Obituary.

Nancy Hunter Bush. aged 30 years s
months and is days. died at Falls Creek
June %, 1895. The deceased was a
daughter of John and Sarah Hunter
and was born on the fourth day of Octo-
Der. 1859.
At the age Of II she gave herself to
Jesus and became a member of the NJ.
f.. church Of Grove Summit. In this
church she was an earnest worker, al
ways seeking to know the Lords will.
March 81, 1890, she became the wife of
VIM. G. Bush, of Rockdale Mills. AZ
ter residing in the neighborhood of
Grove Summit for few months they
went to Falls Creek, at which place
they have made their home ever since.
About two years ago Mrs. Bush joined
the Free Methodist church. Her whole
desire was to serve the Lord and she en-
joyed very close communion with her
Savior. Always cheerful, always happy,
she held herself ready to obey her
Masters call and during the last few
weeks of her life she was wont TO say,
II am lonesome for Heaven" Only
sick one day and owing to great bodily
pain it was thought necessary TO keep
her under the influence of medicine, so
she passed away without any farewell
messages to her many friends. But oh!
the joy, the rapture which now is hers
as she sings the praises of her King
around his throne on high.
She leaves a husband, two sons and a
large circle of friends to mourn her loss.
While the sun shown brightly and the
beautiful flowers were shedding their
perfume all around we laid her body in
the tomb with her infant daughter in
her arms and as we stood by the open
grave we could remember the many
times she had said to us "Pray more
and trust in the Lord for it is wonder
full, wonderful what the Lord will do
for you il you only trust in him"

In 1891 we raised the greatest corn
crop ever grown, but we are going to
render it insignificant this year. In
1891 corn covered 1920, 900 acres and
yielded an average OF p bushels to the
acre. This year the corn fields amount
to S2,304, 900 acres, or 100000 more
than In 1891, and all reports indicate a
larger yield per acre than in that year.
But at the same average yield the crop
will amount to ?, 222, POS, ,OOO-two billion
two hundred and twenty-five million
two hundred and eight thousand BUSH
els. Corn is worth about 80 cents q
bushel not only in the market, but In
the feeding Of hogs. This crop will
therefore add Sill ,104,0O0 to the
country's wealth. Think OF 1t! More
than billion dollars OF actual wealth
produced in single year In the shape
Of single crop. Who doubts the pros.
perity of the great Republic ?-New

Long Sentences.

Ex-senator Evarts was given, in the
preparation Of his speeches and opin-
ions, to exceedingly long and involved
though perfectly lucid sentences. This
gave rise to more or less jocular criti-
cism on the part of the press. Some one
mentioned it to Evarts one day. His eye
twinlSled as he said "Yes, know there
are two classes Of people who are very
much opposed to long sentences; one is
telegraph operators, and the other is
criminals "

II reports be true it is now proposed
to telegraph daily to postmasters at dis
tributing offices the weather forecasts,
to be bulletned in their offices for the
benefit of the public, and also to be
mailed to outlying postoffices which can
be reached in time to make the fore
cast value. a simple device by which
the forecasts can be readily and easily
duplicated and stamped upon postal
cards will be furnished cooperating
postmasters by the weather bureau as
well as the necessary postal cards for
use in this connection.

Dubois Mill Idle Again

The big mill was shut down again
Saturday for an indefinite time. There
are said to be several reasons for the
shut down. One is that The supply OF
logs is about exhausted in the creek,
until more can be brought bown by a
flood, and another reason the yard is
full of sawed lumber. Some of the men
will likely find work in the filling Of

A Light, Cool, Efficient Truss,

1.-THE Silver Truss is light, clean and
comfortable to wear, and can be easily
put on or off; in fact, it is simplicity
itself. Eminent physicians of the Unit
ed States, Canada and Europe have
recognized it's great value, and the re.
ports from dealers and patients are most
favorable"
1.-THE Silver Truss, from it's adaptable.
ity, popularity of shape, and mode of
application, adjusts itself to every pos.
ture of the body without displacement,
and is worn with comfort. From Clin.
ical Lecture by Richard Davy. F. R. s.
E., Surgeon to Westminster Hospital
1.-THE rapid introduction of the Amer
lean Silver Truss and subsequent sale
of them with gratifying success by the
druggists, have demonstrated the fulfill.
ment of all claims made for them by the
company. They are, unquestionably,
the neatest, lightest cleanest and most
easily adjusted truss of any on the mar
ket and almost every druggist who has
stocked this truss pronounces it to be
the truss of the future"
"The wearer OF a truss Is always looking for some-
thing better, and it is, therefore, easy matter to
command attention when the American Silver Truss is
brought to the notice of prospective buyer. 1t is
light and simple, made of one continuous piece of
metal without nuts, screws or rivets and can be
formed by the hand to the exact shape of the body
and when placed in position does not move"
''Dr. J. A. Cominger Indianapolis Ind, formerly
Dean OF the Medical College Of Indiana, and Surgeon
General Of the State OF Indiana, who has used this

than any other appliance he has ever
tested"

American Cleverness.

American Cleverness.
According to the accounts Of travellers
in England, the American is at some
what Of discount in the mother coun-
try these days. If man appears clad in
outlandish garb or topped by anything
but high hat upon the streets of. the
worlds metropolis, he is at once set
down as an American. If man makes
a disturbance in public place, the cry
is: "Put him out. He is an American. :"
If in public restaurant diner COM
mits the solecism Of eating with his
knife, his fellow diners grin and whis-
per to one another, "See that Ameri-
can and his knife" ~
And yet the British do not hesitate to
make use Of American talent whenever
they can, as is shown most conspicuous
~ by the makeup Of the reorganized
staff Of the London Times. Its newly
appointed American correspondent is
George w. Smalley, who for go many
years has written extremely able letters
from London for the New York Trib-
une. Its correspondent at Rome is Mr..
Stillman. the distinguished archseolo-
gist, art critic and American, and one
Of the assistants of De Blowitz, the
famous Paris correspondent OF the
Thunderer, is Mr.. William Morton Full
lerton, graduate of Yale college.
These men all belong to the aristoc-
racy Of English journalism. The line
between the reporter and the higher
grades Of men who work on newspapers
in England is very closely drawn, so
closely indeed that it is almost impossi-
bic for the reporter to rise above the
dead level of a stenographio clerk, and
one Of them might as we'll attempt to
uoverset the houses Of parliament with
one hand as to get his name at the bot
tom of q contribution to an English
periodical It is true that one Of the I'M
portant reasons for this lies in the fact
that, compared with American report
ers, those Of England are a dull and
stupid. lot, as any one can see by COM
pairing the English and the American
newspapers, but this stupidity is chiefly
due to tho system Of English journal
ism. which prohibits the writing Of
news in any but the most commonplace
manner. An American reporter who
went to England recently offered his
contributions to nearly every one OF the
high class publications, and but one Of
these contributions was refused.
Il It seems to be clear that even if the
English do dislike the Americans they
are quite ready to avail themselves OF
American cleverness and wit.
