Brethren of the medical profes sion, another of our number has been gathered to the Father. Not i long since the venerable Dr. J. K. 8 Kneece, who was th9 eldest of our f number in the county, died suddenly after a loDg and useful career. Now we are called upon to mourn the loss f( of Dr. T. S. Fox, another able pby- ^ sician, and with the exception of one, c he was the oldest member of our Q - Ji- l _ rru, proiession id me couuiy. jluu-, , ^ you see, they are one by one s being called upon to cease their g( ministrations to the sick and af- f( dieted and their comforts and re'i f 0 to the dying and their consolations 0 to the bereft "They are falling by Cl the wayside" by the sickle of death, C and are hurled into the vast eternity," $ "from which, whenever bourne, no E traveler has ever been known to re- t! turn." These good meD, two noted phjsi- ? cians in their respective comm unities and throughout the county, have ! ceased their pilgrimage on earth? li< have ceased their ministrations and ci reliefs to then conhdeDt patients? w have ceased their toils through heat w of summer's suds?through the winter's cold and chilling blasts; often to a! administer relief of pain and comfort d, and cure the sick, which was done sj with a charitable hand, the many rej cipients of which can be counted by I numbers and will testify that this is | a truth. These noted and faithful men have ! called to our mind "The History of y. I the Country Doctor", (a book which ca every physician and every patient ^ should read) and some of the noted D( j scenes pictured therein?one especi| ally presented and photographed '~ ; where the old country doctor, when called a distance in the country at night during a severe snow storm which had so covered the road that his trusted and faithful animal fell and buried him aod her deep in the i snow from which he extricated him- j self, and taking his faithful beast by the bridle, assisted her to her feet again, she walked limp and lame I from the fall, but he, when in the - "I ?.rr: TVfzw ? j suuuie agniu, oaiu. j_li auu. i Sdllie is sick and suffering pain and she will be expecting us and John will be looking for us, wc must go ! to their relief." These two have gone, not considc-r- j iug home comforts, but leaving warm [ hearthstones, have braved the win. tor's storm at midnight and went to the relief of many because thev were the trusted family physician. How often have they been looked for 1 i and met and welcomed by different j members of so many different families on stormy nights, "with lantern | in hand to guide them to the door! way to lead the faithful and trusted and shivering animal to the shelter j and give it an extra feed for its faith- | fulness to bring the eld doctor cut ; safe on such a night." These are j not over drawn scenes, but to our j own knowledge are true, and, too, j \ have often been done as acts of \ j charity; but today we hope they are j reaping their just rewards, and how i many cf the recipients of their chari- I ties will honor their memories and i hand down to posterity the praises j that were due them while living? ei Brothers of the medical profes- .

"We have been the recipients of their i skillful treatment and their number- , less charities. "My doctor is gone." "He was a friend, a father and a councellor to me." Shall the same ! be said of us?

The other day in one of the pubs schools, as a lesson in mental exerse, all of the pupils in the school ere required to answer what they ould buy if they were given a dolr to spend. After many others had iswered, naming the usual toys and ssires cf children, a small boy of x made tne surprising statement: "1 would buy Billy a wife." "And who is Billy?" asked the surrised teacher. "Billy is my man doll," he replied. It seems that the boy has a doll aired in ma?e clothes, and, as in the ise of Adam in the garden of Eden, ie youngster has decided that "it is )t well for man to be alone."
