Myself and Wesley Bull used your
Sure Growth Compound on Irish po-
tatoes and peas last summer along
side Peruvian Guano: the results
were surprisingly in advance for the
Sure Growth Compound. We will
use it again this coming season, and
many of our neighbors and friends
express the same intention.

my Irish potatoes last season. am
very much pleased with the goods.
which gave me the greatest satisfac-
ton. l had fine crop, and shipped
fifty barrels to the one barrel planted,
all being OF the finest quality. The

A Pleasant Surprise.

Monday, September 3, was Charles
Tunis' forty-seventh birthday, and to
celebrate the occasion about fifty of
his friends decided to give him a sur
prise. The company met at the resi-
dence of his father-in-law, John Teet-
ze's, and from there repaired to the
home of Mr.. Tunis, arriving there just
as he had come from work at the Cen
ire Star Roller Mill. He had no sooner
sat down to read the evening paper
when the company broke in on him.
The surprise was complete. Ice cream
and other refreshments were served
and very pleasant evening enjoyed
by the entire gathering. On leaving
the company presented Mr.. Tunis with
a handsome easy chair. Charley wishes
us to return many thanks to his friends
for the beautiful present and he as
sures us that this occasion will be re-
membered by him through life.

Obituary..

Died at her home in the township of
Emmett on Thursday, August 30, 1884,
Mrs. Henry Parkinson at the age of "a
years, 4 months and 3 days. The fu-
neral was held from the Presbyterian
church, Brockway, on Saturday, Sep
tember |, Rev. L. Clark officiating. A
large gathering of friends and relatives
were present at the services.
Deceased was born in London town
ship, Ontario, April q, 1910. She was
married to Henry Parkinson, July 10,
1869, and leaves a loving husband and
two grown up sons to mourn the loss
of an affectionate wife and kind
mother.
Eleven years ago she was stricken
with paralysis and has been an invalid
ever since.
In her girlhood she belonged to the
NJ. Z. church, but has not been able
to attend church since her residence
here and therefore was not a member
of any church here. She was recon-
ciled and died trusting in the Lord.
Five brothers and two sisters also a
large circle of friends mourn her
departure.

FIRE! FIRE.! FIRE u!
F. A. Newsted's House and Barn
Burned to the Ground.

Again the awful cry of fire rang out
on the morning air Tuesday, Septem-
ber 4th. About O'Clock II. M, +. A.
Newsted who is night watchman for
the village, noticed the reflection of a
fire in the direction of his own resi-
dence and as he was in the neigh
borhood of $. o. Welch d Sons flour
ing mill he hurried to the engine
house and rang the alarm. Within a
short space of time the engine and
hose cart were at the scene. There
being no well of water in the neigh
borhood the engine was run down the
embankment to the bed of Mill Creek
and two streams of water were soon
playing on the dwelling house which
could have been saved had not the
engine given out by gravel getting
into the valves. Before the engine
could be repaired the whole house
was in flames.
The fire originated in the barn and
everything being so dry it spread very
rapidly TO the house which was only
about two rods away. Only small
portion of the household goods was
removed. 1t is reported that a few of
these were stolen by some low, con-
temptible persons.
No lantern, lamp or fire had been
taken into the barn by the family for
more than a month and how the fire
could have originated unless set by
some meanly disposed person is "a
mystery. If the village of Yale con-
tains an organized set of thieves and
barn burners the sooner they are
brought to justice the better for the
community, and every effort should be
used by our citizens to find out the
guilty ones. This fire made loss of
about $500, with S400 insurance. Mr..
Newsted is an industrious laboring
man and not well able to stand the
loss. 1t is astonishing how low per-
son may fall as to burn up poor
mans hard earned property. 1t is GER
tainly pity that those fire tiends can
not be caught and punished for their
evil doing.
