The Meade Grain & Seed &c,

The Meade Grain & Seed &c.
has this year bought 100000
bushels of wheat besides a large
quantity of other grains and
seeds. They have taken in about
$40, 100000 worth of alfalfa seed.
The alfalfa seed this fall is of
better quality than common for
even Meade county and that is
going some on quality, for Meade
seed always ranks above that of
any other place. selling at Kan
sas City.
AS remarked in another place
in these columns the alfalfa seed
of this county this fall is of extra
quality, though the yield in some
instances is light. On the whole
the crop will not amount to as
many bushels for the county this
season, as some others, but the
ruling price on the market is
above the average, and the crop
of this county always sells above
the market quotations. This
fact coupled with the extra grade
of seed this year will bring to
the farmers of the county as
large, or larger cash returnes for
the crop than common.

Last Saturday w. L. Smith,
who is working in the Braden
Grocery store, met with very
painful accident. He drove to
his house where the grocery has
potatoes stored, to bring a few
sacks to the store. The house
is Of cement block construction
and over the door of this unfn-
ished there is long block, which
had not been securely fastened,
there being noweight on it. The
rain had swel1ed the door, and
after he stepped out he asked his
wife to force the door shut and
lock it. This she did by giving
the door a slam. The loose
block above the door fell striking
him squarely on top of the head,
cutting through a heavy cap and
laying the scalp open an inch and
half. After he came too, and
washed the blood out of his eyes
he drove up town and had the
wound dressed at the drug store.
So far nothing serious has come
of it.

married to Lucinda West in
Mercer county, Pennsylvania.
Soon after this they moved to
Rock Island, ILL.,, and in Rock
Island and Mercer counties
their family of eleven children
were born. In the spring of
1879, they moved to Meade coun-
ty, Kansas, where Mrs. Smith
died, June %, 1889, and was
buried in the churchyard near
the homestead. This sacred
spot was daily visited by him,
nor could he be persuaded to
leave that country until bit of
ground was purchased in East
side cemetery in this city and
her remains reintered here, Dec.
81, 1894. Since then he has
made his home with his children,
but always lodging for the time
when he might be laid to rest be-
side her. He was converted and
joined the Methodist-Episcopal
church in his early manhood.
Not always busy at the Lords
work, he made some crooked
paths, but in his last years it was
all made right and he died in the
triumphs of a living faith. The
funeral service was held in the
Hadley Chapel church of which
he was a member. To-day his
last wish is fulfilled and we leave
him beside her with the full as
surance that allis well with him,
and with bright hopes of a g1or-
ious reunion in the Heavenly
Home. He leaves two sons, four
