J. P. MAUREL, Pastor
DIED-At her home in Alma, Friday
night, January II, 1895, Mrs. S. NJ.
Adams, after an illness of some weeks.
To have loved one die is sad under
almost any condition, but to lay one to
rest when just entering the prime of life
is truly pitiably for those who are left
to mourn. Mrs. Adams had many
friends in Van Buren,, where she
resided year ago, who joins with the
PRESS in extending to the bereaved
husband the sympathy of the COM

In this issue we present the name of
Mayor Ben Decherd for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor of Van Buren,
Mayor Decherd was, at the solicitation

think, to the satisfaction of all who
have had any business with the Mayors
Office. 1t would be hard to find a man
better qualified for the Office of Mayor
than Ben Decherd is, and ask the voters
to give his claims due consideration.
A dispatch from Sedalia, Mo. saws:
"The value of the work done on county

county, This is another proof that
the best way in which county and state
prisoners can be used is in building
roads. Will our authorities take
cognizance of this when the time arrives
for again disposing of county prlsoners2
We hope they will.
