OBITUARY.

Mrs. Ida B. Watson, of Fairplay,
wife of F. A. Watson deceased, passed
from this to more beautiful world on
the 18th of January 1907, at the age of
26 years and months. She was vic
tim of that dreaded disease, consump-
ton. Her death was very unexpected
at the time, she had never taken her
bed, and seemed that day to be better
than usual, although she had hemor-
rage that morning and at 6 O'Clock she
had another bad hemorrhage and died
She bore her Affections with patience
and did not seem to dread death in the
least. She having given up husband
and two little children in less time than
a year, she had a desire to go live with
them and Jesus around that eternal
throne where there will be no more
parting. Our hearts sank within US as
we followed Ida to the grave to think
we would have her no more with us,
but it was Gods will and Thy will be
done.
She was daughter of Mr.. w. B.
Yates. To the father we extend our
heartfelt sympathy. The remains were
laid to rest there at home by her two
little children, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. T. ]. Campbell.
There were many relatives and friends
,,racont RI now thar reSpect tO tho ono
they had known from the cradle to the
grave, and of whom only good can be
said. There was no trace of sorrow on
her brow but smile that denoted
peace sweet peace.
In the broad fields of heaven
In the immortal bowers
Dwelling py life's clear river
Amid undying flowers.
There is Ida.

far reaching effect of a nice exhibit at
such an important meeting of the peo-
pie throughout the entire country. Ev-
cry county should have an exhibit, but
more especially Adair.

MAKE GOOD ROADS.

For the last few days the public roads
in this part of the country have BEEN
and are still in desperately bad condi-
ton. During the long spell of wet
weather traffic was not suspended which
resulted in making the mud as deep as
it ever gets and since the rain ceased
and the cold wave struck it it has been
almost impossible. Such roads ought to
stir an ambition in every citizen to join
in making roads that will stand the test
of wet weather and the pressure of
heavy traffic. The grader will never
accomplish this and it can only be done
by rock or gravel.
