ly. He has been detained at
home by the circumstances of
the death Of Mr.. Applegate and
will be unable to leave for a few
days longer. To a reporter Judge
Rucker expressed perfect salts

his record and no criticism,
above the surface at least. The

He loved home and family above

dear to every true man. He
never tried to hurt, but always
to help. He loved truth and
abounded in charity to all man.
kind except palpable shams.
His ear was quick to note the
distress and Affections of others
and his hand and heart always
ready to their alienation. Mod
esty was his crowning virtue.
His acts of kindness and chari-
ty were legion, yet his closest
associates never heard him re-
fer to them. He was possessed
of character and disposition
which loved the right and spurn-
ed the wrong, and throughout
his entire life he priced this as
his highest and most valuable
heritage. His affection for the
boys of his acquaintance was
marked and many a young man in
this community will always re-
member the wholesome, benign
and elevating influence of Dad
dy" Applegate. The boys knew
him as their companion and friend
and his advice to them by ex-
ample and precept was: BE
manly, fearless. straightforward
and honest.
Since earliest boyhood the SEN
iOr editor has known Mr.. Apple
gate and more than once been
the recipient of his kindly advice
and helping hand, and in observ-
ing his life, methods and candor
we have often been reminded Of
the lines:
"Howe'er it be, it seems to me
'Tis only noble to be good;
Kind hearts are more than coro-
nets
And simple faiththan Norman
