MRS. LUCY PARTCH.

In Elkader, Iowa, Sunday, Jan. 5, MRS. Lucy
PARTCH, one of the old settlers of Clayton
county, passed away. Although she had been
sick for many months, the news that she had
passed away was shock to her many friends
She had endeared herself to the entire commu-
nifty. She and her good husband have been
known as "Uncle Jim" and AUNT Lucy"
throughout the town for many years.
Mrs. Partch was daughter of Russell E. Bar
mum. a man well known and loved by the people
of Elkader. Her grandfather, Ebenezer Bar
mum, was brave soldier in the Revolutionary
war, The maiden name of the mother of Mrs.
Partch was Rosanna Palmer.
Lucy Barnum was born October 25, 1925, in
Muncton, Vermont, from which place she
moved with her parents to Pennsylvania
when she was eight years old, where she
resided for a number of years and where
she obtained her education. There also in 1916,
she was married to Mr.. James Partch. Mr. and
Mrs. Partch had no children of their own, but
several little ones found home with them who
were as tenderly cared for as if they had been
their own. Among these is Alonzo Fuller, now
of Kansas, who holds for these foster parents
the devotion of a son.
In the year 1855, Mr.. and Mrs. Partch with
nunOoI VI OtHoIs slditcu OHlfeTSdllSL Society
in Elkader. In 1870 this society purchased the
little octagon church on the east side. For sew
eral years MI. and Mrs. Partch have been the
sole survivors of this band of Christian work
ers. Though alone, their ardor never wavered
and they have continued to have services at
their own expense. Shortly before her death, to
her great joy, 1t was determined to hold servi-
ces at regular intervals. During the trials of her
sickness. she often said: THANK God for the
blessed Faith" Her life was filed with deeds
of kindness. She was Jealous worker In the
w. @. T. w. and long will the memory of Aunt
Lucy be blessing to those who were blessed to
know her.
The funeral services were Eeld at the Univer-
salist Church on Tuesday. JAM T. 1896, at 80 p.
M and were conducted by Rev. Henry Gillispe
The sermon was from the text, Rev. xiv, 10, and
was with the Scripture reading and beautiful
hymns, Sweet Bye and Bye" "Nearer my God
to Thee" and "Only Remembered for What
Have Done" very appropriate to the occasion.

CENT-A-DAY PLEDGES FOR 1896.

The Cent-a-Day plan, approved by the
General Convention at its recent session
in Meriden, has been tested to a consid-
cradle extent, and has attained fair de-
gree of success. Could the plan be gen
orally adopted, it would go far to provide
resources for the desired work of Con
ventions. General and State. If every
family in the Universalist denomination
were represented by the cent-a-day
method it would yield over $4,000 for
the work of missions and church extern
sion.
In every locality where this plan has
been earnestly pushed it has proved sue
cessful. 1t has been found to be simple
and satisfactory in it's working, and its
productiveness has been clearly demon
strated.
To ensure more general adoption of
the plan, the cooperation of pastors
Sunday school Superintendent, officers
of Young Peoples Societies. and all
others interested in the advancement of
the Universalist Church is earnestly So
licited.
MayInot count uponthe sympathy and
help which are essential in pushing the
plan and obtaining the best results?
Blanks will be sent out from this office
as they may be desired. and to every
signer of Centa-Day pledge folding
box will be mailed, when so requested.
1t should be remembered that credit
is given to parishes for all returns made
on this plan, and that such returns, when
they aggregate sufficient amount. will
meet "quotas" and annual contributions.
One half the payments made on these
pledges are paid over to State Conven-
tions, without any deduction for expen-
ses.
Dear Brethren and Friends: Please or.
der supply Of blanks at once, and en-
gage heartily in their distribution. Thus
will you give support to plan endorsed
and CONNER ded by the General Conven-
ton. while you will render a service of
practical helpfulness to the work of our
church. II. w. RUGG.

The following letter from Mr.. W. M. Tyson
Commander of the Pennsylvania Soldier and

EEAR 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 ana reach the ho-
tel For the first two weeks felt no improve
ment. Then 1 experienced change, which
continued until my departure, and returned to
my home very much stronger and free from
pain.
do not hesitate to say to anyone seeking re-
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
ing waters. pure air, grand mountain scenery
and comfortable hotel accommodations, as Hot
Springs. s, d. The elegant Evans Hotel is
equipped with every provision for comfort, and
all that goes to make one feel at home. I am
so thoroughlyconvinced of the many advantages
to be found at your location, that it is pleasure
for me to recommend the Hot Springs to invalids,
and to those seeking amusement as we'll as
health.
Wishing you every success, and that Hot
Springs may become better known and appre-
ciated, l am Truly yours,
