MRS. GEORGE TAYI,OR.

Seldom does a heavier blow come from
the hand Of death than the one thai takes
from around the hearthstone the young
wife and mother in the bloom of her sweet
womanhood and leaves as we'll a little one
to mourn in the years to come for the
tender n watchful care that a mother
only can give to her child. All the best
feelings and hottest hopes of man gather
around his home and freside where his
loved companion watches and p%resides,
and with her smile welcomes him daily
back from his struggle with the world.
Through her he becomes a forward ook-
ing and an upward-looking being. She is
the central sun of the household, his
household divinity. And when the fell
blow strikes her it withers a thousand
bright hopes that he had for the future.
Bright, beautiful and lovely in person
and in character, she was one of the
women especially calculated to keep alive
such hopes in her husbands breast, when
suddenly by the remorseless ham of death
the bright hopes OF the future are brushed
away and pass like
The baseless fabric OF a dream"
The comforting and beautiful sermon
preached at her funeral by Father O'Reilly
was praised by her Protestant friends
present as one of especial merit.

H-IGGINsvILLE. MO, Aug. 10, 1896.
Elder George Plattenburg and son,
Charlie, came to Higginsville last Sunday
evening. Charlie preached to a very
large audience in the Christian church, a
vigorous and powerful m very
logical in all its lines of thought, and
most handsomely illustrated with many
charming and attractive illustrations,
drawn from his extensive observations
and extensive, various readings. His dis
course had nothing stale and
place. 1t was full of the very best spirit
ual thought for the mind and imagina-
ton. 1t rigidly enforced Bible teaching
as the purest and best for all Christians
to cultivate their c~onsciences, and as that
from which we must draw for the pest,
strongest and brightest spiritual culture.
Much of the logical effect of the sermon
blew up the doctrines of restorationism,
Universalism and purgation, but he did
not make any one of these errors very
special objects. But we think the Chris
tian faith of each and every one of the
speakers auditors was certainly strength
ened.
Charlie Plattenburg is q full graduate of
Bethany college, and like all Bethany
men in the past and present, is highly
educated, broad and finely cultured, and
certainly a forcible speaker. He is about
% years old. His home training under
his father, one of the most cultured, logI-
cal and scholarly ministers in the Chris
tian church, has ever been very fine.
Charlie and his father never deal in any
thing but the very best common sense in
the pulpit.
Much more might be said of the fore
going sermon, but we have for many days
been so worn out with the terrible hot
weather, and the many downright foolish
political wrangles IN our streets among
men who know nothing about the matter
they wrangle over, we bring these notes
to a close.
A street debate, we Demonstrated many
years ago., as a dog fight, and we have
never yet found a better designation. We
feel it is right in a government like ours
to study constitutional and economic
questions, and to discuss the same, but
there are so few that can enter into such
discussions and keep their minds cool, 1t
would be far better for many of our PEG.
pie to keep out of all political debates.
We have read and heard many debates in
life-religious and politically the very
ablest men, and we find but very few who
are qualified, in temper and knowledge,
for such work. j. w. 8.

Died, at his residence, eight miles south
of Higg%insville, Saturday, August 18th
1896, Elijah Gladdish, aged Sc years.
Deceased was one of the Oldest settlers
of this county, and was a man who by his
genial manners, strict integrity of char
acter and fairness in every transaction of
life deserved and commanded the respect
and esteem of all who knew him. He
was a devoted member of the Baptist
church and lived up to the tenets of that
denomination, fearing God and doing
unto others as he would nave others do
unto him. No man stood higher in the
estim alton of his friends than Elijah
Gladdish. For many years he was an
active member of the Old Mems club, and
was present at its last meeting, partici-
pating in its social features and discussing
with accustomed force the several business
propositions relative to the affairs of the
organization. The funeral occurred on
the 10Th, and the remains were inferred
in Oak Grove cemetery. Deceased leaves

county, as follows: Jane E., Mordecai M,

Died, at Las Animas, Colorado, yester-
day, August 81, 1896, after a protracted
Illness, Mrs. Katie Bledsoe, wife of Mr..
Clarence q. Worthington, aged % years.
The news that Mrs. Worthington was
dead, though not unexpected, caused
ma my an eye to moisten here in old Lex
ington where she was born, reared,
educated and married. Only a few months
ago she stood at the altar, beautiful in her
retiring simplicity and was united in
marriage to the sweetheart of her child
hood days. To-day her body lies lifeless
and her soul responds to the notes OF
angels. What remarkable transitionl In
the bloom of youth and beauty. united
with a companion worthy of her womanly
love, with a character that combined the
graces of simplicity with the higher
attributes of sincerity, it was only a
few months ago when she looked out into
the broad vista of the future and viewed
it all aglow with brilliant prospects of a
united life of Joy, of good and of success.
But "God moveain a mysterious way his
wonders to perform" Hardly had the
chimes of the wedding bells died away
before death had sealed n life OF so much
promise with a dire disease, and the news
was spread abroad that Mrs. Clarence
Worthington could not recover. To the
rescue was brought all that science knows.
In the hope that another climate might
better her condition, she went with her
husband and mother to Colorado, where
she received that treatment that only a
loving husband and mother can bestow.
The change of climate, however, did not
thwart the disease, and yesterday morn
ing the immortal soul OF this noble young
woman was ushered from it's earthly
abode to the home of the Creator. The

Mrs. Worthington was one OF the
noblest characters of Lafayette county
w~omanhood. Her charming manner and
sincerity surrounded her with a host of
true friends. She was a devoted, con-
sistent Christian, a faithful wife and a
true friend. In whatever circle she
mingled, she exertted an influence that
~ennobled all who came within its
sphere. In every role, as daughter,
college girl and wife, she appeared the
same true womanly mi But she is
dead now. Far beyond human y her
immortal soul has been transferred. All
the powers of tongue or pen cannot allay
the sorrows of her husband, father, rela-
tives and friends. From a world material
she has passed to a world celestial.
From a world of cares she has passed to a
world where cares are unknown. She
has gone to join the devoted mother who
preceded her but a few days. Both have

She will not be with him here on earth,
