After the few words were spoken

very much. 80 So

noblest young ladies, and will make q
splendid home for the companion she

A Good Woman Called.

At ten minutes after 10 O'clock on
Monday morning, December %, 1908,
Mrs. Timothy Griffin, of Eden township,
passed away to her eternal reward.
Death was very peaceful and she passed
away as one gently falling to sleep.
Last May she suffered serious attack
of bronchitis, from the effects Of which
she never gained her usual strength,
although able to be up and around.
The deceased maiden name was Julia
Sullivan, and she was born in Leon,
Iowa, May 81, 1877. She resided in and
near Leon all her life. On February p,
1898, she was married to 7. j. Griffin,
and their uuisn was blessed with four
children, Winford NJ, aged 10 years,
Walter E., aged 8 years, Margaret Julia,
aged years, and James, aged months.
Besides her children she leaves loving
husband, father, d. S. Sullivan, of Leon,
three sisters, Mrs. Charles T.. Boylen, of
Eden Valley. Minn., Alice and Kate Sal
livan, of Leon, and two brothers, M. s.
and P. H. Sullivan, Of Kellerton, and
numerous other relatives and friends.
The funeral was he'd Wednesday
morning at 1880 o'clock, at st. Mary &
church, in Woodland, the church which
was her place Of worship. Solemn
requiem mass was celebrated and a
most consoling sermon preached by the
Rev. Father Gaul, of Charlton, Iowa
the services being attended by vast
concourse of sorrowing friends.
May the soul of this faithful depart
ed, through the mercy of God, rest il
Deace

WATCH FOR TAG DAY
Leon is to Have ORe on Saturday,
January 9th. Prepare to Homer
it. For Worthy Cause.

The Tag day spirit has taken posses
sion of the hearts Of Leon women in full
force. 1t is spirit which, like chau
tauqua and other progressive move
ments, has been growing and shoulder
ing under the surface for some time
past only awaiting the touch Of the
torch of real live general public need
to set it flaming into a rousing fire of
enthusiastic endeavor. That torch was
applied when at the last City Fedora
tion meeting the united clubs of the
town were discussing ways and means
whereby the beautiful rest room in our
new court house might be suitably
furnished. Some one said Lets have a
tag day." Immediately all saw that
here was the place for applying the
idea. Here was an interest common to
every resident of Decatur county, and
therefore one in which all could be
asked to join with a will.
So resolutions were adopted, com
mittees appointed and the second Sat
urday in January was named as the day.
Everything is moving nicely toward a
great success. Let every man woman
and child in town and county begin
now to save their dimes to buy tags.
1t will be impossible to resist the
twenty-five pretty young ladies who
will be on hand at every street corner
to tag you, not once but as many times
as you have dimes. So get ready! Let
us have enough money to prettily fur
nish the prettiest rest room in Iowa.

A Cold Wave is Due Soon.

A temperature Of thirty degrees be-
low zero is pretty cold weather but
even colder than that is promised in
this city soon. More than ten times
thirty below will be the temperature in
the tank that contains Liquid Air which
Prof. Patty will use for experiments
next Wednesday night, Jan. 13, at the
opera house. Liquid Air is one of the
most paradoxical substances known-a
liquid looking and flowing like water
but absolutely dry; 312 degrees below
zero yet produces heat $500 above zero,
and in almost the same space. 1t boils
on ice, steel melts in it, alcohol solidi-
fies in it, tin, iron and rubber are made
brittle, and quicksilver is made hard as
steel. These, and many other expert
ments will be performed. Mr.. Patty
brings specimens of the new mineral
Radium. Also, a wireless telegraph
apparatus and will give demonstra-
tion Of these three wonderful subjects
1t is very seldom that an attraction
comes here endorsed half SO emphatic
ally as is this novel and instructive trio
| of wonders.

Bradley-Wasson.

There was very quiet home wedding
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John W.
Wasson in this city Monday morning
at 10 o'clock when their daughter, Miss
Hadge, was united in marriage to Mr..
II. J. Bradley, of Dallas, Texas, the core
lnony being performed by Rev. ]. l..
Boyd, pastor of the M. r. church, only
the Immediate relatives being present.
Following the ceremony wedding
breakfast was served and the young
folks departed on the noon train for
Galveston, Texas, and other points, and
will be at home at Dallas, Texas, after
January 18th.
The bride is one of Leon's we'll known
and charming young ladies, and warm
favorite among a large circle of friends.
The groom while stranger to us is a
young man Of sterling qualities, one OF
the hustling young businessmen OF
Dallas.
Many friends of the bride in this vi
cinity extend heartiest congratulations
and wish them much happiness.

WATER pOWE RiFLOUR MILL
Clean as a Model Kitchen Says the
. Wholesale Grocer.

You don't hear SO much about the
water power mill these days" said the
grocer, probably because there are SO
few of them. But the millers who grind
with water power certainly have big
advantage not only in economy but in
cleanliness.
"You'd think so if you should inspect
the mills l recently visited at Law
renee, Kansas, where Zephyr Flour is
made.
at is sight for man or woman who
likes to know the 60 I'd articles are kept
as clean as human care can keep them.
These mills are light, airy and as free
from dirt as model kitchen. The alb
sense of a big smoky steam plant GER
tainly helps.
The Bowersock Mills and Power Com
pany say that they have not utilized
their fuel saving to cut down the cost
of production, but have put it into
every Improvement that makes better
flour. 1t is not hard to believe that
The equipment of these mills is the
