Mrs. Minerva Ii. Flora.

Mrs. Minerva H. Flora was born No
vember 9th, 1S49 in Jackson county,
Ohio, and died at her home near Davis
City, September 22nd, 1904, at the age
of "a years, 10 months and II days.
In 1865 she moved with her father, A.
A. Patterson, from Gallia county, Ohio,
to Davis City, Iowa, and was married to
Mr., j. G. Flora December End, 1857.
To this union were born seven children:
Edward, Mrs. Laura Snethen, Lee,
Frank and Guy, two of the number hav-
ing died in infancy.
Saturday morning after short SER
vice at her home the remains were
removed to the M. E. church at Davis
City, where an appropriate sermon was
delivered by Rev. Mckay OF Iowa City;
interment followed in the Davis City
cemetery. The pail bearers were
Carter Scott, j. N. Gates, Lloyd Severe
DR.. j. H. Robinson, j. Nj. Howell and
Chas. Rudibaugh. The casket was
covered with beautiful flowers placed
there by kind friends as a tribute of
love and respect to the departed one.
She was kind and loving wife, and
mother; was dearly loved and respected
by all who knew her. Every one did all
in their power for her, and it was hard
to give her up. Her presence will be
greatly missed. She was converted
and united with the U. B. church in
1872.
We saw her suffering, heard her sghs,
With throbbing hearts and weeping eyes;
But now She calmly sleeps at last,
All pains, all griefs, all suferings past
We loved you, yes, no tongue can tell ~
How much We loved you, and how we'll; IS
God loved you, too, and he thought best 8:
To take you home to be at rest.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING OCT. 3, '04.
Des Moines, Iowa,

FOR WEEK ENDING OCT. 3, '04.
Des Moines, Iowa,
The week ending Oct. was warmer
than usual, with some local excess of
rainfall. Conditions were more favor
able to growth..than ripening of vege-
ia tion. But the corn fields have been
quite rapidly transformed in color, and
fully ninety per cent of this great
staple crop is now practically safe. A
general killing frost at any time before
the tenth would unquestionably impair
the quality Of about 10 per cent of the
corn crop of the state; but with that
percentage entirely destroyed the out
put of sound corn would be above the
average Of the past fifteen years. A
period Of drying weather is now needed
to prepare the crop for cribbing, and to
prevent damage to the portion Of the
crop that is lying on the ground.
Reports indicate an unusually good
yield of timothy seed, but clover seed
is very light. The pastures are extra
good for the time of the year. New
seeding of grain and grass has done
notably we'll. AS a whole the crop
season of 1904 has been favorable.

About the Road Tax,

Lamont, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1904.
EDITOR REPoRTER:-In looking the
country over think if the county road
tax was given to the township officials
in the different townships and let them
oversee the work, it would be better to
do away with the county road force, as
it takes them too much of their time on
the road moving from one place to the
next field Of labor. II the tax was given
to the various townships, they would
receive more work than they receive
under the present system. My idea is
for each township to receive it's cwn
proportion of the road tax, which is due
to the taxpayers of each and every
township. Would like to hear from
others in regard to my theory of doing
the county road work. TAXPAYER.

y -
The above is the standing of the var
ious candidates in THE REPORTER S
diamond ring voting contest, when the
votes were counted carly Wednesday
morning. From this time until two
weeks before the contest closes on
Christmas eve, the standing of the can
didates will be published each week,
but no votes received after o'clock on
Wednesday morning will be counted
that week, but will go over until the
next week. In none Of the many con-
tests which this paper has conducted in
the last sixteen years has the vote been
as close between the various candidates
when the first count was made, and it
shows that the friends of all the .candi-
dates are working hard for Them, and a
ismall number of new subscribers would
result in complete change in the
standing of the candidates, as each new
subscriber who pays a years subscrip-
tion secures 600 votes, while for every
dollar paid by present subscriber 200
votes are allowed. The contest can be
said to be just starting, and there is not
single candidate in the list who does
not have splendid chance to jump in
and win the costly and beautiful prize.
Next week may see some Of the candi-
dates who are we'll down in the list at
the head.
The diamond ring can be seen by the
contestants or any one who desires to
see it by calling at THE REPORTER Office,
and those who have seen it pronounce
it as fine diamond ring as they ever
saw. 1t is prize that is we'll worth an
effort to win, and now that the standing
of the candidates is given the votes will
be coming in lively as many persons
have been waiting to see how their
favorite would stand in the race before
voting for them. Every vote cast helps
that much, and there is free coupon in
each issue of THE REPORTER good for
one vote. All you have to do is to cut
it out and bring OF send it to THE RE-
PORTER Office after writing in the name
of the candidate you desire to vote for,
