He has called for many a loved one, We have seen them leave our side; With our Saviour we shall meet them, When we to have crossed the tide.

When we've passed the vale of shadows With its dark and chilling tide; In that bright and glorious city We shall ever more abide. The best weekly newspaper in Kansas, The Topeka "If a gentleman wants a wife, he wears a ring on the first finger of his left hand" says a fashion Journal. Not much he don't. At least the gentleman who live aTound Powhattan don't. When one of our gentlemen wants a wife, about the first thing he does is to slide into his Sunday clothes and strike for the barber shop where he has his hair and whiskers fixed up about right, after which he goes to church and sits in the back seat where he can see all the girls who come in, and after selecting his victim he waits at the door until she comes along when he collars her, helps her into his rig and they buggy ride about half the night.

This is kept up until ho concludes she is his huckleberry, when if she is willing the proper papers are made out, furniture is bought, the bum is traded for a nadle and everybody is happy. Geo. F. Walker of Gerard is the new pharmacist at Valentine's drug store. Mr.
