Miss Mary Elizabeth Smith Is Dead.
Special to The Inielligrncer.
BELTON, April 1.--hiiss Bessie
Smith is dead! A feeling OF deepest
sorrow swept. over Bolton Wednes-
day afternoon when this sad an
nouncement was made. She had been
| i'll for months and had been SO brave
and patient through all of her suf-
ferings and had hooked forward to the
time when she should pass on into
the Great Beyond with so little dread,
in fact with so much Joy, that 1t
really seems wrong to grieve over
her going. But how can town fail
to mourn the loss OF q noble woman
like Miss Smith? She was noble IN
every respect. She was q mcst devot-
ed Christian from her childhood days,
having united with the Methodist
church in her early girlhood and she
has lived her life for the Lord In her
every walk In life. s.
For several years before her ILL.,
ness caused her to give up work, she
was deaconess In the cities of Phil
adelphia and st. Louis. holding q
! mission in the latter city supported
by the biggest church In the city.
Her health failed and they gave her
years leave of absence. but before
the year has ended she has passed
away.
She graduated from Winthrop Col
lego and after teaching there several
years attended Searritt Bible, and
Training school of Missouri. She
took a wonderful stand in her classes,
showing her Christian conscientious :
ness In her school work as she al
ways did In her life work. Her mem
tai capacity was shown by the sue
cess OF the delightful book "In Beth
any House" which she wrote in
lel2 and which is in its third edi,
tion and is being used as q mission
study book ell over our country. She
has hundreds OF unknown friends

A fire inside the home of DR.
Dudley Jones was unique incl
dent OF Monday. 1t originated in
side an armor, and as one of the
small members of the family had
been seen with a candle in her

the case points to her as the uncons-

of the half shut doors of the armor
He hastily closed and locked both;
but smoke oozed Justify through tho
cracks. Blankets were wet and
soon enveloped the hot piece of

told of internal trouble in the
physicians home. At length, after
attending neighbors and the DR..
realized they codld not pitch the
clothes receptacle through the small
window of the upstairs halfway
where 1T stood. the alarm was sent
in and the tire-extinguishers ac-

witness duplicates of the cremated

QUITS WORK ON GRAVEL ROADS.
Contractor Grenn Says He Has Too
Many Bosses Too Heavy Loads
Allowed en- the Roads.

Il you have room and time please
print the following statements il
your valuable paper:
lnasmuch as the Board of Super
vis5rs did not grant my monthly
pa5 OF January for the upkeep OF
the gravelroads and on account oi
the failure of enforcing the law on
limited loads going over the roads,
! was compelled to quit the work.
Gravel road work here is practi-
cally new and it seems that some
people have curious ideas about the
keeping up Of gravel roads. /
would like to explain a few. points
OF how to keep up gravel roads
from the. governments plan and
from my own observation, but that
would be a letter too long here.
! have kept the road up to the
satisfaction Of the commissioners
that have charge Of the road work.
In harmony with them my weekly
report to the commissioners will
show for every day what | have
done and | have had a good deal of
extra work to do, like cutting new
bitches, replacing washed off grav-
eI on low built roads and sodding
of the fills.
The sodding alone is worth more
to the roads than the whole amount
of what | have been paid, and let
me say this, ! don't mind working
under a Supervisor if he knows
his route but when it comes to
eight paid bosses that have no ex.
pefrence, to look over two mem S
work it seems to be a little too
much when one with little know
ledge about the work would be a
great deal better.

Grown in Lincoln County Man. Dis
tinguished as Salesman for
Pittsburg Steel Co.

Mr.. l.. P. Keeq, who travels for
the Pittsburg Steel Co., manu-
featuring concern of Pennsylvania,
has been detained at his home here
by illness several days this week.
In the midst of the depression
caused by the recent critical illness
of his wife's sister and then his
own indisposition. he was yet cheer
ed by the excellent record he learn
ed he had made as travelling agent
for his house.
Mr.. Kees was informed from the
Memphis office, of which he is a
representative. that he led every
man in the United States out of the
offices of the great Steel Company,
located at New York, Brunswick.
Ca, Dallas. St. Louis. Kansas City,
Duluth, and Memphis. and thai the
Memphis Office was the second best
among them all, our southern coun-
try thus winning out on two scores
Mr.. Kees' fine record is NOT
gratifying from a personal stand
point alone. but from the further
fact that hia territory along the
A. & v. read from Vicksburg to
Meridian and Mississippi, south Of
the road; also Louisiana, east Of
the Mississippi, brings the matter
of his success close home to this
vicinity.
Mr.. Kees states that January
was the best month since 1913 and
that his sale Of wire-fencing and
harbed wires as we'll as nails and
other steel products tell of the
capital among us and encourages
progress and development.
Mr.. KEGS has been with the Pitts
burg Steel Co nearly five years.
