He said that at this early date letters
were coming to Mr.. Farris' by the
hundreds from people all over the
State who know him personally, as
suring him of their support. He said
further that there are now three
counties which are practically solid
for him, and these are the three

They are Laclede County, the home
of his birth, Crawford County, where
he practiced law and which he
represented in both the Senate and
the House of Representatives, and
Phelps County, where Mr.. Farris now
lives. This, he said, was the strong

tt was with profound sorrow that
we learned of the death of our friend,
Monroe Black, who was recently
killed by the cars at the railroad
crossing, near the Ironton depot.
We have known Monroe since hi 8
boyhood days when he lived not far
from Goodland, this county. It was
in the year 1884, we remember, that
he attended the writer's school in
the West end of Iron County. We
were both boys there, but since that
time we have had business transac-
tions with him, and have always
found him perfectly honest, truthful,
and conscientious. Hence, through
his death, Iron County has lost a
valuable citizen, simply because the
Rail Road Company persists in
running the trains too rapidly when
going through towns and by danger
Gus crossings.
carelessness may be stopped? II
not, then steps should at once be
taken to compel all trains to slow
down to stsafety- first" speed when
going through towns or by dangerous
crossings. +.

Virgil TolIeson.
(Farmingtou News.)


The News joins the entire county in
extending deepest sympathy to Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. r. Tolleson, of Lead
wood, in the great loss which they
have sustained this week in the
death of their only boy, Virgil, aged
IL years, which occurred Tuesday
morning after an illness of infue MA
of only few hours. He had been
in his usual health until Monday
afternoon when he came home from
school complaining of a headache.
Very little was thought of it, how
ever, until later in the evening when
he grew rapidly much worse.
Medical aid was summoned and
every effort was made to save the
lads life, but at II O'Clock the next
morning, his young spirit passed out
and back to its Master. He was a
bright, manly lad and his untimely
death is, indeed, great loss.
Funeral services were held at
Leadwood yesterday, interment oc-
curing at Bonne Terre.
The grief stricken parents and sis
ters, Adele and Gladys, have the
sympathy of all in their great be-
reavemeIt.

James E. Doty's New Work.
Cotton, California, Information.l

Cotton, California, Information.l
At the annual meeting of the
Northern Baptist Convention held in.
Denver last June, it was decided by
the American Baptist Publication
Society to appoint Bible. Field Workers
to labor among the foreign speaking
people of America. The duties Of
such workers are many, viz: Visit
every hons in their district, carrying
tracts, Bibles, Testaments and books;
cheer the sick, help the needy, ETC.;
if people are not able to buy a Bible
or Testament, to give one free; to as
sist pastors of both English speaking
churches and foreign as much as
possible; in fact, as one man said, to
be a true "Sky. Pilot" to all with
whom you come in contact. One of
Colton's former citizens, James E.
Doty, was appointed the first of last
September to work among the Spanish
speaking people, his district compris-
ing all of Southern California. The
Publication Society has furnished
him with Ford, and he goes from
place to place, staying until COM
munity is covered. He has had many
| wonderful experiences and, with one
exception, 80 far, has been gladly re-
ceived into the homes of the people.
Not one cent of profit from the sale
of books or Bibles goes to him or the
society, but it is used to print more
Bibles, Testaments and tracts to be
given awey to the destitute. Jim's
idea is that to "Amerieanize the
foreigners is right and needful, but
to make it christian Americanation'
| is the best"
One of the best equipped Spanish
Missions in California has just been
completed and dedicated in Corona.
This was made possible by the First
Baptist Church of that city, whose
heroic efforts were aided and abetted
by all the other denominations in
Corona. 1t is stated that Cotton will
also soon have Spanish Mission that
will be credit to it's citizens. Rev.
| Cordova, who until about two years
ago was professor in one of the
largest colleges in Mexico, is the
pastor.
