That the Young Men's Christian Association is doing a great work for the young men of the land had been thought by many people of Sedalia, but the meeting of the State Association in Sedalia last week proved that fact. It would be hard to find a more earnest and devout body of men in any Christian gathering. The Association of the State is composed of railroad men, begrimed and honest labors, college young men, enthuseastic and aggressive, city young men who know the way of city life, and have overcome some of the difficulties of living a pure life. These men foster and manage and almost, by their association and devotion, compel the systematic study of the Bible. Having overcome, they are an incalculable help to the weaker men, who from time to time come to the association. The session drew large crowd who followed with profound interest the addresses, lectures and conversational talks, which the "fellows" gave. One notable feature was the men's meeting at the New Sedalia Theater on Sunday afternoon, Dean Peck of Denver, Col. preached a powerful sermon on the Redemption of men, and after wards spoke for a few minutes on how to become a christian. The Y. M. C.A. is open to all races, creed end condition of men. It does not draw the line on the unconverted, but makes them non-active members. t has associations and secretaries in America, countries of Europe, Japan, China and Corea. It also has three international secretaries working among the Colored men of America. The Association is planning an association and building in Sedalia, The only association in Sedalia is the one at Geo. R. Smith College. NEW GROCERY and MEAT MARKET, A. F.

Death of a Centenarian- Mary Spriggs was born a slave December 11, 1802, near Eppersonsville, Warren county, Ky. She was owned by Dr. Harris. Her father, Eleven Hollins came from Virginia; her mother, Lucin da, was a daughter of one of Doctor Harris' favorite servants. When her parents were sold, she was left in the cradle and she never heard any straight account of them since. 12 years after Missouri had been admitted to the Union as a state, when it was almost a wilderness, she came as one of its early settlers. And here she has remained until death. At the time of emancipation she was the property of Anderson Warren. She was the mother of eleven children, five of whom survive her with 22 grand and 18 great-grand children. In every sense of the word she was a kind wife, loving mother, affectionate grand-mother, a devoted and exemplary Christian. At the tender age of 14 she embraced a hope in Christ and after His steps she has followed for 89 ycass. First money raised for the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal church in Sweet Springs, was in her home during the pastorate of the late Reverend George Lucas. Her's was a sudden death, without sickness or a sign of pain. About one o'clock. December 3 the Death Angel came to the residence of her daughter where she has lived for several years, and summoned her from labor to reward. At the time of her death, she was 102 years, 11 months and 22 days of age. While we who knew her gazed upon the casket that bore her remains and, as we thought of the dear one that lay therein, it filled our heart with sadness and grief Our tears could not be stayed in their flow of sympathy. Yet, we should not have cried, because it was "God's will." The seating sun has flung back its beams of light upon a life that has answered well its purposes and was ready and waiting for the "Well Done" of God. This life was filled with the noblest of christian virtues and charities and it was restored to its creator with an unconplaining reverence. She is not dead but has gone to a blissful rest.

Our gratefulnes should be made manifest by not only giving praise and thanksgiving to the "Lord, the Most High," but also in alleviating the wants of those about us who may be in distress; by studying the conditions that are about us and striving to make them better. Our achievements, during the year, have been portentously great. In no instance where we have striven for mastery, has our efforts failed to bring gratifying results. Plans for the completion of great engineering constructions have received popular approval, legislation to remedy existing evils in our commercial and municipal activities are endorsed by the popular will; efforts to obliterate sectional and racial hatred are visibly aided by the American conscience. Amid all these honorful surroundings, dangers and pitfalls still lurk. Hence we must urge upon all to approach the altar of Thanksgiving with vigilant as well as grateful hearts. Watch for evils that everywhere seek lodgment in the hearts of the unsuspecting. A HINT TO MOTHERS. others sometimes make mistakes in caring for you are the results of want or knowledge; Someince, and others may be attributable to their management of the home. A mistake too free frominding their children to town at improper home for the youthful hands and minds to execute possible mother ought ever to think of sending purchase beer for the home at any hour of ten girls from 14 to 16 years of age sent into a room and even 10 o'clock at night. If mother by their appetites, should they allow their apples to womanly instincts that are being developed. It is time our mothers must be exhorted to protect their young from ensnaring evils. Or habit our parents have gotten into is the way to town to shop at dusk. Or many of our young daughters to wait until night before they reach the street, some dudish fop hobbleering hellish designs in their ears. If you you to follow your little Miss to town some find her giggling with some hotel, saloon, when you would not permit her to entertain yourself to the store to secure those necessities after night. Don't permit that unsophistic yours to be out on the streets much alone ifbody some day in the future. As should exercise the same care in rearing they have good girls if you tail to have good a boy? Keep your boys at home. Did you ever you are doing to your sons when you play the influences of evil are dominant? Better, a little ragged than to have him well attired but dethrone the elements of true manhood as youthful life, hope and inspiration. A Please think of it and act as you think best. Our mothers sometimes make mistakes in caring for their children. Many are the results of want or knowledge; Some are because of indifference, and others may be attributable to the want of industry and management of the home. A mistake too frequently made is that of sending their children to town at improper hours on errands not suited for the youthful hands and minds to execute. No sensible mother ought ever to think of sending a child into a saloon to purchase beer for the home at any hour of the day. But we have seen girls from 14 to 16 years of age sent into saloons to buy beer at 7, 8, 9 and even 10 o'clock at night. If mothers must have beer to allay their appetites, should they allow their appetites to slay the embryo womanly instincts that are being developed in their daughters? It is time our mothers must be exhorted to endeavor to endeavor to protect their young from ensnaring evils. Another habit our parents have gotten into is that of sending their girls to to town to shop at dusk. Or many of our parents permit their young daughters to wait until night before they feel like going to the store to buy thread, mail a letter, purchase a tablet, secure the groceries or lay in supplies for supper or the morrow. If they must wait until night, you should accompany them, because no sooner than they reach the street, some dudish fop hob knobs up to them, whispering hellish designs in their ears. If you doubt this, let us advise you to follow your little Miss to town some evening, and and you will find her giggling with some hotel, saloon or gambling house denizen you would not permit her to entertain in your parlor. Go yourself to the store to secure those necessities, if you must have them after night. Don't permit that unsophisticated 16-year old Miss of yours to be out on the streets much alone if you wish her to be somebody some day in the future. Mothers should exercise the same care in rearing their boys. How can they have good girls if you tail to have good boys to associate with them? Keep your boys at home. Did you ever think of the of the injury you are doing to your sons when you place them in positions where influences of evil are dominant? Better let your boy's clothing be a little ragged than to have him well attired with habits acquired that dethrone the elements of true manhood that should dominate his youthful life, hope and inspiration.

There are many inquires concerning the enforcement of the compulsory education law. A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. Moerschel B BREWERS AND Cor.

A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.
