. We buried him
in the fs illy cemetery to sleep
till God shall call forth his sleep
ing dust.
“We shall sleep, but not for¬
ever,
There will be a glorious dawn.
We shall meet to part no never,
On the resurrection morn.
