DIED-At her home, "yilla Clara
plantation, August 9TH, 1911, at O'Clock
in the evening. MRS. JOSEPHINE LE-
GENDRE. CLIFTON, relic OF the late
Alfred Clifton.
Born Of Spanish and Italian parents,
and early orphaned, she spent her youth
in Creole family near Baton Rouge,
La, reared in the holy Catholic faith.
There she made her home after an early
marriage with John Clifton in 1855.
From this union there lives one son, her
only child.
The dowry given orphan girls enabled
her to buy little home and some stock,
the accumulation Of which was her ex-
preston of gratefulness.
The dainty wedding garments provided
by her kind benefactress were tenderly
laid away that they might be used for
her burial robes.
The second marriage with the brother
OF the husband Of her youth, brought her
to live in Tensas, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Clifton grew to old age, loved and
loving the family with whom they had
cast their lot more than forty years ago.
Modest, unobtrusive, doing her duty
steadfastly as she saw it, quiet and pa
tient, fond wife, loving mother, loyal
friend. she has gone to the reward that
has been promised those that are faithful
unto death.
Peacefully she sleeps beside her hus-
band, the little bride Of the long ego.
The busy hands are folded, and the little
feet that ran ON willing errands are at
rest. God bless and keep herl

Federal Incorporation.

In his annual message to Con-
gress President Taft renews his
recommendation for a federal in
corporation act. AS The Commoner
has frequently pointed out, this is
one Of the most dangerous among
all the dangers changes sought to
be made by the special interests.
George w. Perkins, the associate
Of j. Pierpont Morgan, may be
said to be the originator of this
plan SO far as present day agita-
tion is concerned but in it's nature
it is older than Perkins land older
even than America itself. 1t is, in
truth, part and parcel of the doc
trine Of kings 30 far as that doc
trine may be applied to a people
struggling for the preservation Of
popular government. 1t means
Capitalization in the federal gov
ernment Of control over great COR
porations and would make 1t that
much more difficult for the people

Everybody is Talking About the
st. Louis Republic.

And indeed there is something
to talk about. Where there's
smoke there's FIRE. Things are
happening at The Republic. Its
new editor, Horatio w. Seymour,
has his own ideas about making
a newspaper. And Republic read
ers seem to think they are pretty
good ideas, too. They are tickled
with the crisp, spicy little para
graphs ofeditorial comment which
appear each day; they are de-
lighted with the good, sound, mill
liant Democracy-old fashioned,
Jeffersonian Democracy-and the
merciless exposure Of Republican
fallacies and misrule; they are
laughing over the caricatures and
funmaking cartoons; they are in
terested in the stories of strange,
novel things that happen in every
day life and recognize the su-
perior manner in which the news
in general is given; they are
pleased with the new dress The
Republic is wearing-clearer type
and more open lines.
The enlarged size OF The Republic,
it's enlarged staff of writer's, its en-
larged facilities for obtaining and
printing the news and the liveliest
and best editorial page in the
Mississippi Valley are making
The st. Louis Republic the most
talked of, the most interesting and
the cheapest newspaper, value
considered, to be had by the resi-
dents of Missouri and contiguous
territory.

Obituary..

Died - November 22d, 1911,
Clarence, the son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Harvey Jones, aged 2 years, {
months and 13 days. The body
was inferred in the Brewingtor
cemetery. The family have the
sympathy of the community ir
their loss.
No more we'll hear the childish laughter,
Nor see those little cheeks aglow,
For he's passed beyond the shadow,
Where all mortality must 60.
Fold away those little garments,
Let them not too soon be found,
Nothing now they bring but heartaches,
Time alone can heal the wound.
Put away those little playthings
They now make the heart feel sore,
Clarence has passed beyond the shadow
And will never need them more.
How they loved that little flower,
That only bloomed to fade away,
He'll bloom again in Eden's bower,
More beautiful than flowers Of May.
A FRIEND.
