Lawrence, aged two years, youngest
child of C. n Beiseker, died of whooping
cough last Thursday, after an illness of
about three weeks. Saturday the little
form in its tiny white casket was borne
away to the cemetery by sorrowing
parents and sympathizing friends.
We are glad to note the advancement
Of our young friend, Henry Judson. He
is now associated with the Bank at Morris
as Cashier. He writes splendid hand,
and his business ability must be equally
good, else the important position he now
holds would not have been given him..
Mrs. Florence Holway, teacher in art,
is still giving the best of satisfaction to
her large class in oil painting. All who
wish to avail themselves Of this rare op-
portunity should at once arrange for a
term Of lessons as Mrs. Holway has not
decided to remain in Austin longer than
the autumn months.

faithful men appreciated

! james Pace, young man of Lyle
township, while oiling the machinery
connected with horsepower, unfortu-
nately met with quite serious accident.
Some Of the cog wheels laid hold of his
left hand with their crushing mighty grip
and the consequences were that Saturday
the young man came to Austin and Drs.

| "A device for holding hats in church
or other places has been patented by Mr..
John II. Burns, of Springf III. A
clip composed of two plates pivoted to
each other, their lower ends being held
together by a spring coiled around the
| pivot, is hinged to bar that is pivoted
to plate adapted to be secured to the
back of chair or church pew.-Er.
Now for device which will hold the
heads of sleepy deacons, and compel the
women to look at the preacher rather
t han at the newest bonnets.
Phil is gone for two weeks visit in
the country. We do not mean Phil Sher-
idan, but Phil Short, our devil and gen.
eral boss. Like the celebrated general
Phil is small and active, being able to set
type and gradually surround an enor-
nous watermelon at the same time. We
miss the cheerful laughter, roguish ques-
tons, and most of all, the deft and willing
hands of our faithful boy. The compos-
ing room is lonesome, and we want Phil
back as soon as his we'll earned vacation
is over.
"A letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Geer,
who moved from Lansing few weeks
lago, informs us that she is nicely settled
in her new home, ten miles from Sleepy
Eye and five miles from Iberia. The sad
ness of leaving friends in Lansing is nit
igated by the meeting of few cherished
friends of long ago, where she now is.
Mrs. Geer reports better crop in that
part of the state than at any time since
the grasshopper scourge. We are sure
that her friends will be pleased to know
that she arrived safe and is well.
