DIED Tuesday Nov. 18th, Mrs

months, and 5,days, at the T. p. Nor
man home in this city. Mrs. Martin
was born at Clinton, India. After the
marriage of her daughter to Mr.. L. p.
Norman, she made her home with
that family. The mother and daugh-
ter had only been separated eighteen
months until death claimed Mrs
Norman just four weeks and five days
before Mrs. Martin was called to the
Great Beyond. For some time Mrs.
Martin was trouble with dropsy, which
together with her advanced years, was
the cause of death.
Her family consisted of three sons
and three daughters, Mrs. n. S. Main
er, of Saunmian, H., j. A. Scott, of
Hutchinson, Kan, and NJ. A. Scott,
of Marshall, Oklahoma, j. Nj. Scott,

There are also surviving seventeen
grandchildren and tw~enty-four great

city. Nh. Norman started Wednesday
morning with the remains of Mrs.
Martin and his wife for Saunemin, ILL.,,
where both will have their final rest
ing place, and where funeral services
for Mrs. Martin will be held. The
sympathy of our people goes out to
the Norman family in this their sec

as briefly announced last week. Mr..
T. II. Kant, a member of the old firm
has bought out the interest of his
partner, Mr.. Youngquist, and will con
continue the business. He has not
fully matured his plans, but it is his
intention to keep the feed mil open
for the winter, and about Mar. 1st
open the creamery again. Nearly all
the farmers have only spring COWS,
and the amount of cream produced in
