An HOnOred Citizen Gone.

EariY on the morning OF July 20
1908, Charles y. Teeter paid the debt
that all must sooner or later meet.
Mr.. Teeter had been in failing health
for some time, but able to walk
about the room until a short time
before bis death The deceased had
resigned himself to the inevitable
some time before the end came, and
was fully prepared when the dread
messenger should call. All his bust
ness affairs were arranged, even to
the details OF his funeral. The end
came very peacefully and was only q
sleep that knows no earthly waking.
The remains we're laid to rest in the
Cloud burying ground at ten O'Clock
a. m. Thursday, followed by a large
concourse Of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The pail bearers we're NJ. S.
Keirsey. ] S. Arbuckle, F. NJ. Fort
and W. A. Vest Of Ballard, j. Fl. Nc.
Combs and O. Wariord Of Adrian.
The services at the grave consisted
in the singing Of several songs by the
Fairview Sunday School and the
reading OF a number Of poems by 7.
d, Embree. These were from the pen
OF deceased and were selected some
days before by him. Death was due
to kidney trouble.
Mr.. Teeter leaves a widow, three
grown sons and a daughter, Mrs. W.
E. Mosher, two brothers and a sis
ter, Mrs. A. NJ. Abbott, to mourn
their loss. One son died In infancy
and a daughter, Mrs, o. c. Rogers
preceded him to the next world five
years.
The subject Of this sketch was born
in the state Of New York, Aug. %,
1892, and moved with his fathers
family to Wisconsin when about
twelve years Of age. Here he grew
to manhood. In 1862 he started
west to seek his fortune, stopping
first In Colorado, but soon seeking
the newly discovered gold mines OF
Idaho. Here he Joined his brother
Darius, who had preceded him to the
west two years, and for the next three
years engaged in mining, merchan
dising, freighting from Salt Lake
City and Umatilla, Oregon. He also
made trips to San Francisco, Cal.
Having accumulated some property
he returned to Wisconsin, where he
was married to Eliza J. Hill on April
8, 1866. In May OF the same year
he moved to Butler, Mo-, where he
resided one year. In the spring of
1867, he purchased 100 acre tract
Of land in Shawnee township, and by
industry and economy added to that
until at the time OF his death he own.
ed one OF the best improved farms in
Bates county, consisting OF about
400 acres.
Mr.. Teeter was a well informed
man and in bygone days taught
school. He was good writer, pub.
fishing a book OF poems in 1896, en-
titled Household Gems" In politics
he was a republican, but always con-
sentative in his views.
In his religious views he was not
on the popular side, living and dying
strong believer in spiritualism. We
can truthful say that Charles Teeter
lived an honorable, upright and con-
sistent, moral life, always true to his
convictions. And in his death Bates
county and the community have lost
one of their best citizens. Z.

Hoodlums at Clinton.
Clinton Democrat.


Some fellow with a revolver and

mortals. emptied his weapon at the
court house sometime last night.
Two Of the shots went through win
dows into the county collectors Of

office, cutting neat little holes
through the glass. Some three or
four bullets flattened out on the
stone wall, and did no damage what
ever. The fellow, il caught, should
be severely dealt with, as such reck-
less shooting is dangerous to life.
