White McNUTT was at all times a gentleman. His was the life that all men respect, that
all admire and that all emulate. If he
had any enemies they were enemies to virtue because White McNUTT never
knowingly wronged any man. It is
unfortunate that he left no descendents behind to transmit the virtues of this
exemplary citizen for such he was in every sense and meaning of the term. He sleeps well in the soil of

~Field Day for Road Bosses~
The Annual Convention of Road Overseers met at the court
house Saturday.
There were only a few absentees. The meeting was called to order by Highway
Engineer CAMPBELL, who outlined the purposes of the meeting and gave the
overseers instructions on the work. He
laid stress on the fact that owners of lands must cease throwing brush and
trash in the ditches and keep fences off the right of way and advised the road
overseers to make an example of the first fellow they caught doing either.
The use of the road drag was advised and Judge McNAMEE
explained its value and told how to use and to make them. The value of ditches
was also exemplified but the engineer told the boys that ditches were of no
value unless the water could get off the road and into them, hence the road
should be graded and have sufficient crown to throw the water in the ditches.
"Thank you Ma'ams", "Water Breaks" or
"Dutchmen" were discussed. The Engineer favored a diagonal break on
steep hills, Judge McNAMEE a square break and John C. HILGERT an A shaped
break. We favor John C. HILGERT's idea
is a more practical because the A break divides the water. Judge McNAMEE agreed
that an A break was as good as a square break, the advantage in both cases
being that the vehicle wheels struck them fairly and evenly and save wrenching
the vehicles.
Albert BROCK/Brouk? made an address urging the necessity of
building some permanent work each year.
W.E. MEDLEY agreed that this was entirely proper if there was any money
left after the holes and bad places in the roads were repaired.
The Road Overseers as a rule seemed to be impressed with the
importance of their positions and with a desire to see the roads greatly
improved, but all felt that the present fund was insufficient to accomplish
much more than the necessary repair work on roads. Judges WINER and KERCKHOFF
were present at the meeting.

~In Memoriam~
Mrs. Margaret J.
HARRIS, relict of Thos. M. HARRIS of St. Francois Co. Mo. passed away at her
home, the Cedars, near
She was early in
life a Bible student, always a firm believer in Christ's promises, a Presbyterian
of Presbyterian ancestors. Her maternal
grandmother, Mrs. Oliver Harris nee Margaret SHELBY, of Welsh decent was a
niece of Brigadier General Evans SHELBY of Colonial wars; the first person
invested with title on this side the water.
Mrs. HARRIS was
an unusual character, being a woman of executive ability, a home maker, a
devoted mother, an interesting companion with a quick wit and a ready
intelligence. She had many friends and admirers among the neighbors and the
patrons of the Cedars. One of these latter writes to the family:
"We who had
known your mother so many years, her gentle nature, and beautiful spirit can
enter into and appreciate just what your loss is. I shall always picture her in my mind,
sitting on the piazza among her flowers, the sweetest one of them all. To have
known her was to love her."
She was ill for
over seven weeks and did not seem to suffer greatly except from extreme
weariness. She rests now in Bellefontaine beside her daughter and two
grandchildren. Mrs. HARRIS is survived by three sons, four daughters, seven
grandchildren and three great grandchildren. "They raise up and call her
Blessed."
