OBITUARY
Galloway, Ohio.

Galloway, OHIO,
Death has come into our community
and taken from our midst one Of our
loved ones. Another home maker has
been called and another husband is
made to know what it means to walk
the way OF life without the cheer and
comfort afforded by the companion
ship OF a loving wife.
Martha Cyrus Owsley, daughter of
A. ]. and Arena Cyrus, was born in
West Virginia. August IA. 1857. She
was one of family of eleven children,
three Of whom preceded her to the life
beyond. In early life she united with
the Methodist Church. but later she
became member Of the United Bap-
tist Church. On May IL, 1889. she was
united in marriage with George w.
Owsley, and came to Ohio in 1892.
Though with no children of her own,
she became real mother to her hus-
bands children, Columbus and Eliza,
and grandson. Howard Cordell. The
children OF the family who preceded
her to the spirit land are Mrs. Salina
Thacker. who died in Arkansas; Mrs.
Ella Cordell, who died in Ohio. and
Henry Cyrus, who died in West Vir-
ginia. Her father and mother too pre-
ceded her to the spirit land.
After an illness Of about four weeks
duration, Mrs. owsley passed to her
reward from st. Francis hospital. Col
umbus, Ohio. Oct. S, 1921, being GA
years, months and 81 days Of age.
She is survived by her husband, three
brothers, ]. M. Cyrus of Louisa, KY,
G. L. Cyrus of Portsmouth, Ohio, Joe
Cyrus OF Louisa; also four sisters.
Mrs. Sarah McGinnis Jackson, Ohio,
Mrs. Nancy Chandler. West Virginia,
Mrs. Mollie Cordell. Wilbur, KY, Mrs.
Dollie Cordell, Galloway, Ohio.
Mrs. Owsley had a very definite
Christian experience and her friends
have no doubt as to her future, which
is very great comfort to them now
that she is gone. Her Christianity
was OF that kind that frightened her
own life. and thus frightened all the
| lives with whom she came in contact.
Being one of the eldest of the large
family she became much like mother
to the younger members and they think

complaining disposition fingers like ..
husband and her fathers family.
Mrs. Owsley truly carried out the
exhortations of the poet when he
wrote: so live that when thy summon
comes to join the innumerable caravan
that moves to the pale realms OF shade.
When each shall take his chamber in
silent halls Of death. Then go not like
the quarry stone at night scared to his
dungeon, but sustained and soothed By
an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down
to pleasant dreams" A FRIEND.

Weeks Trading Is Light;
Quiet Optimism Is Rule

NEW YORK, November 12.-Opera-
tions in the financial markets this
week were naturally much curtailed
in volume and scope in consequence
Of the observance of two holidays,
hut an undertone of quiet optimism
ruled.
This was especially noted in the
investment situation. many new do
mestic offerings, chiefly Of a munich
pal character, finding a. ready market
because of their attractive terms. The
recent spectacular rise in liberty
bonds, victory notes and many of the
foreign war issues, as well as dOmeS-
tic rails, sustained an irregular re-
yersal. however. selling for profits by
speculative interests giving momen-
tum to the reaction.
Advices bearing upon the general
Industrial and business situation were
encouraging in the main. The large
decrease of tonnage reported by the
United States Steel Corporation for
October suggested. however, a con-
tinuance of uncertain conditions in
that industry.
Further collapse of German ex-
change to a new low price was with
out serious effect on International
credits, although giving rise to fur
ther apprehension respecting Ges--
many's future payments. Announce
ment that the British government is
preparing to meet interest payments

was stablizing influence on sterling

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, November 12.-Brad-
streets weekly review of trade says:
1.-THE outstanding features in trade
and industry this week. aside from
the very general interruption to busi-
ness by holidays. have been a 1ivening
up of retail trade, due to cold weather.
and the disposition manifested by the
railways to come into the market for
cars, locomotives and rails. The bulk
of the improvement in retail buying
has been shown in the northern tier
Of states, the south rejecting little of
this. and, in addition. feeling the de-
pressing influences proceeding from a
further decline in the price Of cotton.
"For this latter development grow
ing belief in q larger than predicted
cotton crop Is mainly responsible.
While the south's great staple has
declined, the reverse has happened in
wheat. which, after breaking through
the dollar mark, has firmed up again.
1.-THE stock market has shown CON-
tinued strength, and bond dealings
are reported active the country over,
the lower earning power Of money
being the important influence in this
direction"
