per of that date was issued.I
The weather is cooler but the want of rain is
still the leading trouble. But little wheat has
been sown in this valley as yet.
We have had two CT three slight freezes in
September and tomato. sweet potato and mel
on vines are mostly killed.
Pasture is not quite 80 good on account of
the lack of rain
Some have commenced gathering their corn
j. ID. Fair Son bought 800 bushels of corn
last week at fourteen cents per bushel. They
are building large corn house by the railroad
track Its dimensions are ninety feet long,
twenty feet wide and ten feet high They are
buying corn to house.
The frosts have not destroyed all the au-
tumn flowers yet and bees continue TO bring
in pollen and most of the colonies are still
rearing brood to small extent.
Mr.. Frazier was in the vicinity of Sharon on
Monday looking for house to rent and a lob
of gathering corn.
Joel Presnall was in the valley on Monday
buying poultry. He pays to 5 cents per
pound. He resides at Kiowa and ships his
poultry from Kfowa and Hazelton. This is
the first round he has made in this part of the
county this fall.
The school In Enon district commenced on
Monday, Mr. German teacher. wages $35 per
month.
Cattle do not seem to relish their pasture so
well of late, and show a disposition to break
out of their enclosures and wander of.
Where rag weed abounds in pastures the
milk has the usual bitter taste which is COM
mon when COWS can get this weed to eat.
The apple harvest has about ended, as most
fall From fha
attribute this to the dry weather as the
principal cause, and. probably the presence
of worms in some of tde fruit was an addition
al cause. The high winds have also played a
part toward the same end.
1t was reported that Mrs Ida SoIf was yefy
low on Monday morning and not expected to
live.
THIS WEEKS ITEMS.
There was good rain on Thursday lasting
all day
The saddest event for many days is the death
Of Mrs. Ida Solf, wife of william Solf. she
was the daughter of James A. and Mrs Ellen
Rogers. She died in her youth being only p
years of age and had been married but q few
| short months. She had been sick IL weeks
and had been very low for some time but all
| had some hope that she might get well for it
seems so hard to feel resigned to the thought
that one SO young and so universally loved
and esteemed should be called away She was
aware that her time had come to go to her
Saviour in whom she trusted, and she well
coined the approach of the King of Terrors
! with joy and implicit confidence that she was
| exchanging this state of suffering for better
and happier life with Christ. She selected the
| hymns to be sung at her funeral. They were
| four in number and to be sung IN this order:
| The Haven of Rest The Highway Of theLord
| Prepare. Some Sweet Day Bye and Bye.
| Wen Never say Good bye in Heaven She
| bid farewell to her weeping husband, parents.
| brother and sisters and other relatives and
| friends and departed this life at three O'Clock.
/ October 4, 1926. The funeral was conducted
at the Baptist church on the 5th, and notwith.
standing the rain there was a large attend
ance. The singing was excellent and the SEN
| timent of the hymns the deceased had selected
were well suited to the occasion After the
| funeral her remains we're inferred in the Gem
| etery south of town. The deceased was 6
| grand child of Grandfather and GRANDMOTHER
| Tatum, and niece of Mrs. VIM. Brown anC
Mrs. a. S. Huff. The sympathy of the entire
| community is extended to the bereaved hus
band and other relatives. She had been {

| for several years and her daily life bore test
mony that she loved the Lord Jesus
