rrjjey say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead
And they would find no welcome face.
I cannot tell how it might be
In other homes—but this I know:
Could my dear grandmother come to me,
That she would never find it so.
I am slowly learning from day to day
In all life’s tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave or whether gay,
I hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blessed my wav,
And friends are ’round me true and tried;
They have their place—but her’s to-day
Is empty as the day she died
0,1 would spring witu bated breath
And joy too deep for word or sign,
To take mygrandmother home from death
And once more call her mine*
I dare not dream—the blissful dream,
It fills my heart with wild unrest,
And in the cold, cold grave
She still must slumber—God knows best.
But this I know, that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place,
Have never hungered every day—
Through days and months— for one sweet
face.

In Memory Mrs. T. P. Perdue.
Written for the home journal.
A little over two months ago
death’s angel visited and summon
ed from us one we loved, but the
One that doeth all things well and
knows best, has claimed her soul
for his glorious Cabinet above.
She had been in bad health for a
longtime, but was confined to her
bed only two weeks before she
died. She bore all of her afflic
tions with the utmost modesty,
awaiting the final call of her
Heavenly Father. Alas 1 the hour
came on the morning of February
23rd, 1901, and her soul passed
from time to eternity. She was
a devoted wife and loving mother.
She was about 52 years old and
had lived in Houston county,
Georgia, for the past 14 years.
She leaves a husband and three
children to mourn heif death. All
that loving hands and a physician
could do, was extended tcJ her in
her last illness, bnt the time had
come for us to part from our lov
ed one. We all hope she has gone
to that mansions above where no
farewell tears are shed, where
sickness, sorrow, pain,death never
come. Oh? if her dear children
but had her back again. I am
afraid we children who have par
ents know not the value of their
love as those who have experienc
ed the loss of one of them. She
is gone, we hope, to that heaven
ly home. Never mdre are we to
hear her speak kind words of love
and comfort. But dear husband
and children, strive to do good,
and obey God’s kind laws that
you may meet her on the other
shore. • /■
Mourn not, dear children,
For the ono so dearly loved;
Let us hope shehas only gone,
To a better place above.

Indiana, so far as we know, is
the first state which has ever en
acted a law making proprietors of
saloons responsible in damages to
innocent sufferers from the effects
of liquor sold by them.
The Indiana supreme court in a
recent decision upholds this stat
ute.
In the caso upon which its de
cision was based one George Ho-
mire went home drunk, abused
one of his boarders vilely and pro
voked a fight in which he killed
the man who resented his insults.
Homire was tried, convicted of
manslaughter and sont to the pen
itentiary for twenty years.
It was proved that he had drunk
very heavily on the day of the
homicide and that one bar had
sold him many drinks after he
was already intoxicated. The
widow of the murdered man
brought suit against the owner of
that bar and fixed her damages at
$20,000. •
Counsel for the defendant en
tered a demurrer that the new law
did not apply in such cases and
the circuit court sustained the de
murrer. The plaintiff’s counsel
appealed and the supreme court
overruled the demurrer, declaring
that the sale of the liquor caused
the intoxication and the intoxica
tion the killing and that, there
fore, the owner of the saloon
where Homire got his liquor is lia
ble for the support of the widow
and children of Homire’s victim.
This is the first case of the kind
on record and has created quite a
sensation..

Talk about marketing eggs.
How is this for a town like Cen-
tralia? The Produce Company
ship two car loads each week to
eastern markets. Each car con
tains 400 cases and each case con
tains 30 dozen eggs, making a to
tal of 12,000 dozen eggs or 144,-
000 single eggs. Shipping out
228,000 eggs a week is no small
item, considering that they bring
10 cents a dozen, brings the sum
of $2,400 to the pockets of poultry
raisers. One day’s egg receipts by
this one firm was 560 cases. Be
sides this they ship a car load of
live poultry to New York each
week. It is quite an indnstry for
Centralia.—Gentralia Guard, Mis

He is A Wonder.
All who see-Mr. 0. F. Collier,
of Cherokee, Iowa, as he is now,
cheerful, erect, vigorous, without
an ache, could hardly believe he
is the same, who, a short time ago,
had to sit in a chair, propped up
by cushions, suffering intensely
from an aching back, in agony if
if he tried to stoop—all caused by
chronic kidney trouble, that no
medicine helped till he- used
Electric Bitters and was .wholly
cured by three bottles. Positively

leads off with this one: “A gen

clog which is especially good at
fetching things out .of the water.
In order to show a friend what the
dog could do, he thtew a fifty cent
piece into the water and told the
dog to fetch it. The dog dived
and brought back a two pound
catfih and 85 cents in change. ”

News comes from Nashville that
Emmett* Everett, the white man
who has been undergoing a change
of color for about three and a half
years, died Tuesday morning at
his home near Cecil, in this coun-
ty.
He was a young man about 21
years of age, and was a comely,
blue-eyed, fair-haired boy, when
suddenly and without warning the
metamorphosis began to take
place. His fair skin began* to take
a yellowish hue, then became dar
ker, until his death, at which
time he was a deep bronze color.
The complete change has baffled
the local medical fraternity, and
the theory has bf»en advanced by
one prominent physician that the
change of color was caused by the
inhalation of the fumes of wood
alcohol and its action upon the
kidneys. This position is support
ed by the fact that the young man
was for some time engaged in its
manufacture.
In like manner others advance
different theories, and it is also
thought that the cause which
brought on the change produced
his death.
This case will no doubt furnish
food for much scientific reflection
and speculation. But the strang
est thing about it is that the
change up to a month ago did not
seem to effect his general health.

A story is told of a farmer who
was approached by a man who
wanted to sell him a bicycle.
“Now is the time to buy,” said
the man, “bicycles were never
cheaper; I can let yon have one
for $35.” “I’d rather put the
money in a cow,” said the farmer.
“Oh, I know you could get a cow
for that money,” said the man;
“but think how foolish you’d look
riding around your farm on a
cow.” “’Well,” replied the farm
er, “I don’t know as I’d look any
foolisher doin’ that than tryin’ to
milk a bike.”
If people only knew what we
know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
it would be used in nearly every
household, as there are few people
who do not suffer from a feeling
of fullness after eating, belching,
flatulence, sour stomach or water-
brash, caused by indigestion or
dyspepsia. A preparation sueh as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,which,with
no aid from the stomach, will di
gest your food, certainly can’t

During one of Sam Jones’ ser
mons a young man got up and
started out of the church. Sam
paused in his sermon long enough
to say: “There goes a young man
to hell.” The young man turned
and asked: “What shall I tell
your grand-mother when I get
there?” Quick as a flash Sam re
plied: “Just growl and tell her
I’ve sent her a puppy.”
