CATLIN'S TOBACCO-It gives us
much pleasure to be able to state-and
1--WE know whereof we speak, - that
consumers can buy a really choice arti-
Gle of Fine Cut Chewing Tobacco from
Lancaster dealers. Ivey & Webb, j.
A. Drew, Wenzel & Auchter, and Joe
Nathan, have laid in stock of Catlin's
golden THREAD" which we have
''tried our mettle' on and can honestly
say is a rich fullbodied lasting chew
that does not 60 to peices in the mouth
and from its durability will prove an
actually cheaper chew than lower priced
goods. The same dealers, and also
Messrs. JnO. Schreiner and G. j. HYDE,
have a stock of Catlins "MEERCHAUM'
Smoking Tobacco. ''Meerschaum' is
choice granulated goods made from old
North Carolina leaf. 1t does not bite
the tongue, is Itch, pleasant smoke.
and is retailed at the very reasonable
price OF ten cents quarter pound. Mr..
Heldcroft the agent of the company,
says that during nearly thirty years the
Catlin Tobacco Company and its i'm
mediate predecessor, Daniel Catlln, of
st. Louis. have never given alleged
gifts or prizes of any kind to force the
sale of their brands, but aim to place
the best article that can be made before
the consumer at the lowest possible
price, and trust solely to the merits of
it tor popularity. The Catlin Tobacco
Com pany is the largest fine cut chew
ing and smoking establishment in the
United States.

bravery peculiar facility for making

Tier sex, and at sight of him children
were drawn toward him by his genial
demeanor. and they chung to him as
brother. He was man of more than
average generosity, and his ministra-
tons of help and comfort to the needy
and distressed will never be forgotten
by them. His deeds will live after him.
The world cannot but be made better
by the life of such man AS small

BARNETT.

DIED.-At the residence of his brother John
Barnett, Independence Iowa. Sunday morning
July q, 1884, Thomas Barnett, aged IS years.
The Cedar Falls 1owa) journal, of
which Thomas w. Bishop is editor,
published the following tribute to the
memory of the late Lieut. Barnett: De-
ceased was born at Brookville, Pa, in
March, 1898. His father and mother
came west in 1917, and located in Lam
caster, Grant county, Wisconsin. That
part of the state was more thickly set
tied at that time than any other, thou
sands having been drawn thither by the
discovery of the lead times, aud here
the elder Barnett was one of the pioneer
landlords of the Badger State. In 1861,
when the first call was made for troops,
Tom Gas he was Familiarity KNOWN was
one of the first to respond, enlisting in
what afterward became Co c., of the
Second Wisconsin Infantry. This
company. it will be remembered by
those conversant with the incidents of
Camp Randall IN those lays, brought
TO the grounds banner Inscribed,
Lead is King, Not Cotton. He was
in all the battles of the army of the Po-
tomac until after Antletam, when for
meritorious conduct he was promoted
to Lieutenancy and assigned to Com
pany &, of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin
Infantry, and with detachment or
dered to the Northwest. He and his
comrades reported at Mankato. Mimi,
where they took charge of SO Indians
who had been convicted of participant
ing in the celebrated New Ulm mas.a-
ere. In December, after the execution
of the Indians, he and his command
were ordered south and participated in
siege of Vicksburg. under General
Grant. After the war he returned to
his old home, but shortly after located
at Independence, this State. where for
number of years he was very success
fui business man and acquired consid- !
cradle property, on the income of which
he retired from active pursuits about |
two years ago.
1t was our good fortune to be init
mately acquainted with MIR. Barnett |

Wisconsin is the best that is the ver-
dict of Mr.. Ferguson. of Scholastic Co.,

the northwestern states and territories;
best creameries, best water, best for
grazing, best for farming, best for every
thing. Mr. Ferguson and wife have
been visiting with the Humphreys tor
some time. They will return to their
eastern home this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tandy, of Kentucky,
are with us, visiting with their son
George Tandy, of our village.
Boys be careful how you light as this
is the time of year for the usual crop of
broken limbs, by reason of falls from
apple trees. 1t was Willie, second son
of DR.. Sloat that had his arm broken a
few days ago by falling from an apple
tree.
BE careful now you handle your re-
yolvers. 1t was not A. +. StorrS, of
Mount Hope, this time, but Fred Petit,
of Mount Ida, that got hole punched
through his hand by the accidental dis
charge of revolver The rabbit didn't
get hurt.
A little daughter of Thomas Waller
received serious wound in the head,
recently, but the scythe is not injured in
the least. Parents will do well to re-
member that scythes and children should
not be allowed to play together
The harvest work is being pushed
forward with energy, and there will not
be much grain standing by the last of
this week.

The property boom seems to have
struck Fennimore, and houses and
land are changing hands rapidly. JON
athan Walker has purchased the prop
erty formerly owned by jeff Varrell.
The landlord of the Vedder House, Mr..
jeff Vedder, has purchased the Varrel
Hotel and expects to occupy it within
two or three months. The "Vedder''
under Jeff's management has become
favorite resort for the travelling pub
lie; and we imagine that when he gets
into the large building he will outdo
himself.
Mr.. Ii. II. Hampton, the popular mer-
chant and butcher, has purchased the
''Vedder House" from Mr.. J. Vedder
and we understand intends to convert
side room. He will also enlarge 1t and
occupy the rear and upper portion as
residence. Mr.. Hampton's market trade
has increased until at the present time
he is killing on an average of three
beeves week. which we call pretty
good for town of Fennimore's size.
Next among the fortunate and happy
purchasers of real estate is Mr.. Chas.
A. Wilson the banker. who has bought
the residence belonging TO the Fisher
estate. The location is good, and the
business way in which Mr. Wilson
proceeds to let contracts for improving
the property. indicates that he will
eventually have one of the best resi-
dences in the village. Fennimore has
been especially fortunate in securing
Mr.. Wilson as resident. We are in
formed that the price paid for the prop
erty was 5000.

been teaching. and win spend this

When martyred flowers breath ont their little

Sweet song that once consoled our pain,
But never will be sung TO again,
Is thy remembrance: now the home OF rest
Hath come to thee Mile. Sleep, dear sister, it

With sorrowful heart we pen the
record of one whose early death has
left an aching void which no other
presence can ever fill Kind parents
and loving sisters are left to mourn her
loss. After struggling three long
months with that most deceptive dis
ease, quick consumption, with life in all
its brightness just begun, she at last
faltered, and the angels took her home.
She was very kind and patient during
her sickness. She often spoke of dying,
telling her friends she was prepared to
die. She had no fear of death. While
on her death bed she had often sung
sweet hymns OF Jesus, the last one was
Jesus Loyer'of My Soul" When the
dying hour came weeping parents and
sisters gathered around the bed, she
told them not to weep for her. Her
spirit passed sweetly away without a
struggle.
Then why should our tears in sorrow flo

And bids her leave world of woe,
For an immortal crowng

Whose life to God was given:
Gladly to earth her eyes she closed,
To open them in heaven.
Her tolls are past, her work is done,
And she is fully blest
She fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest,
Then let our sorrows cease to flow;
