K. y. I. NJ.

We learn with great satisfaction
that Sir Knight Commander P. L.
Greenwood has been appointed
Deputy Supreme Commander for
the State of Missouri, as organizer.
Sir Knight Greenwood is an en-
thusiastlc Maccabee. Under him
as Commander, Kirksville Tent
has grown into a membership of
% in good standing, although but
a little over eighteen months have
elapsed since the Tent WAS organ
lied. We predict for Sir Knight
Greenwood success ss an organ
izar of new Tents. He is thor
oughly con"arsant with all the by
laws and unwritten work of the
order. All new Tents organized
by him will be thoroughly in
structed before they are left,
thereby insuring the growth of
each Tent. Few, if any, are more
thoroughly converssnt with the
history and growth of Fraternal
Benefit orders, than Commander
Greenwood. The K. o. I. NJ. is
tho rapidly growing Fraternal
Order of the day, and presents
greater Inducements to the father,
husband, and brother. to provide
for their dependent families and
at lower r. te of cost, than any
other similar organization. Com
mander Greenwood is an interest
ing and Instructive lecturer on
fraternity, and it's benefits. We
recommend him wherever he may
go as an organizer and an honora.
BILE, truthfNl gentleman aud Sir
knight. AS we are a member of
the hirksvlile Tent, we know
whereof we speak.

Obituary.

NER.--Henry P, beloved son
of w. p. and Sarah F. Turner,
was born December 12, 1872,
and departed this life at the
home of his parents, two miles
east of KlrksviIle, November 26,
1892, aged 10 years, IL months
and IA days, after a prolonged
sickness of about six months, ter
minating In the dreaded disease,
quick consumption, wasting his
apparently strong and healthy
body away till there was left the
mere shadow of his once fine
physical frame. He attended the
Normal school last year and was
considered good, hard-working
student, highly esteemed by his
teachers and his fellow students.
His ambition led him to desire a
good education that he might be
the better prepared to meet and
cope with life's difficulties.
Taken down in midsummer with
typhoid fever, he never fully re-
covered from the shock, SO that
consumption set in, terminating
his life. The writer was with him
about four weeks ago and spent
several hours in conversation. He
was perfectly calm and resigned
to the will of God, while desiring
to live to be useful. still submis-
sive in whatsoever might fall to
his lot, His fellow students were
always welcomed and their visits
greatly appreciated. AS the end
drew near he requested that his
Uncle should preach his funeral
and putting "his house in order,
he babe goodby to his loving par
ents, brothers, sisters, and friends
and as peacefully as child going
to sleep on its mothers breast, he
passed away. A good and upright
young man, loved by all who knew
him. His funeral was preached
at the residence, on Monday, the
2oth, at p. m. by Rev. S. Caroth-
ers, of Moberly, to large COM
pany of relatives and friends, after
which his body was laid to rest in
the hlrksville cemetery to await
the resurrection of the just. The
bereaved family has the profound
sympathy of the entire commun-
lty. May God comfort them.
S. CARoTHERs.

Reciprocity Depends on Protection

1t is none too soon for Ameri-
cans to understand that the repeal
of the Mckinley law will at once
have the effect of checking the
growth of our foreign commerce
where it is growing most, and
where 1t has the best chance of
continuing to grow. The reason
of tn S Is obvious. The value of a
reciprocity arrangement with any
given nation, Brazil for instance.
depends upon the advantage which
is given to that nation over other
nations with which we have no
reciprocity treaties; that is, other
nations against which we protect
our markets. Reciprocity is made
effective only by protection.
Those free traders who profess
to wish to build up our foreign
commerce by pulling down our
domestic commerce will not de-
ceiye any level headed business
man into acquiescence in their
plans. 1t is plain that our foreign
commerce has the best chance of
growing in the direction of our
West Indian, Central American.
and South American neighbors.
which are disposed to favor us be-
caase we tavor them. The way to
make foreign commerce grow is to
watch closely those lines along
which it ia disposed to grow, and
