Hitherto the month and day of cancellation has not boon required. The ntw bankruptcy lawa framed by congress and w hich have recently jrono into effect, while they possess many features of undisputed merit, do not ro dound to tho benefit of tho county sheriffs. Tho reason for this Is that a largo proportion of tho business of tho sheriff's office resulting through insol vent debtors promises to bo transacted under the new bankruptcy laws through tho United States district courts. As a natural result the fees of tho sheriff will be sacrificed. Resolve thut you will not gossip, tuttlo or llo, says tho Knoxvllle Courier.

MRS. AMELIA REYNOLDS DIED SATURDAY FROM APOPLEXY. Had Been a Resident Here Sixty-One Years Moved Here When Town Site Was a Wilderness. At 5.30 last Thursday evening Mrs. Amelia Reynolds, n highly esteemed lady and one of tho first settlors in Hoyn oldsville, was stricken with upoplcxy und at 2.00 A. M. Saturday her heart ceased Its work and her spirit winged its flight into tho eternal world. Al though Mrs. Reynolds hud been an in valid for many years, yet her death was sudden und unexpected, hut sbo was ready for the inevitable. Sho was in a comatose condition from tho time she was stricken until she peacefully passed from tho shores of time. She recog nized tho voices of somo of her loved ones und spoke two or three times. Mrs. Reynolds would hnve boon eighty-two yours old the 2.'lrd of this month. She had lived at this place sixty-one years and was the mother of tho first whito child born In this section. The following lines would be applica ble to the deceased: "Life! We've been lonu together, Thi-ouirh pleasant anil iIii-oukIi cloudy weather: "Tin I11111I to part when friends are dear. Perhaps 'twill cost a sluh, a tear; Then steal away, itivf little warning, 1 noose mine own time; Pay not tJoiHl-Nlifht, hut In some brighter I'litne Bid me tiood-MornlnK." Mrs. Amelia Ross Reynolds, daughter of John Ross, was born in Philadelphia January 2:ird, 1M". When two years old her parents moved to Worthlngton, Armstrong county. Pa., where sho ro- slded until married to Woodward lioyn- oids, of Klttanning, March Hist, IMS. David Reynolds, father of Woodward, gave the young couple a wedding pres ent of throe hundred acres of land in tho wilderness where Reynoldsvillo now stands. The next morning after tho wedding Woodward Reynolds and bride started out to find and locate on their wedding present. After two days of weary traveling on horseback they arrived at their destination and found one littlo log house and a small patch of cleured land on their throe hundred acres. Tho log houso stood where Al bert Reynolds' dwelling now stands. They found tho pluce to bo a veritable wilderness. A few Redmen still roam ed this section, and bears, panthers, wolves, wildcats and doer wero numer ous. Tho only road was tho Waterford turnpike, although there wero puths through the forest that hud been mudo by tho Indians. Tho postoffleo wus locat ed at Luthersburg, eight miles distant, and tho grocery store was a four-horse wugon from Philadelphia that made periodical trips through this suction. The young couple wero not nonplused nor discouraged by their environments, but went to work with a determination to overcomo all obstacles and muko a home for themselves. Mr. Reynolds soon bought eight hundred acres more of timber land, making his possession in the wilderness eleven hundred acres. Mrs. Reynolds wus a great help to her husband und was not afraid to perform the work that fell to her to do. Gradually the forest yielded to the woodsman's axe and Mrs. Reynolds lived to see the wilderness transformed Into the present thriving town of Reynolds- ville. In WO Mr. Reynolds built the brick hotel now known us Frank's Tuvern, ut corner of Main and Third streets. It wus a mugnillceut building for this sec tion In those days. Mr. Reynolds died In lHlil, leuvlng his widow with four sons and eight daughters to look after. Sho who, uncomplainingly, bad faced the hardships and tribulations of build ing and clearing a home in the wilder ness, proved equul to the task of curing for a large fumily when left a widow. Fonr of tho children preceded the mother to "thut bourne from whence no traveler e'er returns," and the fol lowing children still live to revere the name of mother and call her blessedj David Reynolds, Albert Reynolds, Mrs. C. C. Gibson, Mrs. J. S. Morrow, Mrs. Frutik Miller and Miss Ida Reynolds, of this place, Mrs. Charles Montgomery, of Sligo, and Mrs. L. L. Seoley, of Splvey, Kan. Six und a half yours ago Mrs. Reyn REYNOLDS. olds slipped off a step on her back porch Bnd sustained an injury to her left hip, which ever afterwards left her a crip ple. The only way she could get around was to bo wheeled In a chair. Hut even in her allllction she was very patient and was happy most all the time. She always had a cheerful disposition and was seldom heard to complain. We have been personally acquainted with tho deceased a quarter of a century and can only speak in the highest terms of praise of her. No doubt there are many people in town to-day who have been hero for years that have never seen "Mux" Reynolds, as she was familiarly known In our boyhood days. F.von be fore tho fall, which crippled her for the remainder of her earthly existence, she was a great homebody. Sho wus a good neighbor and a kind mother. Funeral services were held at her lute residence on Main Btreet at 2.00 i m. Monday, conducted by Rev. W. Frank Reber, pastor of tho church of which she had been a member 34 years Pres byterian and tho mortal remains of the oldest Inhabitant of Reynoldsvillo were followed to Houlah cemetery by a largo funeral procession and wero low ered into the tomb besldo tho husband, who had crossed the border lino over thirty-seven years ago, and the two sons and two daughters whoso bodies were carried to their lust resting pluce years agono. David and Albert Reynolds both be ing members of tho 'Masonic lodge of this place, the pall-bearers were Masons: John II. Corbott, Dr. B. E. Hoover, Thomas Shields, Clarenco R. Hall, Charles A. Ilerpel and T. C. Reynolds. In Favor of a County Home. ' Citizens and Taxpayers op Jef- FKRRON COUNTY: I am satlstled there is a better way of keeping our poor thun we have at the present time. In tho first plaeo, look at tho largo sum of money that fs spvnt In one year to find out where the legal residence of our poor is in the several townships and borouchs of the county. In tho second pluce tho townships und boroughs near ly all are not in shape to keep their poor as they should be kept. You take a man with a largo fumily of children and that man can koep his family a grout ueal cheaper if they nro nil atone place If he had his family scattered over tho county In different places it certainly would cost him more to keep them. Then we say it would bo bettor to have a county home and turm where tho poor could bo taken and well cared for with loss money. I went to see tho Clear held county homo and I ara satisfied It is tho projier wuy to keep our poor They told mo thoir taxes aro away down from what they were under the old system. They say if wo get a home wo will never regret it. Now, tux pay ers, why is It thut so many of our conn ties aro getting County Homes He- cause it pays to have them. I canvassed the entire county with a petition to get tho overseers to sign it so as to bring it before the people and havo a vote on tho County Iliinio, While canvassing the county I hud a conversation with neurly all the over seers about a County Home and they told mo they were in favor of it, and nearly all signed the petition. In B6v oral places they told me they had been tulking of a County Home and tbeyhad intended taking up tho work I wus do ing. Well, Id conclusion, I would say give this question some thought, for us taxpayers it is worthy our consideration Noah Sypiimt.
