Mrs. D. 3. Edwards of Lake
City, is visiting here the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Bunce.
Psychologists claim that any
form of amusement that is
wholly different from that US
ually pursued, is a benefit men
tally, because of the diversion
and reflectively helps one phys
ically. This, doubtless, is the
firm belief of the small com
pany of whist players who
gathered at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. +. A. Sims last even
ing, not to indulge in their IA
vorite pastime, but to witness
the performance of Prof. Sam
uel Hannet, a talented colored
pianist and vocalist from Chi
cago, As a musician this man
is a genius in his line of music.
He played and sang all the lat
est cakewalks made famous so
recently in England as we'll as
our own country by Williams &
Walker, fairly bringing down
the house by his rendition of
"Jonah.' The accompaniment
were wonderfully varied and,
all without any knowledge Of
music whatever, making it all
the more interesting to the
audience. 1t was certainly a
very unique entertainment and
one much enjoyed by those
privileged to accept the hos
pitality Of the Sims home. ~
F. A. Sims is looking after
business affairs in Omaha to-
day.

c. A. Marlin Buys Newton Record

G. A. Marlin, late editor of this
paper, purchased the Newton
Record last week assuming charge
Immediately. He has chosen for
his future field of labor one of the
best towns east of Des Moines and
the best paper in the town. He has
been dealing for some time for the
plant and in the past two weeks the
only barrier was his hating to cut
loose from the life long associa-
tions of this county. He recognized
the fact that he owes much to kind
and loyal friends who have stood
by him and encouraged him when
he needed their support His
relations have always been of such
a pleasant nature that both he and
Mrs. Marlin longed to leave them as
they are but both recognized this
as an opportunity to enter broader
fields and so accepted it.
Personally we feel their departure
keenly for we do not hesitate to
affirm that if we have made any
success in life we owe it to the
council guidance and support of
our brother and OF the home we
have always had with him. We
will miss the close ties that have
always bound us but with all here
feel he is richly deserving of the
extended field of new opportunity
open to him and wish both success
and happiness, believing and
knowing that they will do their
best to merit the patronage and
good will of their new patrons.

Farmers Wife Gets a Share.

Most farm papers are gotten up
with the idea that they are read
only by the man who runs the farm.
Probably they are, because there is
nothing in M st of them to interest
anyone else. and very often it is
pretty dry reading for him. There
10 one farm paper, however, that is
not built on this plan-The
Twentieth Century Farmer-whose
editor has kept the whole family in
mind in getting up the paper.
There are two pages that are given
over to the things that interest the
farmers wife, and a page for the
young folks. Besides this, she al.
ways reads the stories, Frank Car
penter's letters of travel, the poultry
department and some other depart
ments.
You can get sample copy free
by writing to The Twentieth Cen
fury Farmer, 1916 Farnam street

Crop Bulletin.

Dies MONIES, Ia, April 20, 1908.
The week began and ended with
cool, wet and cloudy weather. The
daily average temperature was from
two to four degrees below normal,
and on several mornings the
minimum was at the frost line. On
the average the conditions were
favorable for field work about half
the week, and some progress has
been made in seeding and prepare
tons for planting. The amount of
rainfall has not been excessive
except in limited portions of the
eastern districts, but in all sections
many fields or parts of fields are
still too wet for seeding or blowing.
The continuance of wet and cloudy
weather will unquestionably tend
to reduce the acreage of cereals to
some extent as compared with
recent dry years. n the northern
section the reports indicate that
seeding is about one-half to two.
thirds completed.
Pasturage is making early
growth, and farm stock are grain q
in many localities. Frui, buds are
showing signs of early blooming
and the prospect is good.

Obituary..

George Joseph Smith was born
in Beloit, Wis, December IL, 1865.
Died in Denver, Col, April 13, 1903.
The deceased had for many years
lived near Extra and was we'll and
favorably known. He was left
motherless when only about years
old and his father died when he
was but mere boy. His home was
with his grandparents. Mr.. Smith
was a hard working Industrious
young man. While for number of
years his health had been poor he
still had courage to fight sickness
or encouragement and was not
willing even to the last to give up.
When his friends prevailed on him
to come back to Iowa and pass his
remaining ysamong his relatives
and with his little girls who were
with their grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Cnonrardy. He still
thought himself strong enough to
make the long journey and although
strong enough to dress himself for
his journey and ready to come, he
was suddenly stricken with death
and he calmly closed his eyes in
death. One who sat near him in
his last moments said they were
like that of trustful babe sinking
to peaceful slumbers on it's mothers
breast.
The remains were brought to
Extra and the funeral services were
held in the Connrardy home Thurs.
day afternoon, April 16, Rev. Wisler
conducting the services. He was
laid to rest in the Extra cemetery
The deceased leaves a wife, two
daughters and host of relatives
and friends to mourn his loss. But
we trust that the loss of these many
friends is his eternal gain. May he
rest in peace and may the God of
love sustain and comfort the
bereaved ones.

The Christian church in Audu-

evening service the amount was

guaranteed. Secretary Denny con
Quoted the dedicatory services and
the house was formally dedicated
to the Lord and His service. The
total amount now pledged is $1433,
making enough to finish up every
thing complete, j. G. Jacobs of
Avoca was present and preached in
the afternoon. A large number
from town were in attendance and
helped in everyway to make the
work success and the friends as
we'll as the members are to be con-
graduated on their generosity.
Everything starts off we'll, Monday
evening at the close of the servic e
husband and wife came forward
and made the good confession and
all seemed rejoiced in view of the
grand prospect of doing good and
the great uplifting in the moral
and spiritual life that a church
means in a community.

Now that the wave of improve
ment has struck the Rock island
railway it would be greatly appre-
ciated by the travelling public if
they would erect new depot here.
Owing to want of room the traveller
can hardly enter the waiting room
tor express goods, trunks and other
articles which have to be housed
but for which there is no room in
the very small space set off for a
freight room. This town does a
greater freight business than many
towns double its size, besides a
large passenger traffic and deserves
something better than the small
rooms the agent and employees have
III which to store the goods.

Decoration Day is not far off and
it is time to begin to think of it.
The cemetery association are doing
noble work in getting the grounds
in shape, but individuals should
aid them by planting flowers over
the last resting place of loved ones
gone. Let us organize early. This
should be one of the biggest times
ever had in the town. We have
talent and means to work on. A
speaker should be provided and
other data looked after early.
