Jacksonville and sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-The death of Mrs. w. Harrison Curtis
which occurred at her home near Sunny brook

great shock to her family and the community
generally. She had been in i'll health for some
time, but it was not thought the end was SC
near. The funeral took place in Fairview NJ
E. Church South. Sunnybrook, on Saturday,

who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect

were number of pretty floral tributes.
Mrs. Jemima King, wife of Mr.. Isaac King,
! died at her home on the Jarrettsville pike,
near Sunnybrook, Oh Monday last, in her 81st
| year. She and her husband, who survives
her, came to this section of the county from
| Pennsylvania over half century ago and for
many years kept what was known as Kings
tavern, first on the old York road and then on
| the Jarrettsville turnpike. Mr.. King was also
farmer. They were, perhaps, the Oldest
couple in the 10th district and were well
| known. Mrs. King leaves nine children, be-
sides a number of grandchildren. The re-
mains were inferred at Clynmalira M. E.
Church.
On Friday afternoon of last week while

with the other they pulled the horse into
| the school house lot at Sunny brook. In doing
SO the wheel struck building and upset the
| buggy. Both occupants were thrown out,
sustaining severe shock and some bruises. DR..
John s. Green was summoned and rendered
medical aid. The horse is young and spirit
ed animal and it is providential that the
ladies escaped without much more serious
injuries.

Mr.. John Foard has planted his field corn,
being the first in this section to do so.
A great many farmers have only recently
sown their clover seed. They formerly sowed
as early as February and March. 1t seems
unreasonable to sow such tiny seed so soon,
throwing it upon the hard ground and ex-
RI oond &c down, 6rr-
ing the cold weather. Better sets can be OBJ
tanned by waiting until the.last of April or LIST of
May, when ground is warm, and still better to
work the wheat ground up well first and cover
the seed l have worked my wheat this spring
four times, sowing seed on Thursday and COW
ering it by two more workings. One wheat
grower in 1900 increased his yield of wheat
seven bushels per acre by working it four times
over that which he only worked once. This
lets the air and sunshine into the roots, warm
ing them and making the wheat grow much
better. X.

sion being that this would be more accepta-
BILE to the young people, many of whom are
unable to understand the Gosple expounded in
German only.
