NOBLE WOMAN
is NO MORE
Mrs. Matte VanDeveer Kirby Dies
Tuesday Morning After Short
Illness-Funeral Thursday.

Mrs. Matte VanDeveer Kirby died
at o'clock this, Tuesday morning,
after an illness of a week. She had
been in very feeble health for some
time, the result of a severe spell of
grip, and contracted a cold which
went into pneumonia. This did it's
deadly work in hurry and took
from the scenes Of earth one of STAN
ford's most excellent women.
Mrs. Kirby was born in 1869 and
most all Of her life had been spent
in Stanford, where everybody knew
and loved her. She was the second
daughter of the late D. W. Vande-
veer, for years merchant of this
city and its mayor for several terms.
Her mother was Miss Matte Luns-
ford, also long since gone to rest.
She is survived by one sister Mrs. w.
E. Varnon, of Asheville, N. C. who
was with her when the final summons
came. When her last illness began,
she asked that she be taken to DR..
Browns home on the hill, where she
thought she would find quietude, the
noise of the street annoying her. 1t
is not believed that she thought her
illness serious, for had she, she
would have remained in the room of
the house she had so frequently said
she wanted to die in. But man pro-
poses and God in His inscrutable wis
dom disposes and the end came-in
DIR. E. j. Browns home.
Ever since Mrs Kirby was child,
she had been a Christian and a de-
vout member of the Christian church
and she attended the services of the
Stanford church just as long as her
health would permit. She took much
interest in church work and often
did more than her feeble body we'll
She will be missed in her
church work, in her home, as neigh
Dor and as friend and the news of
her death will carry sorrow to all who
knew her. Mrs. Permelia Brown, who
lived neighbor to Mrs. Kirby for 35
years, said to an l. j. representative
this morning: 81 have lost my best
friend. Matte Kirby was heightened
and honorable, she was just, true and
good and will miss her probably
more than anybody. Only a few
weeks ago she said to me: 4 will die
before you do, but l know l am 60
ing to meet you later and that will
be glory for me- She bore her pains |
and troubles with wonderful forti- |
tude and was at all times cheerful
and bright. 1t saddens my heart to
think | will never see her no more |
until our meeting beyond the Skies"
she continued.
Mrs. Kirby was devoted to both of |
her sisters children, Thomas and |
Miss Martha Varnon, but more so to |
the latter and to her she left all of |
her worldly possessions. Miss Var
non visited her aunt here last year.
The two were inseparable and their |
devotion was beautiful to behold.
The funeral services will be held
at the home on East Main street at
10 a. M, Thursday conducted by
DR.. D. M. Walker and assisted by
Ed. Joseph Ballou. The burial will

MISS MINNIE YOUNG NO MORE

Miss Minnie Young, aged % years,
died at the home of her father,
Green Young at Highland, Thursday.
June 18th after lengthy illness and
after funeral services conducted by
Mr.. j. C. MeClary, of this city, on
Friday, the mortal remains of this
splendid young woman were inter-
red in the Mt. Moriah cemetery. For
a number of years, Miss Young had
been a member of the Mt. Moriah
Methodist church, and her faith grew
brighter as she saw the end ap-
preaching. Her testimony to her
friends was convincingly beautiful
and she leaves behind her a splendid
example to her friends and loved
ones who have the sympathy of all in
their hour of bereavement.

LANCASTER COURT.

Garrard county farmers were too
busy cutting wheat to attend court
at Lancaster Monday, and as result
the crowd was small and business
generally was quiet. There wasn't
d hoof of cattle on the market and
mules and horsese were a scarcity. A
few hybrids changed hands at $3.50
to S13S, and several horses were
purchased for war purposes at $50
to $127.50 and that was the extent
of business transacted. Neither of
the Congressional candidates glad
dened the dear people with his pres
ence, but friends of both Messrs.
Helm and Montgomery were on hand
to sing their praises. 1t was too
hot to talk much politics, however,
and the boosters were not in all cases
given a welcome hearing.

