Summer spraying is said to be an
effectual process, but is costly and diff

order to kill it a very strong and pen

must be used. Earring is considered
one of the best remedies when tried in

His bedroom was finished with this won

his minds eye saw a night upon the YES

stars shone from out the field of blue like
glittering clasps of the trailing garments Of
the night. Beneath such sky man might
find repose. Then the evil day came to the

der James NJ. Brown, and grandson of
Captain James Brown. who. early in
1876, purchased the tract of land which
includes most of what IL now Weber

In his early years he was anxious to
get knowledge, that he might be en-
nbled to fill honorably whatever posi-
ton he should be called upon to ac-
cept; and when near relative of the
family was called to fill a foreign mis-
sion, his spirit was moved with an
earnest desire to likewise labor in the
service of his heavenly Father. and he
then accompanied his Uncle Moroni to
labor in England. in the fall of 1880,
returning home in November. 1882,
having filed an honorable and faithful
mission. He long Will be remembered
by many who then learned to love him
for the living and eternal truth he de-
clared, and sustained by his life of
faith, integrity and uprlghtness.
In February, 1890, he was chosen to
MI the vacancy In the Bishopric of
the First ward Ogden. In this, also.
he earnestly desired to I'LL every duty
ator. and by acts of love to the poor,
and kind counsel to all, particularly
the Maynard youth. he won the love
and respect of every heart.
The funeral services were held in the
Stake Tabernacle, Ogden city, on Sep

ed, many being unable TO gain admls-
sion. Consolatory addresses were given
by Elder George 'rensdale of the Coun-
eli of Apostles, Counselor Charles II.
Middleton of the Stake presidency. and
Elder Datus II. Ensign counselor to
the late Bishop, who each dwelt at
some length on the noble character
and virtues of the deceased. speaking
words of encoura cement, comfort and
sympathy to his bereaved wife, chill
dren and relatives who mourn his loss.
The funeral procession which accom-
panied his remains to their last resting
place was a striking testimony of the
love and respect he had won In the
hearts Of his people. there being quite
a number of the adult members OF the
Sabbath school and members OF the
ward over which he had presided
many of whom were bearing floral Of
ferings of great beauty to be placed ms
