Death Of VIM. Z. Laurence.

ED INDEX: In the midst OF the busy scenes
OF life we are called upon to stop and pay our
last tribute of respect TO some dear departed
friend This lime that friend is william F..
Lawrence, who departed this life on the 18th
inst. at o'clock p. M, at his home near For
est City, in this county, after a lingering i'll
ness OF three years. OF paralysis of the throat.
He was born in Pendleton county, Virginia.
and was hfty-fiye years of age. He expressed
willingness to die, by writing on a slate
not having been able to talk for about wear.
He leaves wife and three children, a mother
and one brother u mourn his death.
The writer was called by the friends of the
departed to speak words of comfort TO the be-
reaved, from the 18th chapter and 18th verse of
lst Thess. After the sermon, the friends of
the family accompanied The remains to the
Lake City cemetery, where they were gently
laid to rest until the Lord shall descend from
Heaven with shout, with the voice of the
arcil-angel, and with the trump OF God: when
the dead III Christ shall arise .'Bessea and
holy are they who have part in the first res
direction. for ON such the second death shall
have no power" JE. NICHOLSON.

readers that when was a candidate for repre-
sentative on the greenback ticket, eight years

homes in ten years. Hon. Geo Orner one of

three weeks to-wit, that Simon Peters wife's

at all the meetings that the money power was
going to get our homes; when, as he said
there was scarcely farm mortgage i'll the
county; that there was no one but myself that
was afraid of the money power. He carried
the crowd with him and all laughed at nv ey-

4 Great Meet;ng.

ED. INDEX: The Republicans held a
grand rally in Sharon, Oct. 2lst. There
was good attendance of republicans.
there being forty voters all told. and
several OF these were men, whom we
know TO be straight alliance men. This
meeting was addressed by T. A. Nc
Neal, and Col. Snoddy Col. Snoddv
made great speech on what the old
party has done for the government.
lie probably thought the people of
Sharon had never heard of the war. He
forgot TO tell us whether or not they in
tended to do anything for the people in
the future. He did not say a word
about their platform. This was best.
perhaps on account OF his believing in
different measures than are advocated
by the republican platform. He said it
would never do to give the people free
coinage, and we believe he represents
the true spirit of his party in that. His
principle object seemed to be to try to
prove that the alliance was organized
AS democratic party for the sole pur-
pose of defeating ingalls,. and his main
arguments were few clippings from
republican newspapers.
Mr.. McNeal confined himself to relat-
ing anecdotes and reading the platform
OF the peoples party with a few com
ments-that is he read SO much as did
not conflict with what Col. Snoddy had
said, viz: THE service pension plank. y
He had stated that the peoples party
is not in favor OF pensions; but Ingalls,
says it is lawful to deceive; but he was
fair enough to admit that Jerry Simp-
son is IN favor of giving the old soldiers
service pensions.
n committee of three was appointed
to draft resolutions. They reported in
few minutes, and the strange part of
it was, they were printed in regular
form. We were not aware that the
republicans carry a pocket printing
press with them, 50 we concluded that
the speakers had them prepared before

ABOUT HARRY Lands

Ed. INDEX: l, with some other men,
worked for Harry Lands, shearing
sheep. We agreed to do the work at
cents a head. After we had worked a
day and a half, Mr. Lands came to us
and said that we could not make wages
at that price, and he voluntarily paid
us 10 cents head, and boarded US.
| know that Mr.. Lands bought corn
from Mr.. Julian, and agreed to pay him
IA cents a bushel, when corn was sell
ing in Medicine Lodge at or 10 cents.
After large part of the corn had been
delivered, the market rose to II cents a
bushel, and Mr.. Lands paid Mr.. Julian
II cents for all the corn he received,
both before and after the rise, and that
too, after buying it at IA cents. Tell
the Cresset that 1t is lie OF its own
make about Lands grinding any body.
The Lands family are the best folks in
this county. JAMES MARTIN.

1883 assessed Mr.. Hickox individually with :
horses and wagon; he also had 3 COWS. indj-
vidually. and Mr.. Taliaferro said to assess
them with the other cattle; that he also had az
interest in them which did, and they were
assessed TO X. j. Taliaferro & Co. (Which the
Cresset would not acknowledge, according to
the records) There were So head in number.
furthermore Mr.. Hickox did pay taxes for the
year 1883, on receipt No. $780, and on Wednes-
day, October sth, before the INDEX was out OF
