Obituary.

Carrie r. Thomas, nee Digges, was
born in Nelson county, Virginia, Oct.
16, 1880. She joined the church and
was baptized at the age of seven; mar
ried VIM. Thomas Sept. Is, 1919;
came to Missouri Nov, 1890, bringing
her slaves, of which only one survives;
died March 16, 1908, aged about IS
years.
This is a bright, glad and beautiful
world, fragrant with the odor of flow
ere, tuneful with the songs of birds,
resplendent with the glories of earth,
sea and sky, and yet it's attractions are
now unnoticed by US, for grim, merci-
less death has appeared in our midst
and snatched from US our mother.
The world indeed seems cherries, and
In our hearts there is a dreary, dismal,
aching void. The only consolation
that is vouchsafed 10 US is the sweet
realization of the fact that our beloved
is at peace. The one upon whom we
have lavished our affection is now In
that land s'wkere the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at
rest" Bending over the open coffin,
looking at the folded hands which will
never clasp ours again in this world;
gazing upon the closed eyes in which
we will never more see our image re-
iected, our scalding tears fall as we
realize that our earthly mother is

will never more be racked with the
agonies of pain. Suffering is at an
end, and it will only be a little while
until we will cross the dark river and
join her among the host Of the saved
on the other shore. She was sick
only thirteen days. During that time
she talked about dying, and said she
was perfectly satisfied to die. When
asked by Brother Charleston if she had
any favorite song she would like to
have sung, she asked him to sing
Nearer My God to Thee" "'Tis SO
Sweet to Trust In Jesus" and clark,
From the Tomb"
The remains were laid to rest in the
family grave yard near home. She
leaves seven children, four sons and
three daughters, and a host of friends
to mourn her loss,
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart.
IT'S hard, SO hard, to speak the words,
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, We must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we See thy heavenly face.
A FRIEND.

A Remarkable Case.

The REGISTER had heard of a re-
markable cure at the hands of DR.. w.
J.. Smith, Osteopath, and meeting the
patient one day last week, the reporter
had an interesting conversation with
her. She is Martha Elizabeth Hasty,
aged about thirty-six years, daughter
of Mr.. Joseph Hasty, a well known
and respected citizen of the Valley.
Upon being Intercepted as to the facts
in her case, Miss Hasty said:
..About twelve years ago | had a
fall on the ice, and a spell of sickness
followed. lost my voice completely
and was unable to converse, having no
power over the organs of speech. |
tried the resident physicians but they
afforded me no relief, and l also had
to many patent medicines
without avail. Hundreds of dollars
we're spent in this way, Finally, about
three months ago l was induced to
apply to DR.. Smith, and after two or
three treatments | began to improve,
Now, AM thankful to say, after nearly
twelve years. enforced silence, my
speech is fully restored, and my gen.
eral health lie good"
Miss Hasty's speech is smooth and
even, there being no suggestion Of i'm
pediment, OF any kind. The loss OF
speech was occasioned by the partial
dislocation of some bone in the neck
l can't begin to remember Its jaw
breaking name-and as soon as it was
restored to place, the trouble was
over. I consider 1t one Of the most
remarkable cures ever brought to my
notice. Miss Hasty and her ability to
exercise freely the recognized pre-,
negative of womankind IS In evidence,
and the readers Of the REGISTER can
verify these statements by calling upon
her.

In many places the prisoners In the
county Jail are made to work on the
road ways Of the county and city where
the Jail is. Why could not the pris-
ouers in the county Jail at Ironton be

any man is preferable to confinement
and the opportunity to give these men,
who many times are prisoners not
entirely through their own fault, a
chance to employ their time probably
would be no doubt appreciated by the
prisoners aud a boon to this city. Y.

Beyond all Comparisons.

One of the many factors contribut-
ing to the remarkably rapid and solid
growth of St. Louis is the marvellous
development of the southwest and
other territory tributary to that city in
all lines of trade. In 1904 there will
be beld the greatest Worlds Fair in
the world. The Presidential campaign
will also take place. To keep in
formed with the whole world you
should subscribe at once for that peer
of newspapers. The twice-a-yeek St.
Louis Republic; 1t is indispensable to
the farmer, merchant or professional
man. Its telegraphic and cable SER
vice excels that of any other paper.
1t prints the news fully; not imagin-
alive occurrences, but domestic and
worldwide facts. 1t is Democratic in
politics, but distinctly a national news
paper and family journal. The SUBJ
scriptior price of $l.00 gives you two
papers each week, 104 papers a year.

New York, March 14.--If the plans form
lated at the meeting held In the offices of
Andrew H. Green and attended by con-
siderable number Of busines men are car
ried out, an international convention in
cluding all the peoples of the continent OF
North America, will be assembled at some
place yet to be designated and an organ-
zation will be formed to promote contl-
mental system Of waterways for deep sea
vessels and the. canalization Of the rivers
of the continent from ocean to ocean.
The plans contemplate the ultimate
cruising of great ocean vessels about the
interior of the continent and the creation
of continental system of water power
for use in the production. distribution and
construction of reservoirs for irrigation
The national government, according to
the plan, will furnish funds. The pro-
moters pledge themselves to induce the
government to undertake the job
The comprehensive propect originated
in resolution introduced in the state sen
ate recently by Senator Lewis looking
toward the construction by the govern
nent Of ship canal between the lakes and
Atlantic tideWater.
Ethan Allen spoke of the project an6
then launched boldly upon the great con
tinental reclama ton enterprise.
'sAt present" said Allen. "the cost OF
the distribution and transportation in this
country exceeds the cost Of production
and therefore is: burdensome tax on the
producer and the consumer. Ten billior
dollars will construct a continental sys.
tenn of deep sea canals and the canalizatior
of our rivers and; at the same time create
| a water power equal to 5O,000,OOO hors,
power, or 100000 man power"
