a. M, aged 20 years, 2 months, &c
days. She was born six miles
south of Mexico, January 4th,
1880, and moved with her parents
when quite small, to seven smiles
north of Mexico, where she lived
until called to her heavenly home.
She united with Gilead Baptist
church in July, 1895, where she
remained a faithful member. She
had been treasurer of Gilead
church ever since it was organized
and was the church clerk when she
died. She was loved by all who
knew her. She was an earnest and
faithful worker in all departments
Of church work. She leaves a faith
err, 4 sisters, 8 brothers aud a large
circle of friends to mourn her loss.
Her mother preceded her to the
grave 4 mouths. To-day our hearts
are sad and heavy, but faith tells
us we shall meet her in the beau
tiful land above. Look up, sor-
rowing ones, thru your tears and
see her in her happy state, enjoy
ing the attractions of heaven, aud
think Of the happy reunion that
will be by and by.
Father, sisters, brothers, remem-
Der that some day you will meet
Dear Rachel again where there will
e no more parting.

mains were laid to rest in the

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 win be cherished
Til we see thy heavenly face.
You have lost your darling sis ter,
She has bid you all adieu,
She has gone to dwell in heaven,
And her person is lost to view,
Oh, Dear Rachel, how we loyed herl
Oh, how hard to give her upI
But an angel came down for her,
And removed her from our flock.

Folk Carries Seven COun-
ties Last Saturday.

j. w. Folk y W has 93 dele
gates for governor and Reed 33.
OF course Halves claims Ill in St.
Louis, tho he ha none and will
get none outside st. Louis
jefferson City, Mo-, April A.
Folk stock has taken a sudde n
jump, as the result of the prima-
ries and conventions Saturday. In
each county Folk was successful
by a decided majority.
In Scott county primaries Folk
received 1858 votes TO 2S0 for
Halves, with one small township
to hear from that will swell Folk s
majority.
In Maries Folk won by l,026 to
10 for Reed and 16 for Halves.
In jefferson, Folk led Halves by
over l 200.
Cooper, Webster and Ozark
counties gave Folk substantial
majorities aud in fancy county
the two delegates were instructed
for the st. Louis Circuit Attorney,
st, Louis, April 4,-Politicians
who have closely observed the
trend of the Democratic guberna-
torial campaign and the recen t
gains of the Folk forces think the
state administration has seen the
handwriting on the WALL" and
the prediction is generally made
that within the next ten days there
will be a procession towards the
band wagon of Circuit Attorney
Joseph w. Folk.
In this connection the attitude
of Senator William j. Stone has
amused political observers. AS
Mr.. Folk and all his friends well
know, Missouri's Junior senator
was openly hostile to the st. Louis
prosecutor less than two months
ago and the meeting called to
boom the Presidential interests of
Senator Cockrell developed, thru
the agency Of Stone, Cook and
Seibert, a strong anti Folk senti-
ment. 1t has been assumed, be-
cause of the attitude of his lieu
tie nants, that Senator Stone favors
Mayor Reed of Kansas City. But
in the judgment of those who have
watched his political moves, what
Stone thinks and says and means
are distinctly different things.
" If Mr.. Folk is nominated I see
no reason why he should not re-
ceive the united support of the
Democratic party of the state and
l would lend my efforts in every
way possible to secure for him the
full party vote"
Thus Senator Stone indicated in
an interview last night, his inten-
ton tOjump into the Folk band
wagon at the most favorable of OPP
portunities. Stones utterances
have caused dismay among the
opposition. The constant conten-
tion6f Mr.. Halves and Mayor Reed
has been that the st. Louis circuit
a ttOrney is not entitled to the GU
bernatorial nomination" because he
is not a good Democrat" Stones
interview puts a new phase on the
situation. Inferentially, he says
Folk is a good Democrat and de-
serves t he support of the party if
nominated.
Folks sweeping victories in sew
en- counties Saturday is believed to
have affected materially the entire
situation.
