DEATH or a PIONEER CITIZEN.
James c. Carothers Passed Away at the Family
Home Last Wednesday.

In the death of James G. Carothers,
which occurred at his home in this
city last Wednesday night, Laclede
loses one of her oldest and best known
citizens. Some two years ago he suf-
fered stroke of paralysis, since which
time he has been almost helpless.
The late Mr.. Carothers was born in
huntington county, Pennsylvania,
September II, 1888. In 1859 he
came to Laclede and here resided till
the war began. He then took his
family back to Pennsylvania and en-
listed for defense of the union in Co.
|. of the 149th Penn. in 1862 and
took part in several engagements. In
February, 1865, his regiment was Or
dered to New York to guard prisoners
and Mr.. Carothers was transferred to
the gunboat service and placed on the
steamer Grosbeak, where he served to
the close of the war. He then brought
his family back to Laclede, where
they have since resided. For a num-
Der of years he worked at carpentry
in the summer and taught school in
the winter.
He has served the city as mayor
and alderman, and has been a mem
Der Of the school board, and served as
postmaster under the Harrison admin
lstration, and in each position gave
good satisfaction.
He was married in 1856 to Miss M.
j. Lomax, of Laclede, who, with elev-
en- of their fourteen children, survives
him.
The funeral services were held at
the family home yesterday afternoon,
by Rev. Atwood, and tho
remains laid to rest in the Laclede
cemetery. He was a member Of the
Presbyterian church and for many
years has been the leading spirit in
the local organization. By his death
Laclede lost good citizen, and his
a mily loving head and father.

The week ending June 1S was gem
orally clear, dry and cool. The first
half Of the week was abnormally cool

was warmer, although the mean tenn
perature remained below the normal,

est day of the week. The percentage

southern counties, and above the av-
erage in most of the northern counties.
The precipitation was deficient in
all sections except the southwest.
Showers occurred on the 18th, 14th

THE BLADE APPRECIATED IN SEATTLE.
A Former Citizen Makes Comparisons With
LacIede Paper Of 1864.
DEAR BLADE

DEAR BLADE
We still appreciate the weekly visit
of the old home paper and are pleased
with the evidences Of its continued
prosperity. We note the improve
ments made. from time to time, in its
makeup and reading matter. The
Evening Reveries" column is unique
and contains some of the worlds best
thoughts, such as are calculated to
uplift and inspire the souls that seek
and long for the highest good in life.
The LAcLEDE BLADE oftoday pre-
sents fine example ofprogressive ev-
olution, when compared with the first
Laclede paper that I subscribed for.
wish I had saved my first copy Of
the little sheet that was published in
the year 1864. There was no patent
inside at that time. In the local col
umu of the issue of the first week in
July of that year was a paragraph
noting the sale Of the Miles farm by
Jack Mize, the then owner, to Sling
erland Brothers, of New York state,
who were to take possession at the be-
ginning of the next year, and welcom-
ed the courageous newcomers who
were not afraid of big weeds and
bushwhackers.
The names of the paper and of the
editor and publisher I do not now re-
call. The latter was brawny Scotch
Irish looking fellow, of sandy COM
plexion, with frizzly hair. whiskers
and freckles to match. In a rickety
two-story building that stood near
where is now the Benson home, in the
front part of the upper room, and
reached by an outside stairway, was
the printing office, press room, mailing
room and reception room all in one.
The lower floor. sometime bowling
alley and pool room, was then occu-
pied by the town militia, or guard, as
a sort of arsenal and rendezvous, be-
ing near the palisade in the public
square, and handy to reach at the first
signal of an approaching enemy. The
inimitable Nose Roush was the offic-
,er in command, | think, at that time.
Of course, the Laclede paper was
mighty interesting reading during the
following months to US in New York.
Our deepest interests in the future
were centered in the little town in far |
off Missouri. The raids in Linneus,
Laclede and the country south of
town, and all the devilment of Guam
trell and Holtzclaw and the like,
made thrilling news to us. But |
enough of the past. Laclede today |
may well think highly of herself; her
paper, her business houses, her resi-
dences, her religious and educational
institutions, her good citizens and pro-
gressive spirit are all right. Laclede,
beautiful for situation! Long may
she thrive!

chimes announcing that Cupids arrow
had been well aimed and two gla
souls had been welded into one.
The bride was Miss Lena Recto
Barton, the cultured and winsom
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Bal
ton, Of this city. In winning he
heart the fortunate bridegroom VOL
all that is good in maidenhood; il
gaining her hand he gained Chris
tian support for his life's work and
lovable wife for his home companion
The bridegroom, Rev. G. G. Hatch
er, is we'll known in this community
was for nearly four years pastor of the
Baptist church at this place, during
which time he showed his sterling
qualities as pastor and gentleman,
Over year ago he was called by the
Baptist church at Hamilton, where he
is now pastor.
About six o'clock on the evening
announced, the invited guests began
to arrive, and soon fftythree guests
were present.
A few minutes before $50 Miss
Kathryn Felt, in her usual pleasing
manner, sang beautiful epithalami-
um, at the close Of which Miss Eunice
Thompson struck the chords of the
wedding march. At $50 the bride
and bridegroom took their places be-
meath the wedding bells hanging from
a wreathed support. Rev. W. l..
Hatcher, brother of the bridegroom,
then made the twain one. The magic
words were soon spoken, and the hap
py pair were receiving congratulations
and good wishes from the friends
present.
Delectable refreshments were then
served to the merry guests, after which
the wedding cake was cut. Many
hopeful countenances fell when Miss
Ora Walker found the ring.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hatcher left at s:45I
for Hamilton, where Rev. Mr.. Hatch
er had already fitted beautiful home.
A large number of friends accompan-
led them to the depot and gave them
the usual shower of rice, and an unus-
ual shower of shoes and good wishes.
Few couples begin their career to-
gether with as many friends and as
bright prospects for doing good as this
couple does. Both are blessed with
those rare good qualities which go to
make a home happy and life useful.
In parting from our midst Mr.. and
Mrs. Hatcher carried with them the
love of a host Of admiring friends.
May they receive the rich blessings
of life which their high ideals and no.
BILE natures cause them to deserve.

luncheon made the guests feel that
there was nothing more to be desired.
Many unfavorable comments are
being passed on the new concrete
crossing put in this week at the cor
ner Of OLIVE and Vernon streets. 1t
is not in accord with the edict issued
from the street department that prop
erty owners in building granitoid
walks must maintain an even grade.
The order is good one and is being
observed over town, yet the city puts
in a sway-back crossing connecting
the walks of F. F. Pratt and j. FL.
Willard. This is what the property
owners on Olive street object to and
are registering a vigorous kick. The
matter will probably be taken before
The city council at the next meeting.
