TRAER CORRESPONDENCE.

The subject of fine stock has from an
early day been leading one among the
best farmers here, and to such an extent
has it been carried out that scarcely a
scrub can be found. A fine COW or other
animal is just subject of pride. Not
every one has been able to purchase full
blood short horn Yet, few neighbors
would unite together and purchase in
common, and now great improvement
is visible. There are several fine herds
in the settlement, that have been,accumu-
latin for several years. Last summer /
noticed that of West Wilson, Esq. An
other very prominent herd is the Allen
dale the property Of j.. P. Dinsdale 8
Son whose farm is on both sides of the
line of Buckingham and Grant townships
and about six miles northwest of Traer.
Mr.. Dinsdalc settled there in 1864, and
at that time brought the family of sheep
which he has since made specially
Several wears ago, they began purchasing
fine cattle and since then by ample means
and experience have gathered the herd
which IS known as the Allandale. At the
head of the herd stands: Master of Arts
2OS72, allowed to be one of the very best
in the State by competent Judges. There
has not been public sale Of thorough
breds in Northern lama as ittakes a long
time to accumulate sufficient number by
home breeding. These gentlemen having
now an excess of young male animals
will on Thursday March 21st, offer at
public sale nine ranging from 10 to Is
months old. They are all splendid young
animals. This is one Of the best oppor-
tuni;i for farmers and others who wish
to improve their stock which will no
doubt be taken advantage of.

3rd-It is not complicated with cog gears
nor large cams.
4tll-Itis the simplest and best construct
ed machine. ~

ircn OF steel, and SO arranged that
any wear can be taken up simply by the
turn of screw.
6th-lt has steel feed on both sides of
the needle
7th-Its shuttle is comparatively self
threading; made of solid steel, and car
ries larger bobbn than almost any
other family sewing machine. s.,
6th-Its works are all encased and free
from dust, and so arranged that neither
the garment being sewcd, nor the oper-
ator, will become oiled
0th-It has device by which bobbins
can be filled without running the ENTIRE

forthis purpose, as also relieving the
operator of the necessity of removing
the work CT attachments, as is the case
in nearly all other machines.
10th-It is elegantly ornamented and fin
ished, and its cabinet work is unsur-
passed. M

OBITUARY.

Death has again visited our community
and sadness has settled upon a wide cir
Gle of the broken hearted. Mrs. Mary
Johnston. DIETER known to our people by
the more endearing name of mother John
ston) died on Tuesday the 9TH inst, at
about one o'clock p M. at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Yeiser. Her disease
was pronounced by her physicians to be
pneumonia. She was sick buta fegdays,
and it was the first serious sickness of
her life; but she had at first premonition
that she would not survive. But her
premonition did not trouble her She
had no fear Of death, but met it with alb
solute composure, believing IS she did,
without the least mingling of doubt, that
on the other shore she would find only
rest, happiness and peace. e Z.
The deceased was born at Mount
Pleasant, Wcstmoreland Co., Pa. Jan. %,
1912, and had just entered upon the 9th
year CT her age. She resided at the place
OF her birth until the spring of 1872, when
she removed 70 Toledo, Iowa, whittier
most of her children had preceded her,
and where she has since resided. In 1882
she was married to U. s. Johnston, whom
she leaves surviving her. She leaves
also, three sons and six daughters, all but
one of whom live, or have lived in and
about Toledo, and are well known to most
of the readers of the CHRONICLE, the other
being Mrs. Isaac Stauf1er of Mt. Pleasant,
Pa.
Mrs. Johnston united with the U. B.
church at Mt Pleasant Pa. about the
year 1880, of which church she has been
a faithful, devoted and exemplary mem
Der for the last AS years. She was one of
the few who show their faith by their
works, and not by words. She devoted
herlife to the proper rearing of her large
family, and as all but one of her children,
at her request, stood around her death
bed, she looked upon them and called
their names with satisfaction and felt
that she had not lived in vain. IS
OF all the practical and substantial af-
fairs of life Mrs. Johnston was u complete
mistress. She possessed great indepen-
dence of character, and held very decided
convictions on all questions of morality
and duty. But her convictions were fer
her guidance only, for she fully accorded
to others the same liberty of opinion and
action which she exercised for hers elf.
Hence she never found fault and never
disputed with anyone. Unlike most peo-
pie of strong convictions she had no en-
emies, but all who knew her were her
riends. Quiet, devoted, Industrious, pa
tent, unobtrusive. Independent and
blameless, she responded fully to all the
course with joy, she has gone to her re-
ward. A motLer has gone-gone from
the home, from the Church which she so
ardently loved, and from the community.
Her presence will be missed, but her ex
ample, her loving and gentle words viii
ever live in the memories of her devoted
husband and children. A vacsncy has
been made truly no human friend can fiji
May the divine friend and Saviour give
comfort in this time of sadness, and may
all heed the parting admonition of the
mother who has gene on before, 10 fol
low the Saviour and be good children of
the Father above.

so kindly assisted us in our departure.
We would tender them our sincere thanks.

We passed on and as night was at hand
we knew nothing only that we were being

Cabooscs. There we began to fall in
company with others who were going to
different parts of Nebraska.
The first object of interest that attract
ed our attention when daylight came was
the large amount of corn cribbed at the
various stations along the road. The
pile. that lay at Toledo last year, are lost
in smallness in the comparison.
