MANY FARM AND PBRSONAL NOTES.
The year is coming to a close and
much farm work which should have been
sions this year wiil have to be carried
over for. another year. Winter weath
er came on earl> and unexpectedly and
caught many wood piles aa empty as
the mid-summer. Then hoa; killing was
necessary, and that took time, But we
ought to thank the Lord that He has
spared us another year, and with the
approaching 1911 turn over a new leaf,
and strive to be more uaeful as we grow
older.
Mrs. T. R. Bevis, who went to a hos
pital in Washington for treatment some
few months ago, haa returned, a little

Our roads are badly in need of work,
as there are some very bad holes at

very little work can be done on them.
We have a heavy road tax to pay and
it looks like our roads ought to be kept

looks better, eats better and keeps
betler. Shoats are high in this com

It'a wise for every farmer to keep one
brood aow to raise from and not let
the stock run down. Pay more atten

a plenty meat and lard.

IN MEMORIAM.
Seymour?In memory of my dear
mother, Jane T. Seymour, who departed
thia life 18th of December, 1894,16 years
ago.
My mother ia sleeping,
How sweet the reat
That now ia her'a beyond the wave,
Beyond the atorms that wiidly rage,
She sweetly sleeps and she is blest.
How sweet to steal away from atrife
And aleep on nature's breaat,
To leave a weary troubled life
And go to endless rest.
How sweet to lay the burden down
That here a cross waa given,
And bear the crown of life away
And live e'er more in Heaven.
Dear mother, in thy home above,
I could not wish you here,
For you are safely aheltered home,
Secure from every fear.
Alone unto our Father'a wdl,
One thought has reconcilcd,
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Has taken home Hia child.
Fold her, 0 Father, in thine arma
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love
Between our human hearts and Thee.
By her loving daughter,
Annie.
Died Thursday, November 24, 1910,
httle Ruby Harper, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. F. Harper, of Ottoman,
aged one year and eleven months.
Yes, our darling babe has left ua,
Gone to return no more.
But her sweet amiles and loving ways
willstill live in our memory.
Yes, she has gone but never to be for
gotten,
But w* know that God had need
Of another little angel in His Kingdom,
And called her to Him.
Our losa is Heaven's gain.
We muat aay "Thy will be done."
Sweet little darling, light of our home,
Looking for Papa, beckoning, come,
Bright as a aunbeam, pure as the dew,
Anxiously looking, Mother, Mother, for
you.
