Obituary.

Elizabeth Allen Brown was born
in Buckingham County, Va, Feb.
Is, 1911, and moved with her par
ents to Missouri in 1919. She was
married to Richmond Pearson in
1882 and was the mother of seven
children, four of which survive her.
They are R. w. and T. S. Pearson,
of Laddonia, Mo-, Mrs. P. P. Mich
olas, Of Mexico, and Mrs. Judge
Smith, of Boone county. With her
husband she settled in Audrain
county in 1884 where she has since
resided. In 1875 her Christian hus-
band was called to the s'realms of
the biest'' and since that time she
has made her home with her
granddaughter, Sister Verde Bow
man, in Laddonia, where she died
Sunday, Oct. Is, 1892, surrounded
by her children and grand
children and many of her friends
who were never tired in min
istering to her wants. Early
in the year of 1910, before there
was a Christian church in Audrain
county, Sister Pearson confessed her
Savior and was baptized by old
Brother Douglass, an old. pioneer
preacher who preachedthe primitive
doctrine in this part of the country
in the rude dwellings of the early
settlers. She was also one of the
original nine that organized the
Christian church at Mexico, being
the last to cross over the Jordan to
her final reward. She possessed a
firm Christian character-one that
has left its impress not only in
the lives of her children and grand
children but in the Lives of many
of her neighbors and neighbours
children. Her friends were all
her acquaintance; none were to be
found who did not honor her integ-
rity and love her for her goodness of
heart. She lived to see all her
children and many of her grand
children Christians and rejoiced with
us in our success in building up the
cause in Laddonia. The writer often
visited her during her last sickness
but never heard her utter a word of
complaint. She often saidIshe longed
to go and rest at home. Her suffer-
ings were severe yet she bore them
with true fortitude and was perfectly
prepared for the end. We will all
miss her-miss her from her place
in the church and from her place in
the home, but thanks be to God for
the sweet assurance of a meeting in
the sweet by-and-by.
Where tho art gone,
Adieus and farewells are a sound unknown.
May I but meet thee on that peaceful shore?
The parting sound shall pass my lips no more.

In MemOriam.

GLOW Sweet to Rest" were the
last words uttered by our lamented
friend, DIR. Cephalus Black, as he
felt the pressure of Gods hand,
knowing his past was ended and
God would do the rest. His weep
ing family and friends have met
with no ordinary loss. No one
welded a wider, happier and more
salutary personal influence an hon
orable, conscientious, upright gen.
tleman, whose personal traits of
character was a considerate kind
ness, blended with the most refined
and genial county, and upon whose
judgment could be placed the fullest
reliance and in whose business ca
pacity his associates had unlimited
confidence; warm-hearted to a fault,
always actuated by a desire to prove
himself true to his friends, and his
bearing toward those among whom
he was thrown in the daily inter-
+, course of life was loving, gentle and
| affectionate. To his afflicted family
the sympathy of a community is
given, knowing his graue is a sweet
spot whose window opens to the ris.
ing sun and a chamber of peace.
until the resurrection morning,
Jesus said, "Come unto me and
will give you rest" And may per
petual light shine upon him while
we bow in submission to this dis
pensation of divine providence.

Earl Morris found two Texas sad
dies in the C. P. Wade pasture,
about 6 miles northwest of Mexico.
One of these saddles was new while
the other had been used was for
some time. They were hidden under
a brush heap. People who live in
that part of the county cannot I'M
derstand that these saddles were
hidden there for. We think perhaps
it would have been a good idea to
have watched the saddles for devel.
opments. Perhaps the parties who
left them there contemplated devil
ment and could have been appre-
hended.

James Robinson.

VI thO Aeu~ WY Ahucns
Jim Robinson, who for a number
of years in the PALMER days of cir
u riding held the belt and title
OF champion rider of the world, has
gone back to his old home in Au-
drain county to pass the remain
der of his days. Robinson rode
bareback in all of the civilized coun-
tries of the world in his time, cover
ering a period of thirty-ive years.
He went four times around the
world and three times did he ride
before the English queen at the
royal circus, London. For years he
had his winter quarters a few miles
north of Mexico, where he owned a
800 acre farm, richly stocked and
housed. In a large barn a minia-
ture circus served for his training
through the months when the bears
hibernated and the band footed not.
Five or six years ago Robinson sold
his farm and his stock and partially
withdrew from the arena, going to
Louisville, KY, to reside. This
summer, however, he returned to
his old love and it is expected that
he will go back on a farm near Mex
leo. Robinson grew rich in the Cir
Gus business, both in money and
trophies. He is a quiet little man,
and despite his 81 years is as active
as a cat. Mrs. Robinson is much
younger than her husband. She
is quite a beautiful woman.

The replevin case ofthe Centralia,
Mo-, Mercantile Company against
Charles and Rose Wiseman came up
in Justice James McCaffery's Court
yesterday afternoon, and proved to
be an exciting event. The case origi-
mated in the burglary of the plaintiffs
store in Centralia, Mo-. about two
months ago, when nearly a wagon
load of clothing was secured. The
st. Louis detective force was put to
work on the case, and two trunks full
of clothing were found on the Wise
mans premises concealed in a pile
of rags. Bernard Ballew, of Contra
liza, identified the clothing, and in
stituted criminal proceedings against
the Wisemans, at the same time Sc
curing a writ of replevin for the
clothingfrom Justice James Spauld-
ing. The defense took a change of
venue to Justice McCaffery's. All
the witnesses we're much excited and
one witness for the defense paralyz-
ed the Justice by swearing that the
trousers Wiseman had on had been
uorp hxy hin, cipca Loot u;Dfor The
Judge requested him very pointedly
to get down off the stand. AT anoth-
er point in the case Mrs. Wiseman
threatened to slap MI. BalIew' face.
After the trial was over it looked de-
cidedly as though there would be a
riot, but Deputy Constable Charles
Potee succeeded in keeping the
would-be warriors apart. The case
was taken under advisement.
