Some of the Negro joints in the southeast part of town were raided last week.  Several arrests were made, some pleaded guilty and were fined $10 and a number of names of others were obtained.  The city officers are determined that these places must go.  This should have been done long ago, as it has been known that these places existed and were a disgrace to the town and cast reflections on the citizens for tolerating them.

Agnes PATTERSON died in Crystal City last week and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery.

 

The men who work at the glassworks in Crystal City are very much perturbed over the eight hour law.  Some think it will be better for them while others think it will be worse.

Sam BOYCE of Plattin came to town Saturday, tied his horse under Waggoner's shed until after night and when he went to get the horse, he was gone and could not be found, neither could he be found at home and Sam thinks he was stolen.  A gang of Gypsies encamped south of town claims one of their horses was missing the same night.

~Mrs. E. L. HINSON Died Friday~

Missouri J. HINSON, wife of Edward L. HINSON died at her home in Hillsboro, Friday, March 21st, 1913.  She was stricken with pneumonia early in the week and from the very first there seemed to be no hope.  Outside medical aid was called but nothing could be done.  Mrs. HINSON was a daughter of John HUSKEY of Big River Township and was born in Dec. 1858.  She was married to Mr. HINSON on the 29th anniversary of her birth in Dec. 1887.  Four children were born of the marriage, Edward C., Dudley D., Benomi and John C. HINSON, all of whom survive.  Mrs. HINSON was a woman of great energy and since her marriage to Mr. HINSON they together have gathered quite an enviable share of the world’s goods.  They had just completed a beautiful home in Hillsboro and had given their Big River farms to their sons and were perfecting their plans to enjoy life’s pleasures and comforts.  Mrs. HINSON was not connected with any church organization but she was a professed Christian and the record of her life bears out the truth of her belief on the meek and lowly Nazarene.  The funeral services were at the church and were conducted by Rev. G.W. HOLMES pastor of the M.E. Church South.  The day was Easter and the minister called attention to the fact that it was the day of the Resurrection and that even as Christ had arisen so should those be lifted up who believed.  The interment took place Sunday afternoon at the Hillsboro Cemetery, where a loving wife, mother and sister was laid to rest among the Easter lilies to await that last Resurrection promised those who love God.

HOLMES.  At the appointed hour the bridal couple entered the parlor at the strains of the wedding march, played by Miss Minnie PHILIPS of Hematite.  After the mystic words and solemn pledges, congratulations were showered upon this worthy couple.  The bride was robed in a white silken gown with a profusion of sweet peas and rose buds about her and the groom looked proud indeed as he claimed her.

The guests were relatives and close friends, among whom were a number of Jefferson County people.  There was a large and beautiful display of wedding presents.  Mr. LEE will bring his bride to Hematite to live where he is engaged in the dairy business.  All joy and good wishes be theirs.
