The Annihilation of instance. How much nearer to each other the nations of the world are today than they were a few decades ago! When weeks and months were required to get the news from across the ocean the old world seemed to be a long way off. Now the whole earth is belted with tel­ egraph and cable lines, and yesterday's happenings in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the isl­ ands of the sea are read at «this morn­ ing's breakfast table. Distance is anni­ hilated and the nations are becoming friendly neighbors in consequence. The marvelous change is brought home to the mind most strikingly upon reading a great modern newspaper whose tele­ graphic news covers the whole world each day--a paper such aa The Chicago Record-Herald, which baa a veritable army of correspondents in every impor­ tant city. In addition to its own staff correspondents The Record-Herald has the benefit of the foreign news service of The New York Herald, famous for its world-wide cable system and the relia­ bility of its foreign news; also that of The New York World and The New York Journal of Commerce, besides that great co-operative news-gatttei>ing organization.

Mrs. Van Natta was brought up in the Methodist faith, fo which church she was a regular attendant until the duties of married life prevented. Altho she has not been able to go to church for many years, Bhe, nevertheless, was a true Chiistian woman, and the words of her Heavenly Father werp oft times her comforter amid the storms of life.

Herman, the latter dying in infancy. Four broth­ ers, three sisters and fifteen grand­ children are also left to mourn the loss of their dear sister and grandparent. She was a kind and devoted wife and mother, universally loved and respected by a large circle of friends and acquaint­ ances, and her death will be deeply felt and regretted by all. Many of her children, also Silas CCMS, a brother, were at her bedside when she departed this life. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The-funeral rites were read by Rsv. Cockerel of Nunda, the text being "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid." Her remains were interred at Union cemetery. "MOTHER."

We breathed it first with lisping tongue When cradled iu her arms we lay, Fond memories around that name are hung / That will not, cannot pass away. We breathed it then, we breathe its till. More dear than sister, friend or brother, The gentle power, the magic thrill, Awakened at the name of mothjBf. £ THE LAI^D O' COTTON.; ' To be Presented at the Central Opera House Sunday Evening, Jan. IS. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIE8. AND ^ . The Land' o* Cotton, which will be the attraction next Sunday evening st the Central opera house, comes to Mo- Henry moet highly recommended by press and public everywhere. Amy Leslie, dramatic critic of the Chicago Times, has the following to say of this company's production at the ColumbuB theater August 29 th: "The Land o' Cotton is a beautiful singing Southern romance with a plot of intense heart- interest, presented by a company of tal­ ented artists. Miss Gertrude Dodd is a bright, attractive little comedienne, with a voice of wonderful power and sweetness." The Land o'Cottonisone of those happy dramatic constructions, the action of its plot giving endless scope for the interpolation of musical special­ ties, of which the management has tak­ en full advantage. Miss Gertrude Dodd, who will be seen in the part of Sissy, a characterization in which she is at her best, is ably supported by a care­ fully selected organization of actors and singers. Mr. Bartley Rice is a young actor with a full melodious baritone voice which is given full opportunity to be heard to advantage in the numerous ensembles, quartets, trios, duets and solos, with which the Land o' Cotton is so abundantly interspersed.

Blood poisoning set in, and as a result the victim is suffering great pain. Although the injury is not con­ sidered dangerous it will keep Miss Mc­ Gee indoors for some time to come. At this writing she is getting along nicely j^nd it is hflped by her many friends that her recovery will be speedy. Installation of Officers. At their ball last Thursday afternoon St. Clara Court of Lady Foresters of St. Mary's church celebrated their first an­ niversary and also had installation of officers.

The lack is now remedied and Director Hecker's friends are expecting a genuine revival of old time band music in Elgin this year. It's a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like Dr. Sboop's. For years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has work­ ed along similar lines many years. For nearly twenty years Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers to proteot their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Sold by N. H. Petesch. Proposed passage by the Illinois leg­ islature of an amendment to the statute regulating marriages in Illinois which provides for the publication in news­ papers and in churches of a contem­ plated marriage thirty days before the ceremony is performed has aroused in­ terest among judges, "clergyman and social reform workers. A bill provid­ ing for this reform which, if passed, will bring Cupid into the limelight more frequently than at present, is said to be aimed to decrease the number of hasty marriages. With- a decrease in the number of elopements, judges and lawyers agree that the burden on the divorce court will be lessened materially. Advertised Letters.
