Board of Trade 10 the Front.
Just this week an enthusiastic meet
ing of the business men of the town
was held in the County Courthouse, at
which meeting the Lawrenceville Board
of Trade was organized. The code of
laws to govern this body is yet to be
adopted, but it is generally understood
that the aim of the organization is
to make Lawrenceville what 1t should
be as a manufacturing and business
centre. Il
Being located In the heart of the
largest cotton growing county in the
State; being the centre of the finest
tobacco growing region on the earth;
being touched by the peanut growing
counties of the State; being in the dead
centre of the best lumber region Of
all the State. and, above all. having
water power which, when turned into
Electricity, will be capable of moving
The mills and the machinery of a
Lowell. there is no reason, and can be
no reason, why Lawrenceville should
not be one of the biggest Of the smaller
manufacturing centres in the state.
fractional Fights No More.
This is the idea that has taken pos
session of the minds OF the live men OF
She town, and. forgetting the little
'actional differences, mainly political.
lhat have unfortunately divided the
people, not only of the village, but of
she whole county, they are getting

OF This City is Dead; at IIer
Home in Greencastle,
Indiana,

The Greencastle, Ind. Banner;
gives the following sketch Of a for
mer clarksburg lady, who died In
that city last Saturday:
Caroline Hnrsey. wife OF the late
Alexander Martin, for fourteen years
president of the DePauw University.
was born February 81, 1881, at
Clarksburg. Virginia. She was marri-
ed to Alexander Martin June 8, 1853.
She was OF Quaker ancestry, which
was manifest in her temperament IA
all life.s She was very quiet in dis
position. claiming that her first du-
ties were to her family. While she
carefully avoided anythin giike pub
licity in her work, she was very val
liable to the church ana to her many
friends. For many years she was a
teacher in the Locust street Sunday
school. and for a long period served
as treasurer of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society Of her church.
Her modest reserve never allowed her
voice to be heard IN public servics.
stu she was a constant member upon
the means OF grace. and her pastor
and all church people always thought
that her presence and quiet assistance
were OF very great Value.
During the time President Martin
was in charge Of the university Mrs.
Martin was a most valuable help
meet to him. In the beginning of
his administration the customs of the
times led many students, on arriving
In Greencastle, to so directly to the
home of the president Mrs. Martin
always gave them very kind well
como. and many times extended to
them Inequalities over night and at
her table until they were comfortably
settled in their boarding places.
Members of the faculty and students
always felt that they were heartily
welcome to the presidents house,
and the receptions rendered the senior
class and other students of the unver-
sity were occasions cherished with
the most grateful remembrance. The
large number of graduates who went
out from the university during the
long period of President Martins adj
minlstration and his subsequent SER
vice as professor of philosophy will
remember Mrs. Martin with great es-
TEEN.
In very especial sense 1t can he
said of her that her children rise
up to call her blessed" Her levo-
ito nto her family was wise and
beautiful and bore precious fruit in,
the noble characters for which all of
her children were distinguished.
Mrs. Martin has two brothers liv-
ing: John A. Hursey, Clarksburg. W.
Va, and Lloyd Hursey. shinnston. W.
Va. Also sister. Mrs. Hattie H..
Brown. Yanatta, o. Her children are
Professor James ". and the late
Judge John e. Martin. and Mrs. Anna
Whitfield. These have preceded her to
the immortal life. Her surviving
children are Mr.. Charles A. Martin,
of Greencastle.. and Edward l.. Mar
