JAM EST. STONE.
A GOOD CITIZEN, TRUE FRIEND AND BRAVE
SOLDIER.
Written in Memory of One Who Had
For Eighty or More Years Particl-
pated In the Joys and Pleasures as
Well IS the Trials and Dlsappoint-
ments of This Lille.

On the morning of the fourth of De-
cember, 1902, this aged soldier of the
Coniederacy and OF the Christ was called
TO surrender and stack arms and close
his eyes on the transitory things OF this
world Thus he quietly fell asleep to
wake no more until the resurrection
morn. At that time the glorious voice
of God shall call with authority and
wake up the nations of the dead. To
those he left behind to follow after him,
his wife and dear children, while you
know his spirit has returned to God who
gave it, his body to the earth as it was,
he cannot return to you but you can go
to him if you are faithful to the Lord and
Master. Remember the loved one that
has been taken away from you was a
soldier of the Cross of Christ. He lived
and died trusting in Jssus for eternal
life. Put your trust in God and follow
our Lord and He will take you to that
Heavenly mansion prepared for all those
that love and serve Him.
1t is meet and proper that l write in
this connection few lines concerning
him az a soldier who fought On the bat
tlefields of Virginia, Maryland and Penn
syvania in defense of his beloved South
land. He bore conspicuous part on
the field of bat tie and was true and loyal
to the cause for which he fought. North
Carolina can boast OF her honored sons,
but a drawer and better soldier never lett
her borders than James T. Stone. He
was ever ready to discharge his duty in
camp, on the march and on the field OF
battle whenever and wherever duty
called. He never shirked a duty. He
was wounded and shed his blood on the
field of battle for his country. He be-
longed to Company G, 23rd North Caro-
lima Regiment.
Comrades, the sun of life is fast going
down with the old Veterans. Soon there
will not one be left to tell the story Of
the Civil War. So. comrades put on the
whole armor of God and fight the great:
est battle ever fought. You.and l will
have to fight it to the finish, Live right
and we will gain the victory.
Comrades, our arms are grounded, oui
ranks are broken,
The brazen bugle sounds the charge nc
We are waiting orders till the word ii
spoken
TO Join our comrades on the other shore
Written by his Nephew and Comrade,
J.F. COGHILL.

cleverest and most popular-if they
are not the best looking-men in the

BEET GROWERS
ASSOCIATION

Denver, Dec PA Fort Collins
special to the News last night says:
The Farmers Beet Growers Associ-
alton met this afternoon at the District
Court room and elected officers for the
ensuing year, as follows: J. s. Nc
Clelland. president; Peter Anderson,
vice president; R. Q. Tenney. secre-
tary; I. B. Harris, E. L. Abel, Hugh
Strachan and j. L. Smith, executive
committee. Another committee, con-
sisting of J. S. McClelland. Walter
Laidlaw, r. Bumpstead and F. Breni-
man, was appointed, whose business
will be to represent the association in
conference with the sugar factory man
agement in regard to the price that will
be paid for beets in the future.
A resolution was presented and
unanimously passed that not MEM
ber of the association would sign con-
tracts to grow beets at the advanced
schedule offered by the sugar factory
people. Most Of the farmers live at
such a distance from the factory that
it will be necessary for them to ship
,beets, and the increase offered few
weeks ago only means 25 cents per ton
to these farmers. and they do not re-
gard that amount as being any induce
ment.
The association adjourned this even
ing to meet again at the call OF the
president, which will probably be with
IN two weeks, as the question OF con-
tract is now the principal topic OF in
terest being considered by the beet
growers OF northern Colorado.
The sugar factory people have their
agents out among the beet growers and
they report that the men who last year
made money raising beets are signing
the new contract. and in some instances
are doubling their acreage grown last
year.

eral hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse Of fifty citizens of Kiowa.

ed by the explosion. The bank build
ing was partially wrecked, the damage
to the building being about $500.
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use of crowbars, through a rear
window. While two of the men did the
work of blowing the safe, three re-
mained outside the building as guards.
The first explosion was a failure, max
ing loud report, but doing little dam
ageA The citizens heard the noise, and
arming themselves with revolvers and
shotguns, hurried to the bank.
At the command Of leader of the
citizens. a volley was fired atNhe rob-
bers. who were visible through the
shutters. The fire was returned by the
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked. the three men outside kept up
a steady fusilade with the posse of cit
izens. 1t took three explosions to open
the safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money and, leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away in the darkness. The posse fol-
lost the trail
While the citizens believe that one
Of the robbers was injured, not one OF
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire ofthe rob-
bers by stock pens in the rear of tho
