/. 4 i.II
: letter from Miss Marion r Porter n
u MARION county, Kss., says there
were several discrepancies and mac
su'S'les IN the obituary Of her motners
anu requests the publication Of the
,oa AT dawn ofday on Saturday, Aug. ".
l9ol' the lovely spirit of our aged
no,hef' Mrs. M. M. Porter, went out
WIN 'ne angels to meet her God.
Marion Marguerite Fowler was born
oc'. - 1915, in New York City, where
she nved to Somsnhood. and where
siie was baptised in the Methodlst
Church at an early age.
On May 6, 1887, she was united in
in'lf1Sse &c lesse j. Porter, Of Plat
ehonge' Long Island, who was baptised
III 'he Methodist Church IN his l2th
year, and VAS raised to manhood by
Methodist parents.
Ai'ef The marriage they moved TO-
'reeRYiiie, Ohio, where they resided for
twenty years, and where eight children
were born to them. In 1857, they re-
moved to Sidney, Ohio. During their
stay OF SIX years there, one more child
was born to them, and they were called
TO part with their eldest son and third
daughter.
In 1863, they removed to Leon, Iowa,
where they lost their youngest daugh-
ter.
In lof2, this patient hearted mother
gave up her husband at Gods COM
mand. Always sweet tempered, true
hearted and wise. she forgave her enc
mics, while they injured her, and her
brave words of good cheer were always
ready While living in Leon, her three
elder sons married, leaving one son and
two daughters to care for her in her
declining years.
In 1883, they removed to Marion,
thinking it would benefit her health;
and during her stay of eleven years
here, she regained moderate degree of
health. During the past hot weather
she failed, and on Sunday, Aug. 4, she
was stricken down with the disease that
caused her death. After days and
nights of suffering she went out in the
early dawn of Aug. 10.
We weep not that our darling mother
hf 8 left her suffering, but that we shall
be so lonely without her.
We sound our silent heart depths.
But we find a vacant place.
And our eyes in vain are looking
For dear ia miliar face,
And feel a shade of sadness
On the sunshine of our sky;
For we know that we have wandered
All LIES better moments by.
We feel orr pleasures fading,
And our Joys declining fast,
That the Shadow of the future
Dims the sunlight OF tn past;
And in hin we look TO nature
Fer 81 li-tut of other years,
since qhl &c are brimmd with sadness
and Cur eyes suffused with tears.

Quite serious accident happened at
Leroy Monday at Cartoons hardware
store. There is well under the rear of
the store building, and gasoline tank
near the well had leaked quite quar-
tity of gasoline into the vel and Mr..
Carlton and others were cleaning the
we'll out. Having pumped the we'll
nearly dry, a lantern was lowered to see
if damps were in the well, expecting to
lower man to clean the bottom of the
we'll. The lantern exploded the gas
which had formed in the we'll, blowing
the curbing off the top of the we'll and
setting fire to the building and severely
burning Mr. Cartoons hands and face,
some of the nails on his fingers coming
of. L was thought for a time he would
not recover but at present he is better.

A Missouri Cornfield.

David Rankin has had IA 900 acres Of
land in corn this year. His crops us.
ually amounts to 100000 bushels and he
is annually obliged to buy about 100000
bushels. He says his corn will make
a half crop this year, and that he has
1000 acres which, should there be rains
in due season and late frosts, will yield
from % to 100 bushels per acre. 1.-The
same ground said MIR. Rankin, "has
produced ITO bushels per acre"
MIR. Rankin drove the correspondent
OF The World over large tract of his
land to show the corn outlook on his
premises. Where the stand is best is
| on the bottoms near Tarkio. The first
planting here took place the last OF
June and the first of July. 1t is now in
splendid condition and Mr. Rankin adds

life. This corn" he said, lis liable to
be even better than 100 bushels an
acre
The uplan is not in as ne condition,
but it will m Ike half a crop, Mr.. Rankin
believes, which he figures will be in the
neighDorhood of 80 bushels to the acre,

AS to feeding next year Mr.. Rankin
was uncertain. 1t is usual with him to
buy his stockers year before feeding

had failed to do so, and he considered
himself fortunate. cit is likely" he
said, "that | shall feed enough cat

MIR. Rankin is now feeding 5000 cattle
