OF her daughter, Mrs. H. M. Stone,

indicating pain following which
she fell backwards and lapsed in
to Inconsistencies and death.
Funeral services were held at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Stone on
Saturday, conducted by Rev. w.
M. Covert, pastor of the Presby-
terian church, and interment was

course, centered in the leading
actress and she fully sustained her

not as large as such a high class
company deserves.

Winter continues to linger in the
lap of spring with stubborn tenac-
ity. More snow Sunday and more
blow Monday. Yesterday, howev-
er, Old Sol came out from his hid
ing place and everything was love-
ly again. But there is no telling
how long it will last.
Since the change of the evening
time table parties who desire to
catch the evening mail must get
into the postoffice before 5 o'clock.
The bus leaves the postoffice at
5 and the mail is made up shortly
before that time. 1t is important
that the busy business man should
remember the change.

stock at the stockyards at this

aged about $24. Young and medi-
