Gen. Lafayette, the French pa
triot and friend of the Americans,
visited Gen. Andrew Jackson at
the Hermitage in 1925. While
there he met Hon. w b Lewis of
Nashville, who was in Jackson's
cabinet. The two took quite a
fancy to each other and when they
parted Lafayette presented Mr.,
Lewis with his watch. Mr.. Lewis
was the grandfather of Col. Robt.
Martin, now prominent zeal es-
tate man of Nashville. In the dis
tribution of the heirlooms of the
family this watch fell to Col, Mar
tin and he uses It daily. 1t keeps
perfect time and has done SO
through all these years. 1t is a
single case silver watch with plain
white face with raised heur de lis
on the back. The watch has for
eign appearance and is possibly
the only souvener of Lafayette In
this country. The mechanism does
not seem worn at all. Col. Mar
tin prizes it very highly. He has
been requested to turn it over to
the historical society at Nashville
but he declined and says he will
give it to his son at his own death.
The fact that it has run for all
these years and still keeps perfect
time is a marvellous contribution
to the skill, honesty and efficiency
of the jewellers of that early day.

and law-abiding people, must
elect Legislature in harmony
with the present liquor laws If
they hope to retain them, We
are of opinion that if an honest
effort had been made to enforce
the state wide law and failure
resulted, that even the most par
TITAN prohlbitionist would be
willing to grant everything that
the platform has Incorporated
in this plank. But every. man
who has studied conditions at all,
and who has sense enough to dis
tinguish between a bull moose
and hyena, knows that the
state wide law has been wanton.
| ly, persistently and outrageous,
ly violated from the very start.

There is absolutely no defense
to be offered in favor of the IL
quor traffic. IL is a curse to the
people and the nation, and, in
our judgement, the Democratic
party has made a grievous mis-.
take in not leaving it to the wis
dom of the Legislature After
all it is up to the Legislature to
maintain or modify the state
wide law, and the temperance
people, the liberty loving people

The wise ones of the party
hoped to, and endeavored to, di-
vorce Patterson from the No
vember race, but Patterson said
nit, and nit went, and the party
ticket went with the nit of Pat
terson. 1t simply demonstrates
how completely the Democratic
party is under the control of Pat
terson, and through Patterson
the hquor and criminal elements

Mrs. NJ. E Moore, a business
woman, writing in the West
Coast Magazine on the effect of
equal suffrage in California, says:
ut was not many hours before
our new status was distinctly
observable. At least it was pat
ent to me that we, especially
business women, had a standing
entirely different from that
granted to us before we became
voters, Whereas, we had before
been treated more or less as
though our presenc in business
was merely tolerated, we were
now made to feel at once that we
had a right in the business world.
[ have received no less courtesy
than before, nor do | expect tc
receive less. In fact | believe
that the courtesy offered is more
genuine than before. There is
less tendency to remark on the
color and fit of ones clothes, and
more to heed ones opinion
There is less tempering of the
conversation to the subjects il
might be thought would interest
women and more genuine eX
preston of ideas.

OLD SETTLER DEAD

Peter Mayer who died in Irwin, last
week was an old settler in this locality
his old home being the place across
from Pleasant Valley Church where
VIM. French now lives. He left the
farm over twenty years ago and NOV
ed into town. The following obituary
was written by C. e. Dudley, veteran
Irwin correspondent to the Shelby
County Republican.
Peter Mayer was born in Biltberg,
Germany. July Goth, 1885, and died in
Irwin, Iowa, Feb. 18th, 1912, at the
age of rs years months and Is days.
He came to America in 1854 settling
in Sagetown, ILL.,, where he worked
at his trade as blacksmith until 1881.
In that year he came to Iowa, settl-
ing on farm four miles east of
Irwin. Here he lived until 1891, when
he moved to Irwin, where he has lived
almost continually ever since. He
was married to Miss Louis Slump in
1861, who passed away in 1901. To
this union were born twelve children
of whom eight survive, they are Henry
of Laurel, Neb., Chas. of South Omaha
Clyde of Sioux City, John of Defiance,
William of Irwin, Mrs. Mary Shannon,
of Irwin, Mrs. Louis Wilmarth of Wal
nut, and Mrs. Lille Pixley of O'Neil

from surrounding towns were present
Mr.. Mayer being one of the old sett-
lers her was known to practically
every one and more kindly gentle
man never lived. All his acquaint-
ances, new and old, express theiI
deep appreciation of his many good

