The record of seventy beautiful years
of life was closed last Friday afternoon
when Mrs. George w. Gillespie's soul
quilted the earthly tenement and passed
to the endless rest of the great beyond.
For some time failing in health, she,
with her husband, went to Florida in
January, in hopes the change in climate
would benefit her. Not being benefited
as was expected, she was taken to the
Johnston Willis hospital at Richmond,
about week ago, but in spite of all
care and the tender ministration of low
ing relatives the time had come to
Cast her burden on the Lord, and He
called her home.
Mrs. Gillespie was a native of Taze-
well county, having been born at Rich
lands in 1840. She was the daughter
of the late Colonel William and Olivia
Gillespie of that place, and the old
home, in which she was born stood near
the site of the present postoffice at
Richlands until 1890. She married Mr..
G. W. Gillespie in 1862 and of this union
seven children still survive: Mrs. John
b. Hurt, of Pounding Mill; Mrs. II. P.
Britain, of this place; Mrs. H. J.
Kelly, of Sioux Falls, S. D.; and four
boys, Robert K, of Pounding Mill; w.
T. and Barnes, of Tazewell, and David,
professor IN Cornell University at Utica,
New York.
Besides her husband and the children
before mentioned two brothers, Joseph
S. and Albert P. Gillespie, of thil place,
and four sisters, Mrs. Margaret Harris
son and Mrs. Ella Painter, of Tazewell,
and Mrs Henry Bowen and Mrs. Mary
Barns, of the Cove, survive her.
Mrs. Gillespie was faithful and con-
sistent member of the Christian church
and the Rev. w. S. Bullard, pastor of
this denomination at Bluefield, con-
Quoted the funeral services from her
late. home on Sunday morning. Her
nephews, W. G. Harrison, w. r
Bowen, James Hawkins, Jud, jeff and
shelf Gillespie, were the pail bearers,
and with tender care they laid her to
rest in the Jeffersonville Cemetery,
while her grand children acted as bear
ers of the beautiful floral tributes sent

Baseball.

On Saturday the junior ball teams of
Cedar Bluff and Richlands crossed bats
at the latter place. The game is re-
ported to have been an interesting one
in spite of the fact that the crowd in
terfered with the players by keeping too
close to the lines. The same thing oc-
Cured when Tazewell played there
will take steps to keep the crowds off
the grounds in future games. Satur-
days game resulted in a victory for
Cedar Bluff by a score of 10 to 8.

With the fine support of six hun
bred Fort Madison people-union men
and their families. Keokuk's Labor
Day celebration though 1t may be
termed safe and sane was one of
the most satisfactory ever held here
and the day was well spent by the
local populace and to thousand
visitors who spent the day and RECALLED
here.
Both the morning and afternoon
trains into the city from the north
carried several coaches filed with FIT
Madison people, about four hundred
coming by rail and the afternoon train
arriving at lis being loaded with
passengers.
The Ottumwa Belle and barge land
ed ct the dock about one o'clock with
two hundred passengers aboard and
this crowd materially swelled the list
OF visitors. Montrose people turned
out enforce for the celebration here
and the Keokuk & Western towns
contributed many Missourians to the

Mr. Lennon has but recently come

early afternoon but after slight

Observance Of Labor Sunday

Labor Sunday, the first here as in
other cities of the country, was ap-
propriately observed in the large
auditorium of the Westminster Pres
byterian church. There were present
some three hundred men, mostly
union men and & refreshing sprink-
ling of womankind. At three o'clock,
the first labor devotional program to
be observed on the Sabbath was be-
gun, with the singing of the inspiring
Doxology by the congregation, assist
ed by the choir and soloists.
Rev Harry B. Foster of the United
Presbyterian church was in charge
of the afternoons order of services.
Succeeding the singing of the Dox-
ology, brief scripture reading by
Henry F. Kruger was heard, one of
the texts for thought being made ap-
plicable to the occasion, taken from
the eleventh chapter of Mathew,
Come all we that labor and are heavy
laden and will give you rest"
Prayer followed, lead by Rev. Jas.
F. Sanders of the First Baptist church.
Coward Christian Soldiers" COM
pleted the first installment of the pro-
gram before DIR. e. B. Newcomb's ad-
dress.
All three of the speakers, Messrs.
Newcomb, Lennon and Potter made
excellent addresses. None Of them
were of the type that tire and all
were of heart interest and particu-
larly pleasing to the gathering of
union men who were present to enjoy
as well as worship at this particular
gathering.
