Of thn lnntb e
Maj. John n. Edwards, editor OF that
paper, and one of the most brilliant
writer's in the United States. He was
born at Linden, Warren county, Va,
January 1, 1871 learned to set type IN
the Front Royal (Va.) Gazette (now the
Sentinel office, and was, therefore, ~
boyhood contemporary and for short
while working associate of the editor
of this paper. We knew him then as
a youth of extraordinary promise. At
IA years of age he became the author of
a story which won for him wide celeb
rity. Shortly after he went to Missou-
RI where he led checkered but al
ways an honorable and brilliant career.
A great publiclst, he made friends in
the highest walks of life. Instead of
seeking he was always the sought; in
stead of pushing himself forward, he
was unselfshly aggressive in promot-
ing popular preferment for his friends.
He stood at the helm of great papers,
to whom his flashing genius won wide
ciculation, and there is hardly libra
ry in Missouri that does not contain
his books. Proudly remembered by
the friends of his youth, there are
thousands in the State of his adoption
who will not look upon his like again.
