DEFERRED ITEMS.

Mr.. Palmer, who was injured by an
accident near his own home on the Sth,
died on the Goth, bruises on the side
caused pneumonia. His sudden call
at the age of GA seems premature and
is keenly felt by those who knew him
best. Life to him was but a gentle
warfare and all its changes met with
an unruf1led and pleasant countenance.
The gold was not eaten out of his
heart in life's struggle for gain, but
better than this, a faithful laborer in
Gods vineyard where on the prairies
of Illinois he planned comfortable
homes for others. He came to his late
home in 1870. His eldest son is in
Texas, the other with wife and small
son at the home, Mrs. Ware at the
Bow, and the youngest daughter with
her aunt Funeral services at the
home, conducted by Rev. Mr.. McDuf-
fee, subject, Immortality, and we'll re-
ceived by "a receptive audience.

What is life?" The poet answers,
IT'S play, the world a stage,
Men the actors, deeds the scenery,
Good and bad, each earns the wage.
Why these children and these loved ones
Gather here today you ask,
just because they love and honor
Her whose life needs not mask
Life on earth is called vapor,
We're here to-day, tomorrow gone,
Stay q moment, time turn backward,
Ninety years of good deeds done.
In our childhoOds ills and sorrows,
She our burdens always bore,
hlSSeu away JIle Iedr anu SORROW
Though we must have tried her sore.
The children of virtuOus woman
Rise and call her mem'ry blest,
And while spared to live among us
She shall be our hOnOred guest.
We pray to-day to our Creator
That He may spare her many years,
And when here her journeys ended
God will wipe away our tears.
Such life cannot be hidden,
Friends and neghbor love her well,
Love her for The good example
She has set, words fail to tell.
But her good deeds are all recorded,
She has truly pleased her Lord,
"'ln as much" will be the message,
ENTER into your reward
OF the helps in time of trouble
She was always glad to give,
In this PRAYER were all united,
OF the deeds of love and kindness,
And the sacrifice she made.

alkalies. 1t is soft and soothing. I

3 cakes for Csc. Iknow that this is
a good batheand toilet soap as you
can use. l know that it is soothing
to skins. (which are tender. and that it

posed parchase would place very
heavy yadd ditional burden upon the
people Of the county. the wisdom of
So doing. for several years at least,
might be questioned. The expense
would be great. necessarily, for no
one would wish forsuch an improve
'ment done in q lf-hearted, cheap
manner-costly in the end. Among
the things to be considered are:
First, the cost of a suitable tract of
ground and erection of buildings;
Second, how 5near.can it be made to
be self:supporting! Third, how much
Of the poor relief is there that can
not be reached through the medium
of a county poor house, and must be
BONE outside Of this? : ,Fou1t til, what
has been the experience of neig ghbor-
ing counties in. the matter? These
points, and many others, must be
considered in every aspect before any
one rush-s to the defense of, or places
himself against, the project. A full
and free discussion, pro and con, in
the columns Of the newspapers: will
be found the best means. of settling
the matter to the satisfaction of the
people, and obtaining reliable in
formation in regard to the economi-
cal way of treating the poor expense.
The county commissioners should not
be asked to settle a question so i'm
portant without the advise and CO.
operation of the people. and we are
inclined to the opinion that it will be
difficult to e1list their sympathies in
the work of pushing the matter,
without greater pressure than merely
that ofsa petition. Nor. should any
voter sign petition, either for or
against, until he has investigated the
matter and satisfied himself in regard
to it: The columns of The Guard
ian are open, gentlemen. Let us hear
from you.-Guardian, Adrian. -.:.>
The ADVANCE, at this time, is not
prepared to offer it's views on the
question, but we do not believe that
the county is in position at the pres
ent time to warrant the expense of
providing buildings and taking care
of the poor. The amount expended
seems enormous, yet, consider the
cost in erection of suitable buildings,
their maintenance and salaries of
employees to care for them, added to
the amount that would be expended
in caring for the poor after these pro-
visions. The revenue towards self
supporting would be comparatively
small. Our columns are open to free
discussion of this matter without
limit to those who desire to take the
question up. - :.

MIR. WILSON WINS!
The Supreme Court Render a
Decision in favor of. Mr..
Wilson

Decision in favor of Mr..
Wilson.
Last week Thursday the Supreme
Court filed decision in the case of
Wilson VS.. Wilson which our readers
are quite familiar with. The point
upon which the case was appealed
to the Supreme Court was the pay.
ment of $500 per year to be paid semi
annually as alimony. The district
court made this decree in addi-
ton to payment of $20OO.out Of Mr..
Wilson's estate. To this Mr.. Wilson
objected and offered settlement of
$24OO. and $50. per month for the
care of the daughters, acting on the
advice her council A. G. Clausen, she
declined the proposition and upon the
decree being entered Mr.. Wilson at
once set to work upon an appeal
which entailed a large amount Of
work and expense. The testimony
produced by the trial was printed in
full and amounted to about $50 pages
Of closely printed matter among
them was the point that his
wife could not collect alimony out Of
his earnings" in which contention he
was sustained. The point of law is
fine one and Mr.. Wilson appeared
to.be the first one to bring it to light.
The Pioneer Press says: minnesota
stands alone as having one of the
most unique divorce lawsin all this
broad land. Justice Buck spent two
days on inspection of the laws of
Minnesota in a vain effort to find
some clause upon which to sustain
the lower court. > While DEGREES of a
similar kind have been made yet it
seemed like great injustice that he
should be compelled to pay an amount
of this size without limitation and
Mr.. Wilson being able to win on the
question raised is the means of es-
tablishing a ruling for future courts
to follow and reflects much credit on
his legal ability. The ADVANCE
mentioned some of Mr.. Wilson's
points in an issue of April l6, 1896,
to which the attorney for the plain
tiff made Sarcastic retort through
the Herald of May 9Th, wherein he
displayed his egotism, and wound up
his article. by saying: II will simply
add, that in my opinion when these
aforesaid points have taken rub
against those unyielding barriers
called legal precedents' we'll coated
with the grit Of common sense, they
will be 80 blunt that even the final
act of sitting down upon them will
not be attended with any serious re-
suits" However blunt, he fail ed tt
see them and will probably require a
magnifying glass to do so after read
ing the decision. s@s..-

Third-Can citizens, naturalized

they have their papers, or can they
only do so and vote after the expiration
of ninety days thereafter?
The reply of the attorney general to
the foregoing questions is as follows:
ST.. PAUL. MIMI, Jan. ~, 1897:
Mr.. Albert A. Ulhorn. Sveadahl,
MINI. i
Dear Sir: Foreign born children
whose parents became full citizens of
the United States before such children
reached the age of twenty-one years,
are not required to take out citizen
papers, as the naturalization of the
parent naturalizes the minor children.
Persons who are not full citizens of
the United States, but who are now
holding Office, may properly continue
in such Offices until the annual town
election, as they are de facto officers
and their acts are valid. They would
not. however, be eligible to reelection.
Under our constitution as amended at
the last election no person is now
qualified to vote at any election un-
less he has been full citizen of the
United States for period of three
months, a resident of the state for six
months and of the district in which he
desires to vote for thirty days. lam
Yours very truly,
II. w. GUILDS,
Attorney General.

The County Charges.

A petition for the purpose of poor
farm and erection of suitable build
ings will be circulated in the near
future, and presented to the. Mobiles
county commissioners later. The re-
port of the county auditor for the
year 1896 shows that the sum Of
&,741.2O was expended by this coun-
ty for the care of the poor-a sum
calculated to arouse the tax payers to
the fact that this branch of the ex-
penses to be borne by them is fast
