To Mother"

~ 6aANAN&e
She left us July 18th, 1914,
just at the age of eighty-five
years and three months. She was
BORN in Tennessee in 1929, and
ame with her parents, Fredric
and Sallie Fulkerson, to Missouri
when but one year old, and has
ever since (for eighty-four years.
been a resident of Lafayette
county, with exception of a brief
leriod before her marriage,
with her eldest brother, DR.. Mon
roe Fulkerson, then Of johnson
County, Missouri. She was
marriel to Lynn Boyd Gordon,
February Goth, 1876. They lived
for fifty-five years on their
homestead, seven miles from
Lexington, where their family of
children were all born and rear
ed. Thirty years of her widow
hood were spent at her home
place in Lexington; where she
died. The last thirteen years
Of that time were lived with Mrs.
Ella White, one of her daughters.
Mother was the last member Of
her generation of the Fulker-
sons. 1t is sad indeed to give
her up, to be separated from
"even the temple" in which her
soul" dwelt. No mother was
more loving, loyal and true to
her Savior, her children and
family, and all humanity than
she. Who-was the embodiment
Of the virtues, that constitute a
pure, sweet Christian character
always thankful, kind, con-
siderate and appreciatiye, for
everything that was done for
her comfort and pleasure-ever
ready to respond with a bright
smile and sweet expression of
the countenance.
A patient sufferer, a trust
ing Christian, a dear good moth
er is gone from our earthly
midst, to her Heavenly" home
to Him" who gave her precious
life to earth.
SO now a new and beautiful
day has dawned for her pure
''soul'' that for which she has
lOnged. Oftentimes saying
here was no regret except the
separation from her children
which would not be long.
And now that the evening
shades Of her life are past. She
rests in perfect peace and calm.

But of this we can be req sonably sure and that is that the gre,t coastwise syndicates are urging free tells through their senators that such policy would violate the Hay Pauncefote treaty with England and tie claim Is made by senators. tha, they are influenced in their attitude by question of honor. This high sense of honor of senators upon the enc side and the patriotic defense of the dear people on the other raises the suspicion that these very same pa Il otic and super honorable senators are representing two separate and an tagonistic corporate interests whicr are kept in the back ground whi's they attempt by patriotic speech as rain their point.
