Report of committee on deceased

the early morning of May 31st, 1899,
after an illness of nearly a year, the
spirit of Dr. Benjamin 8heats Bent¬

TRIBUTE FROM A FRIEND.
Please allow me space in vour
valued paper to offer a short tribute
of respect to the memory of Dr. Ben
Sheats Bentley. A worthy son of a
noble sire, “suns peur, sans re
proche.” I knew him when a little
prattler around the family hearth¬
stone; I knew him as the sprighly first
school boy, whose “youngidea I
taught to shoot;” 1. knew him as the
skilled, self sacrificing physician, toned
and I knew him as the high
Christian gentleman, before whom
the tongue of scandal stood abashed;
in a word, I knew him as one “in
whom all the elements did combine
to t>^ give the world assurance of a
man, and one in ’whose demise the
world is better from his having lived
in it, and though his meridian, sun has set the. ere
it culminated its yet
halo of his exemplary life will con¬
tinue a benediction to his family
and friends until they meet him be¬

“Papa,” said the youthful student
of history, “is an ultimatum the last
word?” “No-o, not exactly; that is,
not always,” replied the old gentle
man. “You see, there are circmn
stances under which a man may give
an ultimatum to a woman—his wife
for instance—but, of course, that
doesn’t mean that he will have the
last word; not by a good deal.”

Our office was invaded the other
night,
The burglar gave us a terrible fright;
We had neither a pistol nor a gun,
What could we do but strike out
and run ?
We struck the road with both feet
And fairly flew up the main street;
All you folks who accuse us of being
a tired cuss
Would hardly think there was so
much run m us.
We finally got tired out and deter¬
mined to return
And see if we could the burglar’s
face discern;
We sneaked in the office as quiet as
a cat
And found the intruder to b? a big
