HAYES TOWNSHIP
PIONEER DEAD
J. r. 6roekeIsby, Resident Of Hayes
Township Since 1874, Passes
Away on Friday.
FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED
Deceased Was Well Known All Over
Crawford County and Every
one Was a Friend.

On Friday last John R. Brockelsby,
resident of Hayes township, died at
his home few miles south of Vail.
His death was a shock to his near
neighbors, for his physical condition
had NOT been such as to warn them of
1.-THE near approach of death. For sew
eral years he seemed to enjoy the
best OF health and as late as Saturday
before his death he was in Vail en-
joying the society of his friends and
seemed to be in jolly mood.
Mr.. Brockelsby was born Septem-
Der 19, 1874, at Lincolnshire, England,
and was, at the time of his death,
about sixty.seven years of age. He
came to the United States from Eng
land in 1868 and located in Clinton
county, Iowa. Shortly after his ar
rival he was married to Miss Cousins,
who survives him. In 1874 he and
his wife came to Crawford county and
settled in Hayes township, which was
then sparsely settled. There We're
born to this union nine children, three
of whom died in infancy. The six
still living in and around Vail are: w.
H., Charles E., George Thomas, John
Earl, Alice and James.
Mr.. Brockelsby enjoyed an extern
sive acquaintance in the county, not
only because of his long residence
here, but on account OF his habitual
good nature and his desire to meet
and associate with his neighbors and
friends. For a number Of years he
had been prominent in the politics OF
the county, having attended every re-
publican county convention during the
last decade or more. He was always
stalwart republican and interested
in the success of his party. He Will
be greatly missed by the leaders OF
the republican party in the county be-
cause OF his activity and the enthusi'

The meeting of the city council on
Friday night was full of interest on
account of the action of the council
taken on the paving question. There
were so many people present that the
council room was inadequate to &C.
commodate the crowd and an adjourn
ment was had to the city hall. There
were representatives of both sides of
the question present and heard by the
council. After the hearing, the coun.
Gil decided to 60 ahead and pave a

since then have designated the par

ing for this year, while the council
has decided upon almost twice that
number of blocks.
In another column of the paper will
be found an advertisement for bids for
the construction Of the paving. The
council is not irrevocably committed
to pave the full number OF blocks en-
braced in the advertisement, but can
accept bids for any portion OF the
work advertised, and it may be that
not more than twelve or fourteen
blocks will be actually paved this year.
We are glad the question is settled
and the agitation is over. We trust
that the work will proceed without
any further interruption. The council
has seemingly acted in good faith in
the matter and has no purpose except
to serve the business interests of the
city.
A great many people think that
Denison is too small place to enter
into a paving project so large as the
one decided upon, but we think that
time will demonstrate that it is a
wise move to go ahead, and that at
least the business thoroughfares OF
the city should be paved. We do not.
however, believe that there Is a de-
mand for paving extensively in the
residence portion of the city.
The council is not committed to any
kind of paving and bidders are at lib
erty to submit propositions for the
various kinds of paving. 1t may be
that the council will adopt one kind of
paving on certain streets and another
kind on other streets. Almost all OF
the cities between Denison and Chi
cago, where paving has been done,
have adopted brick paving and our
prediction is that if the council will
thoroughly investigate this kind OF
pavement, it will be inclined to favor
the brick pavement as against any
other kind, both because of it's cheap
ness and durability. The council
should hesitate to adopt any kind OF
pavement which has not been thor
oughly tested and it's satisfaction
proved.

And inasmuch as [ am not after anything
for myself, the charge of "selfshness' seems
ridiculous-especially as it comes from a sup
porter of Smith, who never gets interested in
the people until the people have something
that Smith wants. The fact that Smith wants
the Senatorship, when he hasn't even been
sworn in as Governor, makes it comical for
one of his supporters to accuse some one else
of "selfshness."
Of course, there isn't a particle of "selfsh-
ness" about Smith.
