Many older residents of Salem ,
will be inlcresU'tl in the follow

crat :
J , W. Roberts died at liis
home on the Huckleberry , six
miles west of .Savannah , Sunday -
day , February 8 , 15)07 ) , aijed 70 ,
8 months and 11 days.
Deceased was born in Saline
county , Mo. , May 22 , 1827 , and
moved with his parents to An
drew county in February 1812.
On February 25 , 1819 , he was
united in marriage to Sarah A.
Walker , and in October 18f > 4 ,
they removed to Richardson
county , Nebraska , being the
first set tiers of that county. In
November I860 , they removed
lo Andrew county and had lived
on the same farm until death
claimed him as his own.
He leaves behind him his aged
companion ( who is now lying at
death's door ) and eight children
three daughters and live sons ,
Mrs. P. H. Martin , Mrs.J. . . L.
Patterson , Mrs. E. P. Evans ,
and , ] . A. , , T. D. and W. W.
Roberts of this county , and A.
D. and F. T. Roberts of Wash
ington , one daughter and one
son having preceded him to that
better world.
He become a' member of the
masonic order in 1848 , and lor
many years was an active mem
ber. Uncle Billy , as his friends
loved to call him. will be sadly
missed , always looking on the
bright side of life , lie had a
pleasant greeting for everyone.
Thus has passe- ! away one of
Andrew county's oldest and best
citizens.
"Sleep dear father , that bless
ed sleep from which none ever
wake to weep.1'
Since the above was written
his aged companion has joined
him after a separation of only
'thirty-six hours.
Having journeyed through life
nearly fifty-eight years together
they are again united in that
better land where separation is
no more. They had often said
to-their children that having
lived so long together , they
hoped when death came they
could go together. While this
is a double ailiiction to their
children they should be recon
ciled , as it was their desire.
Sarah A.Roberts , nee Walker ,
was born in Estill county , Ky. ,
July 22 , 1829 , and died Tuesday
morning , February . " ) , 1907. She
moved with her parents to Clay
county , Mo. , in 1810 , being the
first settlers in that county.
She united with the Christain
church in ISiiK , and remained
steadfast in the faith until
death. She was a faithful wife ,
a devoted and kind mother , al
ways ready to give any assis
tance she could. She , too , will
be sadly missed by her many
friends , having lived most of
her life on the farm which her
father settled.
Thus has passed away anoth
er of Andrew county's pioneers.
"Heaven is surely richer for
mother is there. "
The double funeral was con
ducted by A. R. Hunt at the old
Baptist church on Wednesday ,
and interment was in the ceme
tery nearby.Salem Sentinel.

HV AMITY I'OIXT.
Jermaynevis : not by any
means a bad sort of follow , lie
had never been intended for busi
ness ; he had been too hiyhly
educated , and at his father's
death he found himself in the
position of a well-educated , pol
ished and wealthy individual
with nothing in which he could
excerise the inherited family
shrewdness.
One particular day , .lermayne
came to the. stnpcndou- conclu
sion that he was in love. This
conclusion < arrived at with
all the deliberate care which
his cautious intincts necessi
tated : it was linal to him , and if
unrequited would involve asoli-
lary existence for the rest of his
days. The favored lady was not
beautiful in form or feature ,
neither was she talented or par
ticularly clever , and she was de
cidedly poor in the world's good ;
but she was a general favorite ,
being gifted with a sweetness of
manner and an amiability alto-
{ jether charming ; particularly
so to .lermayne.
It was , he analysed , so ob
viously to her advantage to ac
cept him , yet he did not desire
her to marry him for such com
forts as he , with his wealth ,
could give her ; what he wanted
was proof that she was absolute
ly disinterested ; th.it it w-iuld
be for love , and love only , that
she would accept him.
Late one winter afternoon .ler
mayne wa- > dressing preparatory
to going out for the evening. In
the course of that evening lie
fully intended to place his future
at her disposal. lie had secured
tickets for a certain annual
charitN lestival , and in the
course of an hour or two he
would meet her there.
.lermayne was a man whose
tastes were unusualhe ; was fond
of the quaint and bizarre in art ,
and his rooms abounded in orna
ments of curious origin and
strange workmanship. Among
these was a small ligure of
Chinese make , the figure of a
mandarin with a nodding head ;
a fantastic image with a solemn
tace and high bald head that
moved when touched and kept
moving for some minutes alter-
wards. '
Exactly what the figure had
to do with after events .Jer-
mayne never knew ; it was a
strange circumstance , however ,
that as lie held it in his hand he
expressed the wish which was
so amply granted.
"If , " he ! > ; iid , " 1 could read
past lives and present thoughts
but for one day 1 should know
whom I could trust and whom
to avoid.1'
lie placed the image back on
the shelf , and the ligure com
menced nodding at him. He had
placed the mandarin in front of
the lady's photograph , and her
face seemed lo smile at him ;
one of those bewitching smiles
which had sealed Jermayne's
affections. Then a hax.e seemed
to spread throughout the room.
