straight down only couple of window lights
were broken. The hail stones measured
from six to nine inches in circumference
They came down with such force that chick
ems, rabbits and domestic animals were
killed. AT O'Clock this morning hail stones
were found in the street that still measured
over four inches in circumference. Between
Hartwell and Kenesaw there was a terrific
rain storm which almost resembled

The THURSDAY Club met with Mrs.

The Thursday Club met with Mrs.
Henshaw October 5. Mrs. Mill
man read a very interesting paper
upon the History of France,
through the reign Of Charlemagne,
and Mrs. Houston one upon Iowa.
Both papers were very interesting
and showed that much time had
been spent in research. The statis-
tics given of Iowa industries were
a surprise to some. Iowa is more
of a manufacturing state than
many supposed. A half hour was
given over to quotations from
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Some rem
dered in their most approved style,
poems rich in sweet thought. 9th
ers were witty, some sad. After the
program an invitation was given to
remain for social hour, as this
would be the last time Mrs. Prather
would be here to meet with the club.
The time was given to music and
singing and a good time generally.
One of those delicious lunches was
served that Mrs. Henshaw knows so
we'll how to prepare. Altogether
the afternoon was very probably
and pleasantly spent.

Cruel relentless death, with his
sickle keen, has called another soul
to it's reward, after years full of
goods deeds on earth among his
fellow men. AS the slanting RAYS
of the setting sun streamed through
the easement of Mr.. Charles Jacob
sons home, in this city, on Wednes-
day, October IL, 1899, his father,
Grandpa Carl Jacobson, breathed
his last and his spirit, released
from the mortal clay, took it's flight
to the bar Of judgment, before his
maker. He was past his eighty
third year OF age, was born in Hol
stein, Germany, and came to this
country thirty-two years ago. and
has lived in different parts of the
United States until he settled in Au-
duDon township, where he had re-
sided for several years previous to
his death; his wife, the companion
of his trials and triumphs of this
earthly life, had preceded him to
the better world some seventeen
years ago. The immediate cause of
his death is said to be blood poison,
as about live weeks ago he struck
his hand upon rusty nail and the
wound has never healed, blood poi
son set in and the death of this
good man was the result. Unto
this couple were born five girls and
one boy and they all survived their
parents except one daughter, Mrs.
John Palm, wife of our fellow
townsman, Who went to join her
mother, on the other side, short
time ago. The rest of the children
are the Mesdames Henry Foss,
Schlotfeldt, Mr.. Charles Jacobsen,
of this city; John Schlater, George
Myers. The body will be prepared
for burial at the home of his son, in
this city, then taken to the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Henry Foss, in
Audubon township, where on next
Friday afternoon at two o'clock, the
| funeral services will be held, con-
Quoted by Rev. II. L. Wissler, pastor
of the Congregational church, in
this city, and then long line of
carriages will follow the remains to
tehir last resting place, in the
Schwennecker Cemetery, close to
where he had dwelled so long at
peace with his God and all mankind.
His was life that might we'll be
taken as an example by the rising
| generation, being one in which good
deeds to his fellows was his ever
thought, and no one ever came to
his door in need and went away
empty handed. Our father and
mother are two of our best earthly
friends and when they are taken
from us we feel like poor lone
mariner cast adrift upon the raging
pillows without rudder to guide
our wandering footsteps in paths
of rectitude and right. There are
sad hearts in many homes because
of this death, and the mourners go
about our streets, and while we all
deeply sympathize with the bereav-
ed ones, yet words are weak and we
can only point them, to Him who
doeth all things we'll.
