Taking
Obituary.

1t has become u painful duty
to record the death of another of
Audrain's respected citizens, S. M.
Pulls, of Wilson township, who
died of softening of the brain, at his
residence in Wilson township. Mr..
Pulls was born in Scott county,
Kentucky, on the 3rd day of Sept,
1924, which county at that time
was almost in the wilderness, and
in his early youth he was brought
by his parents to Marion county,
Mo-, where he continued to live
and care for his father and mother
for a number of years, and in their
later years he brought them to
Galloway county, near where Con-
cord now stands. Having lost his
parents at this place he moved to
Audrain county. Deceased had
distinguished himself for a lifelong
and unlimited regard for justice,
independence, fraternal consistenee
and the truth. He lived a life of
temperance and morality and was
a faithful member of the Mission
airy Baptist Church for a number of
years, having acted as deacon
in New Hope Church for
a long time, at which place he
discharged his duty, both sacred
and secular, in a manner which re-
fleets great credit to his memory.
His record is clear and unpolluted
and his life has been an honor to
his family and his county; there is
no one to appear in condemnation
of his course or to ~criticise his
actions. 1t is an irreparable loss
and nothing but time and eternity
can offer a final compensation. Let
us mingle our tears with those of
the bereaved wife and family, and
ifpossib1e dispel the sad and sor-
rowful pangs which hang over them
in their most trying and heart rend-
ing Affections. The wife and FAM
lily desire to return their sincere
thanks to the many friends who
watched yer their dear husband
and father and especially those who
comforted him in his last hours on
earth, and who have united in
chanting a sad and sorrowful re-
QUEEN over the dust of our depart

l was for Norton, but now l am
studying studying Secretary of
State? Oh, yes, our people are for
Rucker first, Capt. Lesueur next
and Mike McGrath never. There
is little expression as to the pre-
ference for Register ofLands. Col.
McCulloch, Gen. Jamison and
Capt. Guibor all have their de-
voted adherents IN Audrain. John
T. Clarke has a strong following
for State Auditor; I will support
John; he's a good man, and 1 hope
to see him nominated. Judge
Strother, of Saline, has a following
for the Court of Appeals, Eastern
district-there's another man Pm
for. And Jno. w. Booth has many
friends in the Audrain county bar,

A Marked Man cone,

Minneapolis Tribune, 5: The death
of Joseph Leighton, OF Miles City, NJ.
I. removes one of the best known among
the early pioneers OF that territory and
western Dakota, and one of the leading
business men of the northwest. For
fifteen years past Joe" leighton has
been one of the marked characters OF the
upper Missouri i.Yor couuiIy. Ear
sighted, enterprising generous ond pub
lic-spirited, his hand was open to every
good work which tended to the growth
and prosperity of the section in which
his fortunes had been cast. In the bust.
ness circles of Minneapolis and st. Paul
no western man was better or more
favorably known. for he was fitted by
nature and education to carry ont large
schemes and great undertakings. Al
though for years past fighting manfully
for life with that fell destroyer, con-
sumption, be has yet been one Of the
most active and energetic citizens OF
eastern Montana, and has left the record
OF a sterling and manly individuality
wherever he was known. His taking
off before reaching even the prime of q
life that promised great usefulness will
be regretted by all who knew him, but
nowhere more sincerely tban in the bust
ness community of the twin cities.

General Harrlson,s Ie,,er

Washington special: General Harri.
SONS letter OF acceptance is commended
enthusiastically by all republicans in
Washington. They like 1T for the direct
way in which it deals with subjects, go
ing straight to the very core, and when
done with it leaving an impression that
cannot be doubted.
Senator Sherman said this afternoon
that for comprehensiveness and terse-
ness it has never been excelled by n
man in public life.
Senator Allison declares that it is the
strongest letter OF acceptance eyer writ.
ten by any man.
Senator Quay, Of Pennsylvania, char.
man OF the republican national commit.
tee, is here and says there is not q weak
point in the letter. ut is lust like
General Harrison" said he, sand
demonstrates that he is q man of emf.
nent ability. He has never made MIS-
take yet and We are SURE to win with
him"
The strong endorsement Senator
Paddock gives to the letter indicates the
general appreciation of the document.
The senator says: 81 have given the
letter q very careful first and second
reading. It is a gem. 1t is altogether
above criticism. / do not believe
it possible for any one to
state the republican case more
strongly, more fully, more acour-
ately and in fewer words than Mr.. Har.
rieon has done ii in this letter. 1t is a
sufficient platform in itself, and q large
enough campaign document without
anything else for the present contest. I
am not, however, surprised at all at the
superior character OF the letter. I have
read nearly ell of Mr.. Harrison's master
full speeches to the visiting delegations
that have called upon him almoss daily
and was prepared to see a good letter.
In 10Y opinion no candidate of any party
in this country has yet made 80 strong q
record or produced q more universally
favorable impression, as to his good
Judgment, ability and strength by his
spoken and written words in the same
length OF time as has Mr.. Harrison since
his nomination"
