He had been quite sick for a v, week or two and his death was no ' - surprise, as he has been too feble to get out for some time. His last pub-. pub-. lie appearance was at the Pioneer cel ebration on January 13th, when hb made a short address to the people. One by one tho members of the company who pitched camp hero 64 , years ago have been called home, un til now tho last one has laid down the burdens of life and gone from us, to meet perhaps those comrades of other days, when life was a struggle for ex- istenco, luxuries unknown, and the . y only pleasures wero those of the sim plest nature. Undo John had a wonderfuul mem- ory and was able in his 78th year to ' ' w&writa several hundrod pages of inter-' inter-' posting matter pertaining to his early 4 'life and manhood. Wo are sorry to see him go, ub all felt that he was the last link that connected us with tho - , original pioneers, and their great la-bojr la-bojr in our valley. Funeral arrangements have not been mado at this writing. We believe that wo voico the general gener-al sentiment at this place wher. wo say that Editor Wilkinson's editorial on the prohibition question last week comes as near giving the correct ox pistio of tte Matter aa anything wo have seen on tho subject. Tho play, "The District Attorney" has been postponed on account of the death of Uncle John Henderson, until un-til Monday, April 5th, when it will be presented in good shape. The play is a good one, tho players aro well up in it, and you can't afford to miss seeing it. Remember, Monday, April 5th. Rooks Donated to tho Library.
