DR.. H J. Beard who has been locat-

so faithfully described as to his life,

| nh fria l. 6,
for me to do except reitorate what they
have said; In private life his qualities
were sociability, kindness and gener-
Gus spirit. In professional and business
life he was broad minded man with
fine natural common sense; man OF
positive opinions and firm conviction Us
yet he was willing. unless some vita
principle was involved, to consider
what he thought might be the soupdei
judgement of his friends.
The records of DR.. Boards practice
bear ample testimony to his capacity fol
work and his disposition to discharge
his duty. To him, as to every one
came the call to citizenship; and hi
civic pride and active interest in al
movements that go to the bettermen
of town, county and state speak o.
his conscientious work and willingness.
to bear his full share OF the burdens O
the community. He figured promine ut

the past five years has been chairma

The good people of Livermore an,
neighboring community speak on on

own more easily and more economi-
cally in Delaware than in any other
State. Only Missouri surpassed Della

pies per capita. The per capita Of Mis-
souri, is four and half bushels and
Delaware is two and a quarter The
