Fearless and Independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is CON
spicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non
craftsmanship in the columns of a great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an indie
pendent newspaper, in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of the public good
and not from that of the interests of any
particular political party. 1t is the very
reverse of neutral fearless and out
spoken on all the great questions of the
day, but presenting its editorial opinion
upon independent judgment and entire
ly regardless of political affiliations. Par
tisanship is barred as strictly from the
news columns as from the editorial page
All political news is given, without parti-
san coloring, thus enabling the reader to
form correct conclusions for himself. liz
the ordinary partisan newspaper politi'
cal news is usually colored to such ar
extent as to make it difficult il not i'm.
possible for the reader to secure SOUND
basis for intelligent judgment.

WORTH Indiana, May 10, 1917. She was
married to Absalom Black in 1885. They

to Decatur county, Iowa, in 1868. To
them were born ten children, three of
whom are still living, they being Alb
SALON Black, of Western Nebraska, Mrs.
Serepta Clearwater, of Omaha, Neb., and
Samuel Black, of Decatur City, Iowa.
Her husband died in 1873 and during
her thirty one years Of widowhood she
has devoted herself to the care of her
family, her especial care being for her
afflicted son Samuel for whom alone she
desired to live, and who was her only
source of solicitude during her last
sickness. Her last conscious moments
were spent III expression of tender
affection for him.
Sister Black passed from earth in De-
catur City, Iowa, July s, 1904, at the ad-
vanced age of 81 years, month and %
days. Her death was from old age.

about three months during which he1
sufferings were quite severe. She was
raised in the Presbyterian faith but for
nearly fifty years had been a member of
the M. E. church. She was faithful
and devoted wife and mother and con-
sistent Christian. To her, death had
lost it's sting. She repeatedly told her
friends that she was ready to depart
and be with Christ. After the funeral
she was buried beside her husband ia
the Decatur cemetery.
