Obituary.

Died, Dec. 10, 1897, at her home, IL
miles north of Cant, Mrs. Bette
Wade, aged about 80 years. After one
years suffering from dropsy she
calmly passed away. She leaves a
husband, three children, six brothers
and one sister to mourn her loss. She
was a consistent member of the Meth
odist church at Groves Chapel, and
our loss is her eternal gain.
Her remains were laid to rest in
Salt River cemetery.
"She has passed to the land of man
sions fair,
Singing in the souls bright home;
She will patiently wait till we all meet
there,
Singing in the souls bright home.

CREATES A SENSATION.
Matt Mitchell, Colored, Wires the
Governor to Call Out Troops
Half Crazy and Alto
gether Cranky.

On Dec. 18th, 1897, Matt Mitchell,
colored man we'll known to the
lawyers of Mexico, spent $1.35 wiring
Governor Stephens as follows:
"Send me lawyer to try Kelly Chan
dler. Answer if you can send him.
1t is state case. Can you command
soldiers to come out and take my
part"
(signed.) MATT MITCHELL,
Mexico, Mo.
Governor Stephens at once wired
Prosecuting Attorney R. d. Rodgers
asking about the telegram. Bob wired
the Governor that he would look after
Mr.. Mitchell all right and without the
help of any soldiers. 1t appears that
Mitchell borrowed some money from
Kelly Chandler on his property and
has cranky ideas about paying it. He
imagines or claims he imagines all
kinds of trouble from Chandler, a
prominent citizen of st. Louis,
although Mr.. Chandler long since dis
posed of his claim against Mitchell.
1t seems to be question as to whether
Mitchell is crazy or mean. The proper
authorities will look after the matter
and the Governor will not be annoyed
about the matter in the future.

PLENTY or cHuRcHEs.

In the course Of a sermon on Chris
tian Stewardship" atsTrinity Church
yesterday, Rev. H. Ashton Henry, the
rector, said that no more churches were
needed in Wilmington, and he was not
sure that there were not too many al
ready. In his opinion, If half a dozen
or more wealthy men would form
club near enough to the poorer quarters
of the city to enable poor men to enjoy
the benefits Of good, clean games and
edifying social intercourse, it would do
more good than another church. He
would not have a prayer meeting at
tached, nor would he fill the walls with
gospel texts; but he would have three
rules-nO gambling. no profanity and
no ungentlemanly behavior To rob it Of
its charitable form and make the men
feel that they had a perfect right to be
there he would charge a small fee.

has committed to them for the further
ance of the gospel through the world.
XI. I'VE believe in the Observance
OF the Lords Day, as a day OF holy
rest and worship; in tho ministry of the
World; and in the two Sacraments,
which Christ has appointed for bis
Church; Baptism, to be administered
as the sign Of cleansing from sin, of
union to Christ, and Of the importation
of the Holy Spirit; and the Lords
Supper as a symbol of his atoning
death, a seal of his efficacy, and a
means whereby He confirms and
strengthens the spiritual union and
communion of believers with him
self.
XII. I'VE believe In the ultimate
prevalence of the kingdom of Christ
over all the earth; in the glorious
appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ; in the resurrec-
tion of the dead; and in a final judge
pent, the issues of which are everlast-
ing punishment and everlasting life"
