MRS.

P. GARTIN. By Rev. Edward H. Bull.

Early Wednesday morning of last week the sad news was flashed to the relatives that Isabella Gar-tin, wife of W. P. Gartin, had died that morning about 4:30 o'clock. She had been an invalid for something like seven years with rheumatism, and was under treatment in a Kansas City sanatarium when she was stricken down by cholera morbus Sunday morning; and three paid no particular attention to the Darlington Lodge, No. 161, matter.

As daylight came on, how tetter from Dr. G. H. Barbour, whose term at Jefferson City will shortly ex pire. Barbour writes that he is looking forward with great anxiety to the end of bis 80 more days, as be is eager to see his family and friends.

Ht writes that he has a splendid position for tbe practice of his profession, being in the hospital, where he has the very best experience in surgery and thinks it will be of great benefit to him. He mentions the fact that while others may not learn a lesson from the same experience, for himself he has learned tbe value of money, how to govern bis temper and his tongue. He does not know where he will locate. Hisfriends will wish him well, and above all will hope that in future he will shun liquor as be would a snake. Barbour was all right when he was sober, and all wrong when under the influeuce of liquor.

Lewis Briant came with his family to Missouri in tbe year 1893 and settled in Gentry county, where he continued to live until his death.
