pending in the district court. Suppose

The GRIM REAPER.

Tha very sad and unwelcome news
of the death of Mrs. Geo. G. Smith was
received here last Wednesday. Mrs.
Smith died at tha home OF her sister-ln
law in Marshall, Mo, while there on a
visit. She died January 18th.
We clip the following from the Mar.
shall Index:
Mrs. Sarah Smith died at the home of
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Squier,
on Odell avenue, Friday morning at $40
O'Clock, aged 81 years.
Mrs. Smith was born in Ohio in 1868
and was the daughter of DR.. E. and
Katherine Showalter. The deceased
left her birthplace with her parents when
but mere child, going to Michigan,
where she resided but short time. Her
parents then moved to Waterloo, Iowa,
where she was united in marriage with
George G. Smith on December 81, 1887.
The newly welded couple located in Bar
Der county, Kansas, where they have
since resided.
During the Thanksgiving holidays
Mrs. Smith, with her husband and two
little children, came to Marshall to spend
the winter with relatives.
Mrs. Smith was confined but short
time and her death seems almost I'M
bearable to the broken-hearted husband
and children who, by her death, have
lost life's greatest blessing kind and
loving mother, much devoted wife.
She was a most lovable christian char
acter and her aim in this life has ever
been to do things pleasing to her Mas
ter. She leaves a husband and three
small children aged II, Georgia,
aged 6, and little babe but four days
old. She also leaves a mother, three
brothers and sister-all living in Cali
fornia-to mourn her demise.
The remains were taken to Auxvasse,
Galloway county, to be laid to rest beside
the husbands father and mother in
Auxvasse church cemetery.
The friends of Mr.. Smith. in this
county-and they are limited only by
population-are panied to learn of his
sorrow aud great misfortune. During
their four years residence in this city
they endeared themselves to all and ev-
erybody regretted when they returned
to their farm in Moore township. And
now that fate has decreed final separ.
alton from one who was such a kind
friend, all that remains is a fond re-
memberance Of her many virtues
among us.

THE EXTRA SESSION hotels in
Richmond are filling up rapidly with
members OF the legislature and poll
ticians 10 advance Of the meeting Of
that body tomorrow. Three of the
candidates for the Supreme Court
judgeship have suites OF rooms In
Murphy's Hotel, and are prosecuting
an active canvass. This method of
working for Supreme Court judgeship
is without precedent 10 Virginia, and
has created much comment. The con-
test between judges Whittle, Mann and
Phlegar is very close. The question OF
whether any other legislation than the
arranging ofthe constitutional conven-
ton will be permitted at the extra seq
sion is still an open question, and will
be likely fought out in caucus, rather
than on the floor. Should any general
legislation be permitted, the matter Of
more cell room 10 the pepitentisry
would be vigorously advocated. The
condition Ia admittedly horrible, and
pnblic opinion is extremely active on
the subject.
