Death of Miss Georgia Mcdonald

Sunday evening, December 18th
Miss Georgia Mcdonald, after
protracted suffering, fell asleep to
awaken in the blissful home where
pain a never come. She was q
native Of South Carolina. For
some time she was a student in the
Columbia Female College where
she was converted and soon after
united with toe Methodist church.
Five years ago, in company with
the other members of the family,
she moved to New Mexico where
for two years she taught in the
public schools. 1t has not yet been
three years since she came with the
family to La Junta, the mother
having purchased q home ut SOP
Ration avenue.
The western climate had proven
to be n tonic to Miss McDonald's
broken health until last summer
when visiting Manitou she con
tracted q heavy cold, the effects of
which followed her until death.
She was patient sufferer and re-
signed to the Fathers will. Cul.
turcd and refined, her life was full
Of good cheer for all who crossed
her pathway. The home has been
robbed of a sunbeam and the shad-
dow rests heavily on the mother,
Mrs Margaret Mcdonald, two sis
tcrs, j ID Craighcad and Miss
Clarice Mcdonald, and two broth
ers, Jack and Angus.
The funeral was held from the
home Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock, the services being conduc-
ted by Rev Ri A.yrcs, pastor of
the Methodist church, Of which
church Miss Mcdonald was a mem
Der. The young men acting as
pail bearers were all intimate
friends of the family, nearly all of
them having boarded with them
fora time. The beautiful floral
from SO many loving friends bore
witness to the highest seem in
which Miss Mcdonald was held by
all who knew her. We believe she
has but gone to her coronation.
We shall see her again. La Junta,
Colo Tribune.

THE B. AND G. TO DRAKE
The First Railroad in Brownsville
Reached There This Week.

S>S"SAAs AA~ So f
For the first time a locomotive
engine rolled into Brownsville
township this week. TX went
across Three creeks, Just below
brakes mill. The B and g train
is now hauling freight from Drake,
and the passenger trains will ruiz
to that point in g few days, as
soon rs q little leveling up can be
completed in the fill across Three
! creeks.
President Heckart says that w
B Drake promised him some egg
nog if he would come over to his
store on the locomotive Christmas
day. The work WIS being pushed
with a view to getting the eggnog,
but Mr. Heckart says Mr. Drake
played a trick on him by turning
the water loose from his mill wheel
and flooding the creek SO that the
trestle could not DO quite compile
ted by Christmas 1t lacked just
about one days work, and Mr. Heck.
art missed the eggnog.
There are three stations on the
new portion Of the road, Scott, ut
Edwin Weatherly's place; Argyle,
at N brakes; and Drake, at w
b brakes store and mill.
Mr. Wcathcrly named the station
at his place Heckart, for the pres
idcnt Of the road; but Mr. Heckart
is too modest to accept that name,
and has named 1t Scott, for Alex
Scott Of Pennsylvania, the presi,
dent Of the Scott Lumber Com
pany.
Scott is six miles from Ben
nettsville, Argyle 10, and Drake
II. A two mile spur will branch
off from the main line between
Scott and Argyle and will be built
to Blcnhcim.
it is also proposed to extend the
road from Drake southwark six or
eight miles. The Scott Lumber
Company has timber as far down
the rivers rs Cashway ferry and the
