MRS. W. II. HUBBARD.

The Canton (Dak.) Advocate OF recent date
announces the death OF Mrs. Hubbard at her
home in that town on Dec. 10, 1887, of pneu-
monia, aged ~ years, and says: "Mr. and Mrs.
Hubbard located near Fairview in 1862 com.
ing direct from Burlington, VT. They braved
the storms OF rigid winters, the hardships of
pioneer lite and the grasshopper plague, yet
might always have been found looking upon
the bright side, and taking the wide world as it
might come. For fifty years their lives have
been interviewer, and the parting comes all
the harder. Mrs. Hubbard was n devout
Christian, and died strong in the faith. She
was an Episcopa! com"unicant, and her last
words, after bidding good .bye to her family,
were repeating the beautiful prayer tor the
sick, of the Episcopal service. The household
that is thus broken up will forever cherish the
tender memories and Kindness OF a Christian
mother, and the true ring OF genuine sympa
thy Is heard tor those who remain" Mr.. and
Mrs. Hubbard were tor many years residents
of Middlebuly, and some of our older inhabI
tants who knew her will endorse all that has
been said above in regard to her Christian
character.

They are all good men; the city is full of them, and so is the country. There is everywhere in this grand open country & sense of amplitude and greatness and freedom that is refreshing.

In one of the coming summer days the Mis- souri Pacific cars will roll into Ness City, and there will be general jubilee.

D. NJ. Potter, of the hardware firm of Fleming & Potter, Is one of the representative young merchants of the city, and belongs to firm that has made an enviable mercantile record here in the last four ears, rising from the humble estate of modest shop keepers to a ranking mercantile posi- tion with heavily stocked establish ment that would honor metropolitan city. Mir. Potter is young Pennsyl- vanian of fine practical sense, good executive qualities, kindly social na- ture and marked public spirit, and from early to late has taken a strong hand in building up his adopted town.
 A. F. Kirberg, of the well-known real estate and loan firm of Frank L.. Miller & Co.,, is a quiet, candid, un- pretentious, but thoroughly intelli- gent and effective worker for the city and county. He came here from Illi- nois in '7S, broken in health, and has taken hand at merchandising, ranch ing and milling, and has "brought up" in Ness City with prime health, some good farms, valuable town property, capital spirits and a good business. He is a bright, we'll trained, reliable business man, always and everywhere a gentleman, and swears by the coun- try.
 Last, but not least, comes Chas. F. Whitmore, not Ness City business man, but prince of fcommercial tour ists, whose headquarters are at the handsome, homelike Calhoun House, and who may safely be called a Ness City "boomer," because he never loses an opportunity to say a good word for the town.

They gave little attention to law, but organized the Continental Investment Company, assumed the role of financiers and have since been very successful money lenders, their investments for eastern friends and on personal account, cover ing many thousands of dollars and making an exhibit of safe and profit able financiering that would do credit to the average bank manager.
 MT. Burton is especially gifted in this line of work, has withdrawn from the journalistic field and will hereafter devote his time and talent to financiering and the practice of his profession, for which bis generous culture, keen practical sense, quick perception, capital executive and man. agerial gifts and liberal knowledge of the world, eminently fit him.
 Philo c. Black, law and financial partner of MT. Burton, and his class mate at Yale and Columbia, is also a licentiate of the New York Supreme and Federal courts, native of Illinois and son of Henry F. Black, one of the wealthy pioneer lumbermen of the Mississippi valley. In college, at the bar, in journalistic work, in the loan and investment field, and the new role of Kansas boomer, MT. Black has been the companion, friend, peer and co-worker of MT. Burton, display ing in strong light the liberal scholar ship, practical sense, fine working and social qualities, untiring industry and sterling character that make him a strong man among men. Both are courteous, candid, chivalrous gentle men, and both active members ot the Board of Trade and growing men in this new land of their adoption.
 John M. Pearce, Jr., member of the hardware firm of Pearce x Fisher, and a son of Hon. John J. Pearce, ex- member of congress from Pennsyl- vania, took his college honors at Will transport, Pa., and was educated for the law. Failing health necessitated CuduSe Ol WOFk auu Cuuldte, duu lie recently settled down to mercantile life in Ness City, where he is greatly esteemed for his culture, courtesy, candor, genial, social ways, high char acter and manly bearing. Mir. Pearce is young gentleman of fine sensibili- ties and high ideals, is already well identified with the best interests of the city, to whose social and commer- cial force he is valuable acquisition, and is delighted with the climate, country and people.
 J. M. Morrow, of the real estate firm of Dowlin X Morrow, though comparatively new to Ness City, is one ot it's bright, ambitious, progress i've and working young men, and is about as sure to "get there" as he is of living. He is a Buckeye by birth, and by training western man, with nerve, working gifts, congenial, social ways and other sterling qualities to give him vantage ground in any west ern community. He likes the busy lite of Ness City, and is one of its rep resentative young men.

 As they entered the broad hall, the old man peered about anxiously, as though surprised at not finding at least one hall-boy on duty. He swung the parlor door open, and ushered the guests in with the air of man who resumes once familiar duties under stress of peculiar circumstances.
 Ascending to the second story with the cards, he presented them to his mistress with the free comment that "They looks like our kind of folks,- quality folks,-Miss Marg'ret, so 1 jest put my bes' fut forrards.
 Presently he reappeared at the door If the parlcr, and announced, Miss Delplaine be down presently, sah," his white head lowing low meanwhile.

 "I like to unloose him if knowed was shore l could get him hitched again." he soliloquized. "'Sides dat, aipt so shore got anything to feed him 'cep' grass, an he don look like a horse wat been raised on grass, nuther."
 Painfully the old man crept to the loft, and thankfully gathered and threw down a little hay which he found there, ruthlessly robbing a hen of her nest in his eagerness to get enough.
 Now, dat dar's 'complished satis- factory, l like ter know how long dey purposes ter stay. Hope ter goodness Miss Marg'ret ain't goin' asst 'em to stay to dinner"
 He locked the door of the stable, and hurried back to the house. "If dey does stay dere ain't DO reck- onin' on wat Miss Marg'ret goin' do, de dignerty ob de house got ter be kep' up. but blest if knows how dis timeo
 Uncle Sunday had spent most of the latter years of his life in keeping up the dignity of the house." Born on the estate in the days when slavery was an institution still tolerated in New York, though very rare, he had spent his youth in that happy idle ness which young masters valley" looked back upon from his eminence of four score years as the veritable age of gold. He had accompanied his charge to college, assisted in the pranks and honors of that far-away time, and was rewarded with the hon. orable post of butler.
 Years passed. The master married, was a father, grew old, and died, commenting with his dying breath the care of his orphan daughter to the servant who had been so. faithful to him.
