THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

Dakota. as we'll as Minnesota, delights
to advertise its genial weather, as will

which we cut from the st. Paul Globe:

their old-time pluck and dash in their

They scored a point on the James river

themselves with their straw hats as
they painted in the shade, and the chill
dren fr0licked about ice cream stands.
The only feature lacking for a striking
picture was q bathing scene in the rip.

easily, or the mosquitoes too numer-

OBITUARY.

YNCH-Dfed, on Thursday Dec. 49, 1888.
IL Miss Mary A. Lynch, aged IS years
Miss Mary A. Lynch was born in Greenville,
Augusta County, Virginia, Sept Is, 1881. She
! was the oldest OF family Of six children.
When she was hye years of age her father re.
moved with his family to Fayette, Howard
| county, Maryland.
The schools OF that place was for that day of a
very high order. Here Miss Lynch was not
| only well grounded in the rudiments of a good
English education. but she completed, with
great credit to herself, a very fair High School
course of study. At the age Of nineteen her
mother died suddenly Of pneumonia. A few
weeks after her mothers death. her father. who
had struggled hard IN that new country to sup.
port and educate his family and who was in
very moderate circumstances, started by over
land route to California to engage in mining, and
taking with him his Oldest sen. in the hope of
being able soon to make ample provision for
his family, but in this he was disappointed.
Miss Lynch was thus eft at the age of nineteen
with family OF three sisters and baby brother
to care for. One half Of each dry she set apart
to teach the children. and tie other half day
was spent in making for them the best provi-
sion possible.
In the summer Of 1855, after her father had
returned and taken charge Of the family. Miss
Lynch made visit to her mothers only surviv.
ing brother, James A. Hail. at Knightstown, Ind,
with whom she made her home till his death
In 1873.
Miss Lynch was q natural born teacher, and
had chosen that as her life work. For the pur-
pose of more fully fitting herself for the work,
she WENT as a student, In September, 1856, to
Dunlapville Presbyterial Academy, OF which DR..
II. b. Abbot, now OF Albert Lea College was
then president In substituting for = sick teach
er, she displayed such tact. skill and ability
that IN January following the was put in charge
OF one department Of the Academy. Here she
taught one year. The following she taught with
marked success at Greenfield, Ind, with Rev
David Monf0rt. In the fall of 1858, she went
as teacher to Brookville. Ind. with Dr. Alb.
bot. Here she remained three years and then
resigned to accept . position as teacher in the
Female College, DR.. SCOTS, of Oxford, Ohio,
In 1854. she resigned this position to accept q
similar one In Cooper Female Seminary, of
Dayton, Ohio. which position she filled with
marked ability and success for nine years, or
till 1913 Her resignation here as elsewhere
was reluctantly accepted.

To My Friends;
Last June l went to Iowa to visit
my people, and in hope Of benefittjng
my health. Fearing that should not
be able to return to Kansas I gave di-
rection in reference to sending my body
home for burial.
For two years my health has been

Ting in my bowels. Hearing Hbibard' g
Rheumatic Syrup spoken of so highly,
wherever I went. 1 began taking it,
with beneficial results from the COM

1t appeared to reach the seat of the
disease, regulated my bowels, gave me
good appetite, and invigorated my
whole system. 1t is a wonderful
medicine.
