Funeral of Mrs. Severance.

The funeral of Mrs. Alice Severance,
wife of E. W. Severance, was held at
the M. E. church last Sunday after
noon at 2 O'Clock, Rev. W. E. J. Gratz
officiating at the services at the church
while the Ladies of the Maccabees
took charge of the ceremonies at the
grave. Mr.. Severance arrived from
Gilroy, Cal, Thursday evening with
the body of his wife and the remains
were taken to the home of Mrs. Stephen
Palmer where they remained until the
funeral services. Mr.. and Mrs. Sew
'erance left for California about four
years ago and located at Gilroy,
where Mr.. Severance's father was liv-
ing. While living in Princeton they
made many warm friends who regret
the untimely death of Mrs. Severance,
for she was only forty-three years Of
age. Her maiden name was Alice
Jumper and she was born in Milo,
Maine, July 18th, 1860. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Severance October 18th,
1880 and of four children born to them
three are dead and are buried in the
Princeton cemetery where the mother
was laid away. One daughter fifteen
years of age survives. Mrs. Sever
ance died at Gilroy, Cal, March 18th.
She was a member of the Baptist
church and also the Ladies of the
Maccabees of Princeton and the Yoe-
mans of California.

for without it it would be impossible to
make the land produce any crops at
all. It sells all the way from S27 to
S35 ton, and in fertilizing land
about 200 pounds is used to an acre.
It is so rich that it will increase the
yield all of twenty-five per cent the
first year and land that has been
treated with this fertilizer will remain
rich for several years. None of this
fertilizer has ever been used in this
section, but those who realize that
there is much of the old land tributary
to Princeton that is not producing any
kind of yield either in quantity or
quality, are of the opinion that farm
ers could not make better investment
than to buy some of this fertilizer and
use on their fields that have been over
worked for many years. Mr.. Craig
states that back in Ohio where he
lived many years farmers used this
fertilizer with very beneficial results,
and from the standpoint of a miller
who is interested in seeing the farmers
raise grain of a good, sound and
hardy quality he thinks that there are
many farmers in this section who
could use the fertilizer with paying re-
suits. Some of the old potato buyers
also think that there are many fields
that ought to be renewed with this
fertilizer, which possesses ammonia,
phosphoric acid and potash, just what
old land needs to build it up. There
can be no hardy plant life where the
soil is old and lacking in terminating
and maturing elements. There is no
business proposition in the handling
of this fertilizer by the mill other than
a sale to farmers at just what the
fertilizer can be laid down in Prince
ton for, and if enough farmers can be
interested in the matter the mill will
get in car load for those who desire
to use it.

Little Fails and Brainerd are Casting
Longing Eyes at Coyeted Territory.
The proposition to get an electric
line to Mile Laos lake seems to be a
thing that won't down. Little Falls
has been holding meetings for the pro-
motion of electric lines and the farm
ers of Morrison county are taking
hold of the scheme in connection with
the commercial club of Little Falls.
They claim to have capital interested
but are also seriously considering a
proposal to bond the county for $780,
600 to help the work.
This has set Brainerd to thinking
and meeting is to be called there to
discuss the project and as they put it
devise means of protecting their terri
tory before Little Falls cuts into it.
All this should set Aitkin and the
people of the Aitkin end of the lake
to serious thinking, said an Aitkin
business man yesterday. It would be
to the mutual advantage of Aitkin and
that part of the lake country in Aitkin
county to have a line to Aitkin which
is the county seat and natural outlet
for that territory.
Enough influence and capital could
no doubt be raised by Aitkin and
those interested along the line to build
either a steam or an electric road that
would in time be a link to through
line north and south and it might be a
wise thing for the Aitkin Commercial
club and the Mile Laos people to
get together and talk business.-Ait-

The Easter Lily.

The lily, and there are more than
fifty original species, is a native of
the temperate zone, but the lily used
here at Easter is not the white lily of
England or Europe nor the St. Joseph
lily, but the Bermuda lily brought
from the Bermuda islands to the
United States in 1875.
A field of them seen by the soft light
of a Bermuda moon is said to be one
of the most beautiful sights imagin-
able. Still, when examined closely,
the flower in it's native cline is found
to be lacking in satiny texture and
the blossoms, though much larger,
are coarser than those grown here.

Liberal Receipts of Eggs.

Eggs are coming into the hands of
the merchants of Princeton in lively
manner at present. The barnyard
fowl has started in to. lay out lot of
work for the season and as a result
eggs are getting cheap for Easter time.
Last Monday Sam Carew's store took
in over $50 dozen eggs, the biggest
receipts for single day for long
time. Last week Princeton merchants
were paying fourteen cents for eggs,
while adjoining towns were only pay
ing ten and twelve cents. The market
for the week started out at twelve
cents and will go lower as receipts
increase. Last winter eggs went as
high. as twenty-five cents a dozen.
Tuesday 720 dozen eggs were shipped
to Duluth from Princeton.
