the way for others to follow and

On Thursday night of August
tewenty fifth, the death angel
visited the home of Mr G. G. Neal
near Kathleen and carried from
him his precious wife'.
Mrs Neal was the oldest , child
of Mr aud Mrs W. D. Bachelor near
Perry. '*
She leaves to mourn her death a
devoted husband, two children
Marry Alice and Annie Kate, a
beloved mother and father, three
j brothers Mssrs. William, Ernest
and Francis; two sisters Misses.
Irene and Mary Lizzie. Also many
more relatives and friends.
, This is a bright glad, beautiful
world, fragrant with the odor of
-flowers, tuneful with the songs of
birds, resplendent with the
glories of earth and sea and sky,
and yet its attractions now pass un
noticed by, for grim merciless
death has appeared in your midst
and snatched from your' com
panionship one of your loved ones.
Your sky is hung' with black
and somber cloud curtains.
Your vision is O'er cast with
gloom of sorrow, and every sound
that strikes the ear is a candenee
of despair.
The only consolation that is
vouchsafed you is the sweet
realization of the fact that your
loved one is at peace.
As stated before your only
consolation is that your heart’s
idol has heard the words from thy
Father’s lips, ‘‘well done thou
good and faithful servant,”
Through all pain at times she’d
smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her
home.
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heavens retainith now our
treasure.
Earth the lonely casket keeps
And the sunbeams lore to
linger,
Where " our sainted mother
sleeps.

PERRY, GKOROfA.
[Fort Worth (Tex.) Star Tele*
graph.]
It would be comical, were it not
somewhat pathetic, the way news^
papor offices are besieged every
day by their friends, urging them
bo “roast” this and Uiat; to “see
to it” that this and that is cor'
rooted; to have this and that donff
in the city or county; to start this
and that kind of movement to cor*
rect evils in the state government.
These frionds actually appear tar
believe that it is the newspaper’s
business to handle ail these affairs.
But a seif respecting newspa*
per, though ready and willing to
carry all reasonable responsibility
must temind its readers that they*
the people—are tlio authority up*
on whom rests the responsibility
for the present state of affairs local
state and national.
A self-respecting newspaper
tries to report the news of what
actually happens, not what 18
might wish had happened. Thcr
relation of a self-respecting news
paper to the general public is not
always understood. It is the duty
of a newspaper to be in a position
to support any good act and criti
cize any bad act of public policy.
This relationship cannot exist
where favors are asked and grant
ed. Honesty is the only policy for
a newspaper.
If objectors don’t like the way
things are going, tbey should
qualify as voters, and then raise
cain about it.
