In Memory of Mrs. pond.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
No woman could have higher tribute
paid to her memory than has already
been paid to Mrs. Pond, 20 good wife
and mother" and yet I want to add
just a word in the capacity in which
L knew her, a friend and neighbor, a
warm sympathetic wholesouled friend,
and helpful neighbOr, in the best sense
of helpfulneSs. In my acquaintance
with her never heard her speak i'll of
any one, or utter an unfriendly critic
ism. What an influence on those with
whom she came in contact and those
whose daily life she touched. AS 1 think
of her, it seems as if these lines must
have been or might have been original
with her: There is SO much good in
the worst of US, and so much bad in the
best of us that it hardly becomes any
The influence for good such a memory
has on a community can hardly be es-
timated. May we all initiate her many
virtues, so that we may leave the world
at least our little world, better, bright
er and happier because we have passed
a few years in it, on our way to the
Great Hereafter. Could she speak to
her family and to the human family at
large, in her own sweet way, she would
say:
Comfort one another
For the way is often dreary
And the feet are often weary
And the heart is very sad;
Comfort one another
With the hand clasp close and tender
With the sweetness love can render
And the looks of friendly eyes.

Speaking of the candidacy of Mr..
Charlton. the Caney News says:
Mr.. Charlton says that he has been
solicited by party leaders all over the
district to make the race but he has
not yet decided to do so. Should he
make up his mind to become a can
didate. there viii be something doing
in the Third district. He has a fac
ulty for running ahead of his ticket
that would make him dangerous op-
ponent. regardless of the nominal Re

county attorney, he ran over 1000
ahead of his ticket and carried his
home city by a greater majority than
was given Roosevelt.

PASSES PEACEFULLY AWAY
AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING

Mrs. Mary Pearson, wife of Ephraim
Pearson, died at her home in this city
late Thursday evening, Feb. Sth
Although Mrs. Pearson has been
cripple from rheumatism for the last
seventeen years or more and has
suffered from tuberculosis for the last
few years and, at a great many times,
has not been expected to live, her
very sudden death came as a shock to
her relatives and many friends. So
patiently had she borne her sickness
always forgetting her own suffering
to sympathize with those she loved in
their Affections, never forgetting that
the Great Redeemer had some purpose
in all the trials of this life) that it was
not realized that the end was so near,
although she told her husband and
sister the day before she died that a
week or so more would end her suffer-
ing and expressed a readiness to go
except for her husband whom she
thought would be lonely without her
as they had no children.
During her long sickness her
husband has kindly and lovingly
rendered unto her the best of care; her
comfort being his whole ambition,
which she greatly appreciated.
Mary M. Cannon was born in
Columbia Co., Ohio, Jan. Goth, 1856,
and with her parents moved to st.
Cloud when about two years of age,
and from there the family moved to
Sank Centre eight years later where
her father was a miller for number
of years. She was married to Ephraim
Pearson in 1876 and for couple of
years resided near Birch Lake after
which they moved on farm two
miles east of this city. Five years
ago they sold their farm and came
to this city where they have since re-
sided
Beside her husband she leaves two
sisters and one brother, Mrs. Alpha
Shafer of Bourbon, Indiana, who was
not present at the funeral but paid her
a three weeks visit last June, and
Mrs. A. A. Hunter and K. G. Cannon
of this city.
The funeral was held at 2 p. M. on
Sunday from the residence, Rev.
H. V. Adams officiating. The inter-
ment took place at Oakland cemetery.
She suffered sore and murmured not;
We watched her day by day,
Until her fiuttering spirit passed
gently away.
