LOCATION OF THE HOME.
Neighborhood and Former Tenants
Should Be Carefully Investigated.

Considerable has been printed from
time to time as to the investment by
wage-earners of their savings in the
dwellings, in which they live and the
safety and general security of real
estate as an investment, provided the
investor has exercised good judgment
in the selection of his location. Now
few words as to location, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
He should also learn all the possibly
can about previous tenants, their char
acteristics and habits, especially if
buying dwelling. 1t is Imperative in
this connection that purchasers of old
houses should learn whether or not
there have been cases of contagious
disease in them. If any deaths have oc-
Cured on the premises, and what they
were caused by. This applies not only
of dwelling property which has once
been occupied.
1t is best to make assurance doubly
sure and have an old or previously oc-
ed, regardless of the history of old
tenant the new occupant is able to
learn before moving In.
If it is a dwelling, 1t may have been
occupied by persons with incipient tu-
berculosis, who moved away before the
disease became so far advanced as to
have been brought to Doctors at
tention, but at the same time at such
stage that germs may have been left
behind.
Factory Distinction Wise.
Physicians and hygienists also de-
clare that it Is well to disinfect manu.
featuring plants, when purchased or
occupied by new tenants. for the same
reason-some former employe or en-
ployes suffering from incipient tuber
culosis may have left germs behind
them.
The character Of property particu-
less degree by the character of the pre-
vious occupants. and IL house has a
bad name 1t Is regarded by most people
as an undesirabl BILE purchase for dwell
ing purposes.

THE DEATH RECORD
WM. j. Dyer.

Vim. J. Dyer was born August 10th,
1876 at EIlenbOrO, Wisconsin and died
at his home in Lancaster, Wisconsin,
December 3, 1915. On December %,
1868 he was united in marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Borah. Four children
graced this union, two dying in in
fancy. Mr.. Dyer spent all of his life
in Grant County, where he was born
and reared to manhood. 1t is very
doubtful if any man in Southwestern
Wisconsin was more widely known
than he. Being a great admirer of fine
horses he always had some of the best
racers in his barns, but he always be-
lieved in being fair to those who COM
peted with him and did not even seek
revenge when he was imposed upon in
the race. He had the confidence of the
people in Grant county, which was
manifested by the offices of trust which
he held for the people, serving the
county as sheriff and as superintend-
ent of the county home. While serv
ing in this position he was struck on
the head by one of the inmates and
shortly after became an invalid and
III nCd4 ~ LC1 gCclA was IOh0OA - NoA
ed for by his beloved companion. Eter-
nifty alone will reveal the tender care,
sympathy and sacrifice which Mrs.
Dyer gave in behalf of her husband
during all these years. None could
have been more indulgent and patient
during all these years of suffering.
Always being a man active and &C
custOmed to associate with people or
wide acquaintance, he was sudden
" deprived of these blessings, but
never word of complaint escaped his
lips during all this time.
While Mr.. Dyer made no outward
profession of Christian life, yet his in
tegrity was unquestioned and his faith
in an over-ruling Providence was re-
vealed to those who were nearest to
him. In the death of Mr.. Dyer Grant
county loses one of her best citizens.
In February, 1865, he enlisted in the
Civil War and served under G. Baxter.
Those who sorrow his departure are
his wife and two children, VIM. b.
Dyer, also ex-sheriff of Grant county,
and Mrs. Ruby Peterson of Mellen;
Wisconsin, and four sisters, Mrs. Fred
Greebe and Mrs. Thomas Beetham OF
Lancaster, Wisconsin; Mrs. j. B. Brad
bury of Fennimore, and Mrs. Harry
Beetham of Liberty Ridge. Mr.. Dy-
er's death makes the third in the fam
lily during the past six months. Mrs.
Alvin Smith of Omaha, and George A.
Dyer of Lancaster, being the other two
members who recently passed away.
Another sister, Mrs. P. Cameron of
Tekamah, Nebraska, died a number Of
years ago.
His funeral was held Wednesday af-
ternOOn, December s, at 2 o'clock at
his late home, the service being con-
Quoted by Rev. E. w. Schoenfeld of
EdgertOn, Wisconsin, who has known
Mr.. Dyer for the past twenty years.

vice at the grave. Interment at Hill

Grand In It's Ruins.


On Cation hill. Edinburgh, stands the
most remarkable unfinished building In
Britain. 1t is far more beautiful and
striking in its unfinished state than it
ever could be if completed. 1t gives
Edinburgh the appearance of ancient
Athens. 1t was to be a memorial of
the Royal Scots and was first talked Of
the year after Waterloo. However, the
original plans were SO modified that
enthusiasm petered out, and the ma
tional monument remains today a mag
nificent fragment.-London Express.
