FOR AND AGAINST
Mr. SuIlivanss Renewal of License
 Decision is Reserved.

Decision Is Reserved.
 George R. Bill does not intend that John J. Sullivan shall have license for saloon at Rosette and Dewitt streets, as it is within 100 feet of the new Rosette street school. Sullis van has applied for license and the county commissioners heard the parties in favor and those in opposition yesterday. MT. Bill said he would not have the slightest objection to MT. SulIivan's running a saloon anywhere else. At the hearing the following was read: We, the undersigned, members of the board of education for the New Haven school district, have objection to the county commissioners granting a license to J. J. Sullivan, corner of Rosette and Dewitt streets.
 New Haven, Jan 8, 1sS9
 Signed J D. Plunkett, H. M. Welch, Thomas O'Briep, Maer Zunder, 0. E. Graves. W. H. Car malt, H. H. Strong. H. F. Peck, Walter Leigh.
 Major Strong's signature was withdrawn, having been given through 8 misunderstand- ing. He supposed it was remonstrance he and other members of the board were signing.
 There were 8 host of remonstrances, but the above petition rather discomfted them.
 Revs. Poteat, Phelps, Mutch, Baird, Camp, Mosman and others appeared against the is- suance of 8 license.
 MT. Sullivan seems to be placed in an awk- ward position. He built his home where it now stands before the board of education decided to have school house in the local- ity.

Sunday was sad day at the Carter
homestead, three miles north of this
city. About two weeks ago the ven-
erable Erastus Carter was taken with
severe bronchitis and cerebral trouble,
from which he died Sunday fore.
noon at Il o'clock. His daughter, Mrs.
DIR J. Il Boyd. of Defiance, Iowa. had
been visiting at her old home since
early winter, and several days preced'
ing her fathers death was stricken
with mslarial fever, from which she
died at about O'Clock Sunday morn,
ing. Her husband being notified of
her dangerous illness. arrived Thurs
day last, aud WAS enabled to be with
her during her last hours.
Erastus Carter was the son of Eras
tus Sr. and Lois F. Carter. and was
born in Ravenna township, May 25th,
1908. His experience was the one of
struggle and hardship peculiar to the
early residents of the country, and his
education was confined to the meagre
advantages afforded at that day. In
1882 he married Miss Hannah Skiff,
who died in May. 1887, leaving three
children, Ira R.. Julius E., and Marian
H., the latter being Mrs. Boyd, whose
death ia mentioned above.
July 2, 1888, Mr.. Garter married his
deceased wife's sister, Miss Della Skiff,
who survives him, and to them were
born three children, Myron H.. who
resides on the old homestead; Helen,
now Mrs. Gillette, who resides near
by, and Addison S now a resident OF
Omaha.
I Mr.. Carter was a straightforward,
open hearted, outspoken man, an in.
cessant worker. and possessed of those
sterling qualities which command re.
spect and esteem. His thoughts and
intentions were expressed by deeds
rather than words. and the unfortunate
found in him true friend. In poll
tics he was lifelong Democrat, giving
his earnest support to the party be be
lieved to embody the principles o
Justice and correct government.
The funeral services of Mr.. Carte
and Mrs. Boyd were held at the family
residence, Tuesday afternoon, at ont
o'clock, apd attended by large mum
ber of relatives and friends. The re
mains were placed in the family vaul
at Maple Grove Cemetery.
