Devotion to Children.

D. F. Miller said that about the
time he commenced to practice law
Mr.. Howell was in full swing, and his
death marked the passing of the last
pioneer lawyer of the state. We are

locate homes for the orphans. Mr.
Miller gave several examples of MIR.
Howell's devotion to the children
His industry was unlimited in any
thing that ne went into. He was all
enthusiasm in preparing for trial.
There was another phase. AS you go
into his office he was always cordial
and no matter how busy, he had al
ways time to give you attention and
inquire after your wants. He spent
many days for the good of his fellow
men.

Noble Lawyer.

Judge Hughes knew Mr.. Howell for
about twenty-eight years. He was
more than the ordinary citizen. Law
yers are often looked upon as class
of people who seem not to take
much interest in anything other than
law. Mr.. Howell had the name of
an energetic lawyer and as such
first became acquainted with him. AS
a citizen learned to admire him. He
was great church man, but when
he came to your office he had no
church song and was always pleasant
to have visit one. We often met
him looking for some orphan child.

some one was hunting a home.

there is gone noble lawyer, a man
whose work shows that it pays to be
true genuine christian, and that a
lawyer can look after an orphan as
well as men of other professions.
