OBITUARY.

Died in Dodgeville. on the 7th inst, af-
ter a long aud painful illness, GEORGE
SIMS, aged 90 years. months and l5 days.
Bro. Sims was born in the county OF
Cornwall, England, where he resided on
til 1888, when he emigrated to the Island
of Sark Guernsey, where on the l1th day
of April, 1889, he was married to Miss
Sarah Lean Prince, the now bereaved wild
ow, by whom he was made the happy
father of thirteen children. Four of hem
dying in infancy, preceded him to glory.
In the year 1912 Bro. Sims and family
came to Wisconsin, and settled in Dodge
vile, where he has resided ever since,
faithfully attending to the various duties
of life, first in teaching the common school,
and afterward mining for lead, until lit
tie more than twenty years ago he went
into business with the well known firm OF
Hoskins, Thomas & Co.
Bro. Sims was man of considerable,
culture, both of mind and morals, and as
such was highly esteemed by ALL When
quite young, he was the pattern of his as
sociates, and in after life, the oracle of his
friends. When about twenty years of age
he was converted, and joined the old Wes-
leyan body in England, with whom he was
honored for many years with the position
of local preacher. On coming to this
country he Immediately connected himself
with the NJ. E. Church. and was for many
years an efficient and acceptable class
leader and local preacher, and took quite
an active part in auilding the first Metho-
dist church in Dodgeville. He has for
some three or four years been connected
with the Primitive Methodist Church in
this place, by whom he was much esteemed
and loved.
Thirteen years ago he had severe at

ty The Milwaukee Sentinel, of the 4th,
contains the following compend OF an An
neke JAMS case in Madison: "a consid-
erable portion Of the real estate now com
prising the city Of Madison was once owned
by one James r. Vineyard, of Platteville,
Vile, who shot Arndt, his fellow member
of the Territorial Legislature, in February,
1912. Not long after that occurrence,
Vineyard disposed Of his interest in real
estate here, and aftcrward emigrated to
California, where he died The State Jour
nal learns that his widow alleges that she
never signed the deeds for her husbands
Madison property, and therefore asserts
her claim to her dover interest in some
sixty lots in that city, well scattered, and
including some OF the best business and
residence property, and proposes to take
legal steps to obtain her rights. This news
will be rather an eye-opener to some OF
their citizens, and if the claim is persisted
in, will doubtless lead TO protracted litiga-
ton"

eR A considerable part Of our paper
last week was occupied by the Presidents
message. 1t was our opinion, personally,
that it was a useless expense, and the un-
necessary occupancy of large amount OF
space. But it is considered mark Of en-
tcrprise to publish a message and especially
such a lengthy one, and as we were able
to insert it nearly week before any 9TH
er paper in this part of the country,-only
three days after its delivery to Congress,we
concluded to present it to our readers.
Those who have time enough to throw
away in reading it, can form their own
opinion Of its merits, but to those who
hardly think they can spare the time to
peruse the document, we wonld say that it
is small potatoes.

sW-T The impeachment Of the President
has been negatived in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t is probable that the House
will be content with passing resolutions of
censure. This will be sufficient, since it
has come to pass that the London Times
is Gown on the old sinner, and in language
not to be mistaken condemns his message.
Whenever that paper abuses the President,
it is time for Congress to drop him, for
then his carcass is unworthy the touch of
any loyal man. Old Andy is beneath the
notice of ANYBODY.

twSome time since we advanced tn

w-Some time since we advanced the
idea of having pamphlet history OF the
Iowa county bond suit, published for the
benefit of the people. 1t was seconded by
the Tribune, yet we do not know that any
steps are being taken in the accomplish
ment of this work. With hundreds of our
fellow citizens, we feel that this is mat
ter which our county authorities should
take into consideration. If the people
were thoroughly informed in the matter,
we believe the County Board would be en-
abled to act with better understanding of
their wishes, instead of running the gaunt-
let in order to steer clear of marshals
sheriffs, and constables as is the case now.
We know the question is somewhat COM
plicatcd, yet we can see no policy more
unbeceming legislators, than to keep from
the people the exact condition of their f.
nancial affairs. 1t is true, that by the pol
icy pursued we have STAYED off payday for
ten years, and have kept the bond holders
1t fever heat; yet during this time, we
have driven from our border capital, and
debrred our best interests by an incessant
warfare. Whether we should pay or not
pay is question for the people to decide,
and were they conversant with the case,
we believe they would soon decide either
one way or the other, and forever pot at
rest this unfortunate issue. No sane man
will deny the injury these bends have done
the county, and certainly it is our prov
ince to get rid of them in some manner.
1t is true, honest and liberal offers have
been given by the county authorities to
the bond holders, probably better than will
ever be given again. Yet it is no sign,
since they have repeatedly refused our of
fer, that we should neglect our own inter-
ests. We earnestly urge that the informa-
ton desired may be given to the people.
Let them know all about the matter.
