The whole nation mourns as
one man over the tragic, but
heroic, death of Judge Ds Sid A.
DeArmond, congressman from
the sixth district of Missouri,
which occurred at his home in
Butler. Bates county, at an early
hour Wednesday morning while
endeavoring to rescue his. .6.yesr.
old grandson, David A. Dear.
mond, Jr., from the formers
burning home. The little fellow
and his grandfather were boon
companions, slept together Tues
day night, and the first that was
known of the house being on fire
was when the boy shrieked:
"Oh, grandpa, get me out of
here, quick; l am burning to
DEATH
The lad was quickly picked up
by his grandfather, as Judge
DeArmond said: "Y es, son;
ion't be afraid. Grandpa will
take you out - He started with
the boy in his arms, but the fiery
fiend decreed that they should
not escape, and both perished in
the flames.
Other members of the family
had a close call, Mrs. DeArmond
being rescued by her daughter,
Mrs. Clark, while Jas. A. De.
Almond was prevented from
rushing TO certain death in an
effurt to save his father and son.

north west of Pee Dee, that be-
ing the date of their 5Oth wed.
ding anniversary, and all of
their children and most of their
grandchildren and great. grand.
children were present, number.
ing 49 altogether.
Mr.. Prather is native of our
neighboring county of Randolph
and is now in his 73rd year.
His good wife's maiden name
was Csllison and she was born
near where the villsge of Forest
Green now stands. She has
reached tie 10th milepost in the
journey of life, and was married
to j. j. Prather November %,
1849, Rev. Noah Richardson,
father of H. B. Richardson of
Keytesville, performing the mar.
risge ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs Prather made
their home for many years over
about where Salisbury new be-
decks the prairie, but moved to
the vicinity of Pee lee q years
ago where they have since re.
sided.
Eleven children were born to
them, 10 of whom are still living
and were present at the golden
wedding of their parents as fol-
fows: Nose Prather, wife and
three of their four children from
Huntsville; Mr.. and Mrs. G.. H.
Taylor and seven children Of
near Chraneville; Mr.. and Mrs.
]. P. Prather of Hardin, Mo-; w,
H, Prsther of Arkansas; j. T.
Prather, wife and five children
of Hsmden; Mr.. and Mrs. F. P.
Prather and four children and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Chad wick
of Musselfork; Mr.. and Mrs.

dren of Chrsneville; Miss Lou
Emma, who is still at home with
the old folks, and Walter Prather,
wife and one child Of near Pee
Dee. There were 36 grand
children and three great. grand
children present, and they all
enjoyed the celebration i'm.
mensely.
Without, the day was dark and
dreary, but within all was joy
and sunshine.
A sumptuous dinner " as serv.
ed in honor of the occasion, and
when each of the children turned
over his or her plate at the table
they found beneath a five-dollar
gold piece with which their father
and mother had generously re-
menbered them. In turn the Aen.
erable host and hostess were re.
II nembered with many nice
presents and were as proud of
them as proud can be.
This was the first time the
parents and children were ever
assembled under one roof, some
OF the older ones having gone
out into the world before the
younger offspring were born.
The COURIER congratulates
Mr.. and Mrs. Prather upon the
felicities of the day. The
event was one that few families
are permitted to enjoy and will
long be held in pleasant mem
ory.
