youth t. Hooking County, where
she has since resided and depart
ted this life July 1, 1907, aged n

She was united in marriage to

a period of 81 years and until the

she moved to the home Of her
brother, Levi Hutton, to be nursed
and cared for during what proved
to be her last sickness.
She became a member of the
Wesley Chapel M. E. Church on
what is now known as Orland
Charge in early life and remained
a consistent memb ber of said church
until by great adversities in life
she became somewhat demented,
but in her last sickness seeming
to gain her former self She de
clared herself to be at peace with
her God and all men.
Her last sickness though Of
several months duration was borne
with patience seldom witnessed
as she was seldom heard to mur-
mur or complain.
She leaves three brothers and a
large number of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss, yet with
the consultation that we believe
our loss TO be here eternal gain,
A dear one from from Us Is gone,
voice we loved is stilled,
a place is yacantin our midst,
Which never can be filed,
We loved her yes We loved her
But angels loved her more,
And they have AIKEN her from as
To yonder shining shore.
Tue Golden Gate was open,
A tender voice said come,
And while larewells were spoken,
she sweetly entered Home
Funeral services were held at
10 O'Clock A Nj on July ,, 1907
at Wesley Chapel NJ, E. church,
conducted by Rev. Cheudle, pastor
Of said church, and her body wa.

Waverly, la. Sept. 14.-As the result
Of the crusade against the physicians
of Waverly and the vicinity conducted
by Charles Miller, the state democratic
chairman. fourteen doctors were yes
terday Indicted by the grand jury of
the county. The charge is a coimbina-
ton in restraint of trade, q violation of
the state antitrust law. The cases
will be of statewide and national i'm
portance. for In every city and town
there are medical associations which
arbitrarily settle the fees to be charged
for visits. operations, etc.
MIR. Miller has long been known as al
enemy OF the medical profession. or at
least of medical associations.
During the legislative session last
winter, Mr.. Miller lost no opportunity
to rap at or poke Jun at the doctors
and healers of all kinds. Whenever a
medical bill made its appearance, the
