We publish elsewhere notice of the
dissolution of the real estate and law
partnership of the firm of A. E. Bark
er and G. G. Upton, Mr.. Upton con-
tinuing the business at the Union Saw
ings Bank Office as heretofore. Mr.
Upton has grown to manhood in our
comfy, has been honored and trusted
by its people, and always found worthy
of the confidence reposed in him. In
the Office of County Attorney, and
afterward as state Senator, he fully
represented the public will and wish
of his constituents. AS attorney and
counselor they have fonnd him reliable
and trustworthy. In the trial of caus-
es he gets the testimony Of his clients
before the court and the jury so as to
fully present the case upon its merits.
Being we'll versed in the law, this tes-
timony in all its bearings and the law
pertaining to the matters in controver-
sy, is clearly, logically and forcibly
presented in argument. He is honest
and conscientious and will not for the
purpose of a fee advise client to en-
ter suit while other means of obtain
ing what is right and just are avail
able.

ELMA, Iowa, April 8, 1899.
Editor PLAIN DEALER:-This wint-
er reminds me of the past, the earlier
days of the settlement of our state.
1t calls to our minds the ways we nsed
to do, and the many cold winters we
were called on to experience. These
winters were followed by milder ones,
and in measure they passed from
our memories. This winter reminds
me of our experience when they were
SO severe as to send the frost four or
five feet into the ground, and conse-
quently each person dug his own
grave in the fall, but sometimes came
disappointment, that is, the person
did not die, in this case the grave was
disappointed and also the person, but
he always felt paid for his trouble. as
he could truthfully say, at the log
cabin revival that he was prepared to
die. Now all this took place before
the days of our government issuing
bonds to buy embalmed beef to sup
ply our noble young men who felt it
their duty to journey to Islands of
the Philippines to unfurl the banner
of the free and give ex.congressnen,
ex-representatives anditheir sons an
equal showing with embalmed beef.

1t is meet that when the good go to
that bourne from which no traveller
returns, that a record of his life be
spread before the living, as an
incentive to good works and noble
deeds. The death of Patrick Connolly
calls for this mention. He was born
January 26, 1887, at Bonmahon, Coun
ty of Waterford, Ireland. He was
joined in marriage with Miss Catha
rine Hannigan Of Strabally, County
of Waterford, ireland, Feb. is, 1860,
Rev. Father Thomas Casey officiating.
He passed away in Cresco, April 4,
1899, aged 62 years Q months and s
days. In 1868 he came to the United
States with his wife and two children
born to them in Ireland, locating in
McGregor, in the employ of Mr.. p.
O'Brien who died in Cresco six wears
ago. While in the elnploy of Mr..
O'Brien he was a portion of the time
on the road, as travelling salesman
for that house, making New Oregon
and going to the towns on the Cedar
by stage or by private conveyance,
before railroads had reached this
section of country. About the year
1878 he located in Cresco engaging in
mercantile trade on the south side
| where his store was destroyed by fire
in the contiagration thatreduced the
row of buildings on the south side of
of market street to ashes. In partner
ship with his son-in-law, Win. Fltz-
gerald, he bought ard built the store
building occupied now by j. F. Kob-
oliska and for several years they there
carried the largest stock of merchan-
disc of any store in the county. Some
seven years ago the stock was moved
to Elma and the south side store
building sold. Subsequently they re-
turned to Cresco and have since
occupied the Caward building where
they now are. A widow and seven
children remain to mourn the loss OF
a most noble, magnanimous husband
and father. He was a member of the
Catholic church from which his
funeral was held, the business houses
OF the city all being closed out oi
respect to his memory. He was one
OF the best and purest men morally
that ever lived in the county, uprigh,
and honest in every transaction, anG
