Mrs. Mary Woodall, wife of Elder j.
NJ. Woedall, died at her home, six miles
north of Dawson, on the 31st day of jan
uary, aged 10 years, five months and one
day. She had been much afflicted the
last four or five years, and during the
past year was stricken with paralysis,
froln which she suffered intensely at
times. She was not entirely confined to
her bed, however, until four or five weeks
previous to her death, when she became
partially unconscious, and was speech
less when she passed sweetly and quietly
over the river of death to that spirit land
to join the happy throng in the realms
Of endless day.
The deceased was for many years a
consistent member of the Primitive Bap-
tist church. She was much devoted to
the cause of Christ, and gladly greeted
the dawn of sunshine beyond the shores
of time, whore there are other flowers to
bloom and other children.tO come. Sho

three daughters and many relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. Her remains
were inferred in the cemetery at Chicka-

Too deep and still on thy sealed eyes.

Councilman Bradford introduced a res
olution aimed at the JOURNALS criticism
of farming out the collection of the
water works tax to outside attorneys,
Then he made long speech in defense
of his course in the water works lnatters.
He said that the JOURNALS article was
unfair and cast stigma upon memb ers
of the council, aud that there was no
room for the criticism. He was of the
opinion that the tax of 1894 could be col
lected
He did not deny that the collection of
the tax was turned over to Keller 81
WEIGH by the council and city board of
education when it was the business of
the city attorney to make the collection.
1t was charged only that the council
acted with undue haste. but it was after

con sidered at secret meetings and the
fact was published. This shows the evil
of secret meetings. There ought never
