The goldites should be ashamed of their unfulfilled promises. During the campaign they promised wonders. All that was necessary, they said, to have good times, was to eiect the Major. Confidence would be restored and all idle plants and factories would start to work. They promised everything and have done nothing. They promised a fish and gave a serpent. However, silverites can console themselves somewhat with the faet that the reptile, hard times, will fit yellow metal folks as well as themselves.

;7-—-■-■ -- —- ' la M«*ry of Mrs. Miley. Gone from oar midst, oar tMdier, mother, friend. Pit tiibute to her name can scarce be penned; So many things in memory’s loving token Can of her life and work be spoken. We see her vacant seat and o'er it spread The sable drapery for the dead. Yet death is robbed of half its gloom, To know she lives beyond tbe tomb. As sunsets glow at evening tide, Her loving deeds wilt long abide. By faith she lived and constant prayer And in each case saw God's loving cure. And with the eagle’s power to soar. She rose above life’s tempest roar, And viewed from PisgaHs’ lofty height, The promised land of golden light. Then when her work was fully o’er, She crossed to that celestial shore, Where all Is Joy and perfect rest. The home prepared for all the blest. Mas. Marietta A. Lrdy. Notice of Dissolution.
