REV. LEWIS B. TABOR
PASSED AWAY

Lewis B. Tabor was born in
Wayne County, Kentucky, November
25, 1887. Died December L, 1916
being 70 years and six days old.
He was a student of Scripture
from seven years of age and was
converted and joined the NJ. e
Church, at the early age of eleven.
He was a member of this church
for many years and was ordained
in their ministry. In 1892 he u
nited with the Baptist Church and
was ordained and preached in that
church also, but he worked for
Christ and not for church
He was educated at Creelsboro
Kentucky, and was a teacher in the
common school at the age of sew
enteen, and principal in the High
School at twenty-one. After grad
uating from College he studied both
medicine and law. He was three
years in the Union Army in Co.
c. First Kentucky Cavalry under
Colonel Wolford
In 1858 he was united in mar
riage with Rebecca Angeline Piehct
To this union was born seven
children, five OF whom died in in-
fancy After the death OF his first
wife he was again married, this
time to Eliza Ann Murphy. To
this union was born one daughter.
Mr.. Tabor moved to Guthrie
County, Iowa, in 1869, and in this
and adjoining Counties most of
his ministerial work and much of
his school olteaching was done. In
all he taught SO terms. He OBJ
tanned certificates in other states
beside Iowa. One of his certlfi-
Gates had unusual grades on it. in
each and every subject he re-
ceived 100 per cent.

share of this public patronage. 1t
cam be truthfully said to their
credit that they have never allowed
the court house at Audubon to be-
come a private pork barrel.
Duuing the past two years, the
party in power has taken no such
view. 1T has run the court house
in the interests of democrats only
so far as the awarding of tbis
public business is concerned An
air-tight boycott against all others
than themselves has been rigidly
maintained. There have even been
no cores OF the democratic ap7
pies nor any crumbs from their
tables for anyone else.
In other words the spoils system,
with all its repulsiye features, has
been in operation in Audubon
County during the past two years.
Perhaps the issue should have
been raised before election. AT
that tine, however, it would have
reacted against some worthy and
upright men who Wore in no
S nse respo. .sinle fer the mistaken
course that has been followed by
their party. Now it is different.
There is ample time to alter pal
ty policies and to "change front
generally before another election
comes. In view of the record of
the past four years, unless some
thing of this kind is done, the
supror of those independent vot-
ers, who hold that public bMsine IS
should not be operated simply for
private benefit, will be hard to
get in the future; and it is cer-
tain that this class of voters cas-
lily holds the balance of power in
Audubon County. Whoever doubts
this important fact has only to ex-
anime the taAulated returns on
the last four or five general cleo
tions.

kind husband, a careful loving
father, a true friend and an o.

his religion never to turn tramp

lover Of Chi .d1en and took a faith

He is survived ty a wife, three
