George Paul, who took his flight from this world, to a purer, better land, on the morning of Feb. 10th, was an honorary mem ber of the Woman’s Foriegn Mis sionary Society of Perry M. E. church. When ho joined the so ciety, 8 years before, he did so with a purpose, not as many do, interested for the moment, then become indifferent, and drift out; he was always interested, and ready to respond to our calls, for dues or special offerings. His zeal for missions was so great that, although he was a busy, active elder in the Presbyterian church, he could still find time to help in the enterprises of other church es, therefore be it resolved: 1st. That in the death of our dear Brother,we have lost a faith ful friend, and an earnest mem ber, whose willing liberal offer ings will be sadly missed. 2nd. That as a society we hon or his memory, because of his Godly life, and strive earnestly to emulate his examble in faithful- to duty. 8rd. That we herewith extend our sincere sympathy to the be reaved family, and pray that they may all be remitted in the home above. 4th. That a coppy of these res olution,be spread upon our record, be furnished the family and pub lished in the county paper. Respectfully sigued. Mrs. S. D. Rogers, Mrs. F. M. Houser, Committee.

The Moral Boundary Line. There is a narrow line which separates virtues from vices, ex cellent qualities of character from ruinous faults, says the Saturday Evening Post. It is drawn straight through moderation. There econ omy becomes miserliness, gener osity becomes prodigality, pru dence becomes cowardice and courage becomes rashness. It is singular how many .vices are simply the excess of virtues. Justice may run into severity and mercy into softness. Tolerance has not far to go to degenerate into xbsolute indifference and faith is easily carried into credu lity, superstition. Possibly it would hardly be cor rect to say that many people are too good, but it is a fact that many otherwise gracious and lov able souls are void of that whic h makes goodness itself to be de sired—that is, moderation. There must be a balance of vir tues, a proper moral perspective. A man who is too straight leans over backward. The strenuous life is in danger of becoming the lawless, the violent. We argue subconsciously, “If a thing is good, the more the better.” But too much freedom is license, too much exercise is waste, too much zeal is fanaticism, too much light is blindness.—Selected. A VALUABLE MEDICINE. For Coughs and Colds la Children “I have not the slightest hesi tancy in recommending Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds,” says Chas. M. Cramer, Esq., a well known watch maker, of Colombo, Ceylon. “It has been some two years since the City Dispens'ary first called my at tention to this valuable medicine and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medi cine, and they are all as well pleased as myself over the re sults,” For sals by all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe Ryron • Germany has recently taken statistics of the beer production and consumption of the empire. During last year the production amonnted to a little more than 1.860.000. 000 gallons. There were 15.000. 000 gallons imported. The consumption amounted to an av erage of 182.2 quarts per capita fur the empire, or something more than 83 gallons for each man, wo man and child during the twelve months. This seems to show that the German is still a lover and good drinker of beer. A Raging, Roaring Flood Washed down a telegraph line which Chas. C. Ellis, of Lisbon, la., had to repair. “Standing waist deep in icy water,” he writes, “gave me a terrible cold and cough. It grew worse daily.

Now there is talk of a candy trust; not, however, to make a specialty of the crystallized fruits and cosily bonbons of the rich, but to control the manufacture and sale of the taffy and lollipops that are purchased by the poor. When the trust gets in control of the poor child’s candy supply, there will be less of pure sugar and more of adulterants in the sweets that may be purchased with the child’s few available pennies.
