WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR,
A. c. Martin Of Paw Paw, Says 1t Viii
Be Rich.

A. C. Martin, of the Paw Paw True
Northerner, is a guest at the Morton.
He is accompanied by his wife. Mr..
Martin is q candidate for degrees at
the consistory meeting. Mrs. Martin
isn't; but she is having . very enjoy
able visit in the city during the session.
Speaking of the political sentiment
down his way, Mr.. Martin said yester-
day: "Wncn il comes to the governor
ship, think Van Buren, county will
support John T. Rich. He's my per-
sonal ,choice, first, last and all the
time. He Is the one man that can lead

old days OF Horace Greeley, when the
managing editor had TO ASSIST The devil

the unexplored hills that border Lake

tured alleys OF Detroit, SD long AS he is
a good man and represents the idea OF
his party, is in sympathy with its move
ments, and can run like a John Henry
rabbit. That's the kind of candidate
a party wants for governor. What diff
ference does il make whether ne lives
in Amsterdam or Podunk?
Although Mr.. woodman isn't IN

At 10 o'clock Wednesday morning Mrs.

cumbed to the inevitable and was peace
fully ushered into the presence Of her
Maker
She wac the oldest daughter of William
H. Mershon and the wife of Capt. w. Z.
Myers. At the time OF her demise her
age was fifty-two years. four months and
one day. Mrs. Myers was devoted wife, a
loving sister Snd a sincere friend. In ad-
versity. brave and seli-sacrifcing, in pros
perity kind and unassuming Her life
was filed in more than an ordinary de-
gree with sunshine and shadow, and it
mattered not whether il was lit up by the
former or darkened by the latter, she was
the same aGectionate and devoted wife
and friend. Her chief characteristics
were loyalty to her friends and fidelity to
her trust as a wife and sister. She was a
member OF the presbyterian church and
modestly discharged her duties as Chris
tian.
For the past two years the deceased has
been an intense sufferer, but with dire
certainty has disease removed her from
the midst of large circle of admiring
friends. Although a great sufferer, she
has borne it with patience that has been
the wonder of all who have seen her, and
when made TO realize that her end was
near she was perfectly resigned and con-
fdingly leaned on the Christian faith.
Her only regret was that OF leaving her
husband. Mrs. Myers leaves no children,
but for many years she has exercised d
mothers care over her two nephews
Percy and Claude Kessler.
Besides her relatives she leaves host oil
friends in this and other cities, who viii
learn of her demise with feeling OF pro.
found sympathy and regret.

two companions, was passing the house
of the prisoner, FULLY seventy feet from
the door, when suddenly the door was
opened and some one commenced firing a
revolver, the third shot proving TO be the
fatal one, the other two missing their
mark. About his last words on this earth
were that as the ball struck him in the
back, he turned and recognized Mrs. Sykes
standing in the door with a smoking re-
vOlver in her hand.
