A correspondent of the Pioneer Press
writing from Prairie du CHEN, SAYS the
driving park and fair grounds near
that city have passed under a new
management. A mile track is to be
added, which is already partially COM

four years previous. He was born in
Rhode Island and came west in 1913.
He was physician and surgeon'by pro-
fession, and was highly skilled in his
duties. His was kind and benevolent
disposition, never distressing any one
with whom he had business transactions
and oftentimes, in his goodness of heart,
was wrongfully imposed upon by those
who would take undue advantage of
his generosity. He was warm friend
of the poet and scientist, Percival, and
at his house Percival died. DIR. Jenckes
reared fine family, two sons now liv-
ing in the county-H. l.. Jenckes, a

Fennimore moves and the world goes
with it,
Business and progress is the order of
the day, and nearly, all our citizens obey
the order.
The business of our little burg
is good and | think all are prosperous.
We had a rain and snow storm last
night that will set the farmers back a
day or two.
Some blowing is done and som Q
wheat is sown on the prairie. Nearly
all the farmers anticipate an early
spring.
A couple of young men from Mt Ida
township, well known hereabouts were
fined before Esq. Billig, for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. Five dollars
is hardly half of what they will have to
pay next time.
The health of the community is not as
good as in the first part of the winter,
but yet we have but slight reason of
complaint.
Mrs. VIM. Gilman, had a cancer re-
moved from her breast weighing ten
ounces, on last Tuesday, by Dr. Pick
ard, assisted by Drs. McDermott and
Wolf. 1t is said to be pne of the best
and most successful operations ever per-
formed in this part of the country, and
the old lady, between seventy and eighty
years old, is doing splendidly and can
hardly help recovering according to
present indications.
Mr.. Smith, near Werley is In bad
condition, with cancer of mouth, with
no prospect of recovering, but he is
being treated by some doctor from Lam
caster.
Many of our citizens are selling out
and going West. c. d. Smith, has just
returned from an extended trip in Da-
kota, where he was so well pleased that
he bought farm near Flandrau.
Nearly everybody is catching trout on
Green river and its tributaries. BY the
time the law is out ON the Is inst, the
trout will be all taken, and the few hon

fish, as at the present rate of catching
they will all be taken, Some law-abid-
ing sportsman may see best to make
some of them cost ALPHA.

There is no truth in the report that

BeetOwn.

Election passed off quietly with a
small vote polled, and partial change
in former officers.
Three weddings in one week and as
many more promised in the near future
has probably had something to do with
the large emigration from the town dur

Elledge for Sibley, Iowa, of S. Barming-
ham for Minnesota, and various others
for all parts of the country.
Z. A. Morse left upon the 1st to fill a

Birmingham is engaged to teach the

Mrs. John Hill is very i'll, as is also
the youngest child of Mr. John Burns.
l.. D. French, Sr., is again on the
streets after several months sickness.
Business is quite brisk, considering
the roads, and the markets quiet: 'sbak-
ing powders" succumbed to s.bear''
influence for time, but have now OBJ
tanned to their former value, with, how
ever very little demand; glassware
ditto.
There has been some grain sown, but

There is Spike club about to be
formed here. which will probably fur

AN OCToGENARIAN.- Saturday
evening, Mr.. Osmond Paddock died, at
Darlington, aged 80 years. The de-
ceased was well known by all the old
settlers of La Fayette, Grant and Iowa
counties, having settled in Iowa county
in 1886, removing there from Vermont.
He was one of the charter members of
the Masonic Lodge, organized at Min
eral Point in 1887 under dispensation
granted by the Grand Lodge of Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Paddock leaves six children,
all grown, and wife to survive him.
His funeral took place on Tuesday, and
was largely attended. Thus, one by
one, the old settlers pass away, and
while they slumber the ''sleep that
knows no awakening" their good deeds
live after them.
