after brief illness, Mrs Ida CAMPBELL
MCDONALD, wife Of J. Wiley Mcdonald,
daughter of Charles and Nancy Camp
bell in the 2Sth year of her age
Mrs Mcdonald was born, raised up to
omaRhOod, and married near the place
of her death. Thus her life was spent
in our midst and known to as all. She
was gentle and aFeetionate in her nature
her attachment for her friends warm
and strong She at an early age pro-
fessed her faith 10 Christ, was united
with the Presbyterian church, and re
ceivod into the church and baptised by
Rev. J. Il. Gray, d. E., in 1866, which
membership she retained till her death.
We laid her in our quiet little church :
yard with other loved ones gone before,
where toe birds will chant their reQuiems
until the resurrection morn, when may
We all by G0d's grace be prepa red to
enter on the rest that remuiEeth for ia e
people OF God. "For If We believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them
also that sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him" She has left an aGectionate
companion and three sweet little giIl :,
one the infant of only few hours, to
mourn through life their irrep rable loss.
Sad indeed are the ravages that death
has made in our immediate family circle

Why Farming Does not Pay.

The reason why so many men fail to
make farming a success IL simply be-
cause they fail to make il a business.
They at once conclude that farming
doesn't pay" and then go to work in
such a manner as to utterly exclude the
possibility of It ever paying. As rule
the successful merchant follows no other
but that of trade. The lawyer or ply
sician who attains eminence in his pro-
fession, eeVotss his time, energies and
talent to chat profession. The artisan
who becomes skilled in his calling makes
diligeut use of his time, and works for
the accomplishment of a single purpose,
the master of his loving art. Not only
does this theory hold true to all other
branches of business, but holds true of
farming The successful farmer does
nothing FOR n livelihood but farm IL If
he has money be investsi 1t in way that
will improve bis farm Hs informs him
self as to his business, and goes 10 work
in an intelligent manner Upon such
farms weeds do not stand as high as a
mans head, nor fences neglected, build
inEs dilapidated, farming implements left
exposed to the weather, and stock I'M
sheltered and uncared for, but every
thing denotes thrift and enterprise. It
is really painful to go about the country
and observe the number Of neglected
farms. Pigs, geese, ducks and cattle are
allowed almost unlimitless range. Weeds
render the dooryard. the orchard, the
meadows, even, unsightly. The good
wife in addition to her household cares,
must milk the cows, feed the b ogs, aud
do the "chores" generally. Where aRd
how does he spend his timer He is
across the way hanging on bis neigh
boris fence, talking politics, or he is in
the nearest store or blacksmith shop,
talking gossip. Perhaps he ia ms pired
with desire to make soma money and
is out "huckstering," or what is less
laudable, selling "patent right" that
may be useful or not, just as it happens.
But while he Is earning few dollars
away from home, many dollars are being
lost at home, because it is time to do
spring planting summer harvesting or
fall sowing. Thus the years are passed
and sympathizing ones remark, he is a
clever man, but somehow don't get along
in this world, and all because he owns a
farm, has business, and fails to attend

only relief they ever could expect in life,
would be by an operation, and removing
it or them from the body BY a procedure
which necessitates the knife. This
