In Memory.

On Wednesday morning. Nov. 9th,
1913. Thomas w. Ashby. of Elk Garden,
w. Va, passed from time to eternity,
at the old Dixon homestead, where four
years ago next January j. Frank Dixon
passed away, and where, Tom" as he
was generally called had years ago
found his bride, and where he had lived
all his married life, and found a happy
home, here death found him, but found
him ready watching, waiting
We have known Tom" personally
and intimately for wears. We have
been with him on such various occasions.
that we knew him well.
We knew that his heart always beat
in sympathy, and in response to the cry
of distress and need. We know that
on sundry occasions a sack was filled
with substantials, and send to the home
of some poor needy family. His hand
was ever open, his heart ever willing to
help worthy cause When the move
ment to establish home for homeless
children was inaugurated last fall, the
name of T. w. Ashby and wife were
pledged for one. hundred dollars We
do not speak of these things to undulY
praise him, but to ohm justice. We
could not, if we would, add one laurel
leaf to his crown. For each of US is
the weaver of his own crown, but we
can now that his lips are cold, silent and
sealed in death, reach back into his
past, ended life, and bring forth and
record those noble traits of character,
and those kindly deeds done that dried
the tear from the orphans eye, and that
fed the hungry in the hour of need.
These are the leaves that he wove, ard
he himself having woven leaves of heal
ing, leaves of gladness, leaves of sun
shine, leaves of helpfulness and cheer
into other lives, these leaves, bright, re-.
splendent and glorious will all be gather
ed again and woven into that crown
that shall adorn his brow forever. For
inasmuch as We did it unto one of these,
even the least of these my brethren, We
did it unto me- -
On Sunday after the funeral services
which were conducted by Rev. }. A.
Shockey, the friends and relatives of
the deceased passed the beautiful
casket in which the deceased lay, his
face lit up with an expression of heaven
ly peace and rest, after which his four
brothers, Chas. A. Ashby of Deer Park.
Ralph T. Ashby and j. Frank Ashby
of Crellin, VIM. C.. Ashby of Corinth,
w. Va, and his two nephews Jesse J.
Ashby and Stanley Ashby, of Crellin,
tenderly bore him to the home cemetery.
At the cemetery undertakers Rollman
and Son placed the casket in a steel
vault and all that was mortal of Thomas
W. Ashby our friend, was tenderly laid
to rest.
Mr.. Ashby had reached the age of 90
years, on the 8th day of last June. He
leaves widow Hannah S. Ashby to
mourn him, and for whom he will
longlngly and lovingly wait on the
banks of the Elysian shore.

KANSAS WEDDING CEREMONY.
Justice Committed Couple Until Fees
and Costs Were Paid.

A record of an unique early dav mar
rage ceremony in Kansas was found
few days ago among some old documents
in the probate judges Office at the court
house. In the late SOS Squire"
Arlington, of the first settlers in the
county. widely known and we'll liked,
was elected justice of the peace. He
had very little hook learning, and not
much knowledge of law, but he was a
rough and ready orator of parts, and
when couple appeared at his office to
be married, he was equal to the
emergency, although he never before
had married a couple and had no form
of procedure to go by. Quite crowd
came with the bride and groom. and
one of them took down the ceremony as
the judge said it.
After all the preliminaries had been
arranged, Squire Arlington lined the
bride and groom, Amos Peabody and
Amanda Thomas. and their witnesses
up before him and said:
Fellow Citizens This here man and
this here woman have appeared before
this court to be hitched IN the legal
bonds of wedlock. If any galoot in the
mob knows of anything that might block
the game if took to higher court, let
him toot his bazoo or else keep his jaw
to himself now and forevermore. All
in favor of my proceeding as authorized
by law, say T. contrary No Nobody
said No. and the motion is carried
unanimously, and the court rules there
is nothing to prevent the trying of the
case.
"Now Ito the couple) grip your fins.
The couple joined hands,. Amos
Peabody do you solemnly swear that
you'll freeze to Mandy forever and
provide for her and treat her square and
white according to the rules and regula-
tons set down to govern such cases in
the laws of the United States, so help
you God?"
Yes, sir, | do. Amos said.
That fixes YOU end of the bargain
Mandy Thomas, do you solemny swear
that you'll hang to Amos for all coming
time; that you'll nurse him in sickness
and be square with him in wellness;
that you Il always be to him good, true,
honest, up and up wife. under the
penalties prescribed for such offenses?'
Il swear | WILL" the bride replied.
Then bv the power vested in me as
justice of the peace in and for Morris
county, state of Kansas, l, John Apling-
ton, pronounce you Amos Peabody,
husband, and you, Mandy Thomas. wife,
and legalize you to remain such now
and forever more, and stand committed
until the fees and costs in the cases are
paid in full and God have mercy on your
souls"

This Years Crop Very Valuable.

1t not infrequently happens that COM
parative small crops sell for more
money in the aggregate than very large
ones. Last years great crop, much
exceeding any previous one, was worth
a good deal less than crops of several
preceding years when production was
considerably smaller. The most valu-
able corn crop. prior to this year, from
the money point of view, was that of
1909, when the production was salts
factory but not abnormal. This years
sub-normal crop will be worth a good
deal more than last years and will
probably somewhat exceed in value the
1909 crop. 1t will be the smallest in
more than decade, but in all likelihood
the most valuable ever produced.
