The Small Reminders.

A cleverlv worded Al Of salt-cellars
has been known 10 create boom in
the china department Of store. A
sale of thread. needles and pins will
cause an overflow in the no cor
ner, and the rest of the place gets the
benefit. There are so many little
things that are needed in house that
the average woman forgets, then
shifts along without until some clever
advertiser reminds her. Then she
buys a lot of things that she could
and did do without. but is so much
more comfortable with. that she re-
solves never to deprive herself again.
The necessities of life are so complex
that the merchant should continually
publish reminders lest we forget. 4"

Obituary T ownsend.

Died at her homein Mt. Hope, Mon
day, Dec. II, 1900, after an illness Of
but one week OF catarrh of stomach
and bowels, Suel Wheeler Townsend,
aged II YRS, months and 26 days.
Deceased was born in Concord, Erie
county. New York in May, y, 1928.
He came to Wisconsin in 1858 and
settled in Little Green Valley, where
he lived for upwards of forty years.
He moved to Mt. Hope in 1898, where
he lived up 20 the time of his death.
He was brought up a Presbyterian
but did not experience a change of
heart until later in life. About %
years ago he had bright, clear relig-
ious experience and joined the United
Brethren church, since which time he
has lived a consistent religious life.
The circumstances in the home dur
ing his illness were most distressing,
the house being quarantined on ac-
count Of his granddaughter, Bessie,
having the diphtheria. But she had
recovered sufficiently so that by the
greatest efforts the house was cleansed
and the quarantine removed the even
ing of his death.
The funeral services were held
Thursday from the home at 10 O'Clock
and from the church at 1920. Rev.
G. A. Bird OBLIGATED with interment
at Bethlehem cemetery.
The bereaved family are comforted
by the thought that he was an honest
man, a kind husband and father and
verify followed his Savior's command
and loved his neighbor as himself.
