We have robbed seven hives and got over S5C pounds of honey. Have several more to rob. Our hives are home made after the Langstroth pattern, Some of our people are sure enough getting interested in the road question. Thad Reid, G. R, Hale and several others went over into Center township last week and worked with their teams free of charge.
 l understand from friend Luke's tone that he does not agree with my idea of giving more time to the roads than the law compels us to give. He seems to think that it is all right in districts that have plenty of money, but in poor districts it would not work. People in the poor districts will have to give more free labor if they ever have good roads,

Obituary.

There is reaper whose name Is
 Death
 And with his sickle keen
 He reaps the bearded grain at n breath
 And the flowers that grow between.
 This dread reaper who comes soon- CT or later to all humanity, visited the home of Henry Harrison, one of Polk county's we'll known and re- spected citizens. and cut down their youngest son, George, at the age of IA years and 4 months. The sorrow ing family had been expecting the summons for some time as George had been afflicted for months and succumbed July 12, 1910. The dear boy was well liked among all classes and ages. He suffered so long and bore all with extreme patience and fortitude. Bade his parents mot to grieve for him as he would be at rest and free from pain" Just be- fore death said "Hark, 1 hear some one singing" Besides his parents, he leaves four brothers and one sister and hosts of friends and rela- tives to mourn his loss. Not with out hope are the bereft parents, but looking forward to reunion with their loved one, who is sadly missed from the home circle. May God as- suage their grief. A Friend.
