SEDALIA, MO., January 15 - After a short but painful illness Maj Jas. C. Wood died this morning at 4 o'clock . Maj. Wood was one of our oldest and most prominent citizens. He served gallantly as a Confederate soldier during the war, and at the close was one of the band that followed Joe Shelby into Mexico. He was twice elected to the office of Clerk of the Pettus Circuit Court, and has held other places of trust. Deceased was well known throughout the State, and especially in Central Missouri, where he was held in high esteem.
