southerners are satisfied with bare
existence. Appearances in this case
prove that. Instances like these are
noted all along the line. Few and
far between are the homes occupied by
residents of twenty years ago. 1t is
indeed new generation controlling
the situation No wonder the former
resident is not satisfied to remain
when he moves back. He is really a
stranger and in a strange land.
On a small farm near the village Of
Ferguson lives the Rev. Isaac Johnson
and wife, pioneers of Marshall county,
whose experiences have been truly re-
markable. Mr. Johnson is now in his
hi yyif ic to-
years younger. Their golden wedding
anniversary was celebrated ten years
ago. AS his title indicates Mr.. john
son is preacher. His early minister
iai experiences occurred in Indiana
where he travelled circuit preaching
about $50 sermons year at points
averaging some fifteen or twenty miles
apart. For twenty years he was the
pastor of the Christian church of Tim
Der Creek Grove For about three
years he filled a semi monthly appoint
ment with rural congregation COM
posed largely of Marshall county peo-
pie who settled in Crawford county
in the western part of Iowa and later,
in the last of the los and early SOS,
six years in all, he preached in a SINH
lar way to a congregation in Audubon
county. He has ceased active work
now but the last request of many of
the departing pioneers of this locality
is that Father Johnson be present at
the funeral and speak the last words.
On one of the walls of their house
hangs a picture containing the por-
traits of six men and six women, the

HOME NEWS.

Editor Bee: May l call attention through your column to few points oi importance to the hunters when the season opened last Thursday. That excuses of forgetting their license card will not go this fall, because of the different dates at which the licenses expire and that the same penalty IS fixed for failure to produce a license while hunting as for not having pro, cured one. That mink is a protected quadruped and that the Statute says that "No person shall hunt, pursue, take or Kill any bird or quadruped pro- tected by law without having first ob. tained a license. Consequently all those who have been in the habit of trapping mink must have d license and carry it with them while on the rounds of their traps. Also that the ruflled grouse have far from regained their former numbers and that moderation is urged for all those who enjoy this hunting. .-[Wilbur F. Smith, County Warden.

One of the saddest catastrophes of the year was the drowning in Penobscot Bay, off Deer Isle, Me-, September l, of seven persons who had been spend ing their vacations in that region. The sloop on which they were taking days excursion capsized, and only two of the party besides the captain were saved. Among those drowned was the wife of Prof E. s. Crawley of the Un- iversity of Pennsylvania. Miss Eliza beth G. Evans, a teacher in the Eng fish department of Mount Holyoke College, and Jason H. Hutchins of Billerica, Mass, student in the nior class of bangor Theological Seminary. He has been supplying church on Deer Isle during the summer, and was en- gagged to be married to Miss Dorothea Beach, a daughter of President Beach, of Bangor Seminary. This accident attracts attention because of the num- Der drowned and the character of the victims, but seven are only minute fraction of those who have thus lost their lives during the past year. The Chicago Tribune, which has kept a more or less complete record, puts the number at S43. It is the sad side of happy vacation days that so many who soiourn near deep water lose their lives while sailing or bathing.