nothing better than to have all Its

Upon getting to the old building
he jumped from the sled to show us
where the othr road was, but soon
got entirely bewildered and excited
and began running around in cir
Gle, throwing up his hands and
screaming over and over again, 81 be's
lost, l be's lost, | knows not vich is
mort, sout, east or vest" When in
formed that the wind was blowing
from the north he finally located the
other road; which was blockaded by
a tremendous large drift of snow. 1t
took a great deal of shoveling there
and Croft Jr. and Young got warmed
up to a certain extent. About this
time it was growing lighter as the
moon was rising and at times could
be family observed through the clouds
and finally after while we reached
the long sought place, and after get
ting the horses into the barn, we
ourselves went to the house to get
the sensation of the fire, and were
surprised to see that it was past three
o'clok on the morning of the 7th. A
warm breakfast was soon placed be-
fore us 1t being the first mouthful OF
food we had tasted for fifteen hours,
and If / ever appreciated meal 1t
was that one. Young went out few
n lat 20 caftIn and
found them at a farmers place hav-
ing turned about, was driven by the
wind for three miles, with the excep-
tions of two which sought shelter in
the old house at the fork OF the roads.
We sit around the fire until day
light so as to give the horses good
rest, before starting on the return
trip, which we did about nine A. M.
with the same party except Young
place was taken by Newton, We wished
to reach Belle PLANE by two o'clock;
but when that hour came We were
not more than half way, as the wind
began to blow gale about ten o'clock
and our progress was very slow, part
of the time / took the lead and some
times Newton. At places the snow
was so loose and deep that many
times when the horses stepped from
the road they would be so submerged
that only their ears and the names
could be seen, we crossed places, that
had the horses broken through we
could have never gotten out, we drove
over wire fences and at one place
drove over two creeks each more than
twenty foot deep, not knowing that
such existed. After going on in this
way, night overlook us and 1t was far
past nine o'clock when Belle Plaine
was reached. After supper we went
to bed, 1t being the first sleep for the
most of us for forty-two hours. The
next morning all were up early and
started home, but 1t took all day long
to go the eight miles, and il the neigh
bors haden't turned out and helped

that far. l reached my place about
sun down, and found the family un-
harmed but the barn was showed en-

WORK
STATE AGENT WILSON is ANx.
IoUs THAT MISSISSIPPI MAKE
GOOD SHOWING.

R. w. Thompson, the government
demonstration agent for Forrest coun-
ty, has received a request from r. S.
Wilson, the state agent, asking for all
available data relative to the work
accomplished in this county during the
current year. Mr.. Wilson is anxious
to make the best possible showing for
Mississippi in this line OF work and
every citizen OF the state is directly
or indirectly interested in his being
able to do so.
Since the day the lamented DR.. 5.
H. Knapp became interested in farm
demonstration work in the south.
there has been a steady increase in
the effectiveness of that work. How
ever. it is absolutely necessary that
the people cooperate with the Govern
ment if the best results are to be OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Wilson believes that an in
SAON Va Oh lue part
Of farmers. merchants, bankers and
professional men, will go far toward
guaranteeing adequate appropriations
for the extension of the work in this
state.
A suggestion has been made that
number of letters from business men
and farmers, addressed to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington.
endorsing the work and urging its
continued enlargement would be very
helpful. Such communications should
be voluntary and relate TO the work
as it has been observed by the writer.
in order 10 be most effective.
Ii is suggested that agriculture is
the basis Of all wealth-and if a bust
ness man wants to increase his trade
in any line he should encourage agri- .
culture. II is further urged that
failure TO appreciate and cooperate
with the government demonstration .
agents is sure to bring a distinct loss.

someone discovered that things could
be planted in Nebraska with great
success, and several hundred thous.
and people grabbed hoes and bedding
and nived thither. The result was
discouraging owing to the poor rain
service and many a Nebraska farmer
walked the streets of Omaha vainly
endeavoring to trade a $40 acre farm
for a good meal. Early Nebraskans
lived in sod huts and spent their
spare time practicing backward dives
into cyclone cellars. But civilization
has moistened the climate and tanned
the tornado and Nebraska land is
now worth $4,000 an acre.
Nebraska is defaced on the east BY
the Missouri river. which has chewed
its boundary line into ribbons and
contains the Platte river which is 1000
miles long and so shallow that a cat
fish naTagates on wheels. Nebraska
also contains the Republican fork
which, however, is not the one which
occurred in Chicago last summer.
Nebraska people are lree ranging.
deep breathing and plain speaking.
The state is small island of democ-
racy' completely surrounded by re-
publican states. This is because it
contains a working majority OF the
Democratic party in the person of
William ]. Bryan, a dark extensive
man who studied the habits and meth.
DDS Of the early Nebraska tornado
so carefully that he has initiated
them successfully in four democratic
conventions.
Nebraska is a good spring and fall
resort for pleasure seekers and the
enemies Of prairie chickens, and is
