Quin's Good Measure.

One of our subscribers who is
a trucker here calls our attention
to a bill introduced in congress
by Representative P. G. Qain,
which If enacted into law will
eventually mean much for the
trucking industry all over the
country. The bill in question
seeks to create a Bureau Of Mar
kets to be connected with the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
which will have for its functions
among other things the giving
Of valuable information to the
producers relative to the mar
ket conditions over the country,
and in every way to assist the
producer in marketing his crops
advantageously and to prevent
him from being Systematically
robbed by brokers as has been
the custom for years. Con-
gresham Quin, if he gets the
measure through Cogress, will
have endeared himself to the
producing class in a way that
will keep him a figure on the po-
litical map as long as he sees fit
to stay there. Osyka Herald.

In MEMORIAM

= lVlOI al Q. ~ v CLOCK, ll6 an
gel of death visited the home of
sister q. G. Causey, sounded the
solemn notes that betokened the
dissolution Of her Earthly taber-
nacle, and summoned her spirit
to the land of the blessed.
Her body rests with the un-
numbered dead; her soul is in
that land OF peace, which the
world can not give, admonishing
US to "seek the narrow path and
the straight gate which lead into
eternal life. +"
Sister Causey was born July
28th, 1888. In early life she ac
cepted Jesus Christ as her Savior
and united with the Baptist
Church, living consistant chris
tian. For more than one half
century. She loved and labored
for Christ with inAexible fidelity.
In June, 1858, she was mar
ried to Ransom ]. Causey, with
whom she walked for 80 year. S
To this union were born ten
children, six sons and 4 daugh-
ters, all living except one son,
Harry, who died in 1884.
She was a devoted wife,a good
neighbor, a allowing and indulgent
mother.
In her sickness and suffering
she exemplifed degree Of chris
tian fortitude, seldom equaled
by any one. Being conscious of
the approaching crisis, she ex-
pressed a readiness and willing
ness to g, and,' welcoming the
messenger, she fell asleep in trl-
umph OF the christian faith.
Her children were her princi-
pie nurses, her step children
helping, also. Her five sons
were the pail bearers, who carri-
ed her remains from the resi-
dence to the cemetery aud laid
her body in the grave. Beside
her children, she leaves several
step children, and great host
Of other friends and relatives to
mourn their loss, which is her
eternal gain. The great esteem
in which she was held as a chris
tian lady and nelghbor, was at
tested by the many attending the
funeral, which was conducted
by the writer, May the Lord
bless and comfort the bereaved
ones, and sanctify the death OF
this good mother and friend to
their spiritual good.
"Sister, thou art gone to the
grave, but 'twere wrong to deplore
thee; when God was thy ransom
thy guardian and guide;
He gave thee, and took, and
soon W i'll restore thee where death
has 40 sting, since the Savior has
died.

Quin Speaks on Mine Strike

A resolution was introduced in
Congress to investigate the coal
mine strike. Read Quin's talk.
Mr.. Quin. Mr.. Speaker, | Ger
tainly favor this resolution. |
was in Trinidad when that strike
started, when the men working
in the mines first walked out. !
was in Colorado Springs and
Denver when the governor Of
the Slate Of Colorado called out
the troops because Of the insur-
rection about the mines near
Trinidad.
Of course this question has
two sides to it, but if those min
ers, the men who dig the coal
out of the mines, told me the
truth, then they have some
rights which ought to be protect
ed. Those men stated that one
of their grievances was that the
coal-mine owners, the corpora
tions running the mines, had a
weigher whom they believed was
not giving them justice. In
other words, they thought they
had to get out $500 pounds of
coal to call it a ton, and they
wanted to pay out of their own
funds weiger to stand by and
see that fhey received just and
honest weight. If those men
have rights, Congress ought to
help them assert their rights. If
the owners of the mines have
rights, Congress ought to know
1t, and see that they get justice.
1t was commonly talked in Col
orado that the corporations own
ing the mines had raised the
price of coal 81 a ton since tb
strike. Is it right for the peo-
pie to be held up in this rnan-
ner?
| can not see any harm on
earth that this resolution could
do. l know something about
labor troubles. | live in a town
where there was a strike which
lasted for several months, where
we had almost regiment Of SOL
diers for several months during
last fall aud winter up until
spring, and l say if Congress
had taken up that matter | be-
lieve it would have been the pest
thing for the workers and the
railroad corporation in that town
and for all the citizens of it. II
believe in my heart that this
committee ought to investigate
the conditions there, and that a
report should be made to this
body, in order that the Ameri-
can people may be made aware
Of all the facts snd details con-
cerning this coal strike. IknoS
i is hard for the poor working
men to get their rights, and this
House aught to help them.

H Barney was made president,
w. D. Johns, vice-president and
N. B. Mclean, chashier; these
three being the sole stock hold
ers. The bank at once gained
the confidence Of the people and
enjoyed profitable business
from the start, aud the Quarterly
statements showed that the bank
was making money. The owners
having other businesses were not
forced to draw Oh the banks earn
ings, so no dividends were de-
clared, all tie earnings being
passed to the surplus fund to en-
large the working capital of the
bauk. In 1898 the then Bank
Of Gloster retired from business,
tue Commercial Bank soon there
after, amended its charter and
changed its name to the Bank OF
Gloster. After few years the
earnings Of tie bank had increas
ed the surplus fund to an amount
which enabled the bank to double
its capital stock making it $50, :
900, this gave it greater prestige
in banking circles and for years
it was regarded as one Of the
strongest country banks Of the
state, making handsome profits,
Whish all passed to the surplus
funds to increase the working
capital. When the boil weevil
came the bank had out large
loans, many of which proved
bad investments, the bank loss
ing heavy thereby, this with the
general depression hurt the bank
but with all this, it is believed
they could have safely pulled
through had it not been for many
failures of ether banks in neal
by sections, which gave the de.
positors feeling Of unrest caus
ing them to constantly withdraw
their deposits, until the amount
on deposit was reduced from
$147 900 to some $4,000 in less
than twelve months. A big par
OF the bank S securities being or
land, which as a basis OF value
at this time is very low, it was
impossible to raise funds to NEE
the heavy Withdrawals. AT thC
close of business Friday tht
officers saw that the bank wa'
doomed unless some unforseer
aid came, and the Cashier was
instructed to keep all deposit
made Saturday separate that i
may be returned should the fail
ure come. After Saturday it wa
plain that a receiver would hav'
to be asked for, although the as
sets did es ceed the Iiabilitie
more than two to one.
The failure of this bank is thI
most serious blow that has eve
struck Gloster, besides the hard
ship on the depositors, it mean
the passing of an institution
which has been of untold benef
to this section. No bank had
more accommodating and obhginl
set OF officers than this bank
who were always ready and anx
ious to extend aid 10 any worth,
applicant, and out Of the mist o
the failure no finger of scolr
can be pointed at them for any
dishonest act, the bank was thei
pride, and SO anxious were the,
to make it strong financial in
stitution that very little of thr
earnings were ever used for theil
private use, hut was used to ado
