John XRLRORN.

"NNlN NhLnthNs
John Welborn is one Of the ablest
lawyers u Lafayette county and prob
ably no other is better acquainted with
Its citizens than be. Not only is be an
able lawyer, be is = native Missourian
and better than ever is = native Of this
county. For tins reason w feel even
greater pride than usual In his ability
and achievements.
Mir. Welborn vas born in this coun-
ty November goth, 1856, and has resid-
ed here continuously since that time.
He grew up on the farm and after
finishing the common schools attended
the Warrensburg State Normal from
which be graduated and Of which he is
now one of the board Of trustees. Hav-
ing graduated from the Normal Mr..
Welborn applied himself to the law
and was admitted to the bar In 1879,
aud has risen rapidly in his chosen
profession. He has always been active
in politics and 10 q republican in belief.
For six years be was city recorder and
then elected mayor for two years and
refused to make the race for reelection.
Ia 1898 he was the nominee Of the
republican party for congress from
this district and though 1t lie hopeless
ly democratic he made one Of the most
formidable ever put up by the
republicans and gave the democrats
good reason TO look to their laurels.
But it is in his chosen profession
that Mr.. Welborn lakes greatest de-
light and his fsvorite branch of the
practice Is criminal law. Fortunate
indeed is the accused if he succeeds in
securing his services and so well known
has be become through the county and
adjoining counties that most cases Of
any importance will find hum employed
either BY the state or the defence.
From the time he takes a case until it
is disposed Of, usually in his favor, he
devotes every energy 10 its best and
post formidable presentation. AS q
cross-examiner In the trial OF q case he
has few equals and is always on bis
guard against the opposing counsel,
and being perfectly honorable In his
dealing with them demands the same
treatment in return.
In private life MIR. Mr.. Welborn Is q
perfect gentleman at all times and
under all circumstances and enjoys a
large circle of friends. He is man
who is always ready to work for his
friends and at the same tune nc n
ever hears Of John %elborn casting q
slur, directly or indirectly, on those
who have been untriendly to him, what.
ever may have been the p~royocation.
Mr.. welborn was married to Miss
Georgia Littlejohn Feb. Is, 1879, and
she has contributed in no small degree
to his large success. She Is m Of
Lexington's leading society ladies and
like her husband IS very popular. Her
entertainments are always eagerly look
ed forward to and greatly enjoyed.
May fortune continue TO smile on Mr..
and Mrs. Welborn Is the earnest wish
of the I%ntelli0epcer.

New York Journal: Mckinley and
Roosevelt are the candidates Of the
youngest party in American politics
the imperial party, now less than a
year old. The body that met this
week at Philadelphia was called the
twelfth national convention of the re-
publican party. But the party that
renominated Mckinley in 1910 are not
only two different things-they are alb
solutely antipodal.

DAVID h. HILL.

1t was our pleasure this week to
receive a marked copy Of the Moberly
Daily Monitor containing q column and
q half article signed by j. S. Hackley,
urging David B. Hill for the vice
presidential nominatian at Kansas
City. Mr.. Hsckley boasts Of having
organized tine first Hill club in the
state 10 1891 and 1892 and also Of
having organized the FIRST silver clab
in the state. He is evidently an
original man in al he touches and we
Judge this is another Of his master
strokes. He seems to be for Hill just
because, but just because what is not
exactly plain unless it be because be
organized that club so many years ago
and nothing has come Of 1t. We SYN.
pathiEe with MIR. Hackley in his
troubles, but just why Hill should be
nominated for that reason is not plain.
There was a time when Hill enjoyed
the confidence Of the democratic party,
and as Mr.. Hackley says he has made
the statement 81 am q democrat" very
prominent, but that time mas passed
and his sins Of omission, # not CON-
mission, would not be 3 very encour-
aging load for the party to start IN to
carry through the campaign. Possibly
Mr.. Hill did vote for Bryan and did
not fight him. The fact still remains
that, occupying a prominent place in
the party, he at least gave cemfort
and encouragement to the opposition
by his silence.
David b. Hill is not the man, In our
opinion, to nominate for the vice.
presidency because there are numbers
Of eastern men and even New Workers
whs can not only strengthen the ticket
10 the east but also in the west. Men
who have no records TO explain away,
that are not acceptable to the .vast
majority Of democrats. Men who have
not fought the party on tariff, on the
money question and on the income tax.
Men who are loyal and true aud ever
have been, and who are strong both at
home and away from home. We
cannot afford to take chances when
victory Is within NJ grasp, and the
nomination Of Hill would certainly be
playing with fate. We need the pop
ulist vote and we do not believe be
could get 1t.
II the democratic party, 10 its con-
Vention, should nominate Dir. Hill we
could and would support him because
we belisEs that they will act wisely,
but at the same lime We believe II will
place us IN q position not unlike that
occupied by the republican party. but
mush more ineTcusable. The repnb-
licans are attempting TO carry the
president through BY the sId Of a pop.
ulsr nan for Yice-prssldsnt. They
bad the president on their hands and
could not get rid Of him, aud are
partially eIcusabls. But what excuse
would there be for US TO place
an unpopular man on the democratic
ticket when We have q popular mau
for the presidency aud no excuse for
nominating any other kind for vice.

DEATH OF MIR. c, T. WOOD.

After a week OF severe suffering
from pneumonia, the death Of Mr.. c.
T. Wood occurred at his residence on
Sunday morning, April 8th, 1900, at the
age of 10 years. For many years he
was engaged in the cotton business and
his face and form were familiar TO our
people as he stood at his post on the
streets, through the soft sunshine of
autumn or the icy bleakness of winter.
In the discharge OF duty, he needed
not the conditions of weather nor the
requirements, even, Of health. Rug
ged, but not rough, quiet, but not cold
hearted, brave, but not defant-he
possessed a practical strength of mind
and character which rendered all his
dealings with his fellow-man honorable
and satisfactory. Forty-two years a
resident of Grenada, he became closely
identified with the interests of the
town. He was for twenty-seven years
City Treasurer. No greater assurance
Of confidence and esteem could be
shown by his townsmen than to make
him the custodian of the city moneys
for such a great length of time. Years
ago he was associated with Peacock &
Powell in the double capacity of clerk
and cotton buyer. fully meriting the
trust reposed in him by that splendid
firm.
Later, he was the faithful representa-
tive of the Newburger Cotton Co.,
holding the unlimited confidence and
personal friendship of each of its mem
bers. A kind husband and father. he
was a tower of strength to his home.
and leaves q devoted wife and large
family OF sons and daughters to mourn
their loss. Thus, has been removed
from the changing scenes of earth and
turbulent cares of life, one Of our old
est and most worthy citizens. The
stores were all closed for one hour at
the time of his funeral which took
place on Monday, April 9th, at All
Saints church, of which he was long a
member, and at one time a warden.
Rev. Irenaeus Trout conducted the sad
rites in most impressive and solemn
manner, after which the obsequies
were concluded with Masonic honors
at the grave in Odd Follows Cemetery.
The church was literally crowded with
friends who had come to pay their last
tribute OF love and respect to the
memory Of one who had so long been
associated with them.
