Ii is with sincere regret that we note
the death of Mrs. Olive Bailey, which oc-
Cured at her home near Akron, Mo-,

was we'll known to many Of our readers.
She came from Branch county, Mich,
some twenty-seven years ago, and has
lived in and near Davis City until
about a year ago when she moved to her
present home. For sixteen years she
owned and conducted the depot res.
taurant in Davis City. She is survived
by three sons and daughter, who
mourn the loss of a good mother. Her
husband died several years ago.
The present prospects are that Geo.
Shoemaker will discontinue his weekly
visits up the valley to the home OF a
certain young lady, as on his last trip
he says he saw a large lynx, and the
boys generally are trying to arrange
some other way of visiting their lady
friends than to go after night as they
are afraid they might get bitten, carried
of, or eaten by the lynx.
