This country has been blessed the
past few days with a most bountiful
rain which not only made the people
feel good but was just In time to save
the corn. Early corn was hurl just a
little but late corn was just In tine
shape to have the s'eady rain which
was received. Cotton will be the fin-
est ever seen in this territory. After
the rain yesterday It turned warm and
cotton could almost be seen growing
inch by inch. If nothing happens we
will have a bountiful harvest this year.
A week ago Tuesday night there

In Memoriam.
A thousand pities that we do not
write the obituary, speak the eulogy of
the sacred dead while they are living
and thereby help prolong their lives.
It were far better to strew a rose in
the pathway of the living than to wait
and place it on the graves of the dead.
Wm. McClintoc Hunt was born in
Bourbon county, Kentucky, In 1862.
In 1865 he moved to Missouri, when
he was 20 years old he made the
"good confession" and thus became a
member of the Christian church. He
passed away on July 21, 1904. These
are the imperial mile stones along the
great highway of our brother's life.
"Know ye not that a prince and a
great man is fallen in Israel?" He
was truly a great man and a noble-
man of God's kingdom. How big
with sympathy and charity and kind-
ness was his heartl To him went
many with their financial proplexities,
and for each one he had a sunny smile
and a message of hope and a solution
of their problem. He kept young to
the last and to the last he kept a sweet
temper. "He was a man, take him
all in all, we ne'er shall look upon his
like again."
Who shall say how much we will
miss a man of his calibre, his poise qf
head and heart? In the heart of
finance and temple of God, there are
vacant places which will be hard to
fill. He has gone, but we are better
prepared to live, for having known that
sunshiny life, which ever casts the
radiance of its love over all. We will
never forget his goodness, and we will
ever feel the power of that influence
which will pulsate on and on through
all life's ramflcation, to bless and up-
lift mankind. Adelphos.
