A WORTHY CITIZEN
PASSES TO REWAR !

OOSOBh Il ANObiihOH1
honored citizen of this commui y
died at his residence four miles "eSe
of this place Tuesday morning a'
half past one o'clock. lie had oeen
sick for several months previous to
his taking away, therefore his deS'n
was not unexpected.
Mr.. Robinson was born IN MAJ
shal county, Mississippi, and came
to Pocahontas IN the year 1898 OF
1859. He engaged 10 business win
Pool, Pulliam e. Company, mer-
chants, who conducted their busl-
ness in frame building on The
corner where the hardware store Is
now located. He served IN the
capacity of book keeper for TINS
firm until the call to arms in the
war between the States in 1861.
He went TO the front in the Cor
federate army with the first call Tor
volunteers. II e went with the
army to the east of TIE Mlssls'
slppl where the principal part o.
the fighting was done and saw SER
vice in many of the hottest battles
of Corinth, Murphysboro, Frank
lin, Lookout Mountain, Resaca,
and many other minor engagements.
When The surrender came in 1868
he laid aside his musket and took
up the pursuits of the life of civil
ian, and was engaged as book keeper
for some of the .largesG mercantile
establishments here until in the
year 1872, when he was elected
Clerk of the Circuit Court after
one of the hottest political fights
ever witnessed IN this county. His
opponent was the late Major John
Miller, Jr. He served as clerk fol
three successive terms and was
twice clerk after intervening terms
between his years of service. His
last public service was that o.
county clerk, his term-of office .ex
piring In 1902. Y
Mr.. Robinson was married in The
the latter part of the year 1890 to
Miss Alabama Mccoy, who survives
HIM. There was no issues of their
bodies. She was the daughter of
the late Judge John Mccoy who
] was formerly worthy citizen Of
our county.
All that was mortal of Mr.. Rob.
inson was laid to its eternal rest in
the family burying ground near his
home Tuesday afternoon, the Ma
sonic Fraterntty, of which he was
an honored member, performing
the last sad rites at the grave of
their departed brother.
The record of Mr.. Robinson's
life was without a stain or blemish
to blight it. During the long years
of his public service no stigma can
be found on his record. His books
were always absolutely correct, his
balances true, as the balances in his
whole life will be found by the
Judge of the Quick and the Dead at
the last investigation around the
Great White Throne above. HIS
charity for the poor and distressed
was only bounded by his ability to
aid, and many a poor widow and
orphan child Will shed tears of re-
gret and sorrow on account of his
death. The greatest monument to
bis memory is his deeds of charity
for the suffering and needy. He
had passed his three score and ten
years.
May his soul find an abiding place
in that land of rest where angels
peacefully dwell and where sorrow
andcoroding cares never come, where
God reIgns eternal in the heavens.
Peace to his ashes.

WILL SEND TROOPS.

WASHINGTON. ID. G, Nov 10
The state department has practcailN
decided To send a regiment of troops
from Manila to Chin Wing Tao. a
seaport of China. $50 miles from Pc
king on the gulf of Pechelll- Inc
purpose is to perform an internal
tionaI duty under the Boxer treaty IN
keeping open the line of communlca
ton between Pelling and the sea Al
the state department il was said that
the request for troops had not Deeh
made but was mOmentarily expected.
Officials are careful to make IL ap-
near that the despatch of troops to
China will be absolutely without po-
litical meaning and the movement IS
not to be construed as Intervention
Under the treaty which terminated tne
Boxer troubles. the United States
with other powers. were accorded the
privilege of maintaining military
guard along the line of railway De-
tween Peking and Tien Tsin in order
To guard against such an event as
a siege of The legation during Boxer
risings. Heretofore the United states
never accepted the privilege beyond
keeping a few marines on the ground
and it has fallen to the lot of the
other nations To maintain small gar
risons along the road from Tien Tsln
to Peking The fact that the force
to be dispatched is limited to one
regiment is in itself an indication that
there is no intention on the part OF
the United States government to IN
dulge in any large military demon
stratior against China. II is declared
that no designs are entertained upon
any Chinese territory.
