A Tackinq.

On February End, in response to a
call from Mrs. ]. II. Wright, a nice
little company of her lady friends met
at their pleasant home two and half
miles northwest of Laclede, for the
purpose of tacking rags for a carpet,
and from an eyewitness we CLEAN the
fact that for tacking with tact, those
tackers were equal, if not superior, to
any tackers that ever tackled at q
tackers' tacking party. After an
hour spent pleasantly around Mrs.
Wright's well filled table of good
things, the tackers resumed hostilities
on the rag pile, and kept up a contin-
uous tacking of rags and balliDg the

Oscar Stice, aged IS, died at his
home one mile east of Pleasant Grove
schoolhouse southeast of Laclede last

but made his home with the Howard
family that lived on his farm.
The third number in the lecture

treat the people of Laclede seldom
have the opportunity of enjoying, and
it is regretted that more were not
present. Mr.. Hawks occupied the
pulpit at the M. E. church Sunday
morning, and preached a good SER
mon to large and appreciative audi
ence.
The seed and soil special run by
the Burlington brought more farmers
to Laclede yesterday than have been
here in many day. The train from
the south brought 387, and the trains
from the east and west brought many
more, which, added to the hundreds
who drove in from territory surround
ing Laclede, made the crowd large
one. The BLADE goes to press too
early to give an account Of the meet
ing.

the Burlington had to reduce its run

way to>do it was to reduce the num-

he was taken suddenly with la grippe,
which later developed into pneu-
monia. This, complicated with chron-
ic heart and kidney trouble, caused
his death.
The remains, accompanied by Mrs.

of Abba, Iowa, who were with him
during his last hours, arrived in La

to the family home.
The funeral service was held at the
M. E. church Thursday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Allen, assisted by
the pastor, Rev. Robson. As mark
of respect to the deceased and his
family, Mayor E. B. Allen issued a
proclamation requesting all business
houses and the public schools 10 close
during the hour of service. The very
large attendance at the funeral of
sympathizing neighbors and friends
attests the very high esteem in which
he was held.

1853 he removed with his parents to
La Sale county, Illinois, where his

his family to Missouri, and in July,

lived.
In 1861, he enlisted in the govern
ment service, but was rejected on ac-
count of disabilities. Later, he was
appointed captain of company of
government scouts, and served with
them to the end of the war. During
his life he filled many places Of trust
and honor. He served fourteen years
as mayor of Laclede. He took a
