In Memory.

On Thursday evening, August 18th,
Just as the sun was setting in the
golden west the pale horse and its
rider came forth TO the home of
John Wooten and took from that
hc".c the companion and father.
Bro. John was 81 years of age. He
ana Mary Blevins We're married about
20 Fears ago and TO them We're born
5 children-3 girls and boys, who
still survive him. Bro. Wooten join
ed the church and was baptized years
ago. He was good man and a
true Christian He died in full faith
OF living triumph after death, and
until his dying moments he praised
God for his goodness and mercy, and
informed loving friends that the re-
lision that he possessed while living
was a sweet comfort in dying. He
said he was only waiting for the
angels TO come to guide him over
! Jordan. There was no fear, no doubt;
no dark and stormy road. He said
that he was not afraid to trust his
blessed Jesus, He called his wife
and children to his bedside and told
them TO be good while here and meet
hin in heaven. ...-. .....
He suffered for about eight long
years but bore his suffering with The
greatest of pleasure and why he did
so was because he had the religion
of God shed abroad in his heart
God causes us to suffer and blesses
us for it What a grand consolation
1t Is to only trust him OH how
hard ii is to give up dear father.
IL brings sadness and broken hearts
in our homes; but still if we only
! live as he has we will see him again.
He Is now wearing starry crown in
that beautiful haven of rest.
! will just say to his dear compan-
ion and children TO do as he told
you and you will meet him again. He
won the promise of several to meet
him in heaven. | will say to Bro.
Williams who was so good to stand
cvec him and wait on him, to only
trust the same Jesus that John
trusted and you will again see him.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Collinsworth graveyard by Bro.
Moore. S. G. Queen.

800 REWARD, 500.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
Internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Fairview. Ky. June 3.-Among
the trees which have grown up about
the birthplace of Jefferson Davis
since the year early in the 10 CEN
tury when the Davis family removed
to Mississippi, the Jefferson Davis
Memorial park was dedicated today.
Northeast across the state is Hold
genville, near which Abraham LIN
coin was born eight months after his
great opponent.
Ora atory. music and flowers made
the day notable.
General Young, a former lieuten-
ant of the gray, wrote the chief ad-
dress of the day, and it was read by
Col. w. A. Milton of Louisville. Gen
eral Young asserted that every south
ern state should rear shaft to the
momory of jefferson Davis. whose
character and sufferings he dwelt up
on. He paid a high tribute to Lin
coin, saying that the time had come
when men might speak kindly and
truly of the past.

FIRE TODAY COMPLETELY DESTROYED PIONEER
HOTEL BUILDING AT A Loss Of OVER S6OOO--
Il MAY HAVE BEEN AN |NCENDARYS WORK

Entailing a loss of from $4,000 to
$4,000, fire at an early hour this
morning completely destroyed the
Schwalbach Inn, the Oldest hotel
building in the valley and one of the
most historic and interesting land
marks of Grand Junction.
1t was one of the worst fires that
has visited the city in recent years.
Owing to the fact that the build
ing-a large two-story structure. sit
uated at the corner of Ute avenue
and South Second street,-was con-
structed entirely of frame. and ow-
ing to the additional fact that the
fire department failed to get water
on the burning structure until the
fire was beyond all hope OF control.
the fire was one of the biggest, hot
test and most spectacular ever seen
here.
Much criticism is heard today from
people who saw the fire and witnessed
the actions OF the fire department,
and these people are not few in num-
ber either. IL was fully 20 minutes
from the time the alarm was. turned
in until water was turned onto the
fire. Not only was the department
an unusually long time in reaching
the scene; but, according to the
statement of several witnesses,
there was lack of concerted action
on the part OF the firemen. Some of
the witnesses state that the depart

ment strung out a long line of hose
and then found that they had left
the wrong end, or nozzle end. of the
hose at the hydrant, and therefore
had to double back before they could
make a connection.
After SO long a time, connections
were made at two or more places and
the water turned on the burning
building; but 1t was not only too
late to save any portion of the build
ing. but II was too late to hold the
flames that started in the rear of the
big structure in check long enough
for any furniture, the piano or any
other valuable pieces of personal
property in the front rooms to be re-
moved; consequently the building
and its contents make up a complete
and total loss.
Members OF the fire department de-
clare that there were no blunders on
their part; but that. through no
body's fault, string OF hose broke
in two and this necessitated the de-
lay and the doubling back They al
SO claim that the water would not
run for some moments. owing, ap-
parently. to the failure of fire plug
or hydrant to work properly
Whatever the cause was, It is GER
tain that 1t was most unusual
length of time after the fire had been
discovered and the department called,
before water was turned onto the.
