His father was Josiah Sutton, Sr., who lived to be 88 years old. His mother survives him and Is now 85 years old. " Deceased leaves four children, Albert, John, Klrby ana Bet tie. .When toe not blast ol war was upon this land In 1861 he was one of the first men Jo offer bis services In de tense o! the south. He left bis young wife and first born, and exchanged the comforts of a happy home for the dand ers and hardships of a soldier's life. H went not to war with visions of glory and honor that thrilled the bosom of the officer, but with the purest and loftiest motlvss of the patriot. Ths beautif lines In Campbell's pleasures of hope tally expresses the .sentiment that fired his heart in those strong days: "Oh heaven, he cried, my bleeding coun try save. Is there no arm on high to shield the brave, - Yet though destruction sweep "'these lonely plains., , , Rise Nllowmeu, our country yet re mains, By that dread name we wave the sound , onhlgh.l , And swear with her to live, with her to die." ' , For four long years he was with Gen eral Lee's army and endured all the hard ships and participated In all the battles that has shed unfailing lustre on that gallant army and has rendered Its name immortal. Duty was his watch word, Hs was county commissioner for two years and he made a faithful officer, and had the confidence of the people of the whole county. He was a benevolent man, chalrtabls to the poor and left as a monument a church which heerected out of his own private property, from which will radiate christian Influence like beams of light to Illumine, to glad den and bless the community for genera tions yet unknown. Aftr the war be devoted himself to farming and by his In dustry and wise management he accumu lated a handsome fortune and has left all his children a competency and free from want. ; He made all his supplies for his farm and always had a surplus to sell. I was a frequent visitor to his house and he dispensed a generous, old fashioned, Southern hospitality. He was modest, plain, unassuming in his manners, unos tentatious In dress and was a true type of a model farmer and country gentle man. He lived like his noble father, not owing any man a cent He leaves an honorable name, the sweetest and richest legacy a father can leave his children. "Upon his brow shame Is ashamed to set, For 'tis a stone where be nor may be .. .. ccowned . , To be monarch of the universal earth." Old friend, hall and farewell.

The effort to form a union of all organisations that have for their object the beautifying of towns and cities which will be made in connection with the convention of the American Park and Outdoor association In Buffalo next year will be widely approved, says ths Buffalo Express, Most ; of , the large cities and many towns and villages have such associations and would glad ly join in the proposed movement Oue of the objects of forming a union. Is to Interest the government in. the work and get its support to the extent of collecting and making public infor mation on the subject with photo graphs, etc., showing what can be done by organized effort. The government's work, would presumably be largely to show what bas been done in foreign, towns and cities. ; The Individual or ganizations have accomplished much as it Is, but there is a limitless field in which to work, and government aid would be valuable. Every city in the country and many towns are, for example, filled with un-1 sightly . billboards and display adver tising in the form of Immense paintings on buildings, etc. The improvement so cieties have given their attention to -this matter for a long time, with con- eral states have upheld the right of a city to regulate the size of billboards, and there is every reason for (relieving that in the not distant future billboards will have disappeared from towns and cities. The care and planting of trees and shrubs, straightening the . sidewalk ' lines, removal; of sidewalk and lot fences and the beautifying of back ' yards are a few of the other changes which should be made in towns and cities. The question of architecture is another important point There Is plen- j ty of work to be done in improvement; . ' and any movement, such as the pro posed union of , the separate societies l which promises to help tbe cause l should be heartily supported. VILLAGE ATTRACTIONS. SomethJaa; Needed to Offset ITao of Modara Coavaaleaeaa. - Telephones, rural mall routes, inter urban and trolley lines have had the - effect it la said, of making small towns ; and villages more quiet than formerly, ' says the Indianapolis Journal. Now that - the farm - telephone has come - into use. Its owner does not "bitch up" : and go to the village as formerly to do ' ' his errands.- He telephones to the' storekeeper his order for goods and ' asks blm to send them out by trolley . f or by the first man traveling that way; ! he consults the doctor over the tele phone and talks with his friends in the village In tbe same way. The mail is brought to his gate and thus relieves him of tbe necessity of a daily trip. His relations with the blacksmith remain unchanged, for no way - has been yet devised . whereby that useful personage can shoe a horse or mend a wagon without having horse and vehicle present but these needs are not of daily occurrence, and so it happens that tbe little street or open square which was .wont to seem al most crowded with horses and vehi cles at certain hours every day or on certain days In the week now, often wears a deserted look, and the resi dents are conscious of a sense of lone liness. Tbey say, too, that when once a man gets on a trolley car with intent to make, a purchase be goes to a larger town and that this Is particularly true of bis wife or daughter on a similar er- . rand. All this is a natural but rather curious development following the ex- t tended use of modern conveniences, and what remedy the village has Is not plain." Its only tope is apparently to establish attractions of a social or edu cational nature that will offset the loss in other directions and will draw its rural neighbors there for amusement and entertainment , AN EXCELLENT PLAN. Good CltUcaa.nl a Loaaraea Promote tko Crowtk of a Towa. , To promote the growth of a town an excellent plan Is to form an organiza tion, under any name, naving for its object, everything tending to Improve tbe town, Increase its population, pro- mote tbe introduction of new indus tries; also to look after tbe taxation cf the property embraced In the town and to secure the passage of ordinances , and laws conducive to tbe prosperity -of tbe place and the comfort of those-' making their homes there. There should be elected' a board of officers, consisting of representative business men and committees appoint ed to look after state and local legisla tion, taxation and village expenditures, enforcement of village ordinances, con dition and appearance of streets and public places, travel anJ communica tion, education, water supply, sewage and sanitary affairs, new industries. and membership. If controlled by the proper spirit. such an organization cannot but " conducive to the growth and rr,J;H'r- ity of any town.
