Death of Mrs. ]. B. Wilson.

Mrs. Matte Wilson, beloved wife OF
J. B. Wilson, of Nashville, died in that
city on Wednesday, June 5, 1912, aged
81 years.
The family is very pleasantly re-
membered in Union City. They left
here twenty-four years ago and located
in Nashville. Mrs. Wilson kept popu-

citizens, especially the business men,
have cause to remember Mrs. Wilson's
kindness to them while boarders in her
home. She was like a mother to them,
not only looking after their comfort but
attending to the many little details Of
clothesmending and in hundred ways

Wilson was a member of the Christian

soul and intellect, a sweet-spirited wife,
mother, friend and neighbor, and he1

Displaying Her Banners

Recently member of Presbyterian church in
Missouri signed saloon petition. The matter was
brought to the attention of the Kansas City presby
terry in the bounds of which the church located.
In it's reports of the the presbytery after passing
on some administrative questions, laid down the fol-
lowing general principle for the governing of sessions
in such cases: "The presbyery aectionately reminds
the session that if there to suppose that
members of the church signing saloon petitions,
it incumbent on the session remind them that such
conduct is inconsistent with Christian life and grief
to those who to guard the of truth and
righteousness.
That action determines very clearly the ecclesias-
tca status of signing saloon petitions in that presby
terry and is distinct notification to all concerned to
govern themselves accordingly. The ethical ideals OF
one age differ materially from those of another and,
generally speaking, the latter is advance upon the
former More light and clearer light invariably

formulate plans and campaigns is clearly set forth
by R. J. Halle secretary of the National Liquor League
of America, in address before the liquor dealers
of Wisconsin Mr.. Halle urged the liquor men that
when they attended state conventions of liquor dealers
they should report the proceedings to the home organ
ization In talking this point, Mr.. Halle uncon-
sciousy gave picture of the who go to liquor
conventions when he said:

of her husband and brought to this
city the same day, when she was ex-
amined by the insanity board and
committed to the asylum at James
town. Mrs. Erickson is 50 years old,
is the mother of six children, the
oldest of whom is IA, and has been
a resident of Burke county for many
years. This malady was brought on
as a result of nervous trouble from
which she had been suffering for
some time, and her husband as we'll
as the insanity board are OF the belief
that after she is treated at the hos
pital for time she will come out all
right. She imagined she saw ghosts
almost all the time and was also
troubled some with too much re-
ligion. She frequently sent for the
