twice. had nine children; seven sons by
the first wife; one son, James, and
one daughter, by the second.
When James was seventeen years old
his father gave him $500, horse, sad
die and bride. and the boy left his Vir-
ginia mountain home to face the world
for himself He came to the lead mines
in 1882, never to return 10 his native
state. In 1889 he married Artilla
Croker and April %, 1913, they moved
to their farm home. two miles east OF
Rockville where they have since lived.
They had large familY-six sons and
four daughters. The wife, two sons and
four daughters survive him.
Mr.. l.. was a successful miner; discov-
cred several valuable leads, one near
Rockville being especially gooi. He
correspondent with his sister, whose
home was in Virginia, until 1861; after
the dark days Of the rebellion he never
heard from any of his fathers family.
In early life he was whig; then, OF
of course, staunch republican, and
during the war. decidedly loyal The
eldest son remembers well how proud
the old man was of the fact, that he
''voted for the first republican presiden
tial candidate, Gen. j. G. Fremont"
A typical son of Virginia; generous
to fault, he found much enjoyment in
minlstering to the wants of others.
The suffering poor; the homeless
stranger; THE Lords little ones" he
loved to help them all.
Faithful as a friend; kind and indul-
gent as a husband, father and grand
father; those who knew him best, loved
him most. Many years ago Mr. Davies
was for two years his partner in mining
and boarded with the family, and he
learned to love him as brother.

Mr.. LIS death there was S. S. sociable
at his house; he was not very well, but
loved to hear the young folks sing their
sweet songs, and insisted on their going
right on with the exercises Sunday

friends, who called, he was pleasant and
sociable as usual. After dinner be went

arpuaIloAns LAKE NOTICE

The new election law published IN
last weeks HERALD should be carefully
reed, and prompt action taken BY
the republicans Of this city to insure
convention, and the certifying OF the
ticket nominated to the county clerk in
time to allow him to have tickets
printed within the time specified. All
candidates either republican, demo-
crate, or peoples, have to be printed on
the same ballot, and the county clerk
can only use such names as have been
duly certified to him by the officers OF
the nominating meeting or convention,
at least fifteen days before the day OF
election.
The citizens of Lancaster will appre-
oiate the new order of things after they
have given it trial. more than they do
now. The names of all the candidates
will be on full view for two weeks, and
there will be no doubt rs to who can be
voted for. There will be no rushing off
of disconnected faction at The last
minute, to prepare a ballot Of then own
that win play hob at the counting of
the votes. Nor will there be danger of
an extra ticket being run in for spite
to complicate affairs, as nominations
must be made by certain percentage
of the total vote cast TO entitle them to
be printed on the official ballot.
Let the republicans take hold of this
matter at once. Our city officials are
to be elected, and there is only about
two weeks in which to talk il up, hold
meeting and place a ticket in the held.
After that it wont count. Diliatory
tactics and rushing call the night
before election hayo gone to join Me
Ginty. AS the leading party of the
city the Republican must take the
initiatory.

1t appears from information tina
comes 70 this office that in some locali-
ties certain agents for school apparatus
are representing themselves as acting
under the express authority or direction
of the State Superintendent, and there
fore il is the duty of the board to pur
chase their charts or other apparatus
thus offered. Not only has the State
Superintendent meyer given any such
authority in any manner, but he is ex-
pressly prohibited by law from engag-
ing in any such practice. See Sec sol,
Revised Statutes. Furthermore, the
State Superintendent does not advise
district boards to invest in any expen-
siye anatomical aids" charts for
teaching physiology, Or in any ex-
pensive charts for teaching arithmetic,
or ''business forms" The apparatus
really needed in public schools is q
reading and possibly language chart,
an ineapenSire globe, set of outline
wall maps. and sufficient blackboard.
