Death of Mother Parnham

At IL o'clock on the evening of July
81, 1909, MIS-. George Parnham passed
out of this earthly life in which she had
sojourned for SO many years, and went
to that heavenly home prepared for
those worthy of eternal life.
Millicent Padley was born January
30, 1880, near G%rantham, England. She
was married to George Parnham May
20. 1S49, and came to America in 1854
to join her husband who had come two
years before and settled in Whiteside
county, Illinois. OF the nine children
that came to bless their home, six have
| passed on before. Those remaining are
John III. Parnham of Audubon, Iowa;
w. S. Parnham, Colorado Springs; and
G.. r. Parnham of Des Moines, Iowa.
! She is also survived by her husband
George Parnham who will be at home
with his son John Parnham where
they had been cared for several months
before the mothers death.
Very early in life She had joined the
| Church of England. Some time after
coming to this country she united with
the Methodist Episcopal church down
in Poweshiek county, Iowa, and con-
tinued a faithful member and regular
attendant as long as she was able. The
funeral services were held at the M. L.
church in Audubon on Thursday after
noon conducted by Rev. ID. b. s. Pra-
ther and the body was buried in the
Maple Grove Cemetery.

ton, who acknowledged fifteen years,
had in getting a marriage license. They
We're accompanied by the youths moth
err and the girls father and were serene
in the knowledge that these would con
sent to the marriage. Their consterna-
ton was pitiful when it was learned
that the consent of both parents of each
party was necessary. But the young
man was undaunted and securing a no
tary to go with him, he returned about
ten thirty that evening with necessary
consent, the license was issued and the

Bad Roads In Iowa

Chas. b. Landis in referring to his
ride from Atlantic said no one could de-
scribe the beauty, grandeur and glory
of the country as he saw it by the way.
But while we had the most beautiful
and the most fertile country we had the
worst roads in the Middle West. In
conversation after the lecture he said
that Illinois had passed a law to have
its convicts crush stone for use Oh the
roads-without further cost. The Hi
nois Central Railway then agreed TO
haul the stone to Urbana and Champaign
for nothing except the screenings if the
farmers would haul the stone on the

Weston OwIer Wedding

Announcements are being received by
the friends of the contracting parties
saying that Walter Winfield Weston and
Ella Florene Fowler were married
Wednesday July 20, 1909, at Audubon,
Ia. The ceremony was performed at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. l.. Finch by
the Rev. Arthur b. Miller, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, at half past two in
the afternoon. The bride is a stranger
here having come from Illinois to visit
Mrs. Finch, an intimate friend for many
years. She has made a pleasing impress
sion upon those who have met her as q
lady of refinement and culture.
Miss Fowler has been q lifelong friend
of Mrs. Finch's and it was at the home
of the latter, then Miss Minkler, some
months ago. that Mr.. Weston met his
future bride. Mrs. Weston is a charm
ing woman and the community will find
her a pleasant acquisition and neighbor.
Mr.. Weston is well known, having re-
sided in Viola township for the past 30
years, where he has built mp a fine farm
noted for its Clydesdale horses and Po-
land China hogs.
After the ceremony Mrs. Finch served
a two-course wedding luncheon, and
scarcely had the guests left the table be-
fore the women friends of the neighbor-
hood, chaperoned by Messrs. William
Cloughly and Charles Z. Elliott, extend
ed their congratulations to the newly
welded couple by a charivari. Mr.. and
Mrs. Weston appeared and Mr.. Weston
expressed his appreciation of their we'll
wishes in a substantial way and we un-
derstand there was a neighborhood feast
in the evening.
MI. and Mrs. Weston took the even
ing train on the Rock Island and after a
few days s~ojourn will be at home to
their friends at Bethel Hillside Farm.

Another chautauqua Assured

When Sunday came in dark and wet
and only half the tickets taken for next

qua was not very good. But when two
hundred were added Sunday evening,
Prof. Giberson set to work and by noon
Wednesday lacked only seventy-five,
which were promptly taken by some of
the business men in order to complete
the number necessary to guarantee the
chautauaua for next year.

No Change in Assessment

County Auditor Cousins has been no
titled by Secretary Dawson of the State
Executive Council at Des Moines that
no change has been made in the assess
ment of either personal property or real
estate from this county. The only
change made by the Board of S~upelvis-
ors was in Hamlin township of 80 per
CEN on feeding steers. This speaks well
for the assessors of this county.

Practically every farmer in tho
Ault district has his field of from
ten to nfty-hve acres of barley this
year. And yet less than half a dozen
years ago. barley In that part of the
country was looked upon as a freak

Greeley Tribune:
Having tried at various times u
form for my own use an opinion o
what Greeley will be like in about
another decade, | have been inter
ested in your invitation TO citizens
to express their ideas along that line.
| have also been interested by the
views already expressed and while /
do not take exception to any of the
somewhat glowing prophecies here
tofore presented, | wish to offer a
rather more conservative estimate,
based upon what seems to me to be
logical reasons.
Greeley has more than trebled in
population in the past nine years.
She has not only held her own, but
has grown steadily through the past
two years, during what have been
called hard times. This proves
that the economic forces building up
our city are steady and strong. They
are making for progress in spite OF
small disturbances, like a strong en-
gine which carries its load forward
either with or against the wind; and
simply maintaining her present rate
of growth will make Greeley a city
of at least 10000 people in ten more
years.
The growth of this city is being

within the Next Ten Years

I accelerated because of rapid increase
| in desirability as residence town
but there are several other reasons
why Greeley should continue to grow
at least as fast as she has.
First. she will double her terri
tory. A large amount of land trib-
utary is being brought under irri-
CATION and will soon be settled with
people who will need much from the
largest nearby town. This will re-
ST 1t in increased business and profits
for our merchants and professional
men and will induce many new peo-
pie to locate here and enter these
pursuits.
Further, all our land will double
in value in a few years. This must
be so; for at its present prices our
land is yielding the owner more than
twice the per cent of profit that it
is yielding the land owner of the
east and the Mississippi valley. The
farmer in the Mississippi valley can
never produce a crop that will net
him to exceed $50 per acre, while
ours will often net three times that
AS soon as capital discov-
ers this fact it will flow in until the
interest or profit rate is equalized.

UP TO LEGISLATURES
Income Tax Resolution Through
Both Houses Of Congress.

Washington, July 13.-It is now up
to the legislatures of the several
states to say whether there shall be
an income tax amendment to the Con-
stitution.
By the decisive vote of 317 to II,
more than the necessary two-thirds,
the house passed the senate joint
resolution providing for the submis.
sion Of the question to the states. The
negative votes were all cast by Re-
publicans. No amendment having
been made to the resolution, it now
goes to the president for his signature.
Practically four hours were con-
sumed in debating the proposition,
and this afforded many members,
mostly Democrats, an opportunity to
air their views. Chairman Payne of
the committee on ways and means
voiced the sentiment that such tax
would make "a nation of liars,'' al
though he said it was well that such
power should be given congress, es-
pecially in times Of war. u.

law prevails in the southern Cape
Breton coal fields. Troops are guard
ing the collieries of the Dominion
company and an attempt will be made
to operate the mines under military
protection. Six hundred men from
the Canadian permanent forces have
arrived here. They were divided into
detachments and distributed among
the various collieries, and now the
general feeling Is that the scenes
which attended the first three days
Of the strike are at an end. Sentries
with fixed bayonets guard the ap-
proaches to all the collieries and at
No. 2 and No. 6, where the most
trouble has been, machine guns COM
mand the approach.
