Since a great many voters about Pilot
Knob failed to tender their suffrage at the
polls last Saturday, it behoves ne to say that
an act of that kind is one IN which a man
forsakes privilege that every intelligent man
should cherish and at all times and on any
ocr aston that may present itself, be prepared
to exercise according to his honest conv1c-
tions, no matter whether it be question
pertaining to national, State, county or
municipal affairs. The reason given by some
Of those men for not voting Saturday was
that it made 70 particular difference to them
whether the county went wet or dry, thus
viewing the situation, they would not cross
the street to vote for either party: others
refrained from voting for the sole purpose
of maintaining the good will of both parties.
Such excuses as these, if I may call them
such, appear to be utterly inconsistent as all
men must naturally have a preference when
there is a question before the people that
has been SO extensively argued on both sides
as local option has. I do not pretend to say
how O man should vote, but I do say he
should vote one way or the other, whether
it directly concerns him or not. 1t Is no
personal matter, but matter by which we
help one another, and to withhold your vote
you do nothing for yourself nor help anyone
else. say vote .and exercise the privilege
of free American citizen. n.

| I'd Regtster-There has been a consider.
able change in regard to the weather during
;he last few days within the present limits
of our valley. A moderate rain fell last
Thursday, which preceded sleet and fol-
lowed by an aqueous snow. The great drops
| OF the snow were astonishing to the people,
| as they somewhat resembed large feathers
Heating in the air, and some Of our Oldest
| citizens remarked that they had never seen
it snow in such quantities in their lives.
Death has invaded our vicinity and has
| taken from us one of our best friends, Mrs.
NJ II. Hoe, who died January 10th, 1888.
| Our sister was converted and joined the
church in her early days. She was born in
Scott county, Mo-, many years ago, and just
few years ago she and her family immi-
grated to Iron county, Mo-, locating in our
midst and uniting with the Methodist
Church, South, at Cedar Grove in which she
was member until her death. She was
loved and esteemed by all who knew her and
died in the triumphs of an ever living Savior.
Her conversation of courtesy showed her
pious and religious character. just few
hours before her death q clergyman ap-
preached her and she said to him, 81 am
ready to die, out if it is Gods will would
like to remain with my people and friends"
She then said sit is as the Lord pleases."
Her funeral services were conducted by Rev.
w. G. Enoch and i. G. Williams after which
her body was laid In Its last resting place at
Caledonia Presbyterian cemetery. Dear
friends, let us sympathize with those dear
weeping friends with our prayers and words
Of comfort.
There's beautiful region above the skies,
And long TO reach its shores,
For know shall find my treasures there
long to see the departed love one that
