OLIVE SPRINGS.

The death angel entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John FORMER on
Friday, Oct. 10Th, and claimed their
little ten months old daughter, Lola
Jane. She passed away about 10
o'clock Friday evening, after a seri-
our illness of only a few days. But
few knew little Lola was so sick. 1t
was unexpected and caused sadness
and sorrow in many homes. She
was devoted to father and mother,
and grandparents. 1t is sad to give
up little Lola. A place is vacant in
that home that can never be filled.
Grand fathers and mothers will miss
her coming to see them. Willing
and ready hands did all they could
but an all-wise God knows best and
their precious darling has gone to
live with Him forever. Gone home
to mansions bright and fair with
Jesus there to dwell. The funeral
was conducted at Maloney Springs
on Saturday afternoon by Rev. B.
F. Kelley and she was laid to rest
in the cemetery where the little
grave was covered with many sweet
and bright flowers sent by loving
friends and relatives. We deeply
sympathize with the parents in their
grief and loneliness. The pall-bear-
ers were her uncles, Messrs Frank
lin, Edward and George Fortner and
Herbert Barfield.
One of our most industrious young
ladies claims she is very much fat
igued after such a race after the
turkey and empty shoe boxes in Ma

lady and she will be ready to enter

NEW BUSINESS ORGANIZED
]. B. Schoenhoff & Co., Will Handle
All Kinds of Farmers Produce
at Cash Prices.

believing that there is an opening
in Sank Centre for a business of this
sort J. B. Schoenhoff & Co., have or
ganized for the purpose of handling
all kinds of farm produce, including
potatoes, onions, ruttabegas, cabbages
and the like, for which they will pay
the farmers the prevailing market
prices in cash at such times and in
such quantities as the farmers care to
sell. < III
Mr.. Schoenhoff is of the opinion
that the potato industry of this sec
ton will be developed considerably if
proper means are arranged to handle
the product. If the farmers will guar
antee a sufficient number of acres a
warehouse will be erected this season.
Otherwise a building will be rented
and the warehouse erected next year.
j. B. Schoenhoff will be the active
manager of the business, and to the
Herald he stated that the company
expected to handle produce in ter
ritory extending east to, Melrose,
south to Elrosa, north to Ward
Springs and west to West Union.
They are ready now to buy all the
produce the farmers have at cash
prices.
In discussing the potato situation
Mr.. Schoenhoff stated to the Herald
that it would pay farmers best to
grow both early and late potatoes.
The Herald is of the opinion that
this produce company can be devel-
oped into a very profitable business
for the promoters and farmers, and it
will have a tendency to widen the
trade territory of Sank Centre.
Mr.. Schoenhoff is one of the we'll
known business men of Sank Centre
and has long been one of the live
wires both in the Commercial Club
and Fair Association.

YOUNG MAN BOUND OVER
William Garner of Avon is Held OF
Charge of Grand Larceny in the
Second Degree.

Waving preliminary hearing
William Garner of Avon was yester-
day bound over to the grand jury on a
charge Of larceny In the second de.
gree, says Wednesday evenings St
Cloud Times. His bail was fixed at
$500 by Justice William H. Alden, and
he was remanded to the custody OF
the sheriff in default of bail.
According to the evidence, which
the accused man practically admits
Garner took 500 in cash from the
till of the John Rass saloon at Avon
yesterday morning. The proprietor
Of the place stepped out of the saloon
for few minutes and during his alb
sence young Garner, who was in the
place at the time, removed the money
from the till. The young man then
carried the coin outside and planted
it at a convenient spot and returned
before the proprietor had re-entered
In view of the circumstances of the
loss, Garner was accused of the theft
and virtually admitted the above facts
Only ninety dollars, however, were
found. The youth asserts that, he has
no knowledge whatsoever of the re-
naming ten dollars, but in all other
respects the case seems fairly clear.
