that county to destroy him root and

Rose Vas forced to withdraw from
the conflict and flnd refuge ID hospi-

how bravely she fought, and that It
WAS her intention t. renew the con-

Rose took measures 70 prosecute
this man at Law. Then be inter-

ing war upon him she had warred
upon q young gentleman OF that Sec

approaching danger, placed q hun-
dred dollars ii his hand and said
unto him. Fly, ard ny quickly
for this Rose which once
was tame has become a wild Rose
and she will visit destruction upon
thy reputation" But tho young
man refused. He was not the one to
rob the Minister Of his hard earned
money, and he would stay there.
Then Rose considered her motion
and said unto the Elders and the
Elderesses, the deacons and til 9
deaconesses, the folks and the
folkesses, the people and the peopl-
esses, OF the section, that 1t was the
Rev. Mr.. Fairbairn who had done all

she was on bed OF sickness at the
residence Of her father, In the county
OF Green Lake, State Of Wisconsin,
waiting for those coming events
which cast their shadows before,

religious good he accomplished.

preached it to this day but for the
efforts OF the outrageous women of
