of them began to think that they got
up unusually early that morning until
one of the clerks happened TO discover
that the clock had stopped by looking
at his watch.

Settlers of Wheeler Prairie took place
Wednesday at the farm of Mr.. ard Mrs.
Geo. n. Campbell three miles east of
town. The day was beautiful with
breeze blowing to make the summer
heat scarcely noticeable, and the attend
ance consequently was large. Continu-
ously ever since 1876 have been held
these annual gatherings of old and young
from which the greatest amount of
pleasure is, perhaps, perhaps CLEANED by
the older people who find in them occa-
sions for re- union with old neighbors and
the exchange of "reminiscences of bygone
years. The attendance Wednesday is
estimated at considerably over a hun
dred and comprised residents of Slough
ton, Albion, Stebbinsville, Edgerton

were served in the house. After dinner

o'clock, when the company was called to
order by Mr.. John Martin, the venerable
president of the Old Settlers Association.
The following officers were thereupon
elected by reclamation: President. John
Martin; Vice President, B. T. Watson;
Secretary, Fl. E. Roberts; Treasurer, ].
G.. Cannon.

G. Logan, Darius Roberts, Canton, Ill,
who has not missed meeting for many
years, Mrs. Lee Page, of Dunkirk; and

from" Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
was given by little Beulah Heddles of

Estes on the first Wednesday in June,
and after rendering vote of thanks to
their hosts, the company began to dis
perse. The following is list of the

Obituary.
MRS. B. G., HALL.

Death came suddenly to Mrs. Mary
Eta Hall at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. f. G. Hutson at GAINESVILLE, shortly
after 10 o'clock Saturday evening. De-
ceased was "a years of age and was in
fairly good health almost up to the time
of her death. She was out riding with
her daughter, Mrs. Hutson, Saturday
and was not complaining of feeling badly.
The immediate cause of her death was
heart failure and old age. Mrs. Hall
settled in Albion, Dane county, with her
husband in 1S48 and resided there and
at Milton junction until about three
years ago when she came to GAINESVILLE to
live with her daughter. She was highly
respected by all who knew her and had
many warm friends who will mourn her
death. She leaves one daughter, Mrs.
F. G. Hutson of GAINESVILLE, and son
residing in Iowa, also a brother in Be-
lott. Funeral services were held from
the home of her daughter Tuesday
morning, Rev. L. @. Randolph officiating,
and the remains taken to Albion by
teams for burial. A short service took
place at the grave.
