OBITUARIES.
Mrs. Robinson Is Dead.

The sad news of the death of Mrs
Jane Robinson one of the best known
and highly esteemed citizens of our
city, was shock to the people. She
died Wednesday morning at 7:45
o'clock, peacefully and quietly slept
away without struggle at her home,
761 West Tenth street. Her husband,
johnson Robinson, had just preceded
her by about cne year. She was a
good woman, always willing to aid
and give good counsel to the young
people. She had been a Christian for
more than forty years and one Of
the organizers of the Union Congre-
gational church and it's main pillar,
one of it's deaconess. She was true
to her church, to her neighbors and
her friends. She was superintendent
of the Union Congregational Sunday
school. She had no children, but all
who knew her loved her as mother.
Funeral was held from the Union Con-
gregational church Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. T. M.
Brumfield, her minister, assisted by
Revs. S. Bates, T. L. Griffith and B.
U. Taylor. Mrs. Robinson was born
in Montgomery county, Kentucky,
and came to Des Moines fifty years
ago. She was undoubtedly one Of the
oldest colored settlers in our city, was
married to John Bell, who died about
one year after their marriage. Later
she married johnson Robinson. She
was charter member of the House
hold Of Ruth and the last living char
ter member. She leaves three broth
ers, Rev. Henry Cravens, Howard
Cravens Of this city and Rev. J. S.
CraYens of Shelbina, Mo-, a large
number of other relatives and host
of life long friends TO mourn her loss.
The pail bearers were Joseph Shepard,
jeff Logan, R. N. Hyde, E. T. Banks,
M. B. Jackson and C. S. Stewart. The
little children of her Sunday school
attended in a body with their teach
ers and were an escort of honor.
While the life Of this good woman is
gone, yet her sweet, loving influence
is left in the hearts Of all to bless
humanity. The Bystander extends
profound sorrow and coincidence.

EDITORS OBSERVATIONS.
By John L. Thompson

l am now observing in the north
central part Of the great state OF
Missouri, which, in many respects, is
one of the greatest states in the
union. She has more advantages and
furnishes more work for the young
man wishing to enter the agricultural
profession or any Of the industrial
pursuits, with a great water resource
which maintains a large number OF
factories and manufacturing estab-
lishments and furnishes special in
ducements to those who choose and
follow that avocation. In fact, few
months ago the st. Louis Dispatch
offered prize of $500 for the best
ten reasons why Missouri furnishes
better opportunities for agriculture
than any other state in the union.
This contest was open to any one IN
the United States and Canada. There
were hundreds of men and women
who wrote essays giving their ten
best reasons why Missouri excelled

they have lived since. To this union
four children were born, the oldest
about 8 years and the youngest about

Christian church of Fosterville, Tenn.
She was a member Of the Artic Taber-
nacle of this city, who had charge of
the body. The funeral services were
held from the Union Congregational
church, preached by Rev. T. NJ. Brum-
field, assisted by Revs. W. L. Lee and

loving wife and a good Christian, de-
voted to her husband, and he was very
devoted to her. 1t was the greatest
sight to see him weep over the body,
with two little children in his arms
and two other small ones holding to
hlm, pitiful sight. Thus an exem-
plary young wife was taken in the
morning of life. We extend our sin
cere, heartfelt sorrow to the bereaved
family.
