C., and the widow of tfce lata Thomas Tomlinson, who died in L^. about the close of the late witr. She waa also moth er of tEe wife of this editor. i^rtk Tomlinson was truly a noble Christian woman and a de voted dnrhtian, whose chief aim in life was to minister to the hap piness of Others. About ths mid vis of Apyii, 1899, she cams to live with her daughter. She waa then recovering from an attack of sikknossy . from this shs partially ralMed, but on tbs 84th of June fallowing, she suffered a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of | -wH'xh she never n v-ovi-fti, never I hairing walked .estop since. for 'three long years and three months she was ss her daughter’s pet cbi'tl, requiring constant atten tion, which woe promptly, cheer fully, eagerly extended up to the moment of death. We say, ahe waa a good woman, a staunch Methodist, a friend to any and everybody ahe met. Her suffer inga were borne without a mur mur, aud uow her happy spirit is street, where p.iiu and sorrow unver come. Her silent dust sleeps in Eaetenle cemetery, but her spirit line joined the loved ones who crowded the heavenly portal to woloome it home. “I’ve anchored niy aoul in the haven of rest. I'll sail the wide seas no mero; The tempest may sweep o'er the wild, stormy deep. In Jesus I’m ssife ever-tnore.” 8am Jones, 8am Jones. 'Well, Rev. Sam hat been here, aa everybody who heard his fa moos lecture will testify to, which said lecture, will be long remem bered by those who heard it. We are not fool enough to attempt to write it up, because we are free to •^knowledge we just can’t do it. The audience waa immense, consisting of the people generally, of the town and surronndiug country, and rdflresentatives of j the factory .villages around, and Hamlet, Gibeon", Covington and other plooee. If one more person could have found atanding room in the court house we failed to see this place. The subject of the lecturer waa “Character and Char acter!” which he boldly handled in true Sam Jodfce style. His ar raign met t of the town govern ment for liaoenaing saloons to run the schools, waa bold and sergt Thv speaker diu not mvu tw d-wply impressed with Rocking ham morality, aud criticised in a caustic manuer, those who might be expected to throw their influ ence against the saloon, bull room*, etc. Of course everyone waa not pietiaed with the lecture. Tbia <ould not be expected. Some ■peak in glowing approbation of it aa a whole; others apeak of it ae being highly commendable In part bat others are no red-hot mad »w part* of it, thnt they “cuss Oat *tbe whole thing. So far na we tr* concerted we take in good hunh.r, ail that appliea to ue, and it wjj.l be well enough fur others ?■ do likewise. Thera is but one 8ani Jones, and there may never be another. If he misrepresented anybody, we offer him the col umn* of the Headlight to defend himself. If he lied in anything he said, let him be exposed, and on proof being presented, we'll help do it. But if he told tli* truth and only the trnth, let’s adroit it. only suggesting to the reverend brother that he use more courteous and cultured Inngunge. Biii Sam Jones can't do it. Children's Column.
