Mrs. j j. WOOdman.

Mrs. Harty Woodman, daughter of
the late John and Eliza Hunt. was born
in Innbridge, Vt, Oct. 20, 1884. She
finished her education in the Female
Acadamy at Kalamazoo, and was mar
ried TO j. j. Woodman March 30, 1856
For 80 years she has filled the position
of an hOnored wife, and faithful help
mate, rising with her husband to meet
the duties and responsibilities of social
and public life, sharing his burdens and
hOnors.
In her home and elsewhere-w where
ever duty called, she was ever the care.
full, thoughtful, companion and CO.
worker. For 20 consecutive sessions of
the National grange, she has accOmpa-
MED him, and her abilities and social
qualities won for her the highest express
siOns of esteem and commentator, and
the highest places filed by lady officers
in the State and National grange were
assigned to her. She had been for
several years chairman of the National
committee on wOman's work in the
grange, and one year ago declined a
reappOintment on account of failing
health. Then came the expenses and
self-denials of the sick room; suffering
as few are called to suffer, yet with the
same cheerful, brave, determination
she persevered in the attempt to- re-
cover the health that refused to return,
though sought by every means which
love could devise or skill attempt.
When about to be removed from her
own dear home to Kalamazoo for surgi-
cal treatment, she said to friend. II
have been counting my blessings and
am not going to let this one trouble
overshadow them all, for have many
left" Brave, hopeful, patient until the
last, she had no fault to find. Hers
had been the most generous, devoted
husband, the dearest children-no
daughter could have been better than
Fannie-no brothers or sisters kinder
than hers, no physicians more skillful
and gentle, nor nurses more faithful
than hers had been.
She died on. Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, and funeral services were held
in her late home, conducted by Mrs.
Anna Barton, and she was laid to rest
in Prospect cemetery. The Paw Paw
grange, of which she was a member
since its organization, attended the
funeral in body. The Coterie. also,
of which she was a member, were pre-
sent to pay their last tribute to her and
mourn with others their loss. Much
regret was felt that the aged mother
was not able to be present on account
of failing health

1t is well known to all consumers of
hard coal that the Lehigh Valley Sugar
Loaf is the very best grade in market,
and when dealers at Lawton, or any
other town an equal distance from the
source of supply, furnish coal at %
cents per ton less than Lehigh costs in
Chicago in carload lots, and claims to
be furnishing first grade of coal, they
are simply playing upon the credulity
of their customers. Lehigh Sugar Loaf
is worth I. o. b. at the mouth of the
mine the price asked for this inferior
grade. Mr.. Whitbeck handles only the
best coal obtainable, believing it the
cheapest in the end.

Michigan, Republican by Over

The Republican party once again
rises, Phoenix like, triumphant above
its enemies. Two years of Demo
cratic rule in thirty years has, in the
language of Grover Cleveland, con-
vinced the American people that the
Democratic party mas no ability to
wisely govern the country.
Less than two years ago the Demo
cratic party went into power and found,
as the heritage of Republican rule, an
overflowing treasury and prosperous
people. March 4th next it will retire
permanently $50 far as congress is con-
cerned) with a record of promises
unfulfilled, an increased public debt
and seventy million dollar deficit.
1t is no wonder that the country has
turned again to the Republican party
as its Moses, to lead il out of the
Democratic wildernerness, as it did
ia 81.
The country is to be congratulated
on Republican successes, and especially
on the destruction of Tammany in
New York and the Hopkins machine
in Chicago.
Everthing considered, it is the most
splendid victory ever won and, once
again, the seal of public condemnation
is put on Democratic incompeteney
and dishonesty.
