FUNERAL OF j. w. rRUIrr.

The funeral services Of j. w. Truitt
who was suddenly called from life to
death, on Saturday mornIpg, were held
at the house OF the deceased on Ne
chanic street Sunday afternoon at 4
O'Clock. The funeral was conducted by
Elder Lott, of the Christian church,
Of which the wife of Mr.. Truitt is q
member, and the services
were brief but very expressive.
Occasions of paying last respects when
near and cherished friends and loved re-
lations are separated from Us, are sad
always, and on this occasion, when
friend, brother, father, husband, in the
prime of life and inspired by brightest
hopes had been taken by ruthless death,
with scarcely q moments warning, the
performance of the last tribute of re-
spect Is doublY sad, and the grieVous
trial manifold more intense.
The number of friends and relatives
in attendance was so large that but q
small part of them gained Abundance to
the house. The procession following
the remains to the last resting place in
the cemetery, northwest of the city, was
quite large.
MIR. TruItt leaves a wife and five child
rem, who have the sympathy of all our
people IN this their greatest sorrow.

THE KNITTING GOING ON 81

Drunken vagabOnds are waxing quite
too numerous. They are adding insult
to injury. Not content with robbing
the innocent, they waylay the pure and
assault the unprotected. Numerous in
stances are known when ladies, return
ing from their places of daily duty, from
a business, social or a religious gath
ering, have been stopped, insulted and
frightened by worthless ours in hu-
man form, who have nothing TO
do but "seek whom they may
devour." These wretches have
left their own tracks and the officers
have about sized them up. They have
been for time IN organized bands OF
thugs and beats and are coaxing upon
themselves the supreme possibilities d
the law. A seasonable hint may prove
a warning 10 the wise. There is Just
one thing the people desire more than
that they leave the town for the towns
good and that Is their recognition, ar
rest and relentless prosecution.
