George O. Lovett, one of our pioneers, died at his home here Tuesday morning. Was born in Niagra county, State of New York, in He died in Madison, Kansas, April 2, 1906, aged 64 years, 10 months. He was raised on a farm until the of sixteen. At that time he moved age to Iriquois county, Illinois, with his parents.

Here he followed the vocation of a farmer until 1862, when the call for volunteers to uphold his government came to the prairies of the West, and like thousands of true men he volunteered to peril his life in the defense of his country. He enlisted in the 76th I. V. I at the age of twentyone and served three years with courand credit. He was wounded and age taken prisoner betore Richmond, Va.

He was confined in Libby prison, he was afterward exchanged and lay in the ho-pital until he regained his health. He was sent South and Was mustered out of the service in New Orleans on the 24th day of May, 1865, He returned to Illinois and in 1866 married Amanda Fiddlar. Of the union were born four boys, Frank, Charles, Otis, Caseius, all of whom survive him. His wife died in 1874. He taught school until 1878, at which time he came to Madison, Kansas, and in real estate business.

In engaged 1879 he unite in marriage with Abbie Kelley, of tuis union were born five children--Nanny, William, Clara, Nellie, Harry, all of whom survive him, together with his wife. Geo. 0. Lovett was a man of sterling worth. No man in Madison township acquired as many warm friends as George 0.

Lovett. He was chosen Register of Deeds of this county in 1890 by an overwhelming majority and was re-elected by his thousands of admirers with a vote that attested the high esteem in which he was held by the people of his county and which demonstrated the ability of the man aud his conscientious attention to the most minute details of his office. He was a member of no church; his Model" way is a winner. THE MODEL CLOTHING HANCOCK. Managers, Will They Come Back.

About two months ago a very prosperous looking man vieited most of the farmers of this vicinity and r- presented that he was a member of a large business firm in the United States, which had branches in all the large cities, including Kansas City. He told the farmers that his firm was going to pay 25 cents a pound for butter and 25 cents a dozen for eggs for the year round and were going to sell the farmers groceries at wholesale prices He said that they would ship in a car of groceries every month or two land ship out a car of butter and whenever the supply would warrant. This sounded good to the farmers and they bought liberally, some families buying as much as $50 or $75 worth. The car of groceries came and the people drove to town on that day and got their goods. Many of them brought their butter and eggs to apply on their groceries.

These were told that they would have to pay cash for their groceries and that they should bring in their butter and eggs two weeks later, when this member of the large firm would be on hand and pay cash for these at the rate of 25 cents per. When these customers had their goods home they discovered that they had a very inferior class of goods and had paid about the ordinary retail price for them. They had bought in large quantities and had paid the cash for their goods. which would ordinarily entitle them to the cheapest rate, The tion to pay 25 cents a dozen for eggs and 25 cents a pound for butter all the year round had overshadowed everything else when they were buying. Now, we are not saying that these people will not redeem their pledge to pay this amount for butter and eggs, but we would like to have some one let us know when these people are here, as we have many friends who have butter and eggs to sell.

religion Was "Help for the living, Hope for the dead," and he lived that ligion every day of his life, as dreds can testify. He was most tolerant of religious societies, conceding to every man his right to believe as he chose, and for himself he exacted the privilege of doing what he could to make this life more pleasant for those in need and the world a better dwelling place for those who are here. He was a Mason, Odd Fellow, Workman and Woodman and lived close to the principles of those orders. Friendship, charity, justice, love and truth were his pillar of fire and columns of smoke. As a pioneer he did a large part in the development of this country and the upbuilding of this community.

As a husband and a father, the love of his family testify to the high place he held in their affections. He won and kept their love and respect by his unvarying goodness and loving watchful care. The funeral was held Thursday at the home of the family at 2:80, conducted by Rev. Shaw. The remains were interred in Blakely Cemetery.
