Winters Coming.

1t is a pleasant thing to known
that winter comes aflying, and we
shall have-the luscious snow for
which we have been signing. Some
people shudder when they speak of
this delightful season; they hate, to
hear the billiards Shrek, and mark
the brooklets freeZin. But l am glad
to see the sleet, keep my harp
strings drumming, and clap my
hands and wave my feet, for winter
time is coming. 'Tis then we sit
around the fire, the whole blamed
bunch together, and tell old tales and
punch the Tyre, and laugh at stormy
weather. We're closer drawn in kin
ship then, than warm days ever find
us, the children and the whiskered
men, and granny perched behind u.s.
Home life is .truer when the storm
bowls round the roof and basement,
when our old sitting room is warm,
though frost is on the easement. So
light the lamp and bar the door, and
keep the fireplace humming; all 9TH
er seasons are a bore, and wintertime
is oming.-Walt Mason.

A Surprise.

Friday evening, Nov. 3rd, host OF
friends and neighbors gathered at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Jones, of near Grand River. The ev-
ening was very enjoyably spent in
games and music. Oysters, peaches
and cake, were served as refresh
ments. The neighbors are very sorry
to see a family like Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones leave, but what is our loss will
be Conway's gain. All join in wish
ing them long, happy and prosper
Gus life in their new home near Con-
way. Those present were Mr.: and
Mrs. Fred Bryant and family, Mr..
and Mrs. s. c. Stanley and son, Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Hewlett and family,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bryant and son,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Bryant and family,

ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Bryant, Mr..

Mrs. S, G. Jennings ST..

Mary jennings was born at Knox
Vile. ILL.,, Dec, IS, 1S41, and died Al
Indianola, Iowa, Nov. 2, 1915, agec
IS years.
In 1856 she was united in mar
rage to Henry Sipherd at Knoxville
ILL.,, and in the spring Of 1878. they
moved to Grand River, Iowa, where
they resided until the death of Mr.
Sipherd, Jan. 10, 1894. Seven chill
dren were born to this union, six OF
whom survive father and mother.
In 1907 Mrs. Siphcrd was married
to S. c. Jennings Sr., who died IN
1906.
Mrs. Jennings was an earnest
christian, having united with the
Presbyterian church OF knoxville,
ILL.,, al Is years Of age.
She continued in that fellowship
until about 10 years ago. when she
united with the Grand River Metho-
dist church.
Always an ardent supporter and
active worker in every work on
righteousness, she remained until
her death a singularly, conscientious
and devoted christian, and the church
and social life-in the death of Sister
Sipheru-loses a woman who lived
up to all the light of her day, and
rendered to her God an accounting OF
her stewardship to the very last. She
lived day by day on the work at
hand, loving and devoted mother
and kindly neighbour; and bore to
her grave that highest Of earthly
comforts that an all wise God has
ever vouchsafod to the workers of
His wili-thc calm repose of ? spirit
which holes itself in peace to all
others and SO goes it's way TO that
peace which passcth understanding.
We will miss her CHEEKY face,
hearty handshake and fervent pray
ers, as we'll as the encouragement
that her earnest and undivided at
tention to the message, carrying
Gods word to her; that she always
gave a speaker in the new IS veil as
the old Grand River church.
But we have this consciousness as
we say good nightsto Sister Jennings,
and commend the same thought to
the family bereft for while of moth
err and grandma, that she smiles down
on us from the battlements of heav-
en- and that she has created by ner
going away, another tie that binds
us to that ''hOuse not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens SO
we say good night to mother, but not
good bye

There is a difference between be-
ing stout and being fat. Fat produces
no strength. We only wish we could
tell you half the good things that
Tanlac has done in restoring
strength.
Many persons who are fat feel mis-
cradle while people who are solid
usually enjoy the best of health.
Fat surrounds the muscular tissues
while the real strength is in the It's
