From the Joplin mo. Daily Times
Obituary.

Mr.. Peter Coyle, who died in this city on
last evening, was born in Grant County,
Wisconsin, June 26th, ls47 His early days
were spent in the retirement and rural sim
plicity of woodland home till his 25th year,
when feeling his young heart swell with those
longings which early under restless the breast
of genius, he left the paternal dwelling, and
with the prayers of its pious inmates, COM
menced the struggle of life in the great world
abroad. He emigrated to the West and
spent some time in Southeast Missouri, after
which he came to the southwest and located
in Joplin where he resided until his death
Mr.. Coyie during his residence in Joplin has
been looked upon as one of the most ener-
getic business men--always filed with the
order of progression, man who knew no
ones business but his own, and upon whom
everybody looked as man of keen business
judgment, sound sense and peculiar and
successful inancier. Mining and transfer
ring were his chief business attachments, and
in both, not only afforded employment to
large number of men, but also gained the
friendship and esteem of many poor persons
who worked for him. The name of Peter
Coyle will long be remembered by many
miners and others not only here, but in the
coal mines north of our city. He was every.
get smile on meeting him. The verdict
generally expressed upon the street of our
city Poor Pete, he was one of our best men
"a whole souled, genial gentleman and
man who would walk any distance, or under
go any Inconvenience t assist one he knew"
come from many lips when the sad intel-
gence of his death was heraded upon the
| streets. Dignifed, yet afable in his deport-
ment to strangers, to his friends and ac-
quaintances, he was warm and affectionate.
Had he lived, il were difficult TO tell where
his honors and increasing popularity might
| end for he had the recttude of purpose to
give endurance to the one and suavity ofman-
ners to extend the other.
| But the Almighty Being who governs the
destiny of all who sees as mortals see not,
pleased with his bameless life and mertori-
Gus labors called him TO himself from this
shifting scene. He faded in our midst like a
| flower in the midst of his days. He died as
he had lived, devout member of the Catho-
| lie church. whose consultations soothed the
pangs Of his dying hour. Adieu, dear friend;
long years may pass ere thy like we meet
again. Ever fondIy in our hearts thy memory
will be cherished, softly as the dews of even
ing over thy early grave our sorrowiul tears
shall fall
Mr.. Coyl was, on the Sd day of March,

Cassv lie Notes.

--Cassvile il dull, but we have one conso-
lation it has been fvelicr, and what has
been may be again. Our harvest Is about
over and small grain is better than at first
anticipated. Fall wheat is good, spring wheat
better than expected after the ravages of the
chinch bug and with a good shower, corn and
potatoes will be big crop.
On last Friday night social Hop was on
the taps, but il seems the girls would not
jine. Numbers were promenading up and
down our streets by couples, or more, in the
splendid moon light but no coaxing on the
part of the boys could induce them to jine -
so finally the boys turned the affair into
grand jamboureene in one of the saloons.

ATTY Gen. Wilson has OF receiv-

is richly his due. Because he is an
