James Jewell

died at his home in Mineral Point,
Saturday evening, December II.
He was born in Redruth, Cornwall,
England, in March, 1886; came to
Mineral Point when "a years of age;
seven years later he was married to
Miss Catherine hampshire, of which
union one daughter remains with the
wife and mother to mourn. Mr.. Jew
ell was very sick over q year ago,
from the effects of which he never fully
recovered, and when this winter be-
gan he was again Frustrated with dis
ease that medical skill and good ca e
could not overcome, and his earthly
life came to an end. In his last days
he called upon God, and we believe
that he had hope in his death. The

dece on Tuesday, December Is.

think that receiving a few hundreds for

constant menace to the election Of any
man to office who was not known to be in

would get the profits from the business
instead OF its going to the taxpayers Of

in saying that if left to a vote of our
