with her daughter, Mrs. Bose, at

senger from beyond life's river
came and bore her away to the
home of many mansions; the home
not made with hands, but eternal
in the heavens; into that home
unhurt by sighs or tears-where
waiteth many q familiar face, no,
strage but very dear; into the glad
homeland where none are sick, OF
poor, or lonesome; the home not
far away, but just beyond - close
to life's day.
Sister Shackelford was convert.
ed and joined the M. E. Church
South more than 80 years ago

neighbors knew her to love her
the heart of her husband did safely
trust in her; her children and
grandchildren rise up and call hel
blessed. She was aged 63 years

Paul Brown Purchases
Horseshoe Lake Farm.

The sale of the beautiful country
estate was effected by the Mercan-
tile Trust Company during the
last week. The property is known
as the Horseshoe Lake Farm"
and is located on the Meramec
river, near Fenton, about sixteen
miles from ST. Louis, on the Gra-
vols road one of the most popular
automobile roads in St. Louis
county.
The farm embraces $50 acres,
$50 of which are in cultivation,
but the entire tract is tiiable. A
portion of the property is on a high
elevation, giving a commanding
view of the Meramec and the VAL
ley below. whicn is said to be the
most picturesque rural scenery in
Missouri. The lower valley land
is fertile and comprises some of
the choicest and most productive
land in that locality.
In addition to the usual out
buildings, there are two substan-
tiai nlne-IOCm nOusco, Will LUZ
naces, baths and all city conven-
fences. At the foot OF the hill is q
large lake Of clear yater and known
in the iocaiisy as the Horseshoe
Lake." from which the place de-
rives its name. The farm is said
to embrace the best hunting and
fishing grounds in the state, and
is generally considered to be one
OF the finest country places in the
vicinity of ST. Louis. The prop
erty was purchased by Paul Brown
a retired business man. Il is not
Mr.. Browns intention to remove
to the place, as he will continue to
reside in his handsome home in
Washing gton terrace, but he has
installed a keeper on the place
and will visit it with friends from
time to time. Mr.. Brown is q
fancier of fine horses, and it is
understood to be his intention to
make this largely stock farm for
his blooded horses. The price
was $50, 900. be-Democrat.
