Court House Query.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Is it not rather thin
for few citizens OF Canon to meet
together and style themselves "mass
meeting" of citizens of the county to
urge the commissioners to violate an
obligation made by their predecessors
years ago, upon which the G. G. /.
Co., donated about block of ground,
and on which the county have bull,
substantial Jail, and with which ar.
rangements the people of the county
are well pleased, only as they are
pressed to sign statements to the con-
trary, pushed by parties in Canon
who have lots and buildings in an.
other end of town which they expect
to make the county improve for them.
The penitentiary excuse is too fiimsy
for men of sense to talk about. 1t is
amusing to hear these innocent and
disinterested (in-a-horn) people tell
how sincerely they do all this for the
public good. The G. c. I. Co., and
its associates pay about 40 per cent of
the tax on the present basis for said
court house,and yet they are not per-
mitted amy voice in this hubbub, as
against many men who pay next to
nothing into the county treasury,
and are making SO much noise! Not
satisfied, hey! with the depot, schoo
lIonse, and all of the churches
Please subside.

obituary.

Mrs. S. H. Boyd, wife. Of our mayor,
died last Thursday, Feb, "a, at one
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The announcement, when made,
though sad one, Drodu sed a feeling
of relief in the community. She had
been great sufferer for eighteen
months, and during the past few
weeks, her agony at times had been
terrible.
1t is not strange then that sympa-
thetic public should think of death
asbeing for her happy release.
Mrs. Boyd was born in Scotland in
1881. She came to this country when
quite young, although she has be-
longed to Canon City twelve or thir-
teen years% In that time, however,
she had surrounded herself with a
circle of warm and earnest friends.
Naturally she was quiet aud unob-
trusive, her own home being the
chosen sphere of her activities. There
she was tenderly loved, and by her
faithfnlness, she won the admiration
of all who knew her. But her heart
was kind and, as some among us
knew, she generally extended her in
huence and synnpathies according to
her strength and opportunities.
known her but few months, and af-
ter disease had laid its fatal hand
upon her, but during these months
her Christian character was develop
ing. and at last she. was beautifully
clothed with graces of the Spirit.
Her patience was extraordinary.
Her resignation was complete. Her
faith was clear and triumphant.
Even after she became unconscious her
mind revealed the trains of thought
which she had cherished, and from
her lips dropped many precious tes-
timonies. Once, in Joyous expecta-
ton, she exclaimed, ''Now 1 am ready
for the skies, SO white and SO pure"
We doubt not that her spirit, free at
last from her tortured body, has en-
tered upon the glad experiences
which her imagination, inspired by
faith, had pictured to her.
Surely we need not sorrow for her
even as others who have no hope"
But for her afflicted home and friends
we feel the utmost sympathy, and we
doubt not that many kind words and
acts will now prove people sym
pathetic. willing to "bear one an
others burdens and thus fulfill the
law of Christ" p.

The End.

Thursday afternoon the town board
held special meeting for the trans.

ba ss, Esq. The transfer was made
quickly and correctly, and the bonds
and coupons were des troyed by lire

owes no more railroad bonds, and
we may look for favors from both
the railroad company aud the c. c.
J.. company.
