The interior of the NJ. E. Church of
this city has been undergoing most thor
ough repairs within the past few weeks

visitors would recognize their former
place of worship. The walls are artistic

handsomely decorated in the latest and
most approved manner, new carpet for
the entire audience has been furnished
room, new windows with an excellent
imitation of stained glass. have been
put in altogether making the Methodist
chapel a most desirable and well fitted
place for Christian worship. We love to
see the house of God kept in good repair

rest always comes after toll They are
out of debt, have as pleasant and comfor-
table an Audience room as any church in

j. Lawrence, formerly a resident of
this city, but now of Grand Meadow, was
in this city the first Of the week. He is
now selling machinery in that town and
says the farmers in that section are largely
engaged in stock raising, and the result is
very encouraging. Three years ago they
were unable to pay anything down when
they purchased machinery, but last year
they paid about 0ne-half cash when the
machinery was purchased, and this sea-
son they pay fully four-fifths when they
make their purchases. He spoke of one
farmer in particular who has farm Of be-
tween 400 and 500 acres, was $4,000 in
and he Immediately went into raising
stock, and has cleared over SIS, 900 on cat
tie since that time. The larger farmers
raise mostly cattle, while the smaller far
mers raise hogs. The larger farmer turns
off from 20 to 40 head of cattle each year.
A farmer brought in IA steers few days
since, and received $4,000 for them. He
says their county is especially adapted to
stock raising and dairying, and they
now have creamery at their place
that makes from $50 to 800 pounds OF
butter per day. He thinks the country
around Grand Meadow will be the best in
the state, as all new corners are substap-
tial men, and will help develop the re.
sources of the c0unty.-RocAester Record
and Union.
FLIES AND BUGS: Flies. reaches, ants

last Tuesday, May Goth, Daniel Brown
Mr.. Brown came to this city last Decem.
Der from Sun Prairie, Wis, where he had
resided 81 years. He, with his wife, came
to spend the remainder of their days neal
the home of their daughter, Mrs. George
Baird, but how soon our plans can meet
with changes. Mr.. Brown and his twir
brother were born in Oxford, Mass, ir
1908, and wree Is years of age in March
He was the father of II children, s Of
whom are living. Had been married
twice, and has two children living by the

two months. Hamlet Brown, his onl,
son, is we'll known to many Of the oldei
residents Of Austin, and resides at Lo
| Angeles, Cal. His twin brother is still
living, and is q resident of Lincoln, Neb
Mr.. Brown was an active, earnest Chris
tian, and member Of the Methods
church. His life was an example of kim
words. of generous deeds, full of CHART,
for all and malice towards none. For tn
aged wife, whose married life of half
century has been so blessed, we can fee
only the tenderest sympathy. The wa,
will be lonely, but the hope of happ;
reunion at the end will help to brightei
her path down to the end of the journey
And while his children mourn the loss
they can but feel thankful that with tina
beloved father is peace. and rest, an
victory. Rev. E. r. Lathrop conducte
