HER LAST LETTER.
Farewell Words Of Miss Stewart Ad-
dressed to Members Of Her Family.

Gil
In another column is mentioned
the death of Miss Stewart, of
Davie county. The letter writ.
ten by the demented young wo-
man giving her reasons for her
suicide, is as follows:
II am going to take strychnine
Saturday night and end my life.
I can't live in the world any long
er. Jesus calls me home and [ am
bound to go. [ have been in
trouble about two weeks. Every
thing has seemed to trouble me-
first one thing and then another.
One week ago 1 was on my knees
crying and praying to Jesus, He
revealed to me that I must die
just as as my brother Henderson
died. No one in this world can
imagine how I feel. I am in a
dread all the time and go nervous
I can hardly stand it. AT times I
don't know what 1 am doing. /
feel like my heart is bleeding and
[ can't be still. The Lord has re-
vealed more to me this week and
been nearer to me than He ever
was. I could feel His very pres
ence. I have been reading the
Bible and praying every day. It
makes me happy to know that 1
will soon 60 to heaven and be with
Jesus and my brother. The only
thing I dread is death. It is my
last enemy.
"My dear papa I want you to
become a Christian and meet me
in heaven. It is the Lords will
to take me out of the world to
save you. His will be done. I
I'm going home to die no more.
1.-THE big meeting starts at Je-
rusalem the second Sunday in Au-
gust. You and Thead attend that
meeting and give your hearts to
God. He wants to save you all
and make you happy. Meet me
in heaven for l am going on be-
fore and l want all of you to fol.
low. I do hate to leave you and
o! mother, dear mother, please
don't grieve for 1 Am better off.
My work Oh earth is finished and
I am ready to go home. I want
sung at my funeral the songs,
What a Friend We Have in Je-
sua,' and Asleep in Jesus, Blessed
Sleep, From Which None Ever
Wake to Weep I want to be
buried in q white robe.
eff you find any money of mine
give it to mother. I want Grand
ms Chambers and Mrs. Soley to
dress me.
Thead, you marry and bring
your wife here to stay with mama.
1 am afraid this will kill her.
She will be 80 lonesome without
me. Take care of mother. Be
good boys and read the Bible, for
it is the sweetest book in this
world.
"Good bye."
The sorely bereaved family has
the warmest sympathy of the en-
tire county.

Navarro:
Stirred by Alleged EIope-
ment of Society Girl
and Married Man
NO TRACE OF EITHER
Special to the Morning News.


Navarro, o.. June 21.-Simultan-
eously with the disappearance of Miss
Edith Steel. daughter of DR.. Steel, Of
this village, Daniel Howard, also of
Navarro, left town and has not been
heard of since. 1t is the general be-
lief that the two eloped. The alleged
elopement took place Friday, June II.
Miss Steel is about twenty years of
age. Howard is nearer thirty and is
married. Before their disappearance
it is said the two were very intimate,
in spite Of the fact that Mrs. Howard
resides here.
The plans for the alleged elope-
ment are said to have been very care
fully laid and nothing has been heard
from the two since their departure
Howard took his wife away on visit
and returning, minus his wife, he left
town during the evening on the same
train with Miss Steel. Several per-
sons lettering about the Wheeling and
Lake Erie station declare they saw
the two get on the train. although
each occupied a separate car. Nothing
has been heard of Howard. but he had
pass to Colorado and it is believed
that he went there.
Others persons in Navarro say that
Howard, while drinking in local sa-
loon, told them that he proposed to
runaway with Miss Steel. Farther
than this there is no substantial evil
dence to prove that the couple have
eloped
The Steel family are very promi-
nent in Navarro. They say abso-
lutely nothing about the affair. How
ard is very well known about the viii
lage and his friends say little or moth
ang of his alleged action.
