Obituary

Died. in KENYON, GOOdhue Co, Mimi. on
Sept. oist. 1876. Mrs. Nellie Bulls, aged 80
years.
Never. perhaps has there been uade so
great void, in our little circle at Ken
Won, rs in the death OF Mrs. Bulls. Some
may count a longer list OF acquaintance,
but none can have truer friends, than
those who now mourn her loss. Gentle,
and kind to all, and dear to large circle
Of friends, and neighbOrs, yet those who
were privileged to see her in the sacred
precincts OF her own home, can bear the
best testimony to those endearing and
womanly qualities, which made her SO
beloved by her intimate associates.
There, by her own ireside, she snone
preeminent, the faithful, loving wife. the
devoted mother, the selt-sacriticiDK
friend. Like the excellent woman" OF
Solomon, it could be said Of her, The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in
her." I'm her lips, is the law Of kind-
ness" "Her children rise up and call
her blessed"
A few short months ago, we saw her
in the bloom ofapparent health, standing
before the altar in the little village church,
publicly protesting that religion. which,
tor many years had been her chief Joy. in
days of brightness. and her unturlin &
solace in many sorrowful hours.
The last few weeks OF intense suffer
ing, were borne with exquisite patience
amt submission, and those who watched
beside her with such tender loving care.
can never forget the scene. Every pre-
paration for the end was made with cheer.
iul serenity. every loving message de-
livered with perfect composure. Hell
house had been .'set in ORDER long be-
| tore. and she was
"Only waiting, till the shadows were littl,
longer grown"
The many precious words OF trust il
her Saviour, spoken during those las
days. and the many fervent prayen
breathed for those she loved, will ions
be remembered by those who were priv.
iliged to be with her. Living, we 10 we'd

Growth and Strength of the Independent
Party in lie Sueur County.
FARIBAULT, Oct. 1st. 1876
Editor Aasti.Mosopolist:
have just returned from 4 trip to the
eastern part of LIE Sucur Co., I find that
the Independent Party is gaining
strength every day, each speech that
Wilder makes is doing good work for
the Independents. A prominent demo :
crat of LIE Suenr Co. said to me. l had
intended to vote for Wilder, until l heard
him speak, but don't think he amounts
to as much as Strait and ! shall give my
vote for Donnelly. Wilder's hard mony
dogmas don't work we'll among the
greenback democrats.
Prof. Cudmore of lie Sueur is the indie
pedent Candidate for County attorney in
lie Sueur Co. He is thorough green
hacker, gentleman. a scholar and a
man OF honest principles and will un-
doubtedly be elected. The people are
awakening, the crack of the party whip
has lost its terrors, the .'bloody shirt
has grown too thin, republican corrup'
ton too thick, and democratic dishonesty
too apparent, the people will not again
trust in power a party that is lead and
controlled by traitors. There is one course
lett for the man who recognizes the fact
that he owes a higher duty to his country
and his God than to his, party, and that
is to vote for Cooper and Cary and the
principles of the Independent Party.
''Let us be up and doing
With heart for any tate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Lesrn to labor and to watt
For truth crushed to earth will rise
again, we are right, our cause must and
shall triumph. Let the people OF Ameri-
ca unite together as freemen. Throw
off the tyranical yoke of the moneyed
powers. Prove ourselves q self gov
erning people, that the blood and toll o
the revolutionary patriots may not have
been sacrificed in vain, vote as your
conscience dictates without regard t
party prejudice.
