Laid at Rest.

Adah Henry, wife of Jesse B.
Straight, died at her residence in this
city on Sunday, Nov. 2lst, 1886, O:
malarial fever and pneumonia, after a
long and gradual decline, bearing all
her great suffering with the most per-
feet Christian resignation up to that
last sad moment when she passed
away, surrounded by sorrowing hus-
band and children. Mrs. Straight was
born i'm Mongahelia county, Va, on
Sept. is, 1906. She was married to
Jesse B. Straight on FEBRUARY 20, 1929,
in her native county, and through all
these years they have trod the thorny
paths of life each caring for and COM
forting the other, and enjoying their
full share of the happiness allotted to
this life. Jesse B. Straight was a vol
unteer for the war in the 18th Virginia
Regiment, and not only did Mrs.
Straight give her husband to a long
and trying service in defense of the
Union flag but also three sons. She
tried the souls of loyal Virginians but
her patriotism and her trust in the
Most High never faltered. In 1865 the
family left Virginia and settled at Pax
ton, i'll. In 1876 the family came to
Charlottesville, that is Mr.. and Mrs.
Straight, and three children, E. w.
Mollie and T. l.. Straight. Mrs.
Straight was the mother of ten child
rem, eight of whom are still living:
Mrs. Harriet Farmhouse, of Ironton,
Mo-; Mrs. Alcinda Kelly. of Circleville,
Kas.; Mrs. Elizabeth Bumgardner, of
Holton, kas.; Mrs. Lou. Gill, of Paxton,
ILL.,, Van b. Straight, of Denver, Colo. ;
E. w. Straight, of Chicago, ILL.,, and
Miss Mollie Straight and T. l.. Straight,
of this city.
She joined the M. E. church in 1854
and was ever an earnest and consistent
member, though of late years on ac-
count of feeble health she had been
debarred from the pleasure of being a
regular church attendant, yet she died
full of the blessed faith. Her life was
a well-rounded one with no wasted OPP
portunities, and at the age of 80 years,
two months and five days she passed
away from temporal to spiritual life
with blessed assurance of that crown
of endless glory that must fall to the
lot of such perfect motherhood. The
funeral was at the house on Tuesday
afternoon and the services were con-
Quoted by Elder Green of the M. E.
church. The remains were laid at rest
at Oak Hill Cemetry.-CraDfordsville

the city candidate must needs be de-
feated whenever he offers for q posi-
ton where they can get a whack at
him. There is no, doubt, some truth
in this, for the prejudice does exist,
and prejudices are always hard to over
come; yet Mr.. Glover, though defeated,
had many frienCs in the country dis
tricts as warm and earnest as could be
rallied to his support in the city of bis
residence. All recognized him as
patriot, pure beyond possible contain
nation, and worthy their highest
honors,

There is just now great deal to be said
about new railroads in Southeast Missouri.
Some of them are TO run east, some west,
others south, diagonal, cat-a-cornered, and
all other directions, but the most popular
route is the one proposed and advocated by
the Leader some two years ago. 1t is to
leave the Mississippi river at point at or
near Grand Tower, Ills, and run direct
through the counties of Perry, Bollinger,
Madison, Wayne, Carter, and Shannon, and
connect with the X. c., S. & NJ. Ry. at some
point in Howell couniy.-PiedmOnt Leader.
Bro. Harris, you're way off! That
road ought to run to Pilot Knob, thus
bringing Missouri iron and Illinois coal
together. When such road is built
and in operation whole regiment OF
capitalists will 60 out into the back
yard and kick themselves because they
didn't know a good thing when it was
shown them.

The Crystal Mirror of last week in
dulged in a screed against Hon. Nj. l..
Clardy, claiming that in his election
the people have been sacrificed "for
individual and party interests" Of
course this is easy enough to assert; to
prove it is another matter, and rather
difficult, we assume, since the Mirror
advances no proof whatever. This by
the way, however. The nub of the
article is in one of its closing para
graphs. Here it is:
Clardy could have and should have been
beaten at the last election. But Col. Leder-
gerber was unknown in this section, and
hence did not poll his party vote. Had the
Republican party acted half way decent to-
wards Hon. John H. Morse, of jefferson, he
would have been elected easily, and honored
the District, the State and the Nation in the
5Oth Congress of the United States.
Hon. John H. Morse! "Would have
been elected easily and honored the
District, the State and the Natlon!

Mirrors screed against Mr.. Clardy
carries its own antidOte.

to be hidden under a bushel or sneaked off

The talk of the new railroad reaching
Santa Barbara at an early day has set real
property wild in that pleasant little city by
the sea. Lots which few weeks ago went
abegging st few hundred dollars each.
are now held at as many thousands. Up by
the Arlington Hotel, which is far from IL e
center of the town, whole blocks are selling
to "syndicates" at the rate OF s2 500 for lots
5Ox $50. These are then retaied to smaller
speculators at a handsome advance.
This is very noticeable fact in Los An
geles that no wild rush of prices has ever
occurred. The rise in values has been
steady and gradual. Such a course makes
relapse an impossibility.
