Death of Mrs. Myra [. S. HartweII.

By request we publish the follow
ing obituary, which appeared in a
McMinnville, Tenn, paper recently.
The deceased al at one time a resi-
dent of Craftsbury, her maiden name
being Miss Myra Scott
Mrs. Myra L.. s. Hartwell was born on the
2Sth Of June, 1924 and died in McMinnville,
June 9th, 1901. For years she was an ear
nest and consistent member of the Presby-
terrain chulch She was a very quiet and re-
firing woman, shrinking from all public ex-
hibition of her life work, yet kind and gentle
one who impressed those who knew her with
deep earnestness of nature. Through a long
and checkered life, with its many troubles,
sorrows and temptations she so lived as to
command the confidence and respect of the
community, and to bind herself closely to
her smaller circle of friends. She died a trust
ing follower of Jesus and now ~rejoices in the
full ~fruition of her christian hopes"

LII view of numerous complaints
and criticisms of the manner of con-
Quoting certain liquor agencies
throughout the state it was suggest
ed in these columns recently that it
would be in the interest of good tenn
perance work for the Anti-Saloon
League to make a thorough investi-
cation of the methods employed in
handling the several agencies in the
state and wherever abuses we're
found to insist that the legalized
places for the sale of liquor be run
strictly in accordance with the law.
Whereat our good neighbors, the st.
Adams Messenger and Burlington
Clipper rise to enquire, What has
the Anti-Saloon League to do with
this?" To elucidate briefly: Any
private citizen has q right to encour-
age and Insist upon the enforcement
of law if he believes his influence will
be greater by a combination with
other citizens who may have the same
object in view he has a moral and
legal right to do so. This is the fun
damental principal on which the Anti
Saloon League is based and as an or
ganization it has the same rights as
the individual in seeing to it that
public officials are faithful to the
trust imposed in them.-Northfeld