illiteracy work, Mrs. Kelly had her
money in hand. She sent it to Mrs.
Morris Bartlett, Chairman of the
Committee of One Hundred,
with the cheerful words, 81 also have
$4,000 on my second Hundred" If
the other ninety-nine members of
this Committee are anything like
Mrs. Kelly, great things will go down
in history for valiant services in

Bilious Attacks

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its funct-
ions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere

He says that Clifton is one of the most interesting mining camps in the world not only for it's mineral wealth and geological formation, but also for the singuar beauty of it's natural scenery and excellent climate and al so for abundant remains of prehistor ic occupation. MT. Barnes said that he regarded a visit to Clifton as a point of interest to tourists a very attractive side trip and that Southern Pacific intended advertising it is such. MT.

LACK OF CHURCH ACTIVITY
(Contrihuted hy

Uy Lay J
 Surprise has often been expressed five churches in this district. The remark has been made that from their activities you might never know they existed. This state of affairs is, alas, too true. On any Sunday morn ing, there are not more than thirty men attend all the protestant chur- ches in this district. Those who do attend are not considered by their fellows to be at least our best and most influential citizens. A sad com mentary on the life and death of Christ. Why God in his heaven must laugh when he sees men ignoring him, and going their. daily round with ! oCt even giving him 3, thought. That we men should be so blind to our own ultimate good should give us pause. God is: His Church exists. Surely His Church stands for something to men when passing through this earthly life. If it does, why do not men support it? Benevolent orders, Secret Societies, flourish. They evi, dently offer something tangible, but the church of God-well, God is so far away, and time enough tomorrow. which may never come. 7
 That such conditions exist is really a cause for wonder ,as it need mot be stated here to what extent this Nation is indebted to the Christian religion for the advantages-taken now as matter of course-whieh it pos sesses Perhaps one of the reasons for the indifference towards the church is the somewhat common belief that it is really a place for feebleminded men, and old women. A moments con- sideration should convince one that such is not the case-rather that the church is an Institution that can use strong men, men of large vision, and noble women. Here are some of the things the Church stands for: .;i
 i $ It stands for human liberty; for justice between man and man., as opposed to the old doctrine. of Might is Right; for law and order and the protection of life and property, as opposed to anarchy; for the home and he home life; for the ehild,r for his education and training; for human progress and the betterment of man. kind. The best things we have we directly or indirectly we owe to the church. The church stands for clean living, for healh and happiness, fol peace, for honor between man and man, and all that is best in life.
 With all its evident advantages that men should ignore and fail to sup port the church, requires some ex
 plantation. What is it2

ANOTHER OLD TIMER CALLED
Bob Wilson Passes Away In FL Paso Last Week..

The many friends of Robert Will son will be grieved to learn of his death which occurred in Fl Paso, Texas on the seventeenth of March. The deceased was born at Zephyr, Texas, on December 29, 1870, but hav- ing left home when a mere boy, he came to Arizona, since which time he has followed the life of a cowboy. For many years he was engaged in the cattle business on Black River, the ranch being the well known Ten of Diamonds, and the firm being Cromb and Wilson. By his untir- ing energy, pluck and industry, he made this ranch one of the finest in that portion of Arizona. Three years past he was stricken with lukernia, an incurable disease, and as his hleath began to fail he sold his ranch to the Double Circle Cattle Co.,, since which time he has been under the care of the best specialists of Chicago, Los Angeles, and lastly Ell Paso, where he has resided for
 he past twelve months.
 His last illness covered a period Of three weeks in which his suffering was intense and his patience and resignation to his fate was a marvel to the attending physicians.
 Bob" as he was familiarly known will be missed by many of his old time associates of the COW camp and more than one COW boy will remem- Der the many kindnesses and favors which characterized his life.
 He was a staunch Democrat and a Southerner for in him ran some of the best blood of .'old Virginia. He is survived by mother, four brothers and two sisters who came to Fl Paso at the end and who took the remains back to Zephyr, Texas, where he was inferred in the old family burying ground.
