The Huston Family.

The DeGraff Journal, speaking of
the Huston family, in its notice of
Mr.. Harper Huston's death, says:
"Born in Hamilton county, Ohio,
September Is, 1928, he came with his
parents to Logan county when three
months old. The family, consisting
of seven sons and five daughters,
of which Harper was the sixth child,
made their home on the farm now
owned by Charles Newman, two miles
south of town. There are now six
surviving members of the Huston
family-Andrew, John and Thomas
Huston, of DeGraff, Mrs. Catherine
Gretchen, of Huntsville, Mrs. Martha
Fielder, of Bellefontaine, and Mrs.
Lizzie Hoff, of Minnesota. Two chill
dren died in infancy, making, in all,
fourteen children born to the parents
of Mr.. Huston. The twelve children
of the household, who lived to years
of maturity, have had the path of
duty frightened by their early train
ing by Christian parents. These
memories have been cherished in low
| ing gratitude, and priced as the
crowning Jewel through life, and we
believe MIR. Huston's faith in the
Lord was his solace when the Death
Angel visited him last Sabbath morn
ing"
The integrity, uprightness, moral.
ity and patriotism of this family
have made them desirable neighbors
and good citizens in every commun
lity where they have lived.

Look Out for the Future.

Fifty thrifty native forest trees,
set out on the hill at Silver Lake,
where picnickers most congregate,
will fill pressing want twenty years
from now when the large oak trees
are gone. 1t is a fact that forest
trees that are tramped about by
horses and men die out in a few
years, while young forest trees sci
out grow thriftily if properly trans
planted. Sugars, hickories, elms,
box elders, Inns, hackberries make
fine shade trees, and will make a
beautiful grove that will be worth
money to the place twenty, year,
from now. The resort cannot be kept
up without good shade.

AGREEMENTS AFFECT
ALL UNION MINES
There Can Be No Strike for One
YedT--PriCe of Coal May
Go Down.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 25.-Miners
headquarters this morning an
nounced the settlement of the last
trouble in any union mine in the
country, and for one year every un-
ion is bound by agreements, so there
can be absolutely no strikes, unless
some point is violated. Miners be-
lieve that with such an understand
ing, the price of coal will go down.
The strike settled today was in the
Alabama district, where 1900 men
were out. pending renewal of an
agreement which expired July 13.
The West Virginia mines, of course
are not union mines and are not in
cluded. There the strike is merely
an effort of the union to better the
conditions of common labor.
