26 days.
Little Wes1ey's constant prattle ever

He was a household idol, the pride of

ly missed. They have the heartfelt
sympathy of all who know them.
After song was sung, and prayer
offered by Mr.. George Sheriff., the re-
mains were conveyed to the Sutton
Cemetery, where. after the funeral ex-
ercises, conducted by the writer, they
were laid in their long home to await
the final day.
May our Heavenly Father help his
bereaved parents bear up under this
sad affection and lead them in the way
of Truth and Life!
Dearest Wesley, thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But, tits God that hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we shall meet thee
When the day of life is fed,
Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed!

Concerning Road Making.

RUsHvILLE, Mo-, Feb. %, 1896.
Ed. Fredericksburg so much of late
about good roads and how to make
them, etc., we would like to express
our feeling upon this matter to GER
tain degree. We can't see where it is
at all right to compel laboring men
who have families to support, and who
never owned an animal in their lives,
and in all probability never will, work
the roads the same as the man who
has teams on the road, or farmers who
use the roads constantly. Is it right
to make men work the roads who new
er use them? Men who travel by rail
when travelling at all, and thus paying
fare upon two roads? Is it right to
take men out the shops out the mills,
off the railroad, and drag them out in
the country to make roads for the far
mers and teamsters? Why not compel
them to go out in the country and
make fence and pillow little, as well?
They say we should pay 81 Cor our
head. Very we'll; that's no reason we
should be compelled to pay 81 more
for our hands and feet. Our present
rO1u Id IL tuS uOSb Ly IduulCdI law
that ever disgraced the statutes of a
civilized country. Compelling help
less men to leave their starving fami-
lies and 60 out in the country and
work three days for two dollars and
have the roads in much worse condi-
ton than before. How long is this
state O; affairs to exist? How long un-
til a laboring man will be allowed to
vote at the public school meeting?
How long until he can be entrusted
with the Office of School Director?
How long until he might be recognized
as a grand or petit Juror How long,
oh, how long until he might have
some evidence of his being citizen of
the state of Missouri, other than the
annual call of the road overseer? Make
them slaves in reality, and they will
expect the lash and will not finch
from it. But call them citizens and
treat them as slaves, and you inflict
wounds that will not heal. Wounds
from the taskmaster's lash will heal,
but wounds inflicted by the tongue of
irony and abuse will never heal, but
will mature and rankle in the breasts
of laboring men, and will refuse to
heal till they are bathed in blood, and
are lulled to sleep by the sullen roar
of the cannon! ENQUIRER.

Obituary.
De SOTO, Mo-, Eel

De SoTo, Mo-, Feb. %, 1896.
Our dear mother on Wednesday,
February 10, 1896, was called from us
in the time perhaps when we most
needed her attention. But it was God
will, aud we are reconciled and willing
to give her up.
She was a kind and affectionate
mother and great friend to the sick
and poor, and when she knew her
time was coming she was willing to
go. She was perfectly conscious to the
very last. She called us to her bed
side and told US to be good children
and try and meet their mamma in q
better world. Her disease was lung
and kidney trouble. Her age 40 years,
5 months and days.
The funeral services were preached
by Father Newman, Friday. o'clock
p. NJ. Her remains were laid to rest
in the Catholic Cemetery. The reia-
tives who were left to mourn her loss
are, a husband, three daughters two
brothers and one sister.
The God Of all the universe
Has called our mother home,
And we are left to morn her loss
In our lonely home.
We do believe she has gone to God,
For she was good and true,
And willing to depart from earth,
lust as we all must do!
