1 Hurrah for Fair Oaks! After a number of years hard work we have at last succeeded to elect a trustee in our corner of the township, Mr. Isaac Kight. We feel hopeful that we will now enjoy a few of the luxuries which we have been denied for several years, in the way of good roads. ; Last Saturday night there were 40 or 50 men, women and children who attended the political speaking held under a big tent in Washburn park. There were ten or a dozen came up on the seven o’clock train from Rensselaer. The speakers were Abe Halleck and Sam Sparling. Among the crowd was John Brunner, Lyman Zea and Ben Harris. Ed Lakin lost a span of mules Tuesday night. They got out of the pasture a couple of miles east of here' and wandered down to the Monon tracks and walked over the cattle guards and down the track toward Fair Oaks, where one of the fast morning trains struck them. One was carried over 150 yards and the other has not been heard from since. It was probably carried until the train stopped. Hurrah for us, we got three car loads of gravel the latter part of the week to put on the road just south of the depot. Guess they must have all of the roads in the south and east part of the township graveled or we would not have got any at all again this fall. So we realize that we are living in a time of advancement. As it is now started wq feel that if Trustee Davisson could hold another term we would no doubt get some gravel roads in this part of the township. The Beveridge special arrived here last Thursday somewhat behind time. When they got here they layed over about 30 minutes and ate their dinner which was furnished by the Central committee. It was cooked and served on the train to all but the train crew. This is a fair sample of what the g. o. p. big guns think of their laborers. The train crew went to the car to get their dinners, too, but they were handed a couple of sandwitches which they had to pay 10 cents for. This did not satisfy the hunger of these men, who had had probably no chance to get anything to eat for several hours, so they all went to the hotel and got a square meal. After the fireman got his dinner he went into Kight’s store and related their experience. While there he remarked that if they had been pulling a Democratic train they would have ate on the train where the rest of them did. At this a good old Bryan man went forth and set up the cigars to the whole crew. Long before this reaches the readers of The Democrat the results of the election will be known. (Correspondence continued on last page) OBITUARY. Calvin Harold, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Snodgrass, was born at Mt. Ayr, August 16, 1902, and died at his home five miles southeast of Morocco, Sunday morning, November 1, at 4:40 o’clock, of congestion of the Iqngs and bronchial trouble, his age being 6 years, 2 months and 15 days. His suffering was great but of short duration, he having been bedfast but a few days. He was a favorite in the family circle and his death was a sad blow to the family. He was a little sunbeam to all who knew him. He was conscious to the last, and realized death was near at hand, by bidding each member of the family "good-bye" about an hour and a half before death catne. Harold was an unusually bright boy and his one desire during his sickness was to recover so as to go to school again, this being his first term. He leaves a father, mother, 3 brothers and 2 sisters to mourn his loss; namely: Lee, Glen, Elmer, Bertha and Myrtle. The funeral was held at the home Monday morning at 9 o’clock, Rev. Ballard officiating. The remains were taken to Egypt cemetery for burial. Death came as a relief to his suffering and only those who have been similarly bereaved can know the weight of the affliction. Death does not stop to select its flowers but plucks them wherever it lays its icy grasp, but since all of us must die, death should not be looked upon so cruelly. A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved ls*stilled A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. xx
