John w. WADDELL.

John w. Waddell, the man, the
citizen, the Christian, is dead. Early
yesterday morning his soul took its
flight to its God. When the news of
his death spread v e the city it caused
many an eye to molsten and many a
heart to beat in sorrow and pain. Mr..
Waddell was one of the pioneer
citizens. No man has vel lived here
who did more for his community and his
people, and none have ever closed a
more honorable record or more richly
deserved the encomiums of his fellow
men.
John Waddell was honest. He
would have severed his right arm
before he would have accepted a dollar
to which he was moi justly entitled. In
all his business career, which was long
and successful, there vas not q blot
placed upon his character.
: In the business world he enjoyed the
confidence of everyone. In his life he
transacted a large volume of business,
and by his answering integrity, energy
and wisdom he saved a good share of
the worlds goods.
He was a mana manly man. His
word was as good as any mans bond.
He was a patriotic citizen. He
tried to do his duty, not only to those
who we're s.his own" but to his fellow
citizens as we'll.
He was a Christian devout men,
Der of the Baptist church for many,
many years. He spent his life assist
ing to build up the Masters Kingdom
in this world, and has now only passed
through the portal to his triumphant
reward.
HIS life vas well spent. His record
read discloses an honorable career, one
that has been q blessing to himself, his
family, his country and his God.
In his home life his character wal
almost ideal. He was Q true husband
and a generous father, . good citizen,
a faithful Christian and q noble man.
To his talents, his wisdom, his integrity,
his patriotism and kind deeds, human.
ity owes q debt Of gratitude. Tears
nor sad hearts can avail aught in TIL.
hour of his departure. Sympathy fol
the loved ones cannot fill the vacan,

They mourn. Lexington mourns his
death. And yet those who knew him
we'll feel that his lot now is happier
that he is free from the cares of life
and has entered the home ssnot made

Slater Rustler: The Lexington In
TELLIGENCER of last week contained a
glowing account of the commencement
exercises of Central College.
Qui Vive: Last weeks Lexington
INTELLIGENCER gave quite an elaborate
write-up of Lexington's colleges and
public schools which reflects great
credit on its enterprising proprietors.
Odessa Moon: The Lexington In
TELLIGENcER deserves much credit for
its excellent report of the closing of the
several colleges OF its town. Such
enterprise will have due influence on
the outside world.
Waverly Times: The INTELLIGENCER
has earned golden opinions from the
city schools and their patrons. There
ought to be money in such a volrmi-
NOUS job of advertising. The $780, 900
intended addition to the Central Col
lege indicated that Lexington is about
to move forward on educational lines.
Richmond Democrat: The Lexing-
ton INTELLIGENCER gave a splendid

In addition to this 1t gave much inter-
esting matter in reference to the
present condition of the various schools
as well as of their past history.
! Elder Geo. Plattenburg, at Dover,
whose judgment is valued very highly
by all who know him, in a private
letter to this Office says: "You have

of no county paper doing nearly So
well. The schools owe you a debt of
gratitude beyond all measure. 1 want

Lexington has awakened from q
twenty-year lethean slumber, and is on
a fair road to recovery Of lost opportu-

Of good proportions.
The bridge enterprise was started
and will be eliminated by those pro-
gressive citizens. Many who wanted
the bridge and who contributed largely
to it, thought at the beginning that IL
was impossible. These progressive
citizens said that it was not, and went
to work. Now nearly all Of the money
has been subscribed, aud the bridge is
assured.
These same citizens, always looking
after the best interests Of their town,
now have an electric light movement
on hand. An election will be held next
Tuesday. The masses will say whether
or not they will have an electric
light plant. The proposition has been
approved and commended by the most
successful business men of the city. 1t
has been endorsed by the mayor and
every member of the city council. l,

put II in full force and effect it must

ton of principles on the financial
question to be adopted IN the national
convention next year. But there Is
above and beyond these
considerations, and that is the fact that
large and respectable number of
democrats in Missouri have asked tor
this convention. The discussion as to
whether or not these requests come
from a majority seems to partake of
the splitting of hairs. A serious con-
dition c%onfronts the Missouri democ-
racy; a serious question is agitating
the minds of its members. A respectful
request is made to its duly accredited
central committee for a convention in
order that these matters may be dis
cussed. Shall the committee refuse the
party the opportunity for consultation
and expression of its wishesp Is there
more danger In a party gathering or in
that stubbornness which is engendered

ments against the holding of a conven-
ton. On the other hand, there are
arguments in its favor. If, as is
