friends of years gone by. She united
with the Presbyterian church while
yet girl. Grandma Picken was truly
one of natures high minded, noble
women. A short time before she
passed away, in speaking of her long
life in her gentle way, she said that
she had always tried to do her best
to live right and now she was willing
to trust everything with the Lord.
For over twenty years she could not
walk without the aid of crutches and
for the past four years she was not
permitted to see the beautiful light
of day or look In the faces of her
loved ones. Her eyesight having fail
ed entirely. Yet, with all her affilic-
lions no one ever heard her utter an
impatient word. 1t was all for the
best, she said. To her many friends,
who knew her best, her life was a
constant benediction and the beauti.
full example that she lived each day
of her blameless life will ever be
treasured In memory that time will
not efface.
The funeral services were held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts at
2 p. m. Thursday, February Sd, 1910,
and were conducted by the Rev. DR..
Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. Beautiful and appropriate
music was rendered by Mrs. J. A.

by Miss Eda Rankin. after which the
body was laid to rest in the family
lot in Glenwood. The many beautiful
flowers bore mute testimony to the
love and esteem by the kind neigh
bors and friends.

Market Notes.

A slow demand was about the con-
dition of the cattle market. The re-
ceipts were heavy. Many of the cat.
tie received were intended for YES
terday. but delayed trains dumped
them on today's market. Buyers
were Indifferent and consequently
the market was dull and slow with
the tendency of the trade downward
The quality was common.
Cows and heifers were steady to a
fraction lower and the market was
slow.
Good feeders sold well for the de,
mand was strong from the country
and the supply was not large. Most
buyers want good to choice cattle
and consequently they are relatively
high.
There was not the pyrotechnica
excitement In the hog trade that char
acterized 1t Monday, but still buyer,
wanted hogs and bought them freely

Receipts were heavy and packers
tried to break the market, but values
averaged good, the top landing at
1926.
Sheep sold stronger and lambs
about steady. Buyers are fayoring
the heavy sheep at present time,
evidently finding a good outlet for
the mutton. Light shorn lambs were
hard to sell.
Wheat had an erratic course yes.
terday. and after advancing general
ly from kc to &c, it fell away to
practically the closing figures OF
yesterday. Corn held its strength
better and finished with a modest
advance, as did oats, while provisions
finished from 1871 to zoe or.
