OBITUARIES.
Mrs. Mary Ballard.

Mrs. Ballard died at the home of her
granddaughter, Mrs. Albriton. 5 miles
west of Tupelo. on last Saturday, the
11th inst, at the advanced age of 10
years.
Mrs. Ballard became Christian in
early life and connected herself with
the Missionary Baptist church, remain
ing devoted and consistent member
the remainder of her life-55 years.
She was devoted as wife, self. sac
rifcing as mother, answering as
friend; but above all other sounds and
calls. was the voice and command of
her Lord. Indeed, her fidelity in life's
relations, which was so marked sprang
out of her sweet. daily walk with God.
This imperfect tribute would be un-
just did it not bear testimony to her
sweet constancy to the Church on earth.
She was one of the number who al
ways bore the work upon her heart, and
who sustained the pastor with a pray
erfulness born of genuine love to God.
What rich example of heroic con-
stancy in the service of the Lordl No
cloud; however dark, ever obscured the
shining of His face; no trial, however
severe, ever wrenched her hope from
Him; no experience, however exasper-
ating, ever for moment disturbed her
tranquil rest in Him. There is strength
about such life that makes it felt by
all who meet it. and renders the ab-
sence double loss.
On Sunday her remains were laid to
rest in the Mooresville cemetery, near
which place she had resided for years,
a large concourse of sorrowing relatives
and friends being present. The funer-
al services were conducted by Rev. S.
D Shelton, who spoke most touchinglv
of the many noble virtues of the de
ceased and quoted many sweet passa-
ges of Scripture for the comfort ano
consolation of the bereaved.

Appropriation Not Yet Made.

c.. w. Blackwell returned last
Friday from Idaho City and Boise,
where he had been on business
Mrs. Blackwell went to Meadows
to meet him and accompanied him
home. Mr.. BlackwelPs business,
partly, at Idaho City was to en-
deavor to secure an appropriation
for the proposed state road between
Lardo and Meadows. Owing to
one of the county commissioners
being stricken with smallpox the
matter was deferred until the first
Monday in May, when the board
will hold a special session.

Does Van Ripper Mean Business?

Lewis c. Van Ripper was at
Council last week on his way to
Payette lake but turned back when
he learned the snow was not all
gone. He sent a man in to check
up the mining machinery stored on
the west side of the lake, which is
expected to be taken into the Big
Greek mining district this season.
Mr.. Van Ripper has some fine prop
erty on the lake shore here and is
figuring on forming a company to
run an electric railway from the
Pacific & Idaho Northern's termin-
us to the Payette lake, via Mead
ows. 1t was the latter business
which brought him into this Sec
ton of country at this time, and
we shall probably hear more about
it a little later. 1t is rumOred that
he has made vast amount OF
money from his mining ventures in
Nevada.

viii Have Electric Road Some Day.

pavette lake is attracting a great
dool Of attention at Boise and other
~o;rts in central Idaho and is des-
fined to become a famous resort.
There will undoubtedly be an cleo
trio line from the capital city up
through Long valley in the near
,rture branch of which will come
to Meadows, giving us a direct line
to Boise with rapid transit. An
automobile road to the lakes from
Boise is another project for which
nans are under way and which
NAV be easily accomplished. With
a good wide, smooth road between
here and the lakes this place will
also become popular with tourists.
! The lakes will grow in popularity
as transportation facilities improve
and the population of the lower
country increases, and this valley
with it's wonderful hot springs and
| fine trout streams will become
equally popular with summer tour
| lists if it's citizens are alive to and
take advantage of their opportun-
tiles by providing good roads
and accommodations for VISITORS

In the matter Of increased safety IN
railway travel steady Improvement has
Heen observed In many quarters. There
has been hardly a single feature Of
construction or operation which has not
received careful attention from some
student who has sought to devise ways
and means OF reducing the danger Of
travel. When the various improve
ments Of decade are taken together
they make a surprising showing. Now
and then an advance In one direction
proves a defect from another point Of
view An illustration of this IL found
In the construction Of the great loco
motives which are often used on the
through trains. The extension Of the
boiler has curtailed the space once
used for the engine cab, the engineer
often being shut OF from the view Of
the fireman. As a result one of the
pair may be entirely ignorant Of what
is taking place on the other side Of
the cab. The strain on an engineer Of
fast train Is known to be severe 1t
Is not uncommon to read of one being
found dead from heart failure or being
rendered unconscious by the intense
heat or from some other cause, the
lives Of his passengers being imperiled
because Of the accident Of which the
fireman remains ignorant until some
thing unusual in the movement Of tho
engine attracts his attention. As yet
there have been no serious results to
passengers from such circumstance.
When the number Of trains is taken
into account 1t Is plain that the per-
centage Of danger is small. But the
possibility of bad accident always IL
present. To carry an extra engineer
ready for an emergency might be a
wise precaution, although such sug-
gestion does not make much Of an ap-
peal to railroad managers because Of
the expense involved. To provide some
method by which the fireman be con-
stantly advised of the engineers safety
ought to be possible. Here Is one Of
the problems awaiting solution, for no
perfection Of car equipment or care
full attention to condition Of the track
can make travel safe II there Is
chance Of fatal accident in the en-
CINE cab which Is not discovered at
once. The news items which appear
with sufficient frequency to attract at
tention seem to indicate that such q
possibility exists.

spafn's Buried Wealth.

The Carthaginians and the Tyriana
regarded Spain as Ell Dorado. It IL
but poor country to-day, but potential
wealth lies in its rock bound hills, Just
as in the days of the ancientA When
those acquisitive mariners, the Phoe-
nicians, first set foot IN the country
they exchanged their commodities,
says. Aristotle, ''for such immense
quantities Of silver that their ships
could neither contain nor sustain the
load, though they used 1t for ballast
and made their anchors and other Inn
elements of silver" So rich In silver
was the country then that the people
are said to have made their commonest
domestic utensils of the metal and
even their managers. The Romans
found that their greedy forerunnera
had sadly diminished tho precious
store, yet enough was left to satisfy
not a few proconsuls.
