OBITUARY.

At O'Clock on the evening of the 9th inst. the
neighbors and friends were sOlemnly impressed |
by the sad intelligence of the death of Mr.. WAT
SON BAKER A post mortem examination, by DIR.
NJ. Borst, found a tumor of three pounds weight,
lying in the pit of the stomach, connected by
lining to the liver. The internal organs were
much diseased from the effects of this tumor, which
caused his death. He has been subject to poor
spells for years. which his friends supposed to be
neuralgia of the stomach. He has been confined
to the house and his bed since last Christmas, but
kept his right mind until within five daysof his
death, when he seemed to become paralized. since
which time he never spoke but few words or
swallowed any food, but two or three teaspoon
fuls of water. He knew that his death was evil
dent and made all the arran gements for his burial
and funeral; was resignedto what was sent upon
him, feeling that God doeth all things well. He
said God governed this physical world by fxed
laws that were good, and that he knew that the
after life was governed by fixed spiritual laws that
were good, and that no matter what we believed,
we could not change God and His wise govern
ment. But that could change ourselves,
| to live in harmony with the laws of God, and
thereby reap our reward or punishment, as We de-
served. Rev. Mr. Fields, spiritualist of Jewell
county, Kansas preached his funeral from the 25th
| and Goth verses of the 18th chapter OF st. john
Mr.. Baker was born in Ross county, Ohio, Oct.
29th, 1911, and moved with his parents to Fayette
county, Ohio, when quite young man. When
| of Fayette county, Ohio, who survives him. The
result of this marriage twelve children, eight
of whom are living, and are all married and set
tied in life. Three sons and two daughters settled
near his farm in Smith county, Kansas, and three
daughters in Holt county, Mo. He spent about IL
years of his life, with his family, in Howard coun
ty, Indiana, and improved a farm in the big woods
of that county. From thence he moved, during
the late civil war, to Holt county, Missouri, where
he resided until four years ago. On April l, 1875
he started for Smith county, Kansas, since which
time he has lived on his beautiful farm on oal
creek, in Lincoln township. He has been highly
pleased with Smith county from the first, anC
thought Kansas was destined to make grea
State. He has passed through many trying vicis-
itudes; had done much hard work in the way O.
! subduing the earth and rendering 1t inhabitabl
!. by man. He was an excellent citizen; exercised
l beneficial influence over those around him, and 1
the neighborhood in which he lived, and his fami
y keenly realize the great loss they have suitaine
:. by his death. May we meet him in heaven.

beautiful beyond description, the fabric
excellent, and the prices -Fovv5 ei1nt- to

They are fully alive to the fact that goods
must be sold at low prices to command
the attention of cash buyers; and having
determined to sell goods for cash only, will
always be found at the very bottom in
prices. They ask persons desiring to pur-
chase Spring goods to give their stock a
careful examination, and thereby consult
their own interest.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
Celebration OF the FIFtieth Wedding
AnniVersarYeof Rev. and Mrs. s. y

\
One of those social events which are of
rare occurrence in any community, and
the first of the kind that has ever occur
red in Washington society, and, We be-
lieve, in the county-a golden wedding
took place on Wednesday evening of last
week. On that evening Rev. and Mrs.
S. j. Miller celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of their marriage, at their resi-
dence in this place.
No invitations were issued, but it was
announced in the home papers of the pre-
vious week, and also in the Cincinnati
Gazette, that they would celebrate their
anniversary, and hold reception on that
evening from eight until eleven O'Clock,
during which time they would be pleased
to see their friends who would enjoy call
ing.
The position occupied by the yenera-
BILE couple in the hearts of this commu-
nifty, in which Mr.. Miller served so long
and aeceptabIy as a minister, rendered
the occasion one of especial interest, and
the number who were present to tender
their congratulations and sincere good
wishes, was very large; over two hundred
persons were in attendance. But the ar
rangements for the entertainment of
so large a company were most complete,
and everything passed off as pleasantly
as could be wished.
The rooms were decorated with ever
green's hanging in graceful festoons, to-
gether with many pot-plants and severa
baskets of handsome flowers, gifts from
friends. On the parlor wall in ever
green letters were the words "Hitherto
hath the Lord helped u.s." and above
them the date 1929 in white roses. 1t wal
intended to place beneath, the date 1879
in autumn leaves, but owing to the stupid
ity of Cincinnati florist the figures wer
so packed that it was impossible to ffnt
them. The absence of the date was tn
only disappointment in all the arrange
ments for the occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller occupied sofa il
, their parlor, to receive their friends.
Each of the guests was presente
with a beautiful badge Of broad whit
: satin ribbon, upon which were en-
bossed in gold monogram the initials F
. and M. and above it the figures 1929, ant
: below the figures 1879.
II After most of the company had assem-
bled, Rev. Frank Miller announce
Il prayer by Rev. Mr.. Galbreath, which wa
+ followed by the reading of some passage
# of scripture by Rev. Norman Jones.
l. Rev. Frank Miller then read extrac
;. from letters received from friends of tt
1t family who were unable to be in attent
le ance, but desired to present their col
gratulations. We are permitted to NAL
at extracts from some of these letters, whiC
10 we give below:
