The mighty cataract is as a baby in strength when compared toi the mighty force of co-operative endeavor when applied to community building. The limit of its power has never been measured by man, for the limit has never been reached.

in Loving Memory Lewis Cranor His face on earth we'll sec "no more, His voice we'll never hear. Our lives arc. as the day, born in a ray of light. We are bourne along with the tide of the years, grasping the joys and battling with the trials and sorrows, until darkly the veil intervenes and we pass to the Groat Beyond. The delicate thread of life- has been severed and another spirit a to the presence of Him who dpeth all things well.

Lewis Cranor, son of Thomas and Louiza Cranor, was born near i liamsburg of Wayne county, Indiana, January 17, 184G, and departed life November 3rd, at Richmond, Indiana, in Reid Memorial hospital, after undergoing a surgical operation for a growth in his throat. Age 79 years, months and 1 days. The companion of his youth, after walking the journey of life together for twenty-seven years, departed this life November 12, 1805, and Mabel, his much beloved daughter, preceded him to the heavenly homo July 189f). He was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mrs. Mac Reed, April 21st, 1897, and they hud walked the journey of life together for 29 years, sharing together the joys and sorrows of life.

He was converted -anti joined the United Brethren Church in his youth and remained true, to his church, that being the church of his parents and grandparents. He was a firm believer in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and there was no place in his mind for doubt or skepticism. He was prayerful and devotional in. his home. The "23rd Psalm was a frequent recitation of his, and almost daily some quotation from this Psalm was read and enjoyed.

His home life was pleasant and agreeable, always appreciative of its comforts and blessings. His devotion to his wife has been written upon the tablet of memory with indelible ink of love that can never be erased. As a citizen, of Dublin ho always showed an interest in the welfare of his home town. He served several terms on the town board president, one term as president of thr school board, and was president of the. First National bank of Dublin for eipfht years.

He was also one. of the a i trustees of the United Brethren church for years. He was a rffan of judicious mind. The many friends who in the past have a.sked his advice and received help have come with sympathy to his grief-stricken wife and told her of the help he had been to them. Brother Lewis Cranor wns a moral man in every respect.

He never was in a saloon or gambling room in his life and never used tobacco in any form, and radical in denouncing all forms of vice and folly. His passing away leaves his lonely widow, two sons, Lenna B. Cranor of Richmond, and Otto Cranor of Economy, two grand children and two great-grandchildren, but our loss is his eternal gain. May God's grace sustain the bereaved ones. The funeral service was conducted at the home November lf25, by Rev.

F. McCormick, using the 23rd Psalm as a basis for his remarks, assisted by Rev. Anna Lawrence and Rev. N. L.

Elliott of the Sixtli Indiana District, seems to have drawn the center of the spotlight with his advancement to the chairmanship of the House committee on Public Buildings, and his re-introduction of his bill to provide $160,000,000 for new public buildings. A new deal in the public building program is provided oy the Elliott bill since it places the building proposition squarely under the budget the same as other government expenditures. Several Indiana cities are expected to benefit by the pass- age of the measure. Passage of the bill seems likely since Mr. Elliott, as acting chairman of the House Committee, fathered the measure through the House in the last session, with adjournment coming too soon to permit the Senate to act finally on it.

President Coolidge, in his message, advocated passage of the Elliott bill. Edward Trine Squire Edward Trine, won of Frederick B. and Lydia Trine, was bom near Hamilton, Sept. 20th, 187J. One of a family of eight.

He was preceded in death by one brother, one sister and his father. Those remaining are: Mrs. Ida Mqrningstar, Hamilton Ohio; John Trine, Kokomo, Allie Trim 1 Milton, Mrs. Flora Lichty, Pershing 1 Mrs. Nora Harrell, Indianapolis; and his aged and enfeebled mother.

The direct descendants of Mr. Trine are three daughters--Miss Helen Trine and Miss Gladys Trine of Pittsburg, and Miss Hilda Trine, of Indianapolis. Since 1880, when the family moved from Ohio, Mr. Trine has lived in Wayne county, Indiana. His chief pursuit was farming, having owned a farm near Dublin until about five months ago, when he sold the farm and made his home with his sister, Mrs.

Flora Lichty. Thus did he ennoble life by honest toil, and in the words of is life; 'tis the water faileth; Labor is glory."

Highly respected by his fellow workers and-neighbors he held a place of high regard among them.

He. was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Milton, which lodge held services of respect over his remains. Mr. Trine had not the common lot of protracted sufferings indigent to the presence of disease, but in tho prime of health, with mounting hopes, he was hurled into death by 'a fearful accident on Friday moping, December 18th, driving along in bis machine, when he was struck by an electric car that crushed him tu death. He was 64 years, two months and 27 days old.

Funeral services were held at the parlors of Pohlmeye.r, Downing and Wefter, at Richmond, Sunday, mom- ing at 10 o'clock, Rev. Mohler of Pershing, officiating. Burial was at Milton, Ind. Mr. and Mrs'; Beeson spent Sunday with Mr.