"My nerves must be out of
order'he said to himself , as lit
proceeded with his toilet. He
paused before the mirror to put
a finishing adjustment to his tic
I when suddenly , with a gasp , he
'sank ' into a chair , and it came
to him that his wish had been
granted. Just as in a dream in
cidents flash past one , which in
waking hours would take day. *
to accomplish , so he , in that
brief moment had seen the mean
actions of his past life ; the chil
dish deceits of his youth , fol
lowed by a panorama of pettj
meannesses. He became at once
disenchanted with himself as he
sat in his cha.r , all his little
conceits gone from him.
With an eflort he recoveret
himself and iinishcd dressing
keeping away from the accusing
mirror.
lie pulled himself together
took a sip of brandy , and wenl
out into the street.
At the second lamp he passec
a personal friend , and a goot
fcllovv , well known for hischari.
, table and benevolent nature.
' .lermayne avoided him ever af-
1 terwardHe moved
- , on rapidly
with asu'lcening sense of what
was lo come.
He came next to a house
where a ball was being held. A
lady was leaving her carriage.
As he paused lor her to pass
him , she raised her eyes to his ,
and he knew her to be a lady of
nole , but , alas ! he recoiled
again at what was revealed to
him.
Termayne paused , turned
round , and hurried home , look
ing neither to the right nor to
the left of him , avoiding the
gax.e of all passers. He hastened
to his rooms and Hung himself
on a couch. He dared not face
his sweetheart that night. The
housekeeper heard him , looked
in and then went out and called
a doctor. The doctor was a
young man with a luture before
hinijhe was a friend of .Termayne
and came round at once.
"Hello , Jermayue , what's the
matter ? Let's have a look at
you. "
He felt his patient's pulse anil
passed his hand over his fore
head .Termayne keeping his eyes
closed all the time.
"You seem to have had a
shock ot some kind. What is
it ? Come , you may as well tell
me. "
.Jermaync , in dfc-joinled sen
tences , told his stony.
"Nonsense , my dear fellow ,
you've been overdoing it : that's
what is wrong. What have you
been reading lately ? You had
better go to bed , and I'll send in
something for you. ' '
The doctor glanced at the
mental figure. It nodded inces-
santly.
"Queer little beast , that man
darin of yours. Jermaynes , but
if it's going to affect you like
this you had better bury the
thing. Good-bye , old man , and
can I take a message to Miss
Blainclor you ? I'm going on to
the dance after I have ordered
your little dose. Shall 1 tell her
you'll be round to see her tomor
row evening after the twenty ,
four hours are over ? I la ! ITa !
Can't trust yourself lo sec her
at present ? Stun" and nonsense ,
old man , but good-bye : I'll pop
in on my way back. "
I'o himself he said as he went
down the stairs :
" 1 don't half like this. A
sensible , steady fellow , too. ' '
Dr. Winston sent a dose and
went on his way to the dance.
Almost the li'rnt person he met
after entering the room was
Miss Elaine , lie stopped her in
his oil-hand way.
' Miss Blaine , you may as
well give me all of .lermayne's
dances tonight. I've just seen
him , professionally. Tic asked
me to let you know. "
In answer to the girl's per
ceptible loss of color and evi
dent anxiety he added :
"Don't worry , he'll be all
right tomorrow and he said he
would see you in the evening.
Some mental shock ; nothing oi
importance , really. Thanks"
and he handed her back her
card.
Amy Blaine was scarcely her
self that evening ; to smile wa.s
an effort , and once , they had
concluded a dance , the doctor
remarked to her :
"Miss Blaine , I am inclined
to think .Termayne a very lucky
man. I wish some one would
take the trouble to worry over
me. "
"I don't quite understand you.
Doctor ? "
"Well , you look a bit fagged ,
and had better leave early. 1
am going early too , and can
drive you and your aunt toour
home. "
When passing Jennayne's the
doctor ordered his man to stop.
'Excuse me a minute , " he
said "and I'll and
, run up see
how the old chap is. "
'
"May I come too , Doctor-just
to the door ? "
"Come if you wish , " he said.
The doctor found .Jermaync
awake , and his first question
was :
"Did you tell her ? "
"Yes ; in fact , f am driving
her home. "
At this moment the house
keeper addressed the doctor ,
and it happened that for a few
minutes Amy was left forgotten
outside the open door.
.lermayne moved restlessly ,
and she heard her own name ,
How weak his voice was ! Men
tal shock. What did that mean ?
Oh , if he were lo be very ill to
die ! The girl's mind was a
chaos of love and fear. She
did not stop to consider what
she was doing. In a moment
she was kneeling beside the
couch.
"Oh , Tom , are you very , very
ill ? What has happened to
you ? " and she took his hand in
hers , but he kept his lace reso
lutely turned Irom her ; he dared
not look at her. The one thing
which he had desired t h e
power to see her as she truly
wa.s it was his , yet he dared
not use it. i I
She placed her hands on his
lace , and gently , ever so gently ,
drew it round towards her , and
he was compelled to look al
her. He saw what truly trans
formed him that for her there
was but one man in the world
and that one himself.
