Charles X. Wood.

Chas. X. Wood died at the home of his
niece Mrs. l.. X. Fuller yesterday at the age
of "A years. He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Wood and was born in Centerville,
June IS, 1920. He began life with the firm of
Spencer & Kingsley and when mere boy
became stage driver. When congress built
the old national road across the county he
drove the stage over the line. He was with
the Vanamburg menagerie when that famous
show was organized and was also with Bar
NUNS for few years. After 81 years spent
with the circus and menagerie he returned to
live with his favorite niece Mrs. l.. X. Fuller.
He was on intimate terms with
Henry Clay and voted for him for president.
He was man of remarkable memory and
singular train of mind, never seeming to for
get anything. He had passionate fondness
for animals and was. seen about the streets
for years witha pair of coach dogs. Mr..
Wood had never married but always had
great fondness for his nephews and nieces
and always had a fund of stories and infor-
nation with which to entertain them. Al
though quiet man, he was character
among us and his life has gone out gently as
the autumn leaves begin TO fall

The Democratic members OF the General
Assembly in neglecting to turn i'm their
payroll to the state auditor before the
expiration OF the financial year which
covers all appropriations for the support
OF the state government, are likely TO meet
with great difficulty i'm obtaining their
money, whether II be for six or eighty -one
days, service. The time-limit expired on
Saturday, and they are accordingly COM
PEELED 10 introduce bill at the January
session for special appropriation to
cover the amount claimed. This bill
might obtain passage in the house, which
has a party majority, but the honorable
senate has the privilege Of defeating the
measure and thereby Illustrate their hopes
OF compensation for legitimate and rump
service to the commonwealth.
