It is rumored that a large dry In Memory of IVirs. Newport. Belle Florence Lamb was born in Crawford county, near Brazil-ton, September 10, and passed from this life at her home in Girard, Kansas, Jan.

18, 1911. She was married to Henry Newport, of Bnizilton, June 22, 1891. Four children were born to this union. Three boys, Raymond, Pearl and Everette survive her, and live in the home with their father. The baby girl, Florence, died in infancy.

Mrs. Newport received Christ as her personal Savior at the Walnut Ba.ptist church in 1895, united with that church and was baptized by Rev. Denton. Her life has been a living epistle, known and read by all men. Naturally of a kind disposition, her true devotion to Christ and His spirit in her heart, made her an ideal daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend.

Her health was poor, but her spirit strong, and she did much for her Master's cause both in local and larger fields of work. In the home she leaves a large vacancy, which she only can fill. Those who know of the sweet companionship existing between her and her family can measure the loss. In her Sunday school she will always live in the hearts of her whom she taught each Sundav "Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world." Her teaching was the whole counsel of God and her life true to her teaching. She.

was universally loved by the church people for her faithfulness; loyalty to Christ and obedience to her convictions; always at prayer meeting, with a word for her Master, and an encouraging smile for the discouraged one. And while her heart was in the local work yet her vision was Christlike. She could see the world which is miserable and useless for the need of a Savior. In the Mission Circle she was attentive and enthusiastic. She was secretary of the Circle and did her work faithfully and well.

The funeral services were held in the church she loved and had labored, Thursday Jan. 19, at 2 o'clock. Her pastor, M. H. Yager, who the prime of life; he has the appearance of a mild mannered gentleman who would dodge trouble if lie could.

But it is not so. His appearance is deceptive. He entered the debate like a man who loves fighting for its own sake and hunted up the center of the trouble zone at He called on the gods to witness that his county had been preyed upon by the law violators on the one hand and the law enforcement element on the other and he did not know which had made the most out of it. He told about men lean of Jpurse who had become fat and prosperous while upholding the prohibitory law in his part of the state. He declared that the law was enforced from a stricty commercial standpoint in his bailiwick.

The fact is, Cassin emptied the sack before he sat down and he had such an earnest and simple style about him that the house gave him a liberal hand when he sat down. Sophomore Literary Society.

Senator Porter is doing a nice thing for Girard and the county in his efforts to authorize a half mill tax levy to be used only for the repair of county bridges and buildings The bill, though gen-jeral, affects only this county and Marshall, the latter having some seven miles ol' bridges to keep up. The tax will raise 20,000 a year. The senator wants the poor farm and jail and court house repaired and kept in good condition. He is endeavoring to serve the whole county in this matter and is op posed to the narrow policy that can not reach out and see the needs of all the people. One day last wejk when there were some whiskey cases being tried in' the district court of Cherokee conuty Judge Sapp, the new judge, excused the jury for a few minutes, and told all the state's witnesses that the first one of them who ever acted as if he was trying to commit perjury he would be locked up and prosecuted for perjury.

He said persons who wereaccustom- ed to drinking tea or coffee knew when they were being served with those beverages, and' there was no reason why a person in the habit of drinking beer should not know that beverage without having an analysis. An adjournment was taken until after dinner, and there was a regular scramble amond the defendants to plead guilty. Sentinel. Cassin Gets Honorable Mention.

"I had heard a great deal about Mayor Billard before I 'came to Topeka and what he was going to do and not do here," said Cassin. "Since I have heen here I have found the churches well filled. I am proud of the Topeka officials. They hare made their own statutes and closed up the shows. I have been to church several times and have found hard wTork getting a seat.

For his text he used 2 Tim. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course; I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love His appearing." No more fitting words could be used as the closing chapter of a life like Sister Newport's. The floral tributes could only in a small degree express the love and sympathy felt at that time, but the family greatly appreciated them and thought their purity and fragrance typica' of the form they covered, for from such a life of purity, the fragrant perfumes of influence emanate and permeate the atmosphere in which it moves.
