ouaaay, April 8, lyuu, win long be reinemoorea by tiio citizens iu and around' Darlington as ilie saddest day of our niscory. Wnue we may become accustomed to tbe buriai oi the dead, and attend tne occasional funeral of a friend or neignbor without.giving tne matter much tnought, .yet we were wholly unprepared for buch sights as we witnessed on this Sabbatb day. First came tbe .procession from near Garfield bearing tbe remains of Abel Cox, one of the oldest settlers in tbe county, a man wno had lived his allotted time, a little over three score and ten. His work was done, his labor finished, and be-called to his reward, and was laid to rest in the Friends' cemetery, just east of town. A little later another procession approached from the south, bringing the remains of Minnie Buchanan Vannice, she having died in the prime of life, her work seemingly just begun, the mother of six children, a much needed helpmate to her husband, a stout, robust and healthy looking woman taken from her family at a time when those little children so much need the care of a mother. We koked at the husband, surrounded by those four little brighteyed boyB, the oldest of the family, his eyes red from weeping., and they were scarcely realizing the awfal fate that has befallen them. Tears came to oar eyes and we turned from the scene only to see many wet faces in tbe crowd as the pall bearers .gently bear the remains of mother into tbe Presbyterian church, where Rev. A. S. Buchanan preached to tbe largie congregation assembled to bear and pay this last tribute of respect to this good BiBter, whom many bad known all her life, ae 6he was born, grew to Womanhood, married and died in this community. After services she was laid away in the I. O O F. cemetery. Just as the Presbyterian church bell ceased to toll its funeral notes the east Christian church bell peeled forth its tones announcing eoother funeral coming, and we look to the west and a large concourse of people come bearing tbe remains of the entire family of Jason Phelps with the exception of himself. How changed the scene from that of a few minuteB before. As the pall bearers go forward with this casket we realize that it contains all that is near and dear to poor heart-broken Jason, as we know in that casket lie the remains of wife and two infant children. We ask oureelf the questibn, is it not the better that we lose all than 'that part be taken and only part remain? And we can only say that God works in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. Here again was this woman stricken down in the prime of life. While we can see where she was so mu needed, yet we can see this day that God's ways are not our ways at all times. Rev. Creighton preached the funeral diecourse, while the crowd at this church was such that not more than one-half got inside, after which the remains were placed in tbe I. O O F. cemetery. With the exception of Memorial day such a crow«f was never seen in this cemetery. The two graves were close together. The procession left the Presbyterian church a few minutes prior to the one at the east Christian church, so that the procession going west on Main street was a continuous one, and as both were unusually large ones the sight was most peculiar and laffecting. As we write this we cannot but think of Will Vannice with his Bix children, the oldest a little less than nine years old, and the youngest a babe, all motherless. Jason Phelps in his loneliness, all gone, we can but wonder why. oh why, do such thing come to us. While there were but three funerals, five bodies were buried, two infants but a day old, convincing ail that death is no respecter of age or persons, as on this day we see the dead infant, the young and middle aged mother, the aged father, all pay the same debt.

David Myers and family return their
His wedding day his funeral day. Last Friday morning the neighborhood was sadly shocked to hear about the death of Elmer Myers, which was caused by taking carbolic acid Elmer was born Feb. a, 1882 took his life April
0,
1900, aged 18 years,
montbs and 4 days. The funeral services were conducted at the residence by Rev. Daugherty, of Yountsville.and the remaiDS were laid to reBt in the Masonic cemetery at Crawfordsville. The very large attendance at the fun eral which was at half past nine Sun day, attested better than mere words the etiteem in which he w&b held in the community. It is hard, indeed, to think that one just in the bloom of youth should bo forced So early to lie down tp reBt before half of the journey on earth is done. At home, dear boy, your folks will sadly miss you. He was always kind and had a good word for everyone, and as his folks gaze at the vacant seat around the table, they realize that one is ab«ent Death has plucked from the family circle a fair flower—the pride of a father and the hope of a mother. Elmer has passed from all earthly cares into a land of repose and loving forget-me-not, there to baek in the beautiful light of a Saviour's lore— there to live in happiness, peace and sweet security, there to walk in green paBtures amid fiowerlets of love, there among angels to sing and dwell, waiting for father, mother brother and sister to guide them through the Valley of the Shadow of Death into sweet rest. Father, mother, weep not for him who has gone before, but rather rejoice for his gain of a beautiful beyond the veil of the future, and "bo live that when thy summons comes to join that innumerable throng those two shall lie down in pleasant dreams. We have Been deir friends laid in the tomb and are sure there was a happy meeting when his spirit crossed the dark river. We shall all respect the memory of Elmer Myers, and long after the grass haa entwined his grave with its green foliage will biB good work be appreciated and memory cherished. „.
