The Late Mrs. Lilly Blakney.

Sss The Late Mrs. Lilly Blakncy.
All. that was earthly Of Mrs. Lilly.
sBla fllal accompanied by the bereaved
husband, reached here Monday after
noon, after being ten days on the road.
The funeral on Tuesday from the Con-
|gregational church was largely at,
tended. The services were conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Hulburt, who paid
touching tribute to the memory of the
deceased. The remains were conveyed
to Oak Knoll cemetery and laid along
side those of her father.
Lilly Amanda Cater was born on the
old homestead near this village May
26th, 1870. She attended school here
until she was IA years of age and then
completed her education in Minneapo-
lis. She was religiously inclined from
her youth and made a public profession
of her faith and united with the Con-
gregational church of this place in the
spring of 1889. She was married to
Mr.. Clement Blakney Nov. 25th, 1890,
and removed with him to Seattle
shortly afterwards. A severe attack
of the grip developed into consumption
from which she never recovered. Last
fall they returned to Princeton and re-
sided with her mother until early in
the summer. Failing health caused
them to again return to the west, hop
ing that the milder climate of southern
California might benefit her. But all
efforts proved unavailing, and on the
18th day of August, at Alpha, among
the mountains of the Golden State, she
was called hence. All through her
| long illness her devoted husband was
unremitting in his attentions to her.
Hexand her respected mother, sister
and brother have the sympathy of all
in their great bereavement.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The bulletin issued by the depart

10th says of potatoes: 1.-THE condition
of potatoes has declined nearly nine
points in the last month, and now
stands at So. Condition in August has
been lower only twice in the last de-
cade. The general drought has been
the cause of this falling off, and rain is
needed badly to prevent further dis
astrous losses.'' The average in Min
nesota is a., the lowest of
any State in the Union
save Nebraska and New Jersey,
in the former tits 81 and in the latter
SO. Potatoes ought to be worth some
thing this fall-worth too much to
manufacture into starch.
