E. Alward, formerly of this city, now

"unpacked" him.

be of fighting stock. Another brother
lost an arm in the service. Grandfather If orton served through seven
years of the Bevolution, fighting at
Bunker Hill and Trenton, and following Washington in the Pennsylvania
campaign and the sufferings of Yalley
Forge. He came out of the war a cap;
tain. The father of Charles and Alex
was a colonel in the war of 1812.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of,
your, love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them; the kind things you mean to
say when they are 'gone, say before
they go. The flowers you mean to
send for their coffins, send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away full of fragrant
perfumes of sympathy and affection
which they intend to break over my
dead body, I would rather they would
bring them out in my weary and troubled hours and open them, that I may
be refreshed and cheered by them
while I need them. I would rather
have a plain coffin without a flower, a
funeral without an eulogy, than a life
without the sweetness of love and
sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our
friends before hand for the burial.
Post mortem kindness does not cheer
i the burdened spirit. Flowers on the
1 coffin cast no fragrance backward over
j the weary way.

Referring to an item in last week's
Sentinel relating to the action of
the board of supervisors in moving a
reconsideration of amotion to allow
the account of G-. E. If ichols and the
decision of the chairman that a person voting in the minority may move
such reconsideration, we would say
that general parliamentary practice is
that only a person voting on the prevailing side, whether affirmative or
negative, may move a reconsideration.
In this instance the point is not material, as the board practically ratified
the decision by voting an allowance of
$50. We believe the error was unintentional, as the chairman, we understand, was oppbsed to allowing the account.
Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied: "In
my opinion the advertisements are far
from being the least valuable part of
it. I look upon them carefully and
save at least five times the cost of the
paper each week through the business
advantages I get from them.'* Said
the other; ' 'I believe you are right—I
know that they pay me well and rather
think it is not good taste to find fault
with the advertisements after all."
These men have the right i$ea of the
matter. It pays any man with a family to take a good local paper for the
sake of the advertisements, if nothing
more. And if business men fail to give
the farmers a chance to read advertisements in the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests, to say
the least of it. "You never trade with
me," said a business man to a prosperous farmer. "You have never invited
me to your place of business. I never
go where I am not invited, I might
not be welcome," was his reply.

Thedeath of Mrs. Elishaba Converse
occurred Friday, June 9, at 9 a. m. at
the residence of Mrs, Jennie Converse
of Yernon, where she has made it her
home for the past year.. She had been
confined to her bed only five days previous to her death. Mrs. Converse
was born at Saybrook, Conn., March
19,1803. When she was ten years of
age she moved with her parents to
Oneida county, If. Y.,where she spent
her girl-hood days in the society of her
brothers and sisters, who were ten in
number, together with those of her
futurehusband. She was converted
at the age of 24 and has since led a
consistent Christian life. March 5,
1833, she was united in marriage to her
late husband, T. D. Converse. Two
years later they moved to Jefferson
county of the same state* Two sons
blessed their union, J. A. and M. L.,
of whom only the former survives and
is now residing in Clare. In September, 1878, she, with: her husband, bade
farewell to their old home and came to
Clare to live with their sons, both
uniting' with the Congregational
church. In the church and out of it
she has formed many warm friends
who love and reverence her, not only
because she, was the oldest member of
the church, but because of her Christian-like deportment. These friends,
together with her relatives, showed
their love for her on'her 90th birthday,
by meeting her by surprise. From
that time she has slowly failed. The
funeral services were conducted at the
house by Rev, S. A. Long, pastor of
the Congregational church. The xe-
maihs were interred in Cherry (Grrove
cemetery beside her husband, Who
died nearly two years ago.

a very enjoyable entertainment and a
rich fund of information.
