Obituary.

Susan Meyer, nee Rice, died at
her home near Belleview, Mo-,
March %, 1906, at the advanced
age of Sc years. She was born in
Tennessee November %, 1919,
afterwards moving to Missouri,
where she was married to VIM. R.
Meyer, October 26, 1887. To this
union we're born II children, 8 of
whom still survive. The youngest
of her children is AZ years of age.
She has Al grandchildren and 50
great grandchildren.
She was converted about forty
years ago ond joined the M. E.
Church, South, of which she was a
faithful member, until God, in His
infinite wisdom, saw fit to remove
her from this world of pain and
sorrow to the heavenly mansion
prepared for those who love and
serve the Lord. Her mission on
earth was one of love and loyalty;
especially to her children. Always
being mindful of their welfare and
happiness. Her life has gone out
on earth and her presence from our
homes, but in our hearts the name
of mother is cherished above all
priceless gems of earth. Sweet
and tender memories steal across
our minds and we are constrained
NO say "Thy will be done" "The
Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away, Blessed be the name of the
Lord" AS the evening of life was
fast approaching her faith in God
did not waver, but grew stronger
and stronger as the end drew near.
All was done for her that loving
hands could do, and when human
strength was no longer available
Jesus appeared in the midst and,
faithful to his promise, was with
her to the end, which came in the
dawn of the early morning; a still
small voice bidding her quietly
lay down the cares of a worldly
life and receive the reward of a
faithful servant, and in obedience
she pillowed her head by faith on
Jesus bosom and sweetly breathed
her life out there. The sun has
sunk behind the western hills,
closing from our earthly vision a
life so precious, but bringing the
dawn of a glorious morning in
eternity and a reunion of COM
panion and children gone before,
who we're no doubt anxiously
waiting at the harbor to bear the
glad tidings to the angelic host,
who would strike the sweetest
chord on their celestial harps well
coming her home.

Saffold, after which the remains
were taken to the Edison cemetery
to await the dawning of the glor-
ious resurrection, where parted
friends again shall meet. May
God comfort us for all we have lost.

The Governor of Nebraska has
publicly announced that he Will
not appoint another man to ONCE

says there are enough good men to
fill the Offices, and he proposed to
have no other kind.
The habit of drinking liquor
though not discountenanced, but
rather commended, by example IN
the Christian bible-and the vice
of swearing, are two things not
necessary to the making of a full
ledged gentleman. Yet some OF
the d-dest scoundrels known to
history were possessed of neither
of these disqualifcations to office
now in Nebraska. What a host of
men whom we delight to honor
would have been ''turned down"

STEELvILLE Ledger: "As will be
seen from an article elsewhere in
this issue of the Ledger, Senator
Farris will not make the race for
recollection to the State Senate, as
was generally supposed by his
many friends. In an interview
published in the st. Louis Republic
of the 7th instant, he set forth his
reasons for not asking for a re-
election. However, this does not
mean that the Senator is out of
politics, and his many warm
friends in this county will hail
with delight his declaration to run
for Representative, and thus head
the county ticket. Ithas been many
years since Crawford was repre-
sented in the Legislature by a
Democrat, but the candidacy of
Senator Farris will wheel it back
into the Democratic column, for
his personal popularity in his
home county is such as to win to
his support hundreds Of Repub-
lican friends. No man in the
county is more popular with the
masses, a fact that has been
demonstrated on more than one
