HIS SUFFERING ARB O'ER.
After Two Years of Intense Suffering
Craig A. Reynolds Esplre4.
At4.00 p. M., Wednesday,. Mareh .10th,
Craig A. Reynolds, youngest mm of Mr.
and Mrs. S. T. Reynolds, died at the
home of bis parents, aged 'i years, A
months and 27 days. It Is seldom that
one so yoHng suffers as long aw did this
boy. Two years ngo Inst Jainary lie
had the measles, which resulted In
pneumonia and then tuberculosis fol
lowed, Had he also had catarrhal
trouble lit the stomneh. The tuber
culosis msile Its nppoaraiire In, his right
kneuand thin In his right hip. His
death was tho result of general tuber
culosis. The boy suffered almost con
stantly for two years, Ronurtimc his
suffering was terrlhle, and yet through
It all he was very patient. Ho whs con
fined to his bu! twenty weeks hoforn thn
angel messenger called for him. Wlillo
confined to the house Craig took up
fancy work and wasiiill4i skillful In It.
He could make very pretty dollies, etc.
lie was quite a bibly student for one
of his age. Three monthsago be joined
tho Presbyterian church. Ho often
talked about dying and whom they
would bury Mm. Ho was not afraid to
dlo. He said he thought It would
bn sweet to die, It Is not much won
der that ho thought it would bo
sweet to havo Ms frail, pain-racked
laxly laid to rest beneath tho sod and
havo his spirit soar into thn joys of the
Eternal Land.
Throe weeks before death Craig made
his will, milking disposition of his watch,
dollies and a few other earthly
possessions.
Funeral services were held In tho
Presbyterian church at 2.00 p. M., Fri

A Word About the Cuban Situation.
To 1st sure, this country of ours is
always for peace and never for war; and
It should do everything possible to avoid
war, In so far as war Is honorably avoid
able. It Is triio that there Is such a
thing as a just war; but such a battle
can never bo a moan dog fight over a
Initio, but must havo for its object the
freedom or protection from an oppres
sive and merciless enemy.
That Cuba. In its sore struggle for
freedom from foreign oppression. Is en
titled to our sympathy and practical
aid goes for the saying. But for tho
United States to Intervene In favor of
Cuba would, In all probability, lead to a
war with Spain, and such a struggle
might produce a new situation even
more deplorable than the present ono
In Cuba. The doctor, in his efforts to
cure an old disease, should Im on his
guard against producing a new one by
too drastlo a remedy.
The dost met Ion of the Maine has been
charged to Spain and that country has
Insulted our Hag, but let ho ono make
tho mistake of supposing that a coun
try's true honor In such a time, consists
In prompt revongo. Vengeance must
not bu mistaken for patriotism. In the
case of a crime committed by an Indi
vidual, tho law culls for HMicdy punish
ment and which can very readily bo
indicted upon tho offender; but when a
whole country Is involved wo havo quitu
a different matter to deal with. Ono
country cun punish another country only
by going to war. In such a caso It is
sometimes tho bettor part of patriotism,
wisdom and valor to buy tho peace with
money, or to keep it for a price, and
not to plunge into ono another's blood
like a pair of snarling curs. I. A. S.
An Easter Word From Mr. Dean.
DKAH Fhiknds: I bellevo that there
are thoso In our community who are
sincere doubters of tho truths of Chris
tianity, and especially its corner-stone
truth, tho resurrection of Christ. If
Christianity Is what It professes to bo
it should meet the need of every honest
skeptic. I heartily bellevo that tho
evidence that Christ rose from tho dead
Is such as to muke It unreasonable to
doubt. It Is because all do not agree
with me that I have thought It wise to
give my reasons for believing that
Christ rose from the dead and was thus
proven the Son of God, our Saviour, on
Sunday nlgbt at Centennial hall. Let
me urge those who are sincere In their
opnneltion to the Bible to meet with us
at that time. Knowing well the high
esteem In which many of my skeptical
townsmen are rightly held, and being
personally acquainted with many of
them, I the more earnestly ak them to
give what I believe to be the truth a
hearing. The subject for the evening
will bo: "Why I Know Christ Roso from
the dead." The service will begin at
7.30 o'clock
Lost $28.00.
G. W. Bussard lost $28.00 In paper
monoy between Reynoldsvllle and Big

75 cents. According to the Brookvillo
Jkmtiertit our peoplo huve been paying
25 cents more on thu medium and 40
cents more on tho largo lock-boxes than
the rate has been elsewhere. Even
with the increased rates the rate
here now is In cent- more on the
medium and 25 cents more on the
large boxes than It is at other places.
We can't see what right the Postotilee
Department has to make the rate any
higher here than at any other office in
the country.
