Globe Democrat.

Jefferson City Correspondence st. Louis
Globe Democrat.
Governor Hadley bought a farm,
100 acres. five miles west of Jefferson
City to-day. He will move his family
from the Executive Mansion when
warm weather sets in to spend the
summer. Nothing is sweeter music in
his ear, he says, than the lowing of the
kline waiting to be pailed, or the
cackling of Missouri hens as they
industrously turn out eggs for the
family larder.
The Governor has two COWS, both
good mixers, and they will more than
supply the family with milk and
butter. He has two horses, which will
come in handy for blowing. He has
eleven dogs, which are expected to
keep the rabbits from gnawing the
young fruit trees.

The blaze was first discovered
about 10 o'clock. and in less than half

In the meantime a greater disaster

was held at 2:30 this afternoon at her
home on Main street. Brief services
were conducted by Rev. G.. S. Mills,

four years ago in February.
The death OF Mrs. Patchln will
bring regret and sadness to many
people In Bennington. Since her
birth in Woodford nearly ~ years
ago, she had been a resident of the
town or its vicinities; and her life
had been interwoyen-to a remarkable
degree for one so quiet and retired
with the lives and affections OF three
generations here.
First OF all, for the fifty years since
her marriage, had been her eager
and unsparing service TO her home
and family. And her spontaneous
sympathy and cheerfulness. and her
keen and almost girlish interest in
life had made her the friend and com.
panion not only OF her chldren's
friends. but of the generation OF chill
dren, who have succeeded them. Her
unselfish concern for others continu-
ed throughout the pain and distress
OF her fatal sickness, and she met
death with the fine and cheerful
courage which had characterized her
whole life
