We are informed in Beekman’s "History of Inventions” that tbe f-encils first used in Italy for drawing were eoc.peee-i of a mixture of lead and tin, hothtog mere than pewter.

To this 1 union was bora three sons, John, Chester and Harold, who with bis wife, two brothers and four sisters , and a host of friends are left to mourn their loss. Two weeks previous to his death he was gloriously converted in a meeting held in Ninth Street M. E, church in Marion. One week following this great event in his life, he was stricken filth his last sickness, which was of only one week's dura, tion. Just why he should be taken when he seemed just ready to be so useful and happy .we do not under. ! stand but it ,s a great comfort to those who weep to say, ‘‘All Gods plans are right.” We mourn not as those who have I no hope and know that in the morning of the Resurrection all will be made plain. “Sweet be thy rest.”
