The house few steps west from the
meeting house is on the land cleared of
the forest by Eoenezer Crockett about
1900. Mr.. and Mrs. Crockett were Metho-
dists. They had one child, a daughter.

John Whitney, who was one of the pioneer
preachers. He was a Methodist.
Probably one of the most historic places
to be mentioned is the present home of
Mr.. e. E. Files. Robert Hanson Gather
of the one above mentioned of the same
name) was one of the first settlers, and
the earliest of the Friends to come to the
then almost unbroken wilderness. He
built a log house on or near the site of
the present house, in which he and his
family lived several years, when he built
large two-storied house. From the
earliest time until they came into posses
sion of public place of worship the
Friends held meetings at MI Hanson s
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson had large
family of children. Those who reached
manhood and womanhood were: Moses.
Timothy Stephen, Robert and John: Jane
Dorcas, Martha and Sarah All continued
in the religious creed of their parents
Timothy remained at the homestead and
in the sixties built the present two stored
house. Timothy in Ills later years was a
prominent and active member Of his So
ciety.
The Friends meeting house, which has
| tor many years been prominent land
mark, ''like a city built upon Il hill, =" was
within view of nearly every place above
enrioned. The building was erected by
the Methodist Society in 1888 No frame
was used in its construction. The walls

right position resting Oh erooved stills The

who .emodeled the interior and. as was
then their mode of arranging their houses
OF worship, two apartments were made by
constructing movable partition through
the centre of the house. They also re :
moved the high pulpit then in vogue,
which stood near the entranc and elevat-
ed seats were arranged at the rear to be
occupied by preachers, etc. About twenty
years ago the Friends ceased to gather at
the house. Some years later the Free
Baptists held services there for while and
about that time it became the private
property of G. E. Files. In one apart
ment may now be seen the original seats
and fixtures which have been left undis-
turbed. Those old walls h ave witnessed
many changes in methods of conducting
services, etc while the exterior of the
old structure, from its high point of view.
has doubtless seen many changing scenes
on the face of nature, and in the affairs

To Be Prepared,

For war is the surest way for this nation to
maintain peace. That is the opinion of the
wsesI statesmen. 1t is equally true that to
be prepared for spring is the best way to
avoid the peculiar dangers of the season.
This is lesson multltudes are learning and

loaded with impurities and to be weak and
sluggish, the millions begin to take Hoods

ergy and puts the whole system in healthy

Breadstuffs and Provisions.

CHICAGO-Wheat declined on liberal
receipts and speculative dullness to-
day, but closed steady. January &c
lower. May corn closed unchanged
and May oats B@Ac down. Provisions
at the close were unchanged to Sc de-
pressed.
Wheat formed dull market Of the
variety known as Changing" which Is
to say that traders were getting out of
there December deals into later ones.
January opened shade higher at IeSc,
and sold early to 7OBc. There was no
particular demand. but offerings were
light because Of fairly steady cables
and light deliveries on December con-
tracts. Between 100000 and 100000
bushels were put out early. The belief
exhausted itself also tended to hold
prices. Later however. the liberal re-
ceipts, the speculative dizziness and n
bit Of fag-end liquidation sent January
down to 7OAc. At this point the mar
ket steadied on u report of fifty-three
loads taken for export at the seaboard
and the close was only &c down at 10R
qp70lac. Scaboard clearances In wheat
and flour were equal to 21S,OOO bushels.
Primary receipts aggregated Sill 900
bushels, compared with $4,000 bushels
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 491 cars, against i9I cars last
week, and 33l cars u year ago. Local
receipts were 1870 cars, three of which
We're contract grade.
Corn was fairly active and higher
early, but eased OFF In the end. Shorts
covered ut the start on the light deliv-
cries, $4,000 bushels, and light country
acceptarces, but when this demand was
satisfied prices eased' off on the slack
ness Of speculation. Receipts here
were 46S cars. May sold between 36lhc
and 357sc. and closed unchanged at
355sc.
Oats were quiet and easy on the de-
livery OF 100000 bushels in December
contracts. There was only small
trade. May sold between 2SAc and
25fsc, and closed bGhc lower ut 1880
22&c. Receipts were 30 cars.
Provisions were firm early on light de-
liveries. Later, however. prices eased
off. The close was fairly steady; jan
uary pork sold between S11 81: and
s11 so. and closed unchanged ut $i1 90;
January lard between Sc so and Sc 72k.
closing Lose down at s. 72Lac. and jan
