Strength and Endurance

I Are factors Of the greatest success.
No person can do full justice to him
self without them.
In no season of the year are they
more easily exhausted than in the
spring.
We need not discuss the reason for
this here. It's enough to say there is
one, and that Hoods Sarsa parilla gives
strength and endurance, as thousands
annually testify.

EMMA WARD


was born in Decatur county, Nov. 80,
1856. She attended school at Leon,
Iowa, where she grew to womanhood
and was married to I. b. McCready
Jan. 81. 1877. She accepted Christ
early in life, united with the NJ. E.
church, and lived an exemplary life
until March 20, 1901, when at 2 O'Clock
p. m. her spirit took its flight to God
who gave it.
"None knew her but to love herr
can truly be said. Always kind and
forbeariug, ever ready to excuse and
forgive the faults of others, she won a
place in the hearts Of all who knew her.
she was patient in her affection and
ever lifted smiling face from the pill
low of suffering to all who waited with
loving hearts and hands upon her.
| A short service was conducted by Rev.
J. H. Burrows at the house, on Thurs.
day, March 81, and the remains were
taken to Winterset for interment, where
the funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Follansbee, from the home Of
P. B. Farbell, brother-in.law of the

A bereaved husband, mother, sister

One less at home!
The charmed circle brok en-; a dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed place;
But, cleansed and saved and perfected by
grace,
One more in heaven.
One less at home!
One voice Of welcome hushed, and evermore
! one farewell word unspoken; on the shore
| Where parting comes not one soul landed
One more in heaven.
One less at home!
A sense of loss that meets US at the gate:
Within, place untitled and desolate:
And far away. our coming to wait
One more in heavenl
| One more at home!
This is not home, where, cramped In earthly
| mold !.
Our sight Of Christ is dim our love IS cold;
But there, where face to face we shall behold,
Is home and heaven!
One more at home!
That home where separation cannot be;
That home whence none is missed eternally.
Lord Jesus. grant US all place with thee,
AT home in heaven.

became faint and asked to be famed,
and within few minutes was dead.

much bowed with sorrow over the loss
of their only child. She was 26 years,
6 mouths and IA days old; was born in
Dseatur City, but the family have lived
, west of Lamont for many years. Those
who were her school mates in girlhood
days give high praise of her purity of
life and uprightness Of soul. At the age
of sixteen she united with the Christian
church at Tuskeego. There was large
attendance Of friends and nelghbors at
the funeral, which was held at the house
on Sunday noon, Elder III. A. Stebbins

Messrs G. 1. Carpenter and Wilbur Pau
