Coal Run, some people have gotten
the idea that the city crematory has

privilege for everybody with paper
and trash to dispose Of to assume
such license thus to dump garbage at
this place and to make pretense OF
burning the same, to taegreat annoy.

DR.. Taylor were recent callers at
the parsonage.
ALI the services Sunday were we'll

pairs made on the buildings this

Professor Peggeski Murphey-
rinio, the celebrated aeronaut, will

Special trains to Brookfeld fair
will carry much heavier equipment
than ever before. Lots of coaches

tables for hours of arrival and de-
parture.
The horses entered at the Brook
field fair will pace and trot rings

in the United States are entered.
This office has turned out IL, 900
impressions of job work this week
for the Henderson, Morris Produce
company, the biggest establish
ment of the kind in this part of the
state.
If you have not yet received a
Brookfeld fair catalogue, drop a
line to Secretary Rummell and re-
ceive one the next mail. You
should have one, for the premiums
are heavy.
W. Ell. Trowbridge has accepted
a position with the Henderson
Morris Produce company and
moved in from route two with his
family Friday to the David resi-
dence in the southwest part of town.
Brookfeld promises us the
largest fair ever held within three
states of us. We believe they will
have it, for the entries are larger
and the farm display will be great.
They have added to the produce
premiums, and the horse and mule
premiums have been almost
doubled.

DEATH OF JAMES A. WOOLLEN
A Splendid Man and Good Citizen Called to His
Reward at a Ripe Old Age

James Anthony Woollen was
born in Dorchester county, Mary
land November 13, 1921, and died
at the home of his youngest daugh-
ter, Mrs. z. r. King, near Laclede
August 6, 1910, aged SO years, 8
months and % days.
In the fall of 1923 he moved with
his parents to Wayne county,
Indiana, where he resided until
Oct. 6, 1912, when with two dol
lars in his pocket and wearing a
suit Of homespun from his mothers S
loom, he started overland with a
friend to the then territory of
Iowa to make his future home
there.
September 7, 1845, he married
Susannah Borgholthaus. Ten chill
dren were born to this union, of
whom six are still living; W. F.
Woollen, New London, Mo-; Mrs.
II. S. George, New Gorham, Colo. !;
Isaac Woollen, Meadville; Mrs.
James Dickhut, Fowler, Ills. Mrs.
w. o. Warner, Meadville, and
Mrs. q. R. King, Laclede.
In 1892 he visited his brother
Henry near Laclede and was so
we'll pleased with the country that
he purchased a quarter section OF
land two and one-half miles south
of Laclede and moved here with his
family the next year. 1t was here
that she who shared the privations
and hardships of their early, life
and who had so nobly taken her
place by his side for more than
ifty-five years was called to her
reward. Her faith never wavered.
To her it was home going and al
the noon hour, March %, 1900,
she entered into rest. Her funeral
was held in the old Methodist
church in Laclede, conducted by
the Rev. Calvin Allen.
In a brief history of his life,
written by himself, Brother Wool
len says: Il was born of poor but
! pious parents. They were
members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church." The impressions
made upon him in that christian
home by his pious parents seem
to have followed him through life.
So far as the writer knows, there
is no record of his conversion and
uniting with the church. 1t seems
that he was always in the church
and never knew any other than a
christian life. He speaks of him.
self as having served the church as
trustee, class leader, steward, Sun
day school superintendent, district
steward and lay delegate to the
annual conference.
His early life was indeed that OF
the pioneer. When his father came
to. Indiana he had just one dollar
with which to begin life. He
helped to clear away the forest and
make home for the family. When
the time came that he was to make
a home for himself, his assets were
two dollars, stout heart and a
clean life-a splendid capital for a
young man.
Beloved and honored by all who
knew him, tenderly cared for in
the home of his youngest daughter,
he calmly awaited the summons to
go out and meet her who a little
more than ten years ago had pre-
ceded him. Funeral services were
held in the Methodist church, con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. L. c..
Powell, and his body was laid to
rest by her side. For some time
he had been failing and the body
was becoming frail. He seemed to
