THE PHILLIPS FURNITURE FAC
TOpT

TIE PHILLIPS FURNITURE Fac
TORY
One of the institutions in the possession
of which Kenosha has reason to rejoice is
the Phillips Furniture Company. This
Company began work here two years ago
this present month, under the general direc-
ton Of Mr.. Leonard Lee as Vice-President
Of the Company. Under his efficient man
agement, they have been grs dually enlarging
their business ever since. 1t is not the con-
stantly increasing quantity of work which
they are sending out, however. in which the
community is principally interested although
that is an item of no small account in pro-
noting the general prosperity. It is the
quality of the work which challenges our
admiration.
A sample of their work in new line may
now be seen in the pews of the new NJ. E.
church. For beauty of design, for elegance
of finish. for the ease and comfort of an au-
dience nodding through "Seventhly, we do
not believe they can be surpassed in Wis
consin. The height, the pitch, the curve of
the back, the turn of the arm, are all Just
what everybody has been looking for in
church pew, but so far as we can learn have
never found before. Great credit is due to
Mr.. M. L. Armstrong, the superintendent,
under whose direction this work was de-
signed and excepted Also to Mr.. James
Wallis, who has had the entire charge of the
bench work and the setting up Of the pews,
and to Mr.. Curtis Bellies, to whose skill as
finisher they bear testimony which cannot
be called in question.
These pews will be placed in the church
this week, and those who are prompt in at
tendance at the concert on Saturday evening
will have an opportunity to see their beauty
and test their qualities while they enjoy an
entertainment which it is expected will be
equal to any that has been given in Kenosha
for many day

THE CITY EDITOR AS AN AGRE
CULTURAL WRITER.

In the Chicago Times of last week one of
brain in range upon the subject of finding q
substitute for corn. He casually mentions
peas, sorghum and fax seed as promising,
but as clincher fixes upon turnips Says
g That English farmers demonstrated their
value long before America was discovered
that the excellence Of English mutton is
largely due to turnips.' etc., etc.
How lucky that he did not advocate feed
ing pineapples to sheep, which would be
about as available as turnips.
In his zeal to enlighten farmers he has en-
tirely overlooked the slight difference in the
climate of England and the corn-producing
parts Of America The first, with an atmos-
phere cool and moist-clouds, fogs and gentle
showers being tie rule and not the excep-
tion-while here the earth is battered and
compacted bylthHnder storm, hail and cyclone.
These, followed by days, weeks and some
times months Of heat and glaring sunshine,
which bakes and cracks the earth several
feet in depth.
Does he not know that the turnip is mostly
surface feeder, living upon the atmos-
phere and surface moisture
Possibly he has never seen turnip.
Had he ever tried to raise them, or OBJ
served others who have repeatedly tried
them, he would have known at this late day
that what with drouth and insect enemies,
he could not on the average raise one crop
in six years which would pay for the trouble
Of cultivation.
Again he says: As population increases,
labor will become cheaper" forgetting the
fact that wages have been steadily advance
ing since the west was first settled.
But to return to his dish of turnips.
The English farmers, whom he wishes to
emulate. practice winter feeding of turnips
by inclosing part of the field in net and
herding the sheep on it until the turnips are
eaten, then moving the same Just imagine
this 81 city Teller herding sheep on bleak
hillside in January, thermometer zero
ground frozen four feet, and foot Of snow
above that The tnrnips would doubtless
last until spring, but we have grave doubts
about the man and the sheep.
Verify, farmers are longsufering people
to allow such scrihbler to run al large

OBITUARY..

The remains of Mrs. Katie Hull, the niece
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. Hull, of this city, and
the beloved wife of Mr.. Frank Hull, of Chi.
cago, were brought here for burial on Thanks
giving. The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. r. Miller. Only the relatives
and immediate friends followed the body to
it's last resting place. The young wife, de-
voted companion, kind neighbor and genial
friend was called away very suddenly from
happy home. She leaves three small chill
dren who sadly need a mother care and love.
The youngest is an infant less than week
old. It seems strangely mysterious that one
SO needful to that family should be taken
away so quickly. This fact touched the
hearts of all the large circle Of friends, and
made the burial services all the more tender
and sacred.
"God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly
What he has given;
They live on earth in thought and deed as truly
AS in his Heaven"

The Southern Representatives in the

more than necessary to a choice; and
of these the South cast Y. Tremen-

Louisiana and Texas for Randall, but
the three states gave him only three
votes. This is more significant from
the fact that the States are against free
trade, but sectional feeling proved
