New Liberty Notes.

From Our Correspondent
Thinking perhaps that a few items
from this part Of the county might be
of interest to the readers Of THE Re-
PUBLIC, we will try to chronicle the
happenings of this vicinity.
Small grain of all kinds is looking
splendidly. Early planted corn is max
ing a fine showing.
A few more days like Monday and an
immense crop Of small grain viii be
assured.
G. W. Sigman will move into his
new frame house in a few days.
Mrs. J. R. Shipman, who was quite i'll
the first Of the week, is reported i'm
proving at this writing.
Oh. Austin took his cattle to the
herd at Mr.. Jensen's Monday. ..--
If. Smalley is putting up a new
windmill for his sister, Mrs. Mary
Morey.
What might have been a serious run
away occurred the latter part of last
week. Jay, the I3-year-old son Of T. G.
Shipman, was blowing ground for mil
let, when the team became unmanag-
able and ran away. They had not gone
far until the breaking of a clevis re-
leased them from the pillow. They then
proceeded to make things lively for
little while, strewing their path with
parts Of harness, plow, etc. Beyond
few bruises to both horses, no serious
damage was done.
Miron @. Morey died Of heart failure
at his home one and one-half miles
west Of Edison, Thursday, Msy12. The
deceased was born near Bushnell, Fol-
ton county, III, where he grew to man
hood. February Is, 1877, he was united
in marriage with Miss Mary V. Smalley.
In October, 1879, he removed to Saline
county, Neb., and in 1889 he came to
Sherman county and settled on a home
stead near Edison, where he has since
resided. In November Of the past year
he was stricken with bronchitis and
pneumonia from which he did not fully
recover. His fatal illness dates from
the 1st Of May. He was aware that he
could not live. The only regret ex-
pressed by him was that he could not
live to see his children grown. He
called the family TO his bedside and
told them that he had hoped to be
spared to them a little while longer,
but if be was not, it was all right, and
all he asked was the children TO be
kind to their mother and all to meet
him in heaven The funeral services
were held at Edison, Friday, at two
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. R. c. Smith.
The remains were inferred in the Edison
cemetery by the side Of his little son,
who had preceded him to the better
world but a few months, ago. He was q
loving husband and kind father. He
leaves a wife, six children, four bro
theirs, two sisters and an aged mother,
and q large circle Of other relatives and
friends to mourn his death. The fami-
" have the sympathy Of the communi-
ty in ther sad bereavement.
Gone to the grave, he meekly kissed the rod,
And went with angels 70 an endless rest,
There dwells his spirit pure, hencetOrth with
God;
Here the green turf .svsIs Ger his peaesful
breast.
Gene TO the grave, alas, how much OF Lowell
And meek simplicity from earth hath foEni
But he hath found holier home above,
And taste delights 70 mOrtals all unknown
We stand and weep, WHARF snowy marbles press
The turf that wraps his frail and crumb1inE
clay,
We weep and wish and half the wish express
He had not Passsd 80 soon trOn earth away.
