The principal crop in this country is
grass, more depending on it than any 9TH
er crop. All farmers are aware how diff
ticult it it is to get permanent stand of
any kind of grass. This is caused by con-
tinued grazing, moving or cropping, ex-
hausting certain agencies in the soil, and
without these the grass gives way, the
land becomes bare and is in manner
worthless. Now to overcome this trou-
BILE is to use a new Fertilizer that will
give back to the soil permanent and
lasting benefit, restoring the principal
agencies that is in all good neaO soil. This
Fertilizer is also highly recommended
for all grain especially wheat), root and
vegetable crops, and has given very salts
factory results with many who have used
it the present season on grain, vegetables
and grass. This Fertilizer is offered at
about one-third the price of other good
Fertilizers, and is cleaimed to be equally
as good. Very low figures given to those
who can use it in carload lots. To those
who may wish try this new Fertilizer,
please leave your orders with l.. w. Kin
nison or G. w. Rice, Jackson, o. Call on
them for circulars, prices, terms, SC. l..

most Inc pected death; upon leaving his
wife, he gave her good-by, and little did
she think that it would be the last fare

death in almost . moments time. His
wife noticed him walking towards the
house and but q few rods away and then
she miss him and called the attention
Of the hired man and told him to look for
Ben. and upon the announcement Of the
fact it was the terriblest shock ever
witnessed in this community, IS he had
always been = kind husband and good
neighbor, generous, open hearted, and
always willing to lend his aid in time Of
need, and he leaves hosts of friends to
mour his loss. The funeral took place
at his residence on Wednesday, the Sth.

He was horn near H~alsingburg, Sweden,

He emigrated to this country in 1870,

We loathe to bid 4 last farewell,
To meet thee face to face no more.
Until We meet where angels DIV ell,
Upon that bright aud shining shore.
Ger thy grave Wen scatter flowers,
A meager tribute Of our love,
And think of thee in lonely hours,
Till God shall cxll from heaven above.
One by one the flowers fade
One by one they fall away,
So one by one We all are laid

aged - years.
Mr.. Clark was born in Eastport, Maine.
April 18th, 1914. His early life was spent
on the sea, and tho disease which killed
him, cancer Of the breast, is said to have
been caused by 4 wound inflicted by Il
pirate. For many long years he has
suffered, and for the last few years, en-
crutiating torment. Doubtless death, in
his case, was prefer .ble to life.
The funeral took place Thursday from
the Congregational church, Rev. o. V.
Rice preaching Il ermOn
The deceased was a quiet, unas.uming,
honest man, respected by all who knew
him. In his latter years, his attention
was %engrOssed by his disease, and his
life naturally narrowed down to a des-
perate fight for existence. Struggling as
he did, patiently and with silent herOism.
he was worthy of all commentator.
Peace to his memory.

week; after Charley had treated
them all to water melons they trip
ped the %ight fsntanstic" until the
"wee sma' hours"
We had the pleasure recently of
tasting peaches raised by n. S
Hyatt, and think they are equal to
those raised in the eastern states
Mr.. H. has a fine apple orchard, also
an abundance of small fruit. We
noticed a fine apricot tree he had
raised by grating on the native
plumb. We predict that in a few
years from now Nebraska will rank
as one of the best fruit states.
