A syndicate of gentle men would not be inclined to give that information. The question is asked, -where should the artesian well be bored?” At the most central point, where the whole public will be benefitted.

Consump- tion was the cause of her death. For several months she had been confined to her bed and day by day gradually grew weaker until hopes of her recovery were given up and her husband and family were fully apprised of the fact that her demise was but a question of mere time, consequently when the hour for dis- solution arrived they were resigned for the separation. She was about 40 years old and leaves a family of five children, one boy and four girls, one child having preceded her. The funeral took place from her late res- idence Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. A. Walker, after which her remains were removed to Oak Hill cemetery and laid to rest. She was a lady es- teemed by our entire community and her presence will be sadly missed.
