It*T. Davk Died Suddenly. The Ker. D. T. Davis died at two o’clock yesterday morning after an illness of only twenty-six hours. Qn Thursday morning addressed the Epworth league district I convention at Fort Blanch, and in the | evening spoke at the mission meeting at j Evans’ hall. He never seemed in lighter 1 spirits, nor manifested more seel in the ' cause of the master than he did on this ! evening. He went home and retired, and s late m the night awoke with a severe pain jn the bowels. He gradually grew worse and a physician was ceiled in. From the • time the minister became ill be seemed to realize that he would never recover and began advising his wife and friends as to the funeral and other matters. He was conscious up to his death and died singing the praises of Him, whose cause he so zealously advocated for twenty-two years. The deceased was bom iu Georgia ip 1849. When a. small boy he moved to this state and his family located at Corydon, lnd. At 19 years of age he was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Shuck, of near Corydon. Five years after his marriage he began preaching in the M. E. church. He has been located as follows; Fredericksburg, one year; Leavenworth,, two years; H&rdifts

burg, two years; Kockport circuit, two years; Cannelton, two years; Petersburg, three years; Mt. Vernon, three years; Sew Harmony, three wars, and this is his second year as pastor of Ingie Street M. E. church. y Of the family of twelve children but two sisters are now left. They are Mrs. Moore of Atlanta Ga., and Mrs Fmteher of Texas. The Rev. D. T. Davis was a true man. He was a preacher of much ability and was ever the same man, always having a word of cheer and kindly advice for all. No one knew him who did not truly love him. He was a lovable man. His friendship was as true as steel. He bore no malice against any man, but seemed to love the entire human family. He had! a smile for every one he met, and many are the hearts that hare been made light by hiskinduess and love. He was truly a man of God, and never forgot his calling. He never lost hope. He believed in the universal brotherhood. He believed that life’s piths should be strewn with the flowers of human love. When dark days came he trusted “Him who died to make us free.” When the suu shoue and life seemed bright, his heart was full of thanks to the Creator, who made all. It is no exaggeration to say tha't no preacher iu southern Indiana was better known nor more universally loved. When he died the Methodist church of southern Indiana lost one of its purest and godliest men. Memorial services will be held at Iugle street church this afternoon at 5 o’clock and no doubt will be largely attended. The hour is set at this time in order to give all the Methodist ministers of the city a chance to attend the services. The remains will be taken to CorvUou Monday for burial.— Evansville Courier. The deceased was formerly pastor of the M. E. church of this place, and was well known and liked by Petersburg people. Memorial exercises were held at the church Sunday afternoon, which were well attend

Chris Ilorseuieyer, a miner employed at the Jackson mines in Patoka township, was killed Sunday morning by the fast line train on the Air Line. He had been to a dance at Ayershire and had walked; to Jackson, where he »it down on the platform and went to sleep. It is supposed that he was leauir.g over with his elbows oh his knees aud his hands supporting his head > when the train dashed along, the steam chest strikiug him on the side of th? head and tearing it away, leaving but a small portion of the back part of the head to the body. One leg was also cut off and he was otherwise badly cut and bruised. He couid not be recognized only by his clothes. He was a young man about twenty-three years of age. His remains were buried Monday. What a Woman Can Do. Last week I cleared, alter paying all exp -nses, £155.85, the month previous $260 and have at the same time attended to , other duties. I believe any energetic per- | son can do equally as well, as I have had very little experience. The dish washer is j just lovely and every family wants one, which makes selling very easy. I do no' canvassing People hear about the dish washer and come or send for one. It is Strange that a good, cheap dish washer has j never before been pnt on the market. The Mound City Dish Washer fills this bill. With it you can wash end dry the dishes for a faunily of ten in two minutes without wetting your hands. As noon as the people me the washer-if.ork they want one. Too can make more money and make it Quicker than with j any household article on the market. 1 j feel convinced that any lady or gentleman J can make front $10 to $14 per day around home.

I have berries, grapes and ^peaches, a year old, fresh as when picked. I use the California Cold process, do not heat or seal the fruit, just put it up cold, kelps perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing; can put up a bushel in ten minutes. -Last week 1 sold directions to over 120 families; anyone will pay a dollar for directions, when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As there are many people poor like myself, I consider it my duty to give my 5 experience to such, and feel confident any one can make one or two hundred dollars round home in a few days. I will mail samples of fruit and complete directions, to any of your readers, for 18 two ceht stamps, which is only the actual cost of t|he samples, postage, etc., to me Francis Casey, St. Louis, Mo. 4-13

Spoon* Free to AH. I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Fritz, station A. St. Louis, Mo., would give an elegant plated hook spoon to any ohe sending her ten, two e^nt stamps. 1 sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and jjnade $13in two hours, taking orders forj the spoon. The hook spoon is a house hold necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking vessel, being held in the place by a hook on the back. The spoon is something housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented. Any one can get a sample spoon by sending ten, two cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid i way to make money around home. 4:13 Very truly*» Jesnktte S. B. A 0. S-W. K., R. Excursions. National Educational Association, Buffalo, X. Yl, July 3rd. Y. P. S. C. E.

McCormick Daisy Reaper Is the Machine for Saying Clover Seed,

We cannot recommend the Daisy .Mower too highly for taking care of clover seed in any and all conditions of cloTer. Farmers who use the Daisy Reapers claim they can save at least a bushel more seed to the acre with the Paisv than any other device for saving clover seed. This machine is easy operated and very light draft for 2 horses. l * - their hay should not fail to buy a McCormick Mower if they want the best. This ^ Mower has never failed to oarrv awav the laurels on all oecasioiis, even at the World’s ,w Fair of 1S9«. ► ‘ V JOE PATTERSON, Petersburg.
