Death of Ed. w. Smith.

Last Monday morning at 9 O'Clock
Ed. W. Smith. after protracted i'll
ness of consumption, quietly passed
away, at the home of his fathcr-in-
law, Geo. w. Stephens, IN South
Linneus. Mr.. Smith was born in
Linn county where lie has always
lived. His father was Judge Jacob
Smith, once judge OF this judicial
circuit. The education of Edward
w. was partly acquired in this cOun-
ty and finished at McGee college. At
the age Of twenty lie began the study
of law in the office of Hon. a. w.
Mullins, at Linneus. In December,
1873, he was admitted TO the bar,
and at once entered into an extensive
practice, which continued up to the
time of his recent illness. In 1876
he was elected prosecuting attorney
Of Linn county on the Republican
ticket; was reelected IN 1873; and
in 1880, and again in 1891. Mr..
Smith was married Sept. 8, 1875, to
Miss Maria l.. Stephens, daughter of
Hon. Geo. w. Stephens, of Linneus.
Deceased leaves 4 wife and three
chIldrcn-One boy and two girls. BY
the death of Mr.. Smith, Linn county
loses one of its most useful and hon
ored citizens. He was a gifted man
and at one time apparently had be-
fore him bright future. In his Of
fetal capacity he won the reputation
of being one of the best prosecuting
attorneys that the county has ever
had. As man he held the respect
and admiration of all, regardless of
differences politically Or otherwise.
Noble, generous hearted and affrc-
tionate-a true friend, loving hus-
band and kind father. If lie had
his imperfections they we're of ma
ture which proved more detrimental
to himself than to others. The news
of his death cast gloom over our
city aud will he received with regret
throughout the county. The r,la-
tives of the deceased have the heart
felt sympathy of all in their sad be
reavcmcnt. The funeral took place
Tuesday at 10 q. m. Rev. j. L. Mef-
fert conducting the services. Mr..
Smith had Z large circle of friends
and relatives. and his funeral was
largely attended. The remains were
laid to rest in the city cemetery at
LiBBc,lS BUiIciiR.
The deceased Was well known in
this community and was 4 brother of
Judge O. f. Smith, of this place.

Let all the Charlton county teach

GERS as can do so come to keytes-
vile the 18Th inst, ard attend the
institute, which continues for two
weeks, under the able management
Of Prof. J. D. Iignight, the county
school commissioner. 1he Randolph
county teachers institute is now in
session at Huntsville. The Herald
reports an attendance Of forty-tive
teachers. There ought to be a larger
number in attendance in this county,
as we have considerably over 100
teachers IN the county, every one Of
whom ought TO be here.

J. MILToN TURNER, chairman Of
the National Negro Democratic Ex-
ecutive committee, after returning
to St Louis from The IndianapOl S
convention where there congregated
a considerable number Of co!orcd
Democrats, said Of that body. 1T
was 10y far the most intellectual gath
erlng of negroes that ever assembled
together IN this country. There
were nine lawyers. five physicians
and & large number OF teachers,
among the latter being Prof. Peter
II. Clark, the greatest negro educa-
Tor of The age" From this we Gn-
derstand That miny of the more IN
telligent negroes are coming over on
the Democratic side. That there
should be political divisions among
the cO!Dred people for their own go; d
is self evident. If it is admitted that
for the good Of the country there
should be more than enc political
party. There is no reason why all
the negroes should he r. pLbiicaGS,
no more than there is a reason why
all white people should be Demo
Gratis.

LEwANEE county, Michigan, has a
cooperative telegraph linc, which
began by two farmers connecting
their houses with wire, and which
has extended until now it has sixty
five miles of wire and ninety Offices,
two thirds Of which are IN farm
houses and the others in stores
where the farmers trade. Every
farmer is his own operator, battery
man. and line repaircr and can use
the line as much as he pleases.
They communicate with each other,
give orders to the stores, and re-

fact that hc has incurred the dis
pleasure of the salOonIsts Of St.

the law they have violated by keep
ing open houses on Sunday and sell
ing whisky without license. We
would like to know if anybody has
been punished down there yet for
violating the law, who they are. We
know Of no such cpseS, and we think
we have read up pretty closely en-
the matter. A large number IF sa
loon keepers have been arrested for
violating the Sunday law and for
selling whisky without license, by
order OF the police hoard, but our
understanding is that il Butler,
the city attorney appointed 10y Mr.
Francis, dismissed the cases as fast
rs they came up for hearing, and
thus got the law breakers cut of
trouble instead of compelling them
by vigorous prosecution to atone
for their crimes. Why should the
saloon keepers of st. LOUIS be angry
with Mayor Francis:
