_lnthe death of little Maudie
bonc& ight of Feby, 26tk
from the ho buarns received
in the morning of that day, the
family, the school, the com
munity, has lestone of. its most
lovaole thli. '
Mapdie was the leading spirit
in school, bright and diligent in
all her work, and our hearts are
saddened to have her snatched
from us in the bloom of life.
But, Tdo not think that God
gives us loved ones to cherish
and learn to love sodearly here
and then take them to himself,
‘aever to let us reeconize each tne
other again. = One of heavens
sweetest charms is the blessed
hope we have of again knowing
and being reunited with ourloved
ones in the “Home of the sou".
She said to deaths upliftod dart
. “Aim sure’’-=why do delay?
Thou wilt not find a fearful heart,
E A weak reluctant prey. iy
‘Then oh, with such a freezing, aye,
And with that scorched sweet
13 cheeli;
3he trusted onl!y in God on high,
.~ And calmly did she spealk.
She, then unfurled her snowy
wings,
~ To join the heavenly throng;
And, raised tp the skieg those
f weakened eyes,
~ Tosing her lpftiest sang.
In that dark hour was no repose,
~ For the troubled bosoms near;
For there she lay—-that beautiful
| rose,
without those stransof golden
‘ hair. '
i‘ Tho’ she has returned to mogher
dust,
To the father.above who gave;
We will plant—yes, each of us~-
Our sweetest flower ;on Mau
? die’s grave,
Aund she’ll be fairer when we see
her,
Standing at the judgement
bar; )
For no guilt, nor sin, nor sorrow,
Will there her beauty mar,
By a Schoolmate.
Kindly Refused."
To The Foremar. and Grand Ju
roxs «f Jeff Davis County:
Kind Friends: I see from
your General Presentments that
you have donated mea monthly
allowance of five dollars per
month out of the county funds.
I;am very thankful foryour kind
ly counsideration, but must say,
in justice to myself and family,
that % do’ not need the money,
and therefore cannot take it, as
Ido not need it. Respectfully,
Mrs. Amanda Williams,
‘This. March'B,.l9o9.
While Dr. R. H. Green was
out hunting on Mr. John A. Ter
rell's place on Morday last, he
had.a close call from being bit
ten by a large rattle-snake. Ad
vanging coutiously, while the
dogs stood at a point, the omi
rous rattle and a simultaneous
leap.of the snake—warded off hy
the drooping gun barrel—gave
the Doctor such a fright as does
not come often toa hunter. It
was a narrow escape, for the
snake’s leap of three feet to reach
its victim might liave succeeded
but for the stroke of the
gun-barrel. [t is gratifying to
know the Doctor killed the
snake.
Don’t Run
