Hightower had gone to the Lynn

and shot him to death as he sat in the
chair
Hightower was shot in the stomach

shot, neighbor. Tom Hart states
that three or four shots were fired in

there were others. The body holds
seven wounds indicating the pistol was

tion by Professor Chss. G. Maphis, pro-
fessor Of secondary education at the
the University and Director, of the
Summer School.
Professor Maphis sums up the country
life situation, with reference to plans to
better it, by saying:
The program of the Rural Life Con-
ference was planned in the belief that
no single agency for the betterment of
country lite is sufficient to brig soout
the improvement in industrial, social
and religious conditions for which ural
life workers everywhere are striving
Good schools alone will not doit; ne ther
will good roads, good churches, or b tier
methods of farming. A cooperation of
all these agencies is necessary for the
revitalizatIon and redirection of social
forces. There must be federstio, Of
rural life forces. The educator, the
doctor, the preacher, the editor, the
farmer, the farmers wife, the merch-
ant, and the good roads advocate must
combine their efforts toward one com-
mon end-the defence of country life

Henry Clay Anderson.

The familiar figure and kindly face of
Henry Clay Anderson have dropped
from the procession, and his genial
spirit, wise with knowledge of the in
finite, is with the majority. What pass
ed at the final moment of dissolution is
beyond our ken. We can only hope that
the balance was in favor of the parting
soul-that a life full of good deeds, of
kindly service to his fellows may make
the dream of death" a pleasant one.
All of US know of mis- generosity, his
hospitality, his ministrations to the sick
and his gifts to Gods poor, and few of
US have emulated and none have sur
passed him in these shining qualities.
His charity was not only the vulgar
charity of giving-it covered like a
mantle the foibles ami faults of his fel-
lows.
l never heard him speak i'll of man
or woman, and of a dead man whose
faults were being discussed, in his pres
ence, he repeated the latin phrase,
which means: "Of the dead say nothing
bat good" AS boy he was a soldier
and played his par5 in the greatest
drama of centuries. Later on, and un-
til his death, he was a conscientious and
painstaking attorney. He liked the
best literature and had lively sense of
the humorous and the pathetic. One of
his favorite quotations was the quatrain
recessional of Goldsmith:
Teach me to feel another's woe,
And hide the faults see;
The mercy to others show,
That mercy show to me.
