Obituary.

1t has pleased God in His infinite
goodness to take from us another
loved one-George Dubacher, aged
80 years, 10 months and 6 days.
1t is sad indeed to give up our
dear ones, but we sorrow not as
those who have no hope. He told
them all not to grieve for him for
he was going home, and we count
our loss as Heavens gain.
How consoling are the words of
our blessed Savior when he said
"Look unto me, all ends of earth,
and be saved"
A brother had crossed the bold
Jordan of death and was watching
and waiting to greet him when the
angels anchored his s%potless soul
on the sunny banks of Heaven.
Sweet and tender memories steal
across our mind and we r con-
strained to say, "Thy will be
done" "The Lord giveth and he
taketh away; blessed be the name
of the Lord" AS the evening OF
life was fast approaching his faith
in God did not waver, but grew
stronger as the end drew near;
yet in life we are also in death.
All was done for him that loving
hands could do and when human
strength was no longer available,
Jesus appeared in the midst and,
faithful to His promise, was with
him to the end, which came on the
morning of June It'll, at 1880, a
still small voice bidding him to
quietly lay down the cares OF a
worldly life and receive the reward
of a faithful servant, and resting
on Jesus bosom he quietly
breathed his life out. The sun has
sunk behind the western hills
closing from our earthly vision g
life so precious but bringing the
dawn of a glorious morning in
eternity. A FRIEND.

Missouri State Fair at Sedalia this

Our State Fair is growing at a

each year shows increased premi-
ums and additional departments
and l hope that a large number of
exhibits will be made by citizens
of this county. There is no better
opportunity to advertise the re-
sources of our county than to
make good exhibits at the State
Fair.
The Directors are making a
special effort this year for a big
Corn Show in addition to the reg
ular agricultural exhibits. The
premiums for county exhibits are
large and will more than pay
the expense of getting together a
good exhibit.

A Tribute.

No right thinking person can
justly oppose temperance. He
may not practice it, but he surely
recognizes his human weakness in
not doing so and admires his fell
bowman, who exhibits a poise Of
character which temperance teach
ings and practices rightly in
culcated bring about. Granted
that this is a fact it seems strange
that so much bitter opposition
should be waged by good and
sensible people against men and
women who conscientiously en-
deavor to promote temperance
This condition exists and it exists
in proportion to the amount OF
energy employed in bringing
about results. OF course, we diff
fer as to methods. Temperance
people oftentimes hinder the cause
by Incorporate efforts. But the
zeal which consumes is still
abroad in the land and SO long as
it exists we must counteract its
effect by level-headed conserva-
tism. The circumstances and tenn
permanent have much to do with
the quality of fight a man puts up,
But let us consider the motive and
when we are convinced Of the sin
cerity of that we become more
charitable.
The temperance force in Iron
ton is weak in numbers. Yet
through the untiring efforts of one
battle SCARED veteran the cause is
not suffered to languish. His
dreams have not been fully real
lied and sorely has he been per-
secuted, yet he industriously
labors for tine principles which
are dear to him. And considering
the small working force at his
command the results have been
flattering. The fruit of his labors
has had material effect upon this
community. What seems nee
essary to a further advancement
is a bold stand by the many who
believe, but like Satan "believe
and tremble." Let us unite oul
forces to promote a cause which
originated not in the mind of man
but proceeded from God Himself.

De SoTo Republican: although
the primary election is more than
one year off politics in this Sec
ton of the state is beginning to
warm up. Especially in this the
case in the race for judge of the

for congressman in the Thirteenth
district. E. G. Edgar has already
announced his candidacy for Judge
through the local papers, and is
now making an active campaign
Nj. Edgar is running on the Re-

there are about five other candi-
dates, and more are looked for.
E. B. bearing and L. F. Dining
of Washington county and Arthur
T. Brewster and James G.. Berkeley
of Jefferson county are avowed
candidates on the Democratic
ticket, and 1t is stated that John
H. Reppy of Hillsboro will yet
become q candidate on the Re-
publican ticket, while Joseph j.
Williams, the present Judge, who
is a Republican, will, in all prob
ability, want to succeed himself.
Candidates for congress are almost
rs numerous as those for the

in all probability, be opposed by

taking care of an invalid sister,
and they were on the verge of
starvation. For her horrible
crime, the p~urloiner OF the eggs
was promptly tried, convicted,
and sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary. Pity that the
penalty of hanging for such Of

They disturb our pious equanimity

ness, and I am glad the boys are
at length waking up. For Uncle
Sam to tax me to sustain a print
shop and then run it in COMPETE
ton with me, is bad enough, and
ought not be tolerated; but it is
as nothing compared with the

order that l shall not give beyond
a certain amount of credit to a

in convention assembled have
commended that order, and felic-
itated themselves that by aid of
the strong arm of Government they
were no longer to be subject to
loss through non-paying, dis
honest subscribers! Some of my

from the list because of this drag
