readers will be surprised to see a
letter from "Old Missouri.
Your paper reaches our office
weekly and is highly appreciated
by all the members of our family;
also a few of our relatives. We
also think your paper is becoming
more and more interesting every
week.
This has been a very cold win
ter here, with plenty of snow and
sleet. The snow stayed on for
five weeks. We have not had a
rain for about three months, till
Thursday night. Everything got
considerably dry, farmers had
begun hauling water for their
stock. But now l believe we are
going to have early spring, and
prospects are fine for having good
crops this year.
Sales are now again in season:
There have been about twenty
sales around our community in
the last two months. Adult half
of the families are going to Cali
fornia. They all got discouraged
last year as we had such poor
crops. Corn is now selling at 81
cents per bushel. Wheat looks
very bad on account of dry
weather.

Hon. James Garrett was born
at a time in 1884 when many of
the men and women who lived
and fought through the war for
freedom liberty and independence
against the Government of Eng
land, 1776 to 1885, and many
more through the war with that
same enemy of American free
dom, 1912 to 1914, were yet alive,
and with the survivors of those
years and of the bloody war
marks were rejoicing in content
ment, peace and prosperity, and
when every home was a school
house teacher of patriotism and
Of prayer, and children were
happy in listening to the music
of drum and fife, Yankee Doc
die" and "How Firm a Founda-
ton We Saints of the Lord" and
while yet a little boy, was thor
oughly indoctinated in those
great foundation virtues which
adorned his entire manhood life,
until the death call at his home
closed his long life. and he was
hidden to come up into the high
er chamber and rest amongst the
saints of God, dressed in the
white-robcd uniform of that de-
partment of the heavenly home.
Early in his life beginnings up
on earth, he listened to the truth
announced by the Savior to Mic
odemus, and sought to be born
again, as was therein taught to
that ruler, and to KNOW Of the
new life; was born again and from
then till his voice and life activ-
tiles were hushed at deaths door
was a ready and willing witness
unto his many thousand COM
rades on the march, for the 'Lov-
er of his SOUL"
He was a lawyer and pro-
found jurist, and in his chosen
avocation met and mingled with
hundreds of lawyers, judges, jur-
les, clients and other citizens,
and l venture the statement and
testimony which / am glad to
bear, that every lawyer and judge
with whom he practiced or had
any considerable association, or
business discussion or transac-
ton, learned and recollected that
he was on the Lords side, and so
it was his life outgiving testi-
mony as the representative of the
good people of his county, and
as Senator in the State Legisla-
ture, that he loved the Bible and
the church, the Sabbath day, and
stood for Christ and his King
dom.

the bench, at his home and when
he was away from home, and at
the Capital Of his state, in the
midst Of all the dashy show and
glitter, beauty and temptations
of fashionable society and amuse-
ments, and the eXcitements that
swell up and command the human
passions, in success and in disap-
pointment, and in every instance
and upon all occasions he was a
marked man Of the highest Chris
tan type.
In politics he was a Democrat,
firm and true, but not imperious
or intolerant, was always ready
to favor and help in every way to
success any and all measures
clothed in what seemed best for
the country, whether proposed by
Democrats or any Of the adverse
parties Of his day.
And so in religion and church,
