Haw Thorn.
The dail Order Serpent.
Once upon a time in the land of
Uncle Sam a colony of people or
ganized themselves into a town.
The town grew and waxed fat upon
the produce of the land round
about, and the people dwelt hap
pily under their own vines and fig
trees, and the tradesmen built em
poriums of merchandise, and all
was well. More people joined the
colony from year to year until the
town was a place of population and
prosperity. But the time came
when into the midst of the town
crawled a serpent of discord,
yclept the mail order catalogue,
which whispered into the ears of
the people a siren song of big
bargains, the same being a fable
and a fake. Thereat the people
thought they saw a good thing, and
they bit. In the course of events
the merchants closed there doors
and removed to other towns where
in as j T et the mail order serpent,
had not yet entered. Large holly
hocks grew up in the streets
whereof the cows ate bountifully.
It was fun for the co«s, but death
to the town.
China and Japan are preemi
nently the seaweed eating natici e
of the world. Among no otlnr
people are seaweeds so extensively
eaten and rel eshed as food.

In Memory of Erastus Findley.
Dear parents, von
should not w-ep. vour darling boy
is gone ; his bndv lies within the
tomb, his s nil thef angels keep to
arisf- in resurrection morn.
W uh skillful Doctors lie c<>u’d
I not I've, h*" was only alone trom
' the Lord : from us the Lord takes
just as He gives to fulfill His gra
cious word.
Oh, parents and relatives, do
not grieve, you can never call
him home; all pain, and sorrows
God has relieved, with angel’s
wings he now sits in a heavenly
throne.
lie is singing with angels all
robed in white, now happy, and
free from earthly care&; in Jesus’
arms with a crcwn glittering
bright, would you call him back
here, would you dear ones?
He hus paid the debt we all
must pay all darkness of n ight is
changed o day; no sickness, no
sorrow, no grief or pain, your dear
boy will never feel again.
Just think of your children,
there are many more, Jesus is
calling them every day. He loves
them, he wants them to cross over
the shore, you must obey Jesus’
and with the angels stay.
You all loved this young man,
God loved him more, his name is
written on high; he is sitting on
the golden shore, singing “you’re
coming to join me bye and bye.”
What peace and pleasure you
all once enjoyed, the memory
makes you chill; this death has
made an aching void that all on
earth can never fill.
Oh, beautiful morning, give
them rest, and let their sorrows
cease; releave them of such
troubles r iu life the Lord knows
all things best.
Remember all kindred, God’s
angel stands at the glittering
pearly gate, to usher you in at
the Lord’s command to meet our
loved ones who stand in wait.
Mrs. E. C. Thompson.
Postmaster Saylers of Radley,
Ind., cannot resign his position
because no one can be found who
is willing to take his place. The
government has twice set exami
nation days, but both went by de
fault for want of applicants.
A message from Col. Jones tells
us that he is not doing well at all.
His health has failed fast during
the last few weeks and he was so
weak last, week that he had to ■ go
tc bed. He is expected home in a
day or so if he is able to travel.
‘ Uncle Tom” Clifton, from
down near Marvin, came in the
first of the week with Ro6coe and
Zeke in ‘‘Uncle Gob” Clifton’s
new Hudson and they say they
had a fine trip.
