MANTUA.


The busy season of haying and harvesting.
which has now closed. has afforded little time
and opportunity for the collection Of news items,
from this locality, The bountiful crops of grain
and hay were generally secured in good order,
and the frequent rains have SO promoted the
growth of corn and potatoes, that excellent
crops are anticipated. Other farm products
are plenty enough. but prices are too low to be
remunerative, ,'and the honest and hard working
Granger. whose purse Oyer1Ows to any great
extent. will be an anomaly. The threshing ma
chine has been heard for = couple of weeks. oats
giving q fair yield, and wheat rather moro than
usual. some fields as high as 30 bushels per acre.
Two deaths have recently occurred. both at
Mantua Corners-Mr. Webster Wayne. an old
resident for IS years, ON Sunday. July q. aged
q years, and Mr.. Henry Davis. on Saturday.
Aug. ID, aged about GO years. Mr.. Wayne came
here from New York State in 1888. and for many
years worked as a carpenter and joiner. bnt
finally became a farmer. and by honest toll and
industry. secured large farm. which he i'm
proved. and occupied. until q few years ago,
when the increasing infrmities Of old age caus-
ed him to reliEquish the care Of it to his son.
His last days were spent on q small farm near
the Corners. on which he built a neat and CON-
Portable dwelling, devoting much of his time to
the care of bees, managing them with great
success and profit. In his death, our township
has lost - respected citizen. and the II. E. Church
one of its principal supports. while his family

the funeral on Tuesday. q large concOurse Of our
citizens being present to testify their respect for
the memory of the deceased. Mr.. Davis had
not long resided In the town. only about two
years. and having long been an invalid. was
but little known. His suneriings were mitiga-
ted. and his Affections were much relieved by
| the brotherly kindness and sympathy of the
Odd Fellows in this vicinity. to which Order he
| belonged. His remains were taken to Erie Pa
for interment. He leaves q wife and one son.
The yearly meeting Of Spiritualists was held
at the Station.as usual. large numbers being
present, and much interest manifested The
speakers were Fishback, of st. Louis; Pope, OF
Chicago, Underhill, of Akron. and others. The
closing poem and prayer, by a sweet little girl
of six years, was wonder to all. and secured
