EVERYTHING IN JULY
Iowa Weather Prophet Has 1t Down
as Month of Horrors.

July will be a horrible month &C
cording to John c. Busby, the lnde,
pendence weather shark, who has Is
sued this forecast for the month:
July will be a moderate month, with
many changes of temperature and
many local storms, but do not think
that the dreaded cyclone or twister
is over, for it is not.
In my June forecast said we
would get a hot June, but | missed 1t
twenty days. The last week in June
only was hot. Except for the cool
wind from off the lakes it would have
been hot throughout the month. North
east winds prevailed most of the
month, and they were cool. In Kan
sas and the southwest ! hit it on
the cyclones, and in Ohio also.
The most striking object in the
eastern heavens in the evening is the
great planet Jupiter, which shines out
in the southern heavens in the early
evening hours. This great planet Is

THE OLDEST RESIDENT.
Taintor Claims Honor in the Person
of Mrs. Ella Smith.

New Sharon Star: Ella Smith
daughter of John w. Cunningham
came with her parents from Illinois
to Mahaska county in the spring OF
l1S43, she being at that time six years
old. They settled on a claim two
miles east of the square in Oskaloosa
She and her sister and brother at
tended the first school ever taught in
the county, a subscription school
taught by Mrs. Semira Phillips. She
grew to womanhood around Oska"
loosa and in 1854 married J. F.
Smith, from Virginia, then a young
man Just starting to enter the medi
cal profession, who afterwards took
| his place among Iowa's successful
physicians, serving term in the
army as surgeon. Like herself,
she saw Oskaloosa grow from infancy
to womanhood, where she takes her
place in the business circles and edu.
cational department of Iowa second
to no county seat in the state and
only outdone by the capitol of Iowa
She and her husband settled soon af-
as Old Granville, then one of Proud
Mahaska's fourishing inland villages.
She has seen the county grow from
la wilderness inhabited by wild In
dams, as well as deer, bear, wolves,
snakes and so on, to a thickly settled
land
The school house in which she first
went to school was a log structure,
covered with clap boards held in po-
|sition with weight poles and piece
|of carpet for door, and some of the
|children of that school brought bear
meat for dinners along with their
johnnycake, which would be a rarity
nowadays, we think.
She was the longest continual living
resident of the county, having lived
in it from 1S43 to the present time
All her family was born in the coun
ty, three boys, one dying in infancy
the other two living to comfort her
in her declining years, as she is now
feebly nearing the setting sun of life;
G. F. Smith, prosperous merchant
of Taintor and John C. Smith, a ply.
stefan of Sully, her husband having
preceded her to the better world in
1905.
She still lives in the home in Tain
tor, where they settled some seventy.
five years ago. waiting the call to
her eternal home -
If there Is another resident of the
county that can come up to or feat
her for continual resident for nearly
seventy years, not having lived out
side of the county. we would like to
hear from them.
