D.. B. Zentmyer, one of the propri-
etors of the Atlantic Roller Mills, is
something OF all inventive genius and
for several years has been experiment
ing on a wheat heater. When they
started this mill he had a combined
wheat heater and steamer made to
order and put in. the mill which has
proved a complete success, and now
those successful and enterprising
foundrymen, Hodgson & Middaugh
are working day and night manufac-
turing these steamers. Orders from
all parts of the country are coming in
for them and we understand they
have applied tor a patent on the same.
Atlantic Telegraph.
A few months ago a maj by
the name of Manchet, hailing from
California arrived at Lorah and decid-
ed to locate. About two months ago
he was married to Mrs. Lambert, the
mother of our esteemed fellow towns
man, Frank Lambert. Two weeks
ago he was taken ill of Inflammation
OF the bowels and Though everything
was done for him that medical skill
knew it proved of no avail and after
suffering intense pain for a week he
was relieved by death last Saturday
night. He belonged to the Odd Fell
lows Lodge in California and Monday
the Brayton Lodge turned out and
conducted the funeral services of their
dead brother. They were assisted by
Professor Brinkerhoff, of Oakfield,
and Rev. E. S. Hill, of Atlantic, in
performing the last sad rites of laying
the good man away in the tomb.
The Following obituary of Nj. j.
NJ. Hill was penned by the deceased's
former pastor, Rev. M. d. Reed, for
merly of Extra but Tow of Glenwood;
Julius M. Hill died at his home
in Tabor, Iowa, last Sunday afternoon.
As is generally known he had long
been an invalid and a sufferer. Seven
weeks ago he declined so as to be un-
able to get about except for a short
period at Christmas time when by an
extra effort he sought to add some
thing to the family joys. Death al
ways leaves a wound but there is
such a sense of preparedness in one
who has lived well that the sting is
robbed of its venom. OF MIR. Hill we
may safely say, "Faithful in a few
things" He was not a money getter
but he got a strong faith in God, a
patriotic love of country, a lofty idea
of citizenship and an unseltish devo-
ton to his family, that gave him a
high place in the estimation of those
who knew him. He was born in
Wakeman, Ohio, March 5, 1S47.
Shortly after his mother, then a wild
ow, removed with her family and
settled at Tabor, Iowa. 1t was from
here that Julius, then a seventeen
year-old boy went out to serve his
country in the hour of need. Return
ing when the war was finished he fol-
lowed teaching, making his home in
Cass and Audubon counties where he
met and married Susan NJ. Ballard, in
1869, and there they lived until four
years ago when they came to Tabor
in order to have the advantages of
schools and church for the six child
rem that were born to them. Here
the mother died, three years ago, and
here again this week the sons and
daughters watched while in pain and
weakness the father breathed his life
away. But " He being dead yet speak
eth," and out of the memory of his
deavoted life will come, with mighty
power, the inspiring effect of exam
pie and counsel. The funeral was
held at the Congregational church on
Tuesday afternoon, January 81, 1897.
1t was fitting so, for in the church
where he served as deacon as we'll as
any other place he could fill, he found
one of his highest joys. DR.. Thain
being unable, on account of his illness,
to have charge the services were in
charge of Rev. NJ. d. Reed, of Glen
wood, a long time friend of Mr.. Hill
and once his pastor. And now that
he has gone it remains for us to prove
that his earnest, consistent life has not
found unresponsive hearts in us, but
we, too, surrounded by the cloud of
such witnesses are capable of conse-
Grafton and earnest life.
