MORTUARY.
Mrs. e. w. DoollttIe

Flora Augusta Wilson was born in
keosauqua, Iowa, Feb. 10, 1854. She.
was married to DIR. E. w. Doolittle, Nav
l9, 1875. By this union were born Fred
Warren, Guy Wilson and Don Harper.
Guy is the only one living. Except a
short residence in Sterling, Iowa, and
Chicago, Illinois, she has lived in Gar
den Grove, coming here with her hus-
band, November "a, 1879. She died in
Ottumwa, Iowa, July 3, 1904. When a.
young girl she united with the Congre-.
gatlonal church in Keosauaua. then bv
letter with the Garden Grove Presby-
terrain church in 1883, of which she has
has been loyal and devoted member.
For almost twenty-four years she has
lived in our city and has been greatly
esteemed and beloved. She has filed
with rare grace and usefulness her
place in her home and church and So
clety in general and also in the p. b, O.
order. From girlhood she has been
blessed with sweet voice and almost
every Sabbath for many years has sung
the praises of God. She has been faith
full in attendance at public Worship
morning and evening and alse at the
mld-Week prayer meeting. We will all
sadly miss her. No one can express
what her loss will be to her beloved
husband, son, brother and sisters and
her church and 'order" and to our en-
tire community.
The funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday after
noon at half past two o'clock and were
conducted by her pastor Rev. j. @. Hail..
me choir was composed of Mesdames
EIDE, G. W. Hoadley, Misses Louise Flan-,
a nd
Hoadley and Messrs. r. D. Hall, L. W..
Eide, Leo Sullivan and R. G. Hoadlev
and Miss Ruth Stearns presided at the
organ. Mrs. Doolittle's place in the
choir was draped in mourning and the,
vacant chair recalled to all the years
OF faithful service which she had rem
dered as member of that body. She
will be sadly missed there as we'll as in
other lines of church work. An appro-
pirate anthem was sung with much feel
ing. Rev. Hall paid eloquent tribute to-
the noble, womanly life so suddenly
closed,of the now bereft and lonely home
which she had made the dearest spot
on earth to the husband and son and
where by her happy way she had shed
sunshine in the shady places of life. A
refined and highly cultured woman Of
rare mental attachments, an earnest
christian and general friend, all this
she was to the social life of this
place, while in her home, she proved
herself to be the ideal wife and mother,
devoted to the welfare and happiness of
her family.
Those attending the funeral from
distance were B. S. Wilson and daughter
Lizzie, OF Keosauqua, Iowa, James.
Crowley, of Charlton, Iowa, Mrs. Solo
mon Vail, Eft. Wayne, Ind, and Miss
Lillian Sterrett, of Chariton.-Garden

A few years ago we had occasion to

was the income of the money lender
and the laborer and farmer and as near
as we can remember the interest was
double the profit of the laborer and
farmer. Add this to about 40f of a
protective on manufactured goods and
the excessive railroad tariffs, together
with the immense amounts paid out to
old line insurance companies and then
loaned back to the farmers at high in
tcrest rates is it any wonder that the
farmers can barely make ends meet or
have to borrow money to do business
with. This tells the story why the
exodus of the farmers children to the
cities.

The Van Vert fans are unhappy and
quite few of them are wondering how
it happened. There is only one conclu-
sion, they were out classed. They were
prepared for defeat but expected to
hold down better game and would
have done SO if they hadn't lost their
heads. Jersey pitched fine game for
the first four or five innings but dis
gusted at the poor support lost all in
terest and hope. The pitchers on both
sides were hit, and hit hard. Wood
lands support was fine while Van
Wert's was as bad as could be. If any,
thing the Van Vert team hit the hard
est. On our own grounds and our BOYS
at their best they could make it inter-
esting for Woodland and not get any of

did the Fourth.
