A number of new street, 1¢ begins to look like it would soon be the main street, business ap- peard to be brisk. Amoret is on one of the best R. R. in Missourt, she peo- ple look happy and move briskly. We saw J. W. Rogers, Downey, Geo, Cybert, Car Dudly, C. A. Wallace, Dr. Brooke, Dave Cesher, C. Robbins, they were all looking well and happy and moving around as though they expected brighter days in the near future. We saw Mre, Amangar Hens- ley who had jues returned from Ky., where she and her daughter, Mrs. Ida Winburn, spent the winter. She look- ed as young as she did 20 years ago. Mrs. Dan Smith drowned herself the 16sh of April ina deep hole in the Miami Creek on the Woody farm, She had lefts the house about ten o’clock. They went to the neighbors to look for her but could not find her, the neighbors joined in the search and about 2 o'clock she was found in the place mentioned above, She had taken off her shoes and shaw! and luid them on the bank When found her body was floating on top the water. She had been complaining for nearly a year, had been very nervous all winter. Several buildings have been built on Wess| NO, 26 afternoon the lightning struck the | chimney on Fred Braden’s houseand } tore it all to pleces, ran down on the stove and from the stove to the fioor tearing a hole in the floor.

It is thought that all of the Virginia school that has not had the mumps have been exposed. Aaron recetved a letter from his cousin Mrs, Sue Yates, (Sue Park) of Billlogs, Oklahoma, that they were all well and doing well, had thelr corn all planted, wheat and oats looking well, fruit will be plenty if nothing happens to {t hereafter. She renewed for Tuk Times so that she could hear from Aaron of kin- folks, doctors had been called to see her and {t appears that none could help her. She was born in Pennsylvania Sept. 1856, moved with herfather to Ill., and trom there to Bates county. She was married to Dan Smith in 1876 by J. 8. Plerce, then justice, 3 children were born to this union, one child died when small, Henry and Linnie were living at home. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs Beckett, died several years ago. No one knows the cause that led her to do the deed which she done but God who knows all things. In early life she took up the work of the good samaritan to care for the sick. It appeared to be her work to care for the sick, a work which she loved as long as she was able togy, is the tes- timony of her neighbors. Ask the Will Simpson and John Woody families what was her lifework. Is appears she did the work of caring for the sick because it gave her joy and comfort to do good to her fel lows while others enjoyed themselves in some other way. She will long be missed by her nelghbors in the work she was ready and willing to do. The funeral service was held at the house by the Presbyterfan minister of Butler and her body was laid to rest in the Virginia cemetery Satur- day.
