Obituary.

Again the grave monster, death, has Wis
tied our community (Roselle)u and claimed
for his victim, Mrs. Margaret Vance, wife
of the late James C. Vance. Sister Vance
suffered long and much. All was done
that loving hands could do, but alas the
ummon had come and she must answer.
Sister Vance was born April 5th, 1851,
and married to James c. Vance July 23d,
1868. To these good people were born
nine children, seven of whom are living TO
mourn the departure; one in Oklahoma,
two in St. Francois County, Mo-, two in
Iron County, and two on the old home
stead in Madison County, near Roselle.
She also leaves sixteen grandchildren and a
host of friends. She had been a member OF
the Baptist church for over forty-fve years.
The end came April goth, 1912, aged Of
years and Is days. The funeral discourse
was preached by the writer at the old home,
to a large congregation. Text: Hosea
18th chapter and 18th verse, after which
her remains were laid to rest beside her
husband in Old Bethany burying ground, to
await the resurrection Of the just. She has
gone and we must follow. We feel her loss
but know it's her gain. So don't grieye.
dear children, mother is not dead, only
gone to live with the redeemed on the other
shore. May hope and peace be yours
herel AT last, dwell with the host OF re-
deemed above forever more.
So mote it bel PASTOR.

HOffmann-TapIey

The Hoffman Tapley wedding,
which occurred May 1st, was one
of the prettiest affairs Ironton peo-
pie have witnessed for several
years. The Baptist church was
used for the occasion, and was
most artistically and beautifully
decorated by the young friends of
Miss Tapley, white and lilac be-
ing the color scheme, which was
carried out from the organ at the
back of the altar, wedding bell,
each seat, and to the outer en-
trance, the center aisle being laid
in white. At high noon Miss Ruth
Rudy sang 81 Love You Truly"
The organ was presided over by
Miss Reagan and Mendelssohn
Wedding March played as the
bridal party entered the church.
Mrs. j. Newman acted as matron
of honor, Miss Laura Codding as
bridesmaid, MI. J. Newman as
best man and Mr.. L. Barger as
groomsman. The bride wore white
satin entrain, with trim mings of
pearls, full length bridal veil
fastened with lilies OF the valley,
and carried a bouquet of white
roses. Mrs. Newman in pink and
Miss Codding in blue, the men in
black, all served to perfect the oc-
casion. Rev. Self performed the
ceremony in a very impressive
manner, using the ring service.
The pillow on which the bride
knelt at the altar was made of
white brocade satin which has
been in the family over thirty
years.
Following the church ceremony
carriages conveyed the company
to "Pomona Heights where, at
1880 P. M, a reception was given.
Miss Mildred st. Louis and Miss
Ruth Tapley assisted in receiv-
ing. A fve.course breakfast fol-
lowed and the large assembly of
guests, offering congratulations,
making music, admiring the
beautiful presents, too numerous
to mention-not forgetting the
regulation quantity of rice-com-
bined to make the hours pass all
too rapidly, until time for thes.train,
which was to carry Jul young
friends on an extended trip
through Nebraska and Iowa.
They will upon their return make
their home in Arcadia. They
carry with them the best wishes
of many friends. GUEST.

home at any time. Last weeks
paper reads as if you are about
worn out with the winter weather
you've been having. After read
ing what you had to say about the
snow, / went to the front door
with the field glasses and took a
look at the thousands of acres of
snow on the tops of the mountains
from fifty to seventy-fve miles
away, and thought If you could
stand among the flowers of San
Diego and e the snow SO far
away, you wouldn't get tired of it
very soon. The winter blooming
flowers are very fine, indeed. We
picked a dozen Gala lilies Sum
day morning in the yard where
they had bloomed without any
protection from the elements and
with very little are from US.
Some rain has been falling during
this month and each shower is re-
ceived with great rejoicing by the
people, as they do not expect any
rain after this month for about an
other year. The supply of water
is collected for the city in i'm
mense dams fifty or sixty miles
up in the mountains and they
guard against dry seasons by
storing enough to last two or three
years if necessary. 1t takes irri-
cation to keep the vegetation
growing and people are grasping
every opportunity offered in that
line. With kindest regards and
best wishes"
George Gibbs sold his farm and
household goods about a month
ago and went to California. 1t
cost himEabout $500 spot cash for
transportation for himself and
family. He sold his farm for $500
less than it was worth and his
stock, cattle and household stuff
at about $500 less than their worth,
80 in all his month in California
cost him nearly $500. Mr.. Gibbs
had labored hard all his life to ac-
cumulate something. A broker
kept writing him to come to Cali
fornia and pictured that country
as a veritable paradise. MI. Gibbs
finally decided to go. Then he
got the western fever and all
hallelujah couldn't stop him. He
went. When there he found that
everything had been grossly mis-
represented to him. There were
no peaches in the Imperial Valley,
neither were there any tomato
vines which had been bearing
continuously for the past Is years
as had been told him. He found
that only rich men could afford
irrigation and without irrigation
nothing could be produced. There
was no such thing as cotton and
corn fields. So Gibbs set his face
homeward. He suddenly got the
Southeast Missouri fever. He
took the first train headed cas-
and began to smile. He was going
home back to old Southeast Mis-.
souri,, where the cotton and corr
grows luxuriantly with only the
assistance of the prodding of 6
crooked stick. Where the com.
paratively poor man can own 16t
acres of the richest land on thu
globe. Nc irrigation or fertilizer
are needed. Well, Gibbs 60
home Friday night and he was tn,
proudest man in Campbell Satur'
day morning. He feels his los
greatly, of course, but he has al
ready set about to replenish hi
funds by renting a farm. He hac
a crowd about him all day Satur.
day listening to his description o
that much over-rated country, anc
his advice is for poor men to stay
as far away from California al
they can get.-CampbeU Citizen,

A small cyclone passed through
Salem last Sunday morning doing
considerable damage to out
houses, barns and other property
in its path, the damage in all
would amount to about $500. It
started, as far as we can learn, at

mons Iron mine, tearing his out
buildings all down and killing one
SOW, several chickens and other
damages all amounting to about
$500. The next place it struck
was A. @. Douglas doing consid-
cradle damage there, passing on
to Ward w. Palmer's it blew
down his barn, wood house and
other two out buildings, breaking
two large window glasses in his
house, tearing the screens off and
damaged the front porch consid-
cradle. No insurance on any out
buildings, loss about $500. The
next place the cyclone hit was the
Salem Lumber Co.. scattering the
lumber and breaking and split
ting many boards, damage 800;
from there it went on in its north
easterlyN course blowing down
barns, out houses, trees and fenc-
ing, leaving destruction and sew
