town Tuesday. Mowery says
that there is no question but that
the people of Fulion county may
now have a railroad if they are
willing to do the square thing.
The only thing that stands be
tween us and a railroad is the
"right of way," and those who
have it in their power to grant it
or withhold it, have the bringing
in, or keeping out of a railroad.

A large white oak tree cut down

Smithfield township, Monroe
county, several days ago meas
ured four feet in diameter and
contained 175 rings on the stump.

among other things, have resolv

ing is considered the chief evil,
smoking and chewing come next,
while the young women assert
that when a man does not take
the home paper It is evidence of a

Birthday. Party.
Last Saturday was Mrs. Clay
ton Deshong's birthday. As it
was not the first one she had had,
she was not bothering herself
much about it; and as the did not
feel very well, she, after getting
her work done in the morning,
went up stairs and lay down for a
little rest. She was just swing
ing off into a nap, whsn she was
aroused by a noise of shu filing
feet and banging around down
stairs, that made her think her
house had been invaded by a com
pany of pack peddlers. Down
she went with the intention of
clearing them all out in a short
shake, when, to her surprise, the
room was filled with her friends,
whose smiling faces and kindly
greetings made her forget all
about "that tired feeling." O,
well, her friends had come to
celebrate her birthday. They
had brought along lots of good
things to eat, and they had
brought along good appetites,
and when dinner time came there
was a feast that would have caus
ed a hobo to fall down and give
up the ghost.
Those present were: Jefferson C.

DEATH IS PAINLESS.
It Comes as Naturally and Is as Welcome
I as Sleep.
The fear of death, which has
' Knfu. A f f.nnHin.iiinln nui.l.nlnrl i .
' 1-1 OKI CI1U1 IIJUUBljr 1U
dramatic literature, eacred and
otherwise, is said to be almost
without existence in sickness.
Most patients have lost it com
pletely by the time they become
seriously ill. "
Death and sleep are both pain
less, according to Dr. Woods
Hutchinson in the American Mag
azine, and cause neither fear nor
anxiety by their approach. It is
one of the most merciful things
in nature that the overwhelming
majority of the poisons which de
stroy life, whether they are those
of infectious diseases, or those
which are elaborated from tho
body's own waste products, act
as narcotics tnd abolish consci
ousness long before the end
comes.
While death is not in auy sense
analogous to sleep, it resemoles
it to the extent that it is in the
vast majority of instances not on
ly painless but welcome. Pain
racked and fever scorched pati
ents Jong for death as the weaned
sailor longs for sleep.
While many of the processes
which lead to death are painful,
death itself is painless, natural,
like the fading of a flower or the
falling of a leaf. Our dear ones
drift out on the ebbing tide of
life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those
they leave behind. When death
comes close enough so that we
can see the eyes behind the mask,
his face becomes as welcome as
that of his "twin brother" 3leep.
What Washington Was.
He was a noble patf iot.
He was a leader of men.
He was a famous general.
He was our first President.
He was revered for his good
ness.
He was a model to whom all
succeeding Presidents have look
ed.
He was quick to see an oppor
tun'ty to serve the nation.
He was a farmer, and he pre
lerred life on his big estate at
Mount Vernon to life as a soldier
He was a uative of Westmore
land county, Va., where he was
born February 22, 1732, and
where he passed his childhood.
He was a pupil of a tutor nam
ed Mr. Hobby, who afterward
proudly said that it was he who
"between his knees laid the foun
datioii of George Washington's
greatness."
He was very fond of athletic
sports both as a boy and as a
man; and stories are told of his
prowess by men who spoke in
the same breath of his great kind
ness of heart and of his gentle
ness.
He was so strong that when
hunting wild animals for food he
could use a heavy fowling piece
which not one man in a thousand
could fire without a rest, but he
could hold it at arm's length and
blaze away.
He was a hue horseman; there
was no animal he could not mat
ter; he never lost his seat in the
saddle. His pleasure was in the
exercise and recreation of riding
and in the excitement of the hunt,
not in killing the poor fox.
He was so proficient in mathe
matics that be was made public
surveyor at 10. But he was not
to remain a surveyor; at 19 he
was commissioned a maior bv
tbeGovernor and placed in charge
or a military district.
He was as tine looking in youth
as m manbuod, being manly, tall
tr than b'.ys of his age and well
built. He was fair, with gray
blue eyes. As a man he was very
tall and dignified. It takes a man
of great height to wear the clothes
that Washington used to wear.
