Base Ball Notes.
The Giblies and Union nines crossed

were: Lawsonaud Alexander for Gibl>-*

special feature of the game was three
double plays by Gibbon1 nine. The visitors
also did some fine Holding but Union
is hard to tieat.
The Shelton nine, not satisfied with
their drubbing of the fore part of the
week, locked horns with Union again

Obituary.
Mr. J. .J. Bubo died at. his home in
! Sedalia, S. <5 , A'ncast 17, 11101. Axe
' thirty-nine ye.ws and nine months. ,
When h young uia? he irnw hi? heart ???
1 God aiid uid.ed wi;h th- P dgeU'sCn k
Bapri't cl?u eh. He eve* lived a consistent
christian life, (lis eickueas was
prolonged many weary weeks but his sufferings
w. re borne with uninurtnering
patie ee aud fortitude to the end.
He leaves two brothers, three sisteis
and many other near relatives to mourn
hisd-vh, but it is* sweet consolation
to them to know that be has entered into
rest.
Why should our tears in sorrow fl >w,
When God recalls his own,
And bids them leave a world of woe,
For an immortal crown?
Is not even death again to those
Whose life to God was giv? n?
Gladly to life they close their eyes
To open tli- ui in heaven.
Their to:ls are past, thnir work is done
And they are fully blest;
They fought the light, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
His remains were laid to rest, in the
Padgett's Cieek cemetery. May his
christian example ever be an inspiration
to lis to live .such a life that it may oe said
of us too, "Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God."

Mr. Editor:?Everybody seems sad
on account of the assassination of the
IVeeident. When the news reached us
1 heard it remarked that it. was not an
American and sure enough it was not.
Thia emigration business thiols the
icum of the earth among us. I wish
that the edict could now go forth for the
extermination of all such, and let it continue
until all of those vamp-on that. n??w
enjoy the heriing'- of our forefathers
shtoped out from among ns and change
the word emigration and let us have a
government of Americans, a people
.whose (?<>d is the I^ird.
