DEATHS GRIM HARVEST
The Grim Reaper Has Gathered a
Bountiful Harvest, Among the
Old, Young and Middle-Aged.
James Preston.

James Preston was born in County
Antrim, Ireland, March IL, 1886, and
died at his home in Leon, Iowa, March
8, 1908, aged II years, l months and 18
days.
When 10 years of age he came to
Canada, where he remained one year.
From there he went to New York, where
he remained for short time. He then
went to Marion county, Ohio, where he
resided for many years. 1t was here
he met and won as his life companion
Miss Mary G.. Barnthouse, and they
were happily married June 13, 1861. To
this union four children were born, all
of whom survive him. They are Miss
Ella Preston and Mrs. Pearl Halverson,
of Leon; Chester Preston and Mrs.
Emma Danforth, of Miles City, Montana.
In June, 1900, his wife, the companion
of so many years, preceded him to the
spirit world. To him this was sore
bereavement, and for her he never
ceased to mourn.
In January, 1892, he came with his
family to Decatur county, and located on
a farm ! miles north of Leon, where he
lived until about three years ago, when
he came to Leon. So that for more than
sixteen years he has gone in and out
among the people of this community.
Those who knew him unite in bearing
testimony to his excellent christian
character, and his true worth as a citi-
zen, and as man. The foundation of
his christian character was laid while
he was quite young. His parents were
Cody people, members of the Presby-
terian church, and in that faith he
fN MOI nj hNn1 nd oil h1
Of his life he remained true to those
early teachings. After his marriage he
with his wife united with the New
Light church, from which they never
withdrew their membership. And though
Brother Preston had not active MEM
bership with any church in this COM
munity, yet he remained a faithful and
devoted christian, never failing to ask
blessing at the table, indeed living in
the hope of a blessed Immortality. He
was very quiet and reserved in manner,
SO that perhaps few outside of his own
family knew of the real depth of his
feeling. His last illness was Of short
duration, though he had been in de-
clining health during the winter. On
stroke from which be never rallied. He

until Thursday evening when the spirit
took its flight. A kind and gentle spirit
has gone from us. May the sorrowing
ones who remain be comforted with the
hope of blessed Heavenly reunion.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Sunda y afternoon
at o'clock, the sermon being preached
by Rev. ]. L. Boyd, who was assisted by
Rev. W. E. Kunz, interment being in
the Leon cemetery.

LESSON FOR sPITTERs.

The city ordinance reads:
mo person shall spit upon any public
sidewalk, or upon the floor of any pub
lie conveyance, or upon the floor of any
theatre, hall, assembly-room or public
building, under penalty of not less
than 81 nor more than So for each Of
fense.'
In the cases tried as the result of
recent police roundup the fine assessed
against each one Of twenty accused men
was 50. That served the purpose of a
gentle reminder, and it is not likely to
be forgotten by the person Immediately
concerned. Moreover, it is to be hoped
that the publicity given these cases
will spread the knowledge Of the fact
that there is an ordinance against spit
ting and that this will act as deter
rent. But there need be no cessation of
police activity on that account. More
fines will emphasize the lesson that is
being so properly taught and conduce
to general cleanliness.

]. W. Delk has started new industry
in Leon, the Hawk-Eye Glove and Nit
ten Factory, and last week delivered
the first order of gloves made at the
new factory to F. N. Hansell. For the
present the work is being carried on at
his residence, and they will make plain,
knit wrist and gauntlet gloves, and re-
versible, plain and faced mittens. He
expects to have dies for cutting by
April LIST, and when they are received
he will be able to give employment to
quite cumber of women and girls in
the factory. 1t is estimated that not less
than 1000 dozen cotton gloves and nit
tens are sold in Decatur county each
year and these can just as we'll be made
right here at home. We are pleased to
see Mr.. Delk start new industry and
our merchants who sell these goods
should give him every encouragement.
