of which she became member IN Jsl ,
uary, 1909 under the pastorate OF hes;
O. S. Thomas and was pap'iAeo
On december 25th. 1915, she was

Marjorie I. and Phyllis M. she was d
true and loving wife and noble mother
unto the end. ~
Mary had been sick since Ssd Ea a,nt,1
Monday. May 3rd, and she gradually pc
came worse. Her condition became
such that she was taken to the Rela
Memorial hospital where VIE ,aa shs o'e0
At the time of her death she was
% years months and days old. she
leaves her husband. two little girls d
Kate of Greenville. Ohio. three broth
ers Robert D. of Troy, O.. Oscar, OF
Chicago, and Glenn D., of Akron ONO,
besides numerous other relatives. Her
father preceded her in death about
eight years ago.
Mrs. Shaffer was woman that was
well liked by everyone with whom she
came in contact. None but good words
were spoken of her; as a neighbor who
was always willing to do something Tor
others. Her popularity is shown py
the numerous friends she mas IN Sreeh
vile and by the ones she made curing
her five years residence in Richmond.
It Is indeed sad that one so young
and who is so much needed here TO care
for her two little children had TO be
taken away. But it Is Gods Will and we
Will have to abide by it.
An abundance of sympathy Is ex-
tended to the grief-stricken husband,

oh, Thou, Who reignest enthroned in
light,
Whom heavenly hosts obey;
Creation, owns Thy boundless might;
Thou rulest with potent sway.
Humbled beneath Thy wondrous power
We at Thy footstool fall;
Thine be this conseCrated hour;
Thine be our lives, our all.
We take this means to thank all
neighbors and friends for the help and
and death of Mrs Shaffer. We also
wish to thank them for the many beau
tiful floral tributes.

The Democratic race has not en-

that ID accomplished. And the In
ference Is that, being = modest

alone and only for tho cAnse for
which he is working, the Nav Jar

il the latter showed svidAnces a

Strong st He0A
However, the sentiment for Can
which II beginning to b noticeable
here, proceeds not alone nom the
fact that he would appear to be
satisfactory on the liberalization
program which 20 many Of the
Democrats think will Be the out
come OF the prohibition eontro-
versy. It proceeds from the tact
that Cox has carried Ohio three
times and is still popular there.
And it, is very important for the
Democrats to select their candi-
dates with an eye to the big states
like Ohio. A presidential election
can be won by the Democrats with
the west and south and tho adj
ton Of Ohio.
Moreover, Governor Cox doesn't
bear the responsibility for acts
Wilsonian. Both Palmer and Nc
Adoo are part and parcel Of the
Wilson regime. In counting up the
resentment vote which any admin
istration in power for eight years
is bound to accumulate, the selec-
ton Of . candidate who would
stand on q record outside Of Wash

lightly disregarded. For II the
