I t is supposed it did, however, for about the only time those fellows had any real fun was when a king passed in his checks and there was a chance for another elec, tion. They liked election, and as a king could be removed only by death, their holidays were few and far be­ tween. A king hardly ever dies a natural death. 0 They seemed to the Romans to have wonderfully good health and to enjoy themselves real well. A politician had a hard row to hoe where there was an election only mice in forty or fifty years, so we cannot blame them t o o much if they appeared to relish an occasional funeral.

The late Alva, Hagler was born a t New Jasper, Ohio, April 28,1875. and departed this ?,life October 13, 900, a t the home of his wife’s parents, near Sabina, Ohio, in his twenty-sixth year, being 25 years, 5 months and 5 days of age. His parents moved to Yellow Bpring ’ when be was a» mere boy, where he enjoyed the privilege of at­ tending the day schools and a live Babbatb School in the M. E , Church. 'rora thence his family moved iu the vicinity of Clifton .where he finished, lie education. He was a thoughtful student and exemplary pupil, and promised a successful .career in life. He was of a reticent, yet pleasing dis­ position, thereby making and. holding his many young friends, who ’loved him tenderly. T o know him thor­ oughly was to love him. He delighted to obey and honor his fond parents, who delighted in him aud never wearied in supplying his wants. 'He was greatly attached to his brother, Lester, who in return did all in"his power to minister- to his wants throughout his long and and painful illness. His youngest sister was his joy and song. Thus we see the strong afiectiouhe bore to his family and the bond, that united tbejr home life, and so trying when broken by the vicisi- tudes of life or the hand cf death. - He was united iu marriage to Miss Marguerite Driscoll, of Sabina, No­ vember 4,1897, who mourns intensly bis demise. Their brief married life was a happy one, though their cup of joy was mingled with the sqrrow of itis affiictiQo...yet cheered by the Angel of Hope. Bhe hoped to the last tor iiis recovery, and ministered like an Angel to him as he waited the sum- mond from ori high. To them was born a beautiful little girl October 8 ; ■1898, remaing with them but a few months then took wing for Paradise, February 2,1899. ram that hour he made ample and more complete preparation to meet her in heaven. He joined the M, E . Church when in Yellow Spring*. Last spring when in Christ Hospital for treatment, he received a divine Uplift by the con­ secrated efforts of the deaconess, who ministered to soul and body. From that hour he became perfectly re­ signed. He loved bis Bible and fre­ quently quoted those beautiful pas sages, expression of a living faith and divine peace and soul rest, and a bright hope of immortality and everlasting ife. Such as, “ For I reckon that Bufferings of this present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall bo revealed in us,” and ‘Nothing shall be able to seperato us from the love of God which wo have n Christ Jesus our Lord.” Toward the last his suffering Was in* tense. Liko the sainted Baxter, he had pain, bu t he also bad peace- great peace within. Ha then bid goodbye to wife and family, saying he was willing and ready to.go and slum her into the long, long sleep from which no Christian ever waked. to weep.

The sad news received early Friday morning and the deepest ’ regret was shown by the citizens for for it is realized that Greene County has lost her leading citizen, ~ ‘ . About a month ago Mr. Little suffer- , ed a severe Attack o f indigestion from which it required several days to re­ cover. On Thursday about noon he > was taken with another severe spell of • indigestion. His physician was sum­ moned and every available aid was, : administered, bu t a t 110 o'clock' that night the great spirit was removed. Hap. John Little was bom .in RoSs township Greene county Ohio, April 25th, 1837, his parents having moved to jh is county from Virginia iu 1833, and settled upon a tract of woodland. His early-days were spent in Assisting.' his father to prepare thd land for cul­ tivation, and his early education was obtained a t the country schools, which be whs required to attend with great regularity. In 1856 he entered An­ tioch college,.and after two years jin the preparatory and fou r year* in the collegiate department, was graduated in 1862. After leaving college be .-tau g h t 1 school for a short time. He was ad­ mitted to the bar in 1865. In 18fi6 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney and re-elected in i 868 . In 1869 was elected Representative to the State - Legislature, resigning bis former of­ fice. / In 1873 he was elected Attor­ ney-General of Ohio, and held tha t office two terms, H e was elected to the Forty-ninth Congress in 1884 and gained considerable distinction while serving in that capacity. H e was also a member of the Venezuelan Commission, and was a t the time of his death a member o f the State Board of Arbitration. Fo r a number of yean he has been a trustee of Antioch College. Mr. Little’s latest public position wsb that of being a member of the new court housebuilding commission, which body may congratulate them­ selves that they have had the advice of such a broad minded man, Politically Mr. L ittle 'has always'^ been with the Republican forces and * during all his canvass it'ean truthfully be said that no man ever heard him say an ill word o f an opponent. In fact he was the strongest man in Greene county, his political speeches and arguments”have drawn the atten­ tion of the leading statesmen of this country. A* an attorney he never gave his assistance in a casein which he did not believe justice to be on Ms side. On October 19,1862, he was mar­ ried to Miss Barbara J , Sheets,, of near Troy, and to them were born two children, Mr. George L ittle and and Miss Mary Little.
