new home he had sought out.
SO full Of hope and promise. II
was in August last that Mrs Morse
left Marion for a journey (scross
the continent, slmost) to South
ern California, some 5000 and odd
miles, with her children. Arriv-
ing there they found a home wai.
ting for them, which the father
had provided.
Every care and attention was
shown Mr.. Morse, and all was
done that science could do, but
all to no avail.
He 10 survived by a wife and
ak children, the oldest Of whom,
Lee, is a fine boy about grown.
Mrs. Morse was Miss Ida Dean,
daughter of I. M. Dean, of the
Iron Hill nsighborhood, one of
the best citizens of the county.
She is related to many citizens of
this and adjoining counties.
Mr.. Morse was Mason in high
in the Bigham Lodge of
this place. No man who ever
lived here had greater energy
than j. II. Morse. He could and
did carry out some fine business
deals which made him an ample
competency On every hand are
evidences Of his thrift and bust
ness asumen. Many Of our best
business blocks were built by him
and some still bear his name.
Mr.. Morse was a believer in life
insurance and his family will now
reap the benefit of his good judg-
meat.

LETTER FROM COLORADO
A Former Crittendsn County Girl
Describes the Grandeur Of
Western Scenery.

Five months have passed away
since my arrival in Colorado, and
during that tins there has not been
a day but what the sun has shown
a part if not all the day.
Nothing can equal the beauti-
ful moonlight nights we have here,
and of an evening when / sit by
my window and look at these high
mountain peaks, with their sps-
ctral figures reaching up toward 4
clear blue sky in the shadow Of
the moon is something grand.
Winter We have had none CON-
pared to what l have been used to
there in Kentucky.
AS l write this the sun is shin
ing brightly, the day is so warm
that fires are not needed. We live
here at an altitude of 5000 feet,
and within % miles of the div;d-
ing range, where the snow is in
plain view every day in the year.
and one would naturally suppose
the winters would be severe. They
tell me occasionally there is what
they call a severe winter here, but
l know from the way they are de-
soribsd to me they can not CON-
pare with out ordinary winters
ont there.
Only yesterday l took . tramp
from early in the morning until
four in the afternoon camping
with my husband over the noun
tsins, without any wraps on.
How grand it is to get on one
OF these moantain peaks at an al
tituds of 10000 feet and look away
off in the distance and see a snow
capped peak a hundred or more
miles away. The air is 30 clear
and pure here, whore the view 10
not INSTRUCTED, one oan see obi cots
$50 or 200 miles away with the
naked eye. But ell of Colorado
surely can not be compared to the
ideal spot in which l live.
/ have not seen an inch of snow
here in Turret yet this winter and
that would be nearly all gone by
noontime.
There has been no rain since
September. l have the first slsst,
hail or windstorm to see yet.
There never hes been a sick per
son in the town since / have been
here, and when | pick up the dali
ly papers and read accounts Of the
storms and billiards there are in
other places, and read in the Press
