FIRST ROOM. Mamie Cobb Mary Going Lofetta A. Brown was born in Xnt!- och, 111., Sept. 10, 1851. When but nine months old, death deprived her of a mother's love and care. She passed her childhood and youth in McHenry and adjoining counties except about four years spent in Syracuse, N. Y. Her education was obtained in the public schools. September 8,1871, she was married to Wallace Colby, of McHenry. The fol­ lowing year they settled on a favm near McCollum's lake. In 1896 they moved moved to McHenry village where sh# died March 2, 1901, after a lingering ill­ ness. . She was the mother of seven children, of whom two, Allen and Bernard, died in infancy, and are buried in Ringwood oemetery. The five remaining are Lulu, Roy, Nye, Etta and Nina. These, with her husband, five half brothers and one half sister, are left to mourn her loss. Her funeral services were held at her late home, the Rev. J. Straub conduct­ ing them. She was laid to rest in Ring- wood cemetery near her little sons. There is no sadder scene of human be­ reavement than is witnessed when the family group is broken up by the death of the wife and mother. Her presence and her love always constitute the strongest, sweetest tie that binds the family circle together. She is, indeed, the heart and soul of her home. Her love is the first love her children ever know--the most constant and unselfish the last to be forgotten. When death calls her in the midst of her usefulness, she leaves vacant a place that can never be filled. The young lives so bereft of a mother's presence are deprived of their safest, wisest counselor and most loving friend. Mrs. Colby was a woman who will be greatly missed by those who knew her best. She was a woman of kindly, so­ cial nature--a good neighbor and a con­ stant friend. She was a good wife and loving, self-sacrificing mother--ever willing to give up her own pleasure for the comfort and happiness of her family. She had a warm interest in the welfare of her friendB and relatives and the com* nranity in which she lived. The writer well remembers her as a sweet-faced, gentle girl who once formed a part of her own family circle. The friendship GEN.

The Board of Education at their Tues­ day night meeting appointed Miss Mar­ garet Salisbury, music teacner in the public school for the rest of the year.

K Among the prominent Republicans, of Illinois, who desire recognition by the present administration, the claims of Judge Benjamin O. Jones, of Metropolis, Mercer county, are being discussed by the people and press of "Egypt." Judge Jones is not unknown to many in North­ ern and Central Illinois. As a member of the legislature years ago, and later, as 4 member of the Republican State Central committee, he made many friends all over the state. During the campaign of 1896 he "stumped" the state for the Republican ticket his labors extending from the Ohio river to McHenry oounty. Last year he spent three months in the campaign, closing his labors in Chicago, where he was called the last week. Judge Jones has never held or appliedi for a federal office. His claims certainly should not be over­ looked by the administration and his many friends throughout Illinois will be pleased to see wajEOi^. , •- % " then gained never failed while life lasted. Even when burdened with many cares and enfeebled by failing health her lov­ ing heart clung to the friends of early days. She was in delicate health, for many years--often prostrated, with but little hope of recovery--then she would rally, and take up her household duties again. In January of this year she was again prostrated by an illness too severe for her feeble health to withstand, and she passed * peacefully away to that beautiful land where there is neither sorrow nor sighing and "the weary are at rest."
