OBITUARY.

A biographical sketch of the life of
sister Ollie BlSnkenship. She was
born in 1870, in Miller county Mo.
where she was married to one Jiuk
Blankensbip some IL years ago and
moved to Taney county some 6 or 8
years ago. Ollie was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Preston DeVore. She
became afflicted when but 5 years old
and has been a sufferer ever since.
She departed this life Sept. 19, 1900.
She endured her sickness without
murmering and said that she did not
dread TO die. She leaves husband,
father and mother, six brothers and
four sisters and host OF friends to
mourn her loss. She was the mother
of five children four of whom have
already gone to the spirit land and
but one left to comfort the father.
She was an obedient child, loving
wife, a tender mother, an affectionate
sister aud a hospitable neighbor,
therefore we believe according to her
owD evidence aud daily walks III life,
that her spirit is in the paradise Of
God, watching and waiting the re-
turn of her loved ones, and the
prayer of the writer is that all of her
relatives may take warning and pre-
pare to meet her where parting will
never come.
The writer was called upon Thurs
day to attend the funeral and at 2.3O
O'Clock l spoke a few encouraging
words to the friends, sang hymn
and offered prayer, then the remains
were lowered into the grave to re-
main until the morning of the resur-
rectiOn.
write this obituary at the request
of her father.

Deadbeats.

Within short space of time we
have run up against two deadbeats
both of whom reside in Springfield
aud say they are in business there.
One is j. D. Porter, a lawyer, who
beat US out of So and the other is DR..
Q. E. Jones who advertises himself as
the painless dentist and who made
two dates here but never showed up
on either occasion. He beat us. out
of $2.75 tor advertising and both re-
pudiated their accounts. We publish
this for the benefit of other news
paper men of southwest Missouri and
the public generally. We challenge
either of them to deny the correct
ness of this statement. On the day
of Judgement when the DEVILS col
umn is lined up there will be at least
one lawyer and one dentist in the
front rank and when he gives the
command, "to the rear, march," we
expect to see them among the first to
reach the infernalregion. Springfield
