public servant; his bereaved family
a loving husband and his innume--
able friends a true friend.
One had to know Charles G. Wood
intimately to know the real, true
man, he was warmhearted, broad
minded and tolerant. He served his
state and country we'll. and the ster-
ling manhood that was in him rec
ognized both the duty and opportur
ity, and lifted his service into the
light of lasting companionship and
the reality of good example.
In many ways 1t can be truly said
of Charles c. Wood that he was
brilliant man, for everything he did.
he did it well, and his ability. to-
gether with his courteous manners
and genial ways, won the lifelong
respect and lasting admiration OF
his friends and brothers.
Ne was a native son Of Illinois,
born in Alexander county on the
9Th day OF June. 1855, he received
his education In the public schools
OF our beloved city. and while there
acquired the love and knowledge
OF military affairs. that afterwards
caused him ito join the state militia.
| and he rose from private In the
ranks to the exauited position of
First Lieutenant, which position he
| held with honor until his death.
When Charles C. Wool passed
away. at the meridian of life, he had
Imade record for usefulness, not
only for himself. but for the whole
state. We have missed him much
here since his departure, and as the
| days come and 90 We who knew him
will miss him more and more. The
good he did will grow brighter and
brighter as the years pass away un-
til 1t becomes his lasting monu-
| ment more enduring than marble,
and forever sacred in the hearts OK
his brothers and friends.
We mourn and sympathize with
his beloved ones, but we find words
: of comfort and consolation in his
: noble life. his generous character.
his sympathetic nature, his deeds OF
kindness and of generosity will ever
: keep alive his memory and frequen-
tly call to recollection the glory OF
I his name.
He had sunshiny disposition
, and forgiving spirit, that never har-
; bored a revenge. He will live in the
hearts Of those left behind, and TO
do this IA not to die, and as we stood
at his open grave an saw ali that

trust and hope that his immortal
soul has gone to its just reward, IN

The following letter is suggested:
The time has come for good roads
legislation. What We must do is to
pass laws that will aid us in our ef-
forts to secure and maintain good
highways.
The three bills absolutely essential
to this end are:
First-The payment in money of all
road taxes, instead of in labor.
Second-A State Highway Commits
sion, with supervisory powers, and
the power to appoint road experts and
engineers to the different counties,
the expense to be borne entirely by
the state.
Third-It should be made obligatory
on the part Of the county commission
ers to appoint county superintendent
of roads, instead of optional as is now
the law.
We need good roads badly, and We
request you to do your share in Sc
curing the passage of the above men.
