PASSED QUIETLY AWAY.
G. W. Greenman Of Detroit Dies After
q Long Illness.

The serious illness Of George W.
Greenman, living northeast of Detroit,
ended in Friday evening in death.
For many years asthma has caused
much suffering and when the sum-
mons came to cross the dark river it
found the deceased ready to obey.
The kind father, loving husband and
worthy citizen and friend passed
peacefully away to his long rest.
During his long residence in the
county he always held the respect OF
those who knew him and sincere SYM
pathy will be extended by all to the
sorrowing relatives.
George W. Greenman was born
August 22, 1882, in Mclean county,
Illinois, being thus over sixty-five
years old. He was married May l,
1856, to Miss Amanda Sykes, the wife
now left desolate. They came to
Dickinson county in 1870 which has
been their home for more than quar-
ter of century. Four children were
born to them Mrs. J. B. Wiswell,
Lees Summit, Mo-; Mrs. A. A.
Lewis, Helena, Mont; Mrs. d. +.
Bowles, Sutphen, Kas.; Miss Maude
Greenman, teacher Of the Heindel
school south Of this city.
Funeral services were held from the
house at 1890 Sunday, many friends
and neighbors being present to pay
their last tribute of respect to the
memory of the deceased. Rev. A. B.
Wolfe of Detroit olliciated and the in
terment was in Bethel cemetery.

Abilene Republicans Action.

The action Of the Republicans OF
this city in calling straight Rcpub-
lican convention to nominate candi-
dates for the city officers to be elected
in April is altogether praiseworthy.
Never in the history Of the city has
there been so satisfactory campaign
and so careful management Of the city
affairs as when this was done. The
way to keep party well organized is
to retain the organization in the
smallest divisions Of the state. 1t is
often said that it does not matter in
such small things. 1t does matter.
II there is fusion or a non-partisan
collection Of people to nominate it
usually turns out that the men who
are victorious are not the ones who
would have been the choice OF the
majority Of the party that is in the
lead. The party that selects the road
overseers is the one that elects the
president. The party that keeps its
ranks closed all the year around is the
one that is the victor at the election.
The way to get the best service in the
management Of a municipality is to
make a party responsible for it and
then IL it is not done right turn that
party down. That is the best way to
do things. 1t means the best inter-
ests Of all the people. The Republi-
cans Of the city are in favor Of the
management Of the city on basis
that will give the most benefit to all
the people at the lowest possible
taxes. They do not believe in the
running Of the city in the interest Of
few men WHO think they are the
divinely appointed conservators Of the
peace and good sense Of this town.
The whole people have right to have
a say in this matter and by the plan
proposed by the Republicans they will
do so. The Republicans are anxious
to make this one Of the cleanest and
best cities in the state, even more SO
than it is already. They are ready to
take the responsibility Of handling
affairs and when they come to their
convention we think we may predict
that they will adopt a platform Of
principles that will appeal to the
judgment Of every voter. The Re-
publican convention Is the right thing
and 1t will be endorsed by the mem
bers Of the party throughout the city.
