A GAVHL TO THE MASONS

At meeting Of the Masonic lodge
night for the installation Of
J. W. McGrew, through his
friend Geo. P. Venable, presented the
order with perhaps the handsomest
gavel in Missouri Mr.. Venable read
the following letter.
June 20, 1898.
To Lexington Lodge, No. l40, A. f.
and A. NJ, Lexington, Mo-,
Gentlemen:-While on our recent
visit and sightseeing in the city Of
Jerusalem, my wife and 1 visited "Sol-
onions Quarries, " on Monday, March9,
1903, and while on the inside of these
quarries down deep under the surface
of the city of Jereusalem and back
from the narrow entrance to the quar-
ries some several hundred yards, we
we're shown the dark recess or site
where the visiting Masons often hold
their meetings, and it occurred to me
while there to take home to my Ma
sonic friends a souvenir from these
quarrieS, l therefore selecteda stone
and carried it out with me and had
the stone turned sin Jerusalem, " had
the handle made of "Olive wood" in
Jerusalem, and the trimmings of 81
yer made in New York; and now
take pleasure in presenting the COM
plete gavel to your lodge as token of
friendship and good will, trusting you
will accept it in the same spirit.
Yours Truly,
JIG, MCGREw
The gravel is of beautiful white
stone, about two inches in greatest
diameter by three inches long, heav-
lily trimed in silver, with silver
scutcheon on each side, the one bear
ing the inscription:
presented to Lexington Lodge
No. l49, A. f. and A. M. by J. C.
McGrew, May 5, 1903, " And the other:
"From Solomons Quarries, Jerusalem,
March, 1908"
Masonry being half religion, the
Masons will doubtless prize this gift
even more for the historic associations
Of the material from which it is made
than for its handsome and costly
character.
The lodge appointed a committee
consisting OF ], S. Blackwell, Geo. P.
Venable and R. N Cook to draft ap-
propriate resolutions Of thanks.

DEATH OF R. I. JESSE.


Died, Wednesday morning, June
"a, at his home on Main and 18th
streets, R. 7. Jesse, aged 65 years and
months
Mr.. Jesse had been in declining
health for several years aud for the
past eight or ten months had been
confined to his room nearly all the
time and to his bed much of the time.
Only within the past few weeks had
his friends despaired of his recovery.
Richard Thornton Jesse was born
in Caroline county, Virginia, January
26, 1888. His father was planter.
He received his preparatory education
10 a private school of his county and
then entered the University Of Vir-
ginia, where he would have graduated
in June, 1861, had he not responded
to The call TO arms month earlier.
at the very beginning of the war
he enlisted-May l, 1861-in Com
pany f, SOth Virginia Infantry,
Pickett's Division. He was in every
considerable engagement Of the Army
of Virginia from the Battle of
Manassas Junction to the surrender
at Appomattox-Bull Run, Seven
Days, Seven Pines, Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville, The Wilderness,
Gettysburg, Antetam Creek, Malvern
Hill and many others.
At the conclusion of the war he
taught school one year in Virginia,
two 10 Alabama and six in Mason
county, Kentucky. 10 1874 he came
to this county where 10 the fall of the
same year he married Mrs. S. @.
Perkins, formerly Miss Early, of Ken
lucky, who survives him. During the
first four years of his residence here
he was engaged in farming. Then
he became a clerk in store for two
years, and in 1880 he entered into
business for himself-the grocery
business, which he successfully con-
Quoted for about ten years, after
which he engaged In the real estate,
loop and ipcnrapca bnciuaoc
Mr. Jesse leaves only one near rela-
srtive, a sister, Miss Mary E. Jesse, of
New London, Caroline county, Va.
Mr.. Jesse was a member Of the
Baptist church and had been for many
years a church officer. He was a
religious man both by temperament
and practice. The interests of his
church held the first place in his
thoughts and to them he was evel
faithful. Before his death he re-
Quested that the funeral services bt
held at the church, and that instead
of a regular funeral sermon, the
services should consist of short talks
by the brethren, songs and prayers
He requested that "How Firm {
Foundation" and "Jesus, Lover o.
NY Soul" be sung. He selected al
pail bearers Messrs. M. F, Royle, W
H. Chiles, J. G. Worthington, G.'W
Carr, Walter B. Waddell, G. H. Stler
The funeral services were held a
the Baptist church Friday morning a
10 o'clock.
A large attendance of friends auc
brethren testified to the appreciation
in which his character was held
His requests as to the service wer
complied with. After brief talk b.
DR.. Riggs, the pastor, DR.. Hyde

Dle drift into cheap labor to supply
personal needs. They become educat-

their education has been planned by
thinking parents, or later in life
when they accidentally think for
themselves in time to execute the

The basis of all true skilled knowl-

cases between the ages of eight and
fifteen, when the child's services are
not so valuable as in later life. His
apprenticeship can be completed by
