N U I. J, AGAINST LIQUOR

Washington, October g. = Especially What is the matter with matrimony?" l Judge Elliott sitting in the circuit court of Maryland, said this morning that, in view of the great increase in the number of divorce cases instituted in the circuit courts, year by year, there is good cause for asking the question.

Des Are Items.

We we're shocked on last Tues

could get up. He had been work.

youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Myers. He also leaves a sister,
Mrs. N. A. FAIR, and a brother, E.

In MemoPiam.

Mr.. Samuel H. Gosney died
suddenly at Hot Springs, Ark,
December %, 1906, aged 81 years,
II months and II days.
His remains were brought to
Arcadia on the 9th and the funeral
was held at his home in Arcadia,
Mo-, on Christmas Day at 2
o'clock. The services at the house
were conducted by Rev. A. Sitton,
pastor of the Fort Hill Methodist
church. The remains were then
taken in charge by his brother
Masons, and with their impressive
burial service, they laid him to
rest beside the body of his little
son, Charles, that they had laid
away many years ago in the
beautiful cemetery lear town. He
leaves a widow, two sons, a daugh-
ter, daughter-in-law and an only
sister, and other relatives and
many friends to mourn his sud-
den departure.
For over twenty years he had
been a Mason and also an Odd
Fellow. He had long been a resi-
dent of Arcadia Valley and knew
almost every one here, and all
who knew him loved him, as the
large number who attended his
funeral attest. He was q loving
husband, a fond father and a kind
brother. How we miss him every
where! He was not a member of
any church, but he was never mar
row in his religious views. He
always respected all Christians
regardless of what name they bore.
He was brought up in a Methodist
home and always had the kindest
feeling for his mothers church,
and during the last few months of
his life he had expressed himself
to Bro. Sitton, pastor of Fort Hill
Methodist church, as being very
anxious to become a Christian in
every sense of the word, and spoke
very seriously of meeting with the
Methodist church at this place.
He had suffered for some time from
rheumatism and his suffering was
something terrible at times, and
especially so was this the case the
last four weeks of his life. As he
had done before, he again went to
Hot Springs to seek relief, and
there, all alone, God only knows
at what time, he passed out into
the great unknown. In our great
sorrow we that are left can only
say Gods will be done, and may
we try to be ready for this last
summons when it shall come. 1t
may be morning, it may be noon,
or it may be in the silent watches
of the night, as it was with this
our dear loved one. The relatives
from other places who attended
the funeral were his son, William,
and bride, of Poplar Bluff; his
only sister, Mrs. Mary Jacobs, OF
Venice, ILL.,. a brother-in-law, Mr..
Ed. Paule and a nephew, MI. j. w.
Jacobs, of St. Charles, Mo-; an
other brother-in-law, Mr.. Will
Paule and his son, Ed, of Bis
marck. X.
