Mrs. Elza Ma.rtin.
: Mrs Elza Martin died on Wednesday -
. nesday at her home northeast of
.
this city , at theage.of sixty-eight
years.
. The death of Mrs. Martin
. marks the passing of a most excellent
' cellent woman. She was a
' . . .
. woman of deep seated religious
} : " ' , convictions and the Methodist
church never produced a purer
. . . ' type of Christian character or , a
more exemplary exponent of its
teachings and virtues. From her
! girlhood she lived in an atmos-
, . . .
1 phere of Christian sanctity , and
t . . . her life was a model ot consis-
tency. In the years in which her
. husband was a mInister of the
f' } \ . . , . gospel she was his helpmeet in
- : an things spiritual as well as ma-
teiial matters. As a mother she
gave to her children a beautiful
. influence and kept undefiled the
Christian atmosphere of the home
circle. Hers was a life crowned
f by good works , wrought in the
: years of faithful service and when
. , the finger of God touched her ,
"
If ; , , , , . the pain was eased . , the suffering
' , .
I' . . ended and she fell into the blessed I -
, ed sleep of . those who die in the
Lord.

A TAX PAYE12.
14' . E : Martin assumed ' the du-
ties of county attorney in January -
, uary , 1903. . The records show
that since . . that time about twenty
criminal cases have been docketed
and disposed of. There is no
record of convictions except in
one or two cases where the defendant -
fendant pleaded guilty. In sev-

ney for a year and a half and has
neither convicted nor prosecuted
a single case in the district court
in that time. He has been paid
at the rate of one hundred dollars
each for dismissing ' cases.
On July 17th. 1903 , the county

torney from 8800 to 81,000 per
year. _
