ard, aged nearly 81 years. Mr..
Blanchard had been in poor health

His first wife died Dec. l, 1881 He was
again married oct. B.. 1888 to Miss
Sophia Doak, Of Marshall, Mo-, who
survives him. No children were born
TO this union.
In all he has fifty-two grand-chld-
rem and twenty-six great-grand-child-
rem. Six grandsons were his pail
bearers.
He came to Lafayette county in
February, 1858, and has resided here
ever since, being one of the Oldest
citizens in this county
He united with the Methodist
church in 1929 in Virginia and has
been singuldrly devoted tohis church'
He made hard fight to regain health,
but was always patient, and when he
knew that he had to 90 he did not
complain. The Bible was his com
panion-he kept the commandments
and had the consolation of knowing

Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted unanimously by the First
Baptist Church of Lexington, Mo-,
on October 27. 1907:
Be it Resolved the hearty
gratitude of this church is extended
to the citizens of our city for the
cheerfulness and heartiness with
which, regardless of creed or condi-
tion and even .thout creed, they
op ned to US their homes and made
possible the entertainment of our
General Association. We are like
wise grateful to the institutions of
our city, the Mayor and officers, the
newspapers, the Advertiser, SIN
telligencer" and "News," the Elks
Club, Mr.. Gustav Haerle, the owner
of tie Opera House, the Lafayette
Telephone Co. and our sister churches
for the free offer and use of their
facilities which added so much to
the comfort of our guests and the
success of our undertaking.
To all these we repeat the words Of
our Savior when speaking of such
ministrations to his servants:-
"He that receiveth you receiveth
me, and he that receiveth me re
ceiveth him that sent me, Luke
x:40. and may the Gtd whom you
have thus received and served be
with you always.
Resolved that these resolutions be
published IN the papers of this city.

NOT A LARGE MEETING

Brought Gut Few Farmers,

Entirely too many farmers were
not sufficiently interested or too busy
to attend the Good Roads Meeting at
Higginsville Wednesday.
The meeting was called to order by

After the reading of the minutes by
the secretary, E. N. Hopkins, and the
disposition of the routine business,
The condition of the county roads

was talked about. No one seemed to
understand fully the meaning or
scope OF this law and it was decided
to have another meeting in Higgins
vile on Nov. %, at which time the
measure will be discussed and ex-
planned fully.
1t is hoped that this meeting will
be largely attended, as Lafayette
county is shockingly deficient in the
matter of respectable thoroughfares.
