Ray Huskey killed rattle snake
last Friday. 1t was in bean patch
near where he was at work, and his
attention was attracted to it by the
barking of his dog which was Sc
verely bitten by it. 1t was not
large one as it only had five rattles.
Our school opened Monday with
Prof. J. n. Robbins as teacher. He
taught our school two years ago
and gave general satisfaction, and
it is safe to predict good school
this term, as the enrolment of al

Obituary..

Mary E. Francis, wife of F. NJ.
Francis, was born April 16, 1866,
and departed this life September 7,
1904. She was united in holy matri-
mony to F. NJ. Francis, March %,
1885, and to this union was born
four children, three of whom survive
her, one, Charley, having preceded
her only a few months.
Sister Francis professed faith in
Christ and joined the NJ. E. Church
South in 1885, and lived faithful
and devoted Christian life to the
day of her death. To suffer loss with
out complaint; to have that which
is nearest and dearest taken from us,
and yet never question the wisdom
and goodness of Him who gives and
takes at His own will; is the faith
that overcomes. Why God should
chasten as He does is more than
human understanding can divine.
This one thing we know: 1t is the
Lord and He doeth all things right.
How she loved and toiled for her
children, and they and their father
loved their sweet mother. She was
a companion and mother; loved in
her home. How true it is that, "This
world owes a debt to the good and
faithful mothers that it cannot pay"
That this may be an unbroken
circle in our Fathers home, where
no suffering nor death can enter, and
where all tears are wiped from all
eyes. The eternal God is our refuge
and underneath are the everlasting
arms.

Urges Attendance of Missourians

To THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI:
The Worlds Fair City on yester-
day won distinction in the enthusi
asm and attendance displayed in
celebrating St. Louis Day. Unstint-
ed praise is due the people of that
enterprlsing metropolis.
Missouri should emulate the ex-
ample of ST. Louis, in appreciation
ofthe greatest Industrial Exposition
of the ages. The opportunity will
soon be afforded. The Missouri Com
mission and the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company have setapart
Tuesday,
OCTOBER IL, AS MISSOURI DAY.
1t will be the last distinctive OPP
portunity for the organized assem-
blage of Missourians during the
progress of the Exposition.
Missouri Day, in attendance,
should surpass all others. 1t can be
done. Systemstic effort by the Press
and the people from the Ozarks to
the Iowa line and from the Missis-
sippi to the Kansas border will bring
to st. Louis on that occasion a vast
multitude Of Missourians.
The Metropolitan and Country
Press, [ am sure, will lead the way.
The chief officers Of Cities, Towns,
Counties, Commercial Clubs and
other organizations should heartily
cooperate and give one day to the
glory of this Commonwealth.
Transportation facilities will be
ample. Extremely satisfactory rail
road rates are already assured.
/ A great military parade, consist
ing of a detachment Of the regular
army, the entire national guard OF
our state and other military organi-
cations, will be one of the attractive
features of the occasion.
| Now, Therefore, 1, Alexander M
Dockery, Governor of Missouri do
earnestly request that all public
Offices be closed, October IL, 1904

, usual avocations to celebrate al
event which gave that resplenden
