Brown was with him during the
last few days of his life. Thus hath
passed from life one who was for
many years prominently identified
with this village and community.
a figure familiar to all, no more
will be seen in his accustomed daily
walks. The fathers of the village
are disappearing, and soon none OF
the superior older class will be left.
Time moves on, and so the conduct
Of affairs falls into the hands OF the
rising generations.
FAIR WAS A SUCCESS.
The county fair was bowling
success, due to the teachers and
pupils of the schools. 1t was great
lob to arrange all the stands,
booths, shoot the chutes and special
attractions. There were nearly all
the features usually seen at fair,
and some unusual features. Nearly
600 people enjoyed the fun. The
high school band furnished music.
MANY of the take-offs were very
Iaughabte. As a result of the enter
prise about 800 will be added to
the piano fund. It was a great
picnic for the children, but hard
working teachers should not be ex-
pected to do such extra work. The
district Is amply able, and probably
willing, 70 pay for the high school
piano in the usual way. One en-
ioyable feature of an informal
gathering OF this kind is the promo
ton of a kind and neighborly feel
ing-t the good old-fashioned friend
illness. which is not advanced by
many of the restricted and exclusive
forms Of present-day social doings.
LOST VALUABLE HORSE.
The fine Victory driver which Ed.
Welch bought at John Patterson's
sale recently, while running through
a shed struck his head against
beam. killing him instantly. Mr..
WEIGH had refused 5000 for him.
ROUGH ACCIDENT.
Last Wednesday, while helping
Carl Selle & Sons grind some feed,
John Pennock suffered quite an ac-
cident. A section was broken from
the balance wheel, and one of the
spOkes hit Mr.. Pennock's arm be
tween the wrist and elbow. cutting
up the flesh and spllntering one of
the bones quite badly. He went to
Dubuque to have a surgeon dress
the wound and place the splinters,
and is expected to return this week.

1t was an eventful moment in
court at Lancaster last week when
Judge ClementSOn -SOIemnly handed
down the information that Grant
Ballantine, having been signally
favored above the generality of
mankind, was excused from the
jury duty, if he so desired. 1t was
Grants first notification of twins at
his home in Bloomington. Needless
to say, he came home in a hurry,
and has been buster than a cram
berry merchant ever since. But
Grant lives IN a twin zone, there
being three pairs within two blocks
of his house.
