THE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.
BY J. e. GRIFFITH.
WHEN 1T RAINS.

A gentleman was heard to say the
other day, zone rain will make a man
smile, two rains will make him laugh
and three rains will make us forget we
ever had crop failure"
And there was great deal of truth
in those words. Many men have been
hard pressed on account of the light
crop last year, and many more have
had the blues for the same reason. The
dry winter has helped bad thoughts
along until some men are so discourag
ed that they seem to want to think
that rains will no longer come and
that the fair state of Iowa is rapidly
getting ready to be a desert.
Put away all such evil thoughts
They have no place in the mind of any
Iowa man. We firmly believe that
there will be rain, and plenty Of it, in
good time, and that Iowa will again
raise the food for the outside world.
If we quit thinking of last years poor
crop and turn our hopes to the good
crops for 1895 we will all feel better do
better and be better.
***
A prominent farmer said to the
writer only a short time ago ats going
to rain" "I'm no weather prophet, and
don't know anything aboutit, but l feel
that we will have good year." That is
the kind of talk that sounds encourag-
ing. 1t will make hoping man of the
doubter and give lift to the thoughts
of the discouraged. Hope for the best
and be ready to do business when the
coming rains reach us.

Farming operations have already
commenced. Many are preparing the
ground and some sowing has been
done. Implement dealers are busy
showing up the advantages of their
respective lines of tools and the farm
ers are making preparations to give
the back of old Mother Earth such a
stirring and scratching as will make
the old lady put forth the finest kind
of fine crops.
~
The Carroll Sentinel in a recent
issue had the following: Tuesday j
w. Hobbs, of North Coon, and Captain
o. Horton, of Richland, were in this
Office discussing the prospects for a
crop during the coming season. Mir.
Hobbs said he never saw the ground
in such fine condition as it is this spring.
He said he was going to farm on
larger scale than he ever did before.
The captain said the dry season was the
best possible thing for the soil. The
wet, heavy ground has dried out and is
now loose and loamy, and will not re-
quire any where near the amount of
moisture to raise crop that it would
had the ground been wet and baked as
it is after wet season. | am of the
opinion that the harvest will be more
bountiful this season than for several |
years past. This is encouraging crop
talk from two such experienced and |
successful farmers as these.

"In that case we shall have to de-

no means of knowing that we left the

MARY SOPHIA TEAL.

MARY SOPHIA TEAL was born In Cincinnati,
Ohio, May 25 1924 and died at her home in
Ligonier, Noble Co., Ind, Feb 10. 1895. She
was permitted to live out the allotted "three
score years and ten," and leaves behind her a
noble legacy, the memory of good and beautI-
full life.
Mrs. Teal was of French descent, having ac-
quired good education in that language and
was brought up amid culture and affiuence.
Early in life she removed with her parents to
Lewisburg, Ohio, where she grew to woman
hood. September 25. 1916, she was married to
DR.. Pau Henkle, and removed with him to
Benton, Elkhart Co., Ind, where they lived hap
PLY till his death, which occurred Jan. Z, 1850.
The fruit of this marriage was three children,
James, Andrew and Paul, all Of whom are still
living. She was again married, Nov 49, 1859,
to Mr. Joseph Teal, who survives her. To them
were born three children, Eugene, Jessie and
Josie, who live to revere the memory of the
sainted mother.
Mrs. Teal for many years cherished the Eter-
nal Hope and was at the time of her death
member of the Cromwell Universalist Church.
She was woman of strong domestic habits,
wholly unselfsh in her disposition and pos
sessed great decision of character. Her loss to
the home and to society is keenly felt by all who
knew her.
Her funeral was held at the family residence
in Ligonier, Feb. p, 1895. and was largely at
tended. The services were conducted by Rev.
j. A. Beatty of the NJ. Z. Chuch.

age of 20 years, 5 months, is days. At the or
ganszation of theUniversalist church in 1888 she
became member and since that time has been
a willing worker, doing all in her power to for
ward its interests. For two years she was Sec
rotary of its Sunday-school. always being found
at her place of duty when her health permitted.
She graduated from the high school in 1898 with
honor to herself and class.
AIDA was a young woman of character. gentle
and kind to every one, pleasant, sympathetic
and helpful In every relation in life. During
her protracted illness of more than two years
she exhibited that patient, loving disposition
that has endeared her to her many friends. and
which will remain a lasting evidence of her
pure and Christlike character.
Funeral service we're conducted Sunday morn
ing from the Universalist church by the pastor
Rev. James Houghton, assisted by the pastors
of the Baptist and Presbyterian churches. Both
the above named churches (the only ones In
the town having services at the hour), adjourned
their services that they might be present
Theme of the discourse, 1.-The voice from the ST.
lence,' Ps. xix3.
The church was filled to its utmost capacity
and many were unable to gain admittance.
The members of her class we're present with
one or two exceptions some having come quite
distance. The glee club of the high school
rendered appropriate music. The large num-
Der present, the unmistakabe signs of sorrow
written on every face, the respectful attention
to the entire service. and the many expressions
of sympathy and regret that we're heard on
every hand, bore evidence to the high esteem in
which she was held by ALL j.. H.

The Hot Springs of south Dakota.

The following letter from Mr.. w. M. Tyson,
Commander of the Pennsylvania Soldier and
Sailors Home. at Erie Pa, written on his re-
turn home, after stay of some weeks at Hot
Springs, South Dakota, indicates that the
Springs are in a fair way TO become one of the
leading health resorts of the country:

DEAR SIR: Among the many who have been
benefited by treatment at the Hot Springs,
S, D., and have experienced courteous hospital
ity at your hands. claim the right to say
word in behalf of the Springs as health resort
and cannot do better than to state the facts In
my own case.

friends at the time doubling whether would
ever recover my health. l arrived at Hot
Springs so weak and disheartened that re-
quired aid to leave the cars and reach the ho-
tel. For the first two weeks l felt no improve
m mt. Then l experienced a change, which
continued until my departure, and returned to
my home very much stronger and free from
pain.

lief from PAIN aud desiring rest, that do not
believe there is any place where an invalid can
go and find so many advantages, such as heal

equipped with every provision for comfort, and
all that goes to make one feel at home am
SO thoroughly convinced of the many advantages
to be found at your location. that it is pleasure
for me to recomend the Hot Springs to invalids
and to those seeking amusement as well as
health.
Wishing you every success, and that Hot

instantly on the afternoon of March 5. She
was found in the street in an unconscious condi-
ton near her home carried into the house, and
