died Of la grippe, at his home on
Highland avenue, the funeral SER
vices taking place at his late resi-
dence on Saturday afternoon. He
had been sick for some time, and
one week ago Saturday was feeling
well enough to go out, but took q
relapse that evening from which he
never recovered. The deceased was
q highly respected citizen Of Gypsum
Creek for years, but lately has re-
sided in SaliDs, where he was well
aud favorably known. Ralph Thwing
was born May 20. 1870, at Chardon,
Ohio, and was married to Nancy
Caroline Babcock on August 18th,
1916, at Vienna, Wis. They lived at
Alto and Waupon, Wis, for several
years, moving to Kansas In 1872,
settling on farm on Gypsum Creek,
where they resided until moving to
Salina few years ago. He leaves q
wife, one son, and three daughters
to mourn his loss, besides a large
circle OF friends. The son, ]. l..
Thwing, is in business at Duluth,
Mimi, while the daughters, Mrs.
vanTrine, Mrs. McFarlane and Mrs.
E. A. Gillum, all live In this county.
Mr.. Thwing has left q memory for
honesty and uprightness and fair
dealing with his fellowmen, that
will long survive him, and In his
death Saline county losses one Of
her very best Of citizens.

Fish ponds are becoming the rule,
instead Of the exception, rs was
formerly the case. Hardly . we'll
to-do farmer but talks Of putting Q
fish pond on his farm. One man
took large number Of carp from
his pond lately In draining It..
Through the summer. he feeds the
fish oats and corn mush. They lie
dormant through the winter. One
OF the handsomest fish ponds have
seen il at Fairmont, Kansas. near
the great Wellhouse orchard and
packing house. 1t covers guile Q
tract Of land, and lie adorned by q
small island In its center.-Ordnge
Judd Farmer.
There are Q few ponds In Saline
county, and there should be many
more for the pleasure and profit Of
our citizens. A pond where the fish
can live aud grow In the summer,
while at the same time afiording the
boys q "swimmin' hole" and the
grown up folks q place for boating
Is good thing. Then In the winter
splendid skating is furnished (some-
times) and ice can be had to store
for use In the hot summer months.

give what they are pleased to style
sDickens Carnival" at the opera house.
