destinations Mr.. Thos. Hodge went on

furniture of which there was a full cal

ney.
In the business circles of Pcmbina
during his residence here Mr.. Webb l,as
taken leading position and many of the
buildings and other enterprises that
have built up our town are due to his
endeayors and capital. In the political
world he has occupied prominent posi-.
ton not only in this county but in the
territory; and though never caring for
public office yet as q party organizer and
leader, lie could have chosen almost any.
thing within the gilt his party and if they
had been more successful at the late pres.
idential election would no doubt have o.
cupied prominent territorial or govern.
ment position. The democratic party
of thisconnty will miss his counsel and
leadership. Mrs. Webb by her genial
hospitality and urbane manners has
always been Il leader in the social circle
and with her lady relitives. who have
resided with her much of the time, will
be greatly missed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Webb had a beautiful
home here and the motives which caused
them to go further west to make a new
one, must have been strong indeed. and
We heartily hope that these desires
may be realized in full and to overflow.
