A Card to the Public.

Having determined to continue In the nur-
sery business, we wish to call the attention
OF those planting fruit and ornamental trees
to our mammoth nursery stock, for the fall oil
1877 and spring of 1878. We desire to en-
ploy only responsible agents, and cur Gus
toners will confer lasting favor upon US by
reporting any agent who misrepresents our
interests or the interests OF our customers In
any particular. We are determined TO bring
the tree trade IN the west to higher stand
ard of excellence, that parties ordering trees
may feel confident they are being dealt with
honorably. All responsible nurseries are
now selling their trees by subscription. We
are confident, with our experience in the
nursery business, that trees can be shipped
with safety almost any distance, and that the
advantages in buying from Old and reliable
nurseries are worthy the consideration OF the
planter. Parties ordering trees by letter
should address all letters to ID. I. Freeman,

The people OF this city and vicinity were
startled, on Monday morning last, by the an
nouncement OF the sudden death OF Mrs. Hat
tie Beatty Jewett, wife OF W. T. Jewstt, and
mother OF Judge Jewett She had been all
ing but week when, at eight O'Clock Sab
bath evening, there appeared TO be general
suspension of her vital forces, with the ,ymp-
toms OF congestive chill, and in few mo-
ments her spirit had taken its everlasting
flight The funeral sermon WAS preached b y
Rev. J. p. Harsen, on Monday, at the Pres
byterian church, Of which she was member,
and in the evening her remains were followe
by many friends TO their silent home on the
hill. Mrs. Jewett was born in New Lisbon,
Ohio, in 1927; was married to w. T. Jewett
in Stubenyille. The family moved to Kansas
and to this valley nearly seven years ago, be-
ing among its very earliest settlers. Her
youHgest child is nine years old, her eldest is
Judge Jewett. The family lived in our city
for some time, and Mrs. Jewett, by her amia-
bility and gentle life, won the love and re-
spect OF all with whom she became accqusint-
auce. She was wife and mother, true, pure
and perfect in all that goes to make up these
two most sacred characters. To the stricken
husband and mourning children we extend
our sympathy, for each and all seem broken
up. A mothers loss cannot be estimated nor
can any one take her place.
