And sink lik- the innocent child to rest. An.1 feel ours-ives clasped to the Infinite breast." Thus over the happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen; and, as another has said, it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can throw. This beautiful baby life was so precious, so fraught with blessing to her parents that she seemed a flower of Paradise per. mitted to bloom for a brief sea son by their side, then recalled to its nature skies, leaving the earth road for them dark and lonely indeed. .,And when the messenger :ame from tie unseen lands to laim the dainty darling as his, wn:. "Sheonly crossed .her little hands, th'In lockeed ipore meek and fair, Wer pirted back her gilken hair. We4 wdre tne roses round her brow, Wite buds, the summers drifted snow, Wrapt her.from2 head to foot it' flowers, And thus she went out of this world of ours" Thie remains were interred at he family-.burving ground, Rev.

New York It is a well known fact that a plow to work successfully in any soil must be built to meet all the conditions that are pe culiar to the ground in which the plow is to be used. The first plows that came into this locality were not the successes that our up-to-date plows are now. They were, indeed, very crude as compared with them. We have kept a very strict watch on the plow business. We have made it an especial study. We have made it our business to study all the different makes that come into this locality. Therefore, after having seen all the plows work, ob serving every little detail, things that would escape the notice of most men, it is not to be wondered at that we know the plows that do the best work. Having found the right plow, we secured the exclusive agency for it. This plow is the CHATTANOOGA The makers of this plow fully guarantee the working qualities of it. They are the men that not only know how to make plows, BUT MAKE THEM. No matter what you want, you can get it in the CHATTANOOGA.. To the makers' guarantee we add our personal guarantee. to give you entire satisfaction. If it does not, all we ask is that you. return it to us. It does not cost you a penny if you are not pleased.
