Longshore, aged 73 years, died of pellagra after five weeks illf ness at her home in the Trinity section, on Friday morning at 11 o'clock, and was buried at Trinity on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, service by the Rev. 0. A. J-effcoat. The pall bearers were her grandsons as follow:* ITnp-h Ma rein and Rnv Lone snore, Gus and Lee Dennie and Mad Paysinger. Throughout her life Mrs. Longshore j held the reputation of being well be- j loved not only by her very large num- i ber of relatives and family connections, but by the community generally, and by all who knew her and they were many. No one had more sincere friends, and the secret of it is "she was a sweet old lady/' as some one * remarked in- speaking of her death. She carried the sweetness of hei; youth tp the years of her old age and held the hearts of her friends. "Rpsiries her husband, she is surviv ed by the following sons and daughters: M. J. Longshore, of No. 7 township; W. E. Longshore, of Trinity section; Mrs. N. Y. Dennis, of Mollohon; T. Cothi-an Longshore, of Utopia, > and Mrs. E. L. Paysinger, of the city. She is also survived by about 25 j grandchildren and about eight great grandchildren. The husband who has lost a good wife and the children who have lost a devoted mother in the one who has gem to her great reward after having successfully reared a large family of children have the sympathy of ail in their bereavement. But she has only gone on to take up life with her children "over there." Policeman Stone Resigns. Change is the order of the day. One man does a thing, another follows 9 /"x ?- ? ?

Wick-1 er know how to sell the Harley-David-! sons and He nas also naa some experience in handling the mails, con-! sequently it is not altogether new to him and will come easy. Like Mr. Berley in his position Po-; liceman Stone was making a reputa- j tion and it goes without saying that he will be alright where.he is. , A tfear-Serlor* Accident In attempting to swing the down C., N. & L. freight to the junction I tr/Mla rt-n wnv tn his work" at 'the !

D., fjr a il-arge of ten cents, ac; cording to information and instructions received tb? local postoffi**. me a a en: 10 iJ a i <-osi or ten cents, 10 be paid in i ai ri post stamps will also include the charge of insuring the park ago, to &a amount not exceeding I VoO. 1 Th- co'lpcffon for packeges through I jthe po? cfSre system, is a decidedly new feature of postal work, and nat- [ urally its adoption in connection with the parcels post is somewhat of an ; ?i - ii -4 u!?i. _;*i experiment, tne result 01 wmun wm i be watched with considerable interest. Packages thus sent C. 0. D. ! may be sent only from a money order office, and only to a money order office. The amount to be collected cannot exceed $100 on any one package. Remittance by Money Order. I The remittance to the sender of " tbp; package will be by money order. I When the addressee receives the I package, he signs a receipt, which is considered as his application for a m/~.-riQT7 nvr?or fnr tho smrmnf for upon the package. With this re- | ceiept application the postmaster makes out a money order for the amount and returns it to the sender of the package. While the instruc# tions so far received do not give specific information upon this point, ft is believed that the remitting paAy will have to pay the regular money, order fees upon the amount so remitted. Can't Examine Package. | One feature about C. 0. D., business which would be carefully noted, is that he addressee will not be permitted to examine the package be^' fore paying for it He will not be given an opportunity to examine it until he has paid his money and been given a receipt. This preclueds the possibility of sending a package subject to examination through the C. 0. D., Method. If the receiving party p ! finds after he has gotten the pack- J Vio Hnoc nnt want tn acceDt j uat UV/ uww MW ?. w? | it, he cannot then refuse payment. If he declines to accept the package ; at all, it must be before the payment ;is made. I Contemporary History. The teacher in the country school decided to have each one of her pupils draw some of their lessons that they [might have some practice in this direction, says Harper's Bazaar. She therefore recited the story of the landing of the Pilgrims, and after she had finished she asked that each pupil draw from his or her own idea a picture of Plymouth Rock. The majority went to work, but one little boy hesitated and finally raised his hand. "What is it, George?" "Please ma'am, what do you want us to draw, a hen or a rooster?" n_.? _i Vvwi/lol T\o T"f TT otlH TiPT* EjW cXL l-Xi-U v>aiu Uiiuai ycL*. \,j ajj.v* house guests at a buffet dinner on Tuesday. / i - . .
