Mexico, No. Intelligencer, Jan. p.
Departed this life Jan. 10, 1885,
after a tedious and painful illness,
borne with great fortitude and
hopeEulness, the Rev. VIM. Stod
dert, ID. D., pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church of this city.
DR.. Stoddert's family name was
Ewei., but being adopted by his
uncle, he assumed the name OF
Stoddert which was his mother 5
maiden name He was born near
jamestown, Va, IN 1924, and was
consequently in his 6lst year when
he died. He united with the Pres
byterian church at the age of IA aud
soon went to Hampton College to
prepare for the ministry He
graduated at 30, and in company
with his cousin Campbell, visited
Europe and the Holy Land, bring
ing back the remains of his cousin
who died in Italy. On his return
he went to New Mexico as chap
lain to regiment, and at the expi
ration of his term returned to Wiz
GINA and assumed the charge of
church there, continuing to be it's
pastor until that state seeded. On
the breaking out of the war he be-
came chaplain in Gen. Ewelrs
brigade and continued With HIM un-
til that officer was wounded. He
went to Tennessee to look after Mrs
Ewelps estate, ana while there
preached in the Brick Church OF
Giles county, and at Lynnville,
Tenn. He remained in Tennessee
about II years, and returning to
Virginia WAS pastor for four years
of the church near Farmville, |
whence he came to this city where
he has preached for three years
with great acceptability.
DR.. Stoddert was no ordinary
man and he will be long and atfec-
tionately remembered by those to
whom he ministered. His style OF
preaching was peculiar. Through
most of his sermons there ran a
vein of subdued humor that riveted
attention and portrayed whatever
he aimed to inculcate or illustrate.
Few heard him lecture without ap-
of his ability, but per
maps his most endearing characters
lie was his concern for the yoang
persons he came in contact with
As an instructor he spared no pains
10 attract them to and fit them for
he service of his Master. As a !
of Christ he omitted no ,
opportunity of winning souls.
Dying as DIR. Stoddert did at a
distance from relatives, it will no
Ioubt be a great consolation to
'e informed that he was tenderly :
ursed and taken care of by the of Il
GERS and ladies of his church, sew Y
raj of which later devoted them t.
elves with great faithfulness to ?
to their dying pastor.

Some Important Facts.

The American Legion of Honor,
in our opinion, stands above all the
mutual insurance orders. 1t has q
very fine lodge in Pulaski, of some
of our best citizens, and has done a
good part by us. Four members
have died here and their families
were paid $1S,O00-Jno. B. Smith,
e. T. Mason. II. Childress and w.
j. Craig. The lodge here is still
growing and ought to grow more.
1t has some of the best workers in
town. We mention these facts to
impress upon those who are not car
rying the insurance they ought the
importance of joining this order. A
man has no right to swindle his
family by dying without a policy on
his life. 1t is easy to provide thus
against the poor house for your
children. The bible says a man
who neglects his family is worse
than a heather. In these days OF
cheap insurance a man who would
1ail to provide for his family, If he
should sneak into heaven when he
dies, would be arrested in ten min.
utes for trying to steal gold bricks
out of the pavement. We have be.
fore US q paper giving the full his
tory of the A. L. of II. which we in
tended to notice at length, but it is
useless. Allow Is to urge it upor
you, if you have family, to hasteI
to deposit your petition here anC
get the cheapest rates, and the sur
est prospects of pay if you die.

The Objectionable word used by
our California correspondent last
week was excessively out of place.
In the hurry of preparation we
overlooked its enormity. 1t ought
not to have found place in the CITI
ZEN. We had land have) such
unbounded confidence in the writer
that We hand his letters to the
printer without scrutinizing them
closely. Although we condemn
this expression as extremely ebnox
ious, yet we cannot censure the
writer, because we know his mo-
tives were the best. 1t was too
much zeal On his part and too lit
tie thought on our part that let il
the word. This editor is profound
ly impressed with the duty that il
upon him to keep these columns
stainless and fit for family inspec
ton. This Is the most objectiona-
BILE thing that ever found admission
and we are exceedingly sorry.

A snhscriber AWAY in Mnscoda

A subscriber away in Muscoda,
Wis, renewing his subscription to
the CITIZEN, writes: please con-
tinue your valuable paper. We like
its tone. Its selections are worth pre-
serving and we supplyour scrap book
with many of them. We get plenty
ty of papers filed with reading that
is of very little practical use We
want something that is of use in af-
terdays." And yet many ofthe CITI-
ZEN readers wish US to adopt the
patent outside cheap rate stuff that
is unfit to be read, so that the price
may be cut down. We intend to
keep the CITIZEN up. 1t costs us
more money to do it, but We believe
Giles countians had rather pay q
little more for good paper than a
little less for a common one. We
should hate TO be compelled by our
patrons to bring the CITIZEN down
to the level Of these patent out
sides.

One who has had no experience
does not know how frequently at
tempts are made to slip up on an
editor by some person who wants to
see something vulgar in type. All
manner of devices are used to get
in some such things. Every val
gar thing that men see in other
papers they will clip out and hand
to the home editor. They seem to
have an irrepressible longing to see
these foetid tidbits thrust under the
noses Of the people, and they will
laugh and litter and think it is quite
smart. Let some one else do the
same thing, and they will hold up
their hands in holy adherence.
20 imy! What a vile sheetr' A
thousand of these shafts does an
editor nave to avert. When one
does slip in by inadvertence, the
editor'is assaulted with the lashin gs
OF many tongues. 1t is as impossi-
bic to avoid all these things as it
ls for q camel to roost on the
point of needle. When one does
slip in, the ''hims without sin"
throw stones like gang of school
boys. They will roll a greasy vuI
garism under their tongues with
slobbery relish themselves, aud
they like to slap other decent peo-
pie in the face with blistering in
decorum, if they can sling their OBJ
sceniJy from behind the editor and
hide themselves, but let some one
else do it and monstrous, revolving
horror shines on their faces like q
black cat on a snow drift. "And
the Pharlsees opened their eyes
with much Wonder"
