An article appeared in the last
issue of the REGISTER, purporting
to have been written by 'sschool-
boy" Of Lesterville, but which
shows the handiWork of an older.
if not wiser head. This article
consisted of a lot of senseless
slang, intended to impress your
correspondent with the disgrace
which he should feel for having
been born in the north. The first
thought of your correspondent
was to ignore it entirely, but as
it might place him in an erroneous
light before the best element of
the people here, whose good will
he courts, he thought best to light
ly touch upon it, though he will
not fall SO low in his own esteem
as to utter anv vulgar, slangy
personalities. Your correspondent
does not pose as one who is trying
to reform Missouri, or even Lester
vile, and the effusion OF "School-
boy" is the first intimation he had
that the state needed reforming,
for it certainly seems to him to be
pretty good state as it is. Your
correspondent has never attempted
to write anything in the way1of
Lesterville items, except actual
occurrences, as seen by him, or as
reported to him from authentic
sources. He has also refrained at
all times from personalities, even
the mention of names would have
been a matter of news. Your COR
respondent also hopes that the
desire of the Lesterville school,
boys ''to learn, and to grow up to
be intelligent and useful men"
will be fulfilled, and stands ready
at all times to lend a helping hand
towards that end. For one thing
your correspondent wishes to
thank the grown up "Sahoolboy,"
and that is for saying that your
correspondent is not like the
Aurora -Borealis, which, we are
told by a great poet, "flits ere you
can find its place." Your cores
pondent's location can be easily
found, and he is not thinking of
fitting, but will continue to report
the occurrences of this section, as
he sees them, without fear or
favor HUBITE.

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount Of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amo1nt Of

breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling

Obituary.

James @. Vance died at his
home near Roselle, Madison, coun-
ty, Mo-, on the 9th day of January,
1910. He was born September
22d, 1874, in Madison county, Mo-,
and spent his life in the county of
his nativity.
He united in marriage with Miss
Margret G, Gardener July 23d,
1868. To this union nine children
were born--four sons and five
daughters. Two of the children
preceded the father over the River
of Death.
Bro. Vance joined the Baptist
church known by the name Of
Bethany, in his early life, and
continued in its fellowship till
called from his earthly labors.
He has long been one Of the pillars
of his church, and will be greatly
missed by the membership. His
Christian walk and upright life,
through 80 many long years of
toll for the cause of the master, is
proof of his fidelity to the cause
he loved. His sterling honesty
and manly business methods have
never been questioned by any one
who knew him.
Besides his wife and children,
he leaves a large number of rela-
tives and friends to mourn his
loss; but we mourn not as those
who have no hope. Faith says
that in the sweet by-and-by the
disconsolate companion and child
rem will meet him over on the
other shore.
Bro. Vance had for many years
been in bad health, but BY his
industry and economy has ever
provided d bountiful living for his
loved ones, and leaves his dear
companion.well providedfor in her
old and infrm days. But the
greatest heritage left to his loved
ones is the good example Of his
upright, Christian life. W
His funeral was conducted by
the writer, at Bethany church, in
the presence Of a large concourse
Of sorrowing relatives and friends.
Text: Rev. 14:13, reading, 81

unto me, write blessed is the dead
who die In the Lord from hence
forth; yea, saith the spirit, that
they may rest from their labors,
and their works do follow them.'
After which the body was laid to
rest In the old Bethany cemetery.
Felt in the heart and in the home
Aplace no charm can fill,
Fathers gone, we are left alone,
