DEAR EDIToR.-Seeing on the

pay up or be dropped from the
list. / do not want the latter to
occur: for we greatly enjoy the
weekly visits of the News. So, in
order that it may continue to
make its regular visits to our
house for another year, 1 send
you one dollar.

ty to write a short letter, and
kindly beg your indulgence long
enough to publish it, that my

of 1897 we, Il say we, for 1 had
taken unto myself one of Fulton s
fair daughters for wife) started
out to try our fortune in the then
to us "wild and wooley West. "
We did not get farther West than
Iowa, but we found it a very much
grown up state, for it has been in
the Union many years longer than

For the last four years we have
been enduring the ups and
downs of living in Methodist par
sonages on charges which usual.

the work of preaching the gospel
in the great Methodist Episcopal
church.
We, like our brother Shoe
maker of Maquoketa, find many
Pennsylvanians, and once in
awhile a Fulton countian in these
parts.
A week ago yesterday we were
called to Ollie, in Keokuk county
Iowa, to officiate at the marriage
of two worthy young people, wht
recently came from Fulton coun
ty. The groom was John r
Sipes, son of II. Irwin Sipes o.
Licking Creek township, and :
nephew of your worthy towns
man John P. Sipes. He is also q
cousin of the writer. The bride

at the home of the cousin of the
groom, and sister of the bride
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Decker.
Only immediate relatives and
friends were present. We start

happy and prosperous journey
through life.
I had thought to tell you some
thing of our work here, but this

further at this time.

James o. Kelso, oldest son of
the late Robert Kelso, and broth
er of Rev. D. w. Kelso of Tod
township, died at his home at
Ponka City, Oklahoma, on the
18th inst, of cancer of the stom.
ach.
Mr.. Kelso was born at Bell.
wood, Blair county, Pa, in 1926,
and four years later came with
his parents to this county where
he grew to manhood and resided
until 1864, when he moved to
near indianapolis, Ind. After re.
naming there for six years he
went to Kansas and settled in
Doniphan county, staying there
about eight years, when he mov-
ed to Iuda Springs, Sumner
county, in the same state. About
two years ago he left Kansas and
went to Ponka, Okla, where he
spent the remainder of his life.
While living in this county he
was married to Miss Catharine
Clapsaddle, sister of Mrs. Nam
cy Comerer, of Burnt Cabins,
who, with four sons and one
daughter, survives him. He is

CHARLTON.
The many friends of Mrs. Mag
gle Charlton, wife of Elk com mis-.
sioner William FL. Charlton of
Warfordsburg, were shocked at
learning of her death last Satur-
day evening.
Mrs. Charlton had been in her
usual health up to Monday of last
week when she complained of a
slight indisposition. Her condi-
ton during the week did not i'm
prove, but did not excite any
alarm in the minds of either her
family or physician, and her
death, which was due to conges.
ton of the lungs, was all the
more a shock to the family from
the fact that they did not appre.
hend a fatal termination of her
illness.
Mrs. Charlton was sister of
DR.. w. l.. McKibbin and George
McKibbin of Union township, and
is survived by her husband and
the following children, namely,
Joseph, Lee, and Clay, in Bethel
twp; Annabel, wife of Chas. Tru-
ak at Morrisdale Mines, Somer-
set county; Mrs. G. B. Cover of
Covington, Va, and Howard at
home.
The wide circle of friends who
have enjoyed the hospitality of
the Charlton home will long re-
ember the cordial greeting of
Mrs. Charlton; and the solicitude
which she showed for the com.
fort of her guests; always made
one feel at home when under
their roof.
For more than forty years she
was an exemplary member of the
Presbyterian church.
Her funeral takes place to-day

The GLOBE.REPUBLICAN believes that
the most important matter the directors

which the stockmen and farmers will

If it is, the fair will receive the backing
