rolled up and great beads of sweat upon
his brow, but he appeared to be as
happy as clam. He has all the work
he can possibly do and very often has
to send send some to other shops. He
is well liked here and is very popular
with all with whom he comes in con-
tact
j. III. Chambers has all he can do in
his photograph gallery. He is one of
the very best of artists in this country
and his prices are within the reach Of
all.
There are several other places of
business we would like to mention but
time and space viii not permit us to do
so except that j. M. Chambers, the
photographer, is doing some of the
finest work in his line that has ever
been our good fortune to cast eyes upon

In MemOrIam.

The sad news of the death OF Miss
Inez Lamson, at Minneapolis, Colorado,
June 14th, was received here with
heartfelt sorrow. She was the second
daughter of Mr.. G. Lamson, former
well known resident of Grant County,
and one of Beetown's early settlers.
Three years ago the family moved 10
Kansas. Subsequently they made a
home in Colorado, whore they fondly
hoped the climate would restore the
health of their beloved Irez. Alas!
how delusive is hope When consumption
has sown its deadly seed. Its progress,
though often imperceptible to the VIC
tim, is ever sure. Slowly the dear girl
faded. Suffering much. but bearing
all with patience. The hopes renewed
were soon dispelled as the morning
mist. Like rare exotic transplanted
to colder cline, she withered and
died. Inly thought much of her Wis
consin friends, and often in her last
illness, expressed desire to see them.
She made many friends in her new
home. where early death is deeply de-
plored. To her school mates here, her
teachers, the old neighbors and friends
who had known her since her birth, the
sad message brought many a starting
tear, many throb of loving, tender
sympathy for the bereaved family.
We can imagine them in their western
home. watching over their dropping
flower, smoothing the pathway to the
tomb by all that human love could sug.
gest. Had she lived antil the oath inst
she would have completed her 22nd
year. b. ID.

The summer trade here has been and
still is very good
The grist mill is in good repair and
and the way the grists come into the
mill we should think that the pro
prietor, G. E. Taylor, hadi all that he
could possibly do. We hope that his
trade may increase to such an extent
that he will be compelled to put up
an addition TO his already extensive
mills.

e olford will retire from the office with
the satisfaction of knowing that they
have given the people of West Grant

wish the boys abundant success in
whatever business they may embark for
they are both gentlemen in all that the
word implies.

Geo. E. Ward was the delegate from

The School Board have, after much
careful elaboration, decided upon the
full corps of teachers for the coming
year. The Principal will be Clyde r.
Showalter, of Cassville. His record, in
connection with the High School and
Normal Review, is the very best. His
life work is to be teaching, and he has
entered upon it with the energy and de-
termination that will insure success.
His assistant, Mr.. johnson, of Gutten-
burg, Iowa, will have charge of the Ian
guages; and although a stranger in this
place, his reputation as a teacher is
sufficiently well known to guarantee
that his work will be satisfactory.
Misses Wilkinson, Finn and Woodward
return, and Miss Warwick, of Bloom
| ington, Misses Ida Buchner and Flora
Rothschild, of Lancaster, fill the posi-
tions left vacant. The new teachers
are only new to this school. They have
all had experience and success in other
places.
L. B. Wildman, nephew of G. Y. Bo

in refusing to quit work after accident,
and remained at his post all night
This is the young man whom, it will be
remembered, received life sentence in
penitentiary for crime his wife com
mitted. He refused to testify against
her and was convicted upon the charge
himself, his wife escaping on the plea o.
insanity. He was recently pardoned by
Gov. Larabee through the efforts of his
uncle, G. Y. Bonus and the entire state
legislature. Much sympathy has beer
expressed for him for the unfortunate
circumstances which made him tht
innocent sufferer of another's wrongs
Since coming to Sheldon he has wor
many friends for his sterling character
and gentlemanly conduct He is one O
the most trusted employees of the Roller
mills management and will soon wipe
out the cloud that, through no fault o.
his, has attached itself to his name. AL

ing justice assert herself in this particu
