Another has been added to that con
spicuous company of the redeemed who
have passed to the skies Through great
tribulations.n Mrs. G. w. Farrar OF
Dawson Ca, after years of patient SUI

Mrs Farrar was born in Columbia Co.,
Ca, on Aug. 18th, 1888. She was the
daughter of Mr.. Richard Day. Suisse
quently her parents moved to Augusta,
where her girlhood was spent, and where
she was married to Dr. G. w. Fawar,
July 18th, 1855. She leaves five children
Mrs. Sallie Cheatham, wife of our eX-
celent mayor, DR.. W. b. Cheatham;
Mrs, Claude Bond, wife of Prof. G, G.
Bond, of Columbus; Misses Lille and
Beulah, and Mr., Clifford f. FaIrar, of
! Dawson. AtfectiOnate herself towards
her family, she received the ardent at
| tachment of her husband and children.
Indeed her long illness developed
! a devotion to her in the four
daughters that was 4 thing beautiful to
see. That devotion doubtless prolonged
her life and made it bearable, and sooth-
ed her in her long and weary descent to
the grave.
The family have bean citizens of Daw-
son for many years. During all that
time she has been an invalid and sufferer,
The retirement enforced by her attiic'
lions denied to her the opportunities that
! others enjoy of making acquaintance and
strong friendships. Yet the numbers
that gathered at her funeral attested hel
power of winning in spite of disadVan
tages, and their tears bespoke the SINGER
ity of their grief. She was amiable anC
genial, and possessed cheerful spiri

on the Columbus Southern railroad, has
a mayor and council, marshal, and

ing it regularly conducted by three free
holders. a box was used and managers
were dispensed with. This box was tight
" nailed up and hole cut in it large
enough to admit ballot, 1t was then
left at some convenient part OF the town
and the voting began. When citizen
wanted to vote he prepared his ballot,
went to the box. stuck it through the
aperture and retired without having to
be questioned by managers or clerks
When all had voted n committee OF
one was appointed by the citizens to open
the box. count the ballots and declare
the results.
The officers elected have learned tha'
the election was not legally held, an(

A Beneficent Combine.
TOPEKA, Kan, March ga new ALI
snce movement contemplates the forma
tion of huge grain and live stock trust,
including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri.
and Iowa. Frank McGrath, president Of
the Farmers Alliance, says that the prof
ect is one of the results Of the failure OF
the Alliance Legislatures to pass certain
bills District Alliances are being formed
in every congressional district and provi.
sions being made for building cold storage
and grain depots. The district Alliances
will be made up of sub-Alliances. In this
way constant communication from indi-
vidual members of the Alliance is to be
had. 1--WE will know how many cattle
each individual member of the Alliance
has on hand" said Mr.. McGrath, "and he
can hold them without selling for need OF
reedy cash.
The Alliance the Only Buyer.
"A record of these facts will be kept No
individual member will sell his grain to
option men or brokers. but when ne is
obliged to sell, the grain will be taken by
the Alliance The same thing will follow
with cattle. We will have agents in Kan
sas City, Chicago and st. Louis who will
keep the district Alliances posted as to
the market and the demand. Upon this
information the demand will be supplied,
and no more, at a fixed price determined
by the Alliance. No option wheat will Le
on the market. There will be no specu-
lating on grain before harvest. The four
states in this trust will practically con-
troll the wheat and cattle markets of the
United States.
Modelled After the Whisky Trust.
"The commission each day will wire
farmers to send in certain amount of
wheat or cat lie. as the case may be, call
ing on the ones who are the hardest
pressed for cash. The amount demanded
TO supply the market that day will be ap-
portionei among the districts equally, and
in turn apportioned by the district Alli-
ance. No farmer who is member of the
Alliance will sell his products till called
upon. BY this plan wheat fluctuations in
prices will be avoided. Other state Alli-
ances are expected join the movement.
The new scheme is modelled in detail after
the whisky trust. We have decided that
we must fight the devil with fire; that is,
we must fight trusts and combinations
with trusts and combinations"
