The special meetings at the NJ, E.

a marked degree that Rev. Preston
has decided to continue the meeting
all Of next week.
Gov. Elrod has issued a proc
lamation making April 2lst Arbor
Day. Plant a tree on that day. IL
wouldn't hurt anything if you plant

and that time.

Wis, where they spent the past year.
&c. G. has real estate in this locality

Elsewhere in this issue we print
a half tone reproduction of the hog
house and some other buildings on
the farm of ?. E. Murphy, near
Oldham. Mr.. Murphy is one Of the
leading Poland China hog breeders
of the northwest and the cut will give
some idea of his extensive prepare
tions for that line of business. Last
year he sold 100 breeding animals at
an average of about $21.00 each.
His stock is of a fine strain and is
much admired at all the stock shows.
Such an institution as that owned by
Mr.. Murphy is a credit TO Kings.

Again it was brought forcibly
to us on Wednesday of this week
that Death is abroad in the land
and the Spoiler among the
works of the Almighty" Our fellow
townsman, G. S. G. Fuller,
passed away at 8 p. m. of that day,
after an illness dating from the 18th
inst. He was first taken with pleu-
risy, but shortly became better of
thot trouble, although he did not
gain strength. Later, a bowel com
piication set in, which. together with
the fact that his nervous system
was badly impaired, was more than
he was able to overcome. The wife
and the three sons, and the mother
who lives in Brooklyn, have the
sympathy of the entire community
in their bereavement. Funeral SER
vices will be held at Couse's Hall
Sunday at 2 o'clock in The after
noon.
The sympathy of the entire com
munity is extended to MI. and Mrs.
r. A. Rounesville, Of Mathews town
ship, in their bereavement caused by
the deaf h of their daughter, Miss
Olga, Saturday, March 18th, aged
seventeen years. The young lady
had been ailing more or less for sew
eral years. Expert medical aid was
secured, both at home and abroad,
but the young lady was never restor-
ed to perfect health. For some time
prior to her death her health had
been as good as at any time for sever
al years and death come as a sur
prise after a. very brief illness that
was more marked in degree than us
ual. The funeral sew ices were held
at st. Thomas church Monday and
the remains laid at rest Ia the Catho-
lie cemetery. Inc local lodge Of
Woodmen met the funeral procession
as ii entered the city and escorted it
to the church. The blow upon Mr..
and Mrs. Rounesville is severe. They
had done all in their power during
the years of illness to restore the
daughter to health, sparing neither
pains MOI expense.
Present indications are for an
enormous acreage thrugh this coun-
try of wheat the coming season. The
continued high prices have 70
aged many to increase the amount
sown, and it is likely that the year
1906 will be a banner year in the
production Of this cereal.-Arlington
Sun.
The above is only a fair sample of
the items appearing at different
points over the northwest. The
INDEPENDENT, since the short crop of
1904, has taken the position that the
high prices caused by the short crop
would induce the farmers to SOW
more wheat in 1906. We have slso
maintained that it would result dis
astrously to the farming interests.
With wheat around the dollar mark
to the producer, there is good easy
money In the crop. But there is
nothing to assure such a price for
