= Mrs. Katie Prettyman, wife of MOI
] man E. Prettyman, prominent mel
= chant of this place, who died a
, their home here Sunday night, age
80 years. 1t seems sad that one S
young should be taken away. Sh
p had everything to live for, a happ
home, a kind and loving husband,
bright manly boy, a devoted sister
and a host of relatives and friend
who will sadly miss her. But HI
Who rules all things decreed other
wise. Mrs. Prettyman stood high il
social circles of which she was {
prominent member. She was an ac
tive member of both the Ladies Aid
and the Sunday school and had been
a member of the NJ. E. Church since
childhood. She was one of those
large hearted generous women
whose place it will be hard to fill
A good woman has gone from among
us. Death loves a shining mark.
Her funeral was conducted at her
late home by her pastor, Rev. A.
Travers, on Wednesday, November
5th at p. m. Interment at Red
Mems cemetery. S. J. Wilson and
Son, funeral directors.
At this writing (Tuesday p. m.)
there is an air of uncertainty per-
meating the political situation, both
in National and State affairs. No one
seems to know which way the pen
dulum will swing Both parties,-
Democrats and Republicans, are
hoping that victory will come their
way. While the followers of La Fol-
lette say that neither of the old par
ties can win. We are persuaded to
believe that which ever way the con-,
test may be decided that the Amer
lean people are patriotic enough to
submit to the verdict, as rendered
at the polls. That if any one of the
candidates for President of the
United States shall be elected, we
will still be able to eXclaim, "That
God reigns and the government at
Washington still lives, and will con-
tinue to live"
