PETERSON-Albert Peterson died
July 22d, 1895, at ten minutes past two
o'clock. He said just before his death
that he was going home to live with
Jesus. He died in full triumph OF
faith. He leaves a devoted wife and
a host of friends to mourn their loss.
Dearest husband, thou hast left us,
We thy loss most deeply feel;
But tits God who hast bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again, we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life have fled,
Then in heaven with joys to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
My loss is his eternal gain.
His beloved wife,
Mrs. ALBERT PETERSON.

TIE RESPONSIBILITY PLACED.
His Excellency placed upon that
august tribunal the responsibility
Their blood be upon It's head, was his
decree. The supreme Court paused
and finally took action as distinctively
radical as that which it had just con-
demned- Gov. O'Ferrall was vindicat-
ed. Both he and the Supreme Court
had done right and the cause of JUS
tice was benefited by the exhibition.
Gov. O'Ferrall has enemies both in
his party and out OF it; he has hosts of
friends both outside of his party and
in 1T. The latter element predOminates.
No man with sturdy purpose, con-
scientious regard for duty has been
ever otherwise situated. He makes
his mistakes of course, but they are
hidden by his brilliant achievements,
which like the one we have cited, have
made his name a household word and
caused thousands to send up prayers of
thanks to the Almighty for having an
instrument in the Governors Chair at
time when lie was the issue and the
innocence the sacrifice demanded by
the mob.
