At Rest.

John Milton Cumpton died at his
home in Deepwater township, Bates
county, Missouri, Oct. 5, 1911, after q
| protracted illness for over 8 months,
from mitral reorganization of the heart
suffering more or less all the time
yet he bore it without a murmer OF
complaint, Everything that could be
done to sooth and alleviate his suffer
ing was constantly being done, but
we mortals have to submit to the
power higher and greater than all the
earth, only once more teaching us our
utter helplessness. 1t also reminds
us that we, too, will soon be called
upon to face death 'and ere long your
body and mine and each one of our
bodies" will be placed in the cold,
cold ground. AS he, on one occasion
or 5 years prior to his death, ex-
pressed, "my life seems as but a
dream, so man fleeth, also as a
shadow and continued not"
| The subject of this sketch was born
in Howard county, Missouri, in 1883,
and moved with his parents to John
son county while yet a boy At the
age of 20 he protested religion and
united with the C. P. church and
lived a consistent member. After
moving to Bates county he failed to
unite with any church. He lived and
died, however, in that faith. He was
a man, firm in his convictions, I'M
yielding in his decision of mind and
answering is his duty, very charit-
able, kind hearted and true to his
friends; always sympathizing with
his fellow creatures.
He did, not to say, crave riches,
but believed in the live and let live
plan; ever ready and willing to lend a
helping hand to those about him who
were in trouble or distress. he did
not seek popularity but at all times
contended for what he thought was
right, and though he is now dead his
kind words and good deeds will live
in the minds and hearts of the people
for years to come.
No man ever lived on earth who
loved their home more or was any
more devoted to his family than he
and now as we fully realize that we
cannot bring him back. Let us so
live and strive to initiate or emulate
the life of this good man then when
we are called upon to render up our
lives to the Great Jehovah may they
have been spent in that way which
will commend US to the one far be-
vound the skies.
Farewell, Farewell.

spring.
Considering the small outlay OF
money in constructing a wood shed,
its many good points make it one of
the most desirable buildings on the
farm.
1t is self robbery to take a dairy
cow through the winter when she
gives milk only five or six months
out of the whole year.
Why is it that the farmers do not
shed the road tools and machinery
when the seasons work is over?
These cost money, and the sun and
rain have good chance to ruin them,
since they usually stand out in the
open weather the year around.
The writer still has some of our
last years supply of sunflower stalks
left, after utilizing them as kindling,
for pea and bean poles, and as feed
coops for the chicks. You can do as
we'll with yours this season.
Thing is proving to be the very
best way Of making good roads,. We
have many wet places where grades
have been built year after year only
