atives.
Just afternoon Friday Mrs. Mon
roe Gorrell was stricken with apo
plexy, passing away at 4 o'clock the
same afternoon. Kate Jane Rogers,
second daughter of John and Amer
lea Rogers, was born May 1, 1866.
She united with the Primitive Bap-
fist, called Berea, in 1891, remaining
a consistent member until death.
She was married to Monroe Gorrell
in February, 1900. After an i'm
pressive discourse by Rev. John
Kerr, from Psalms 46:1O, of Perry,
her remains were laid to rest in the
burying ground at Berea followed by
large concourse of friends. Her
six nephews acted as pallbearers.
Mrs. GOrrell will be sadly missed in
the community, her home andin her
church. She is survived by herpar-
ents, one sister, four brothers, her
husband and an adopted son. We ex-
tend sympathy to the family. Bert
Rogers and wife of Madison and
Guy Rogers of Indiana, Mrs. Hay
wood McAdams of Moberly and Har-
ry Gorrell of Crocker attended the
funeral.

The Paris Appeal puts it this way,
and we commend the advice to a
numeber OF bubbles OF Mexico:
To themarred man who cannot get
along without his drinks we suggest
the following as a solution to the
bondage of his habit: First, start
saloon in your own house. Second,
be the only customer; you will have
no license to pay. Give your wife 81
to buy a gallon of whiskey. Third,
buy your drinks from no one but
your wife and by the time the first
gallon is gone she will have SO to
put in the bank and 50 to start bus
mess again. Fourth, should you live
ten years and continue to buy booze
from her, and then die with snakes
in your boots she will have money to
bury you decently, educate your chill
dren, buy a house and lot, marry a
decent man, and quit thinking about
you.

Marshall got up a petition last week
signed by many of our citizens ask
ing that the bell be shipped over
1.-The Only Way" from Chicago to

stopped long enough in Mexico to
give everybody an opportunity to see
the old relic.

In Missouri where they raise more
mules and children than any other
place in the world a certain resident
died possessed of II mules and three
sons. In his will he disposed of the
mules as follows: One-half to the
eldest son; one-third to the next
and one-ninth to the youngest. The
administrator, who went to divide
the property drove a span of mules
out to the farm, but when he went to
divide the II into halves thirds and
ninths he found it was impossible
with live mules. Mules not being
very valuable he unhitched one of
his own, putting it with the other II
making IS, which he proceeded to
divide as follows: One-half or nine
to the eldest son; one-third or six
to the next son, and one-ninth or
two to to the youngest. Adding up
nine, six, two, he found that itmade
II, so he hitched I'D his mule and
went home rejoicing.

The Auxvasse Review tells of two
boys OF that place who, some time
since, came to Mexico to attend a
circus and see the elephant. Some of
the Mexico boys managed to get the
two Auxvasse boys a chance to ride
on the big elephant. Would they
ride? They were tickled to get the
opportunity. Then they got on top
of the pachyderm by the aid of
step ladder and made a pretty pic
ture on top of the big beast in their
wide brimmed straw hats and white
linen suits. Oh, Joy! The big brute
seemed to understand that he was
expected to entertain the future
county court judges of Galloway, so
he paced along with a devil-may-care
air, sticking the end of his trunk in
the dust and drawing it up, then
blowing the dust and other foreign
substance of the much travelled road
all over the boys. The attendant was
taking the animal down to Salt River
for swim, and the boys were going
along to see the fun. When the big
fellow got into the water he was over
joyed. He ran his trunk into the
cooling waters and, elevating it,,
blew the spray all over the dusty
boys. They did not know how to
talk to the elephant and the keeper
did not seem to notice that they were
getting the worst of the trip, they
had no ladder to get down, so they
had to take what came. The boy in
front, naturally, lodged once in a
while so that they both got a good
soaking, then going back to the cir
Gus ground the elephant took up his
dust treatment. The Review fails
to say whether or not the boys thank
ed the keeperfor the great privilege
of riding on top of the descendent of
the mastodon, but one of the boys
got licking for having his clothes
spoiled, just because his mother
could not understand a boys ambi-
ton and the elephants ways. The
boys have grown up to manhood,
one has gone over the Great Divide,
but the other is the present secre-
tary of the Vandalia commercial
club and his name is Ashby Jones.
