The joint eoininittees apjiomted liy Walni'fttll Lode, No. T7.i, I. O. O. V, and Wushintrtou Camp, No. 470, P. O. S. of A., of New Grenada, Pa., on memorial resolutions respecting the death of Kdwurd A. Alloway, Past Grand and Past President, confess an unusual embarrassment in the dis charge of their duties. This has aris en in pai'l from the intimate relations we have personally sustained to the brother, and on account of his sudden untimely death In the explosion at Woodvale mines, on the morning of July 2lld, we feel a desire that our re port should voice if possible the trea sured sympathies and memories which have been hallowed by our Fraternal orders. Tbe desire to do something for mankind is te noblest ambition of man; it is the ambition of a true odd fellow and P. O. S. of A. It is the fate and noblest destiny, with rare exceptions, of the great and good, to work and let(others reap the harvest of their labors, to be repaid for servi ces with, at best, iuditTerence or cold Ingratitude. His influence lives, and the greut future will obey, we linger lovingly over his virtues. No man, no matter how Indifferent or how care less he may be, can stand beside the body of his friend, and brother wiili out feelings of sadness and thought ful rellections upon the changes so suddenly made when life escapes from the body. Thus do we mourn the ab sence of the familiar face, und we sor row, but they are only reminders oi our desolation, not that of our dead . When we too have solved the mystery of life, may we be able to gay, "fare well, dear brothers, we hope to meet you in that eternal home." Kdward A. Alloway was born in Wells Valley, September 3, 187:i, died July 2:i, 1IHXI, aged 32 years, 10 months aud 7 days; was admitted to member ship in Waterfall Lodge, I. O. O. F., July Zi, 11)01; wus a Past Grand and Past llepresentutlves; was a charter member of the Washington Camp P. O. S. of A., Instituted on Febuary 15,lHi., of which he us P. Pres.; was In good standing In both orders at lime of his death. The Lodge and Camp have lost a faithful and zealous brother; the community a good and useful citi zen; the home a loving husband and father. We extend our sympathy and helping hand to the bereaved family, pointing them to the giver of all good and precious gifts for succor, In this the dark hour of trouble und grief. A widow and four children are left to struggle alone through life broth er don't forget the motto : "Visit the sick, bury the deud, relieve the distress ed and educate the orphans." by res olution we drupe our charter in mourn ing for .'ID days, have them published in Fulton County News; record them in minute books of both orders, and send a copy to tho sereaved family. , J.

U. Simpson,, at lhckey's Mountain, post ollice, in Thomp son township. In putting in the wire it appears that the lightning arrester was put on the wrong wire and the lightning entered the house instead of going down the ground wire. Mrs. Simpson was sitting in the room at the time, and the shock was so great that it knocked her olf the chair, render ing her unconscious. It happened that lr. Sappington was in the neighborhood at the time und he was quickly summoned. He found Mrs. Simpson in a precarious con dition, her loft side being ellected, but by the use of restoratives she was reviyed and ut last accounts was doing well. The storm was an unusually heavy one and was accompanied by hail. No damage wus done the building except a part of a screen door was torn out. Mrs. Simpson made a very nar row escape. Had Dr. Sappington not been in the vicinity it is more than likely she would not have survived the stroke. Don't drag aloug with a dull, bilious, heavy feeling. You need a pill.
