On last Sunday, August 13, large
number of relatives and friends OF
Werner Wells and Miss Lelah Fogle-
man gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. L. Wills Of near Van Vert to
witness their marriage, which took
place at high noon. The ceremony
was performed by the writer, and
Immediately after the ceremony and
concentrations the happy couple,
Nth their friends were invited into
the dining room where sumptuous
dinner tit for king which was pre-
pared by the mother and sister of the
bride and girl friend, Miss Ethel
Black of Des Moines, was served.
The bride is the beautiful and ac-
complished daughter of Mrs. T. E.
Wills and was dressed in gown of
blue crepe dechene, trimmed in gold
colored satin and buttons. The groom
wore a conventional suit of blue
serge. The bride was converted and
baptized in the Pleasant Valley Bap-
fist church Of which the writer has
been pastor for the past four year,
and she has since that time been
living devoted christian life, worthy
of the cause which she represents and
one who demands the respect and
love of all who know her.
Mr.. Wells is we'll known young
farmer of Decatur countk and a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Wells of
LaVerne, Oklahoma, but he has made
his home with an aunt, Mrs. Drue
Kelley of near Decatur City the past
four years, and has made many
friends in Decatur county.
The happy couple think of making
their home in Colorado, but have not
fully decided yet and may the bless
ings of our kind Father ever be over
them in all the walks of life, and
may their hopes for the better world
grow brighter until the perfect day,
is the sincere wish and prayer of
their friend and brother in Christ,
A. L. Harper.

George p. Bishop.

On Friday morning the final sum-
mons came to George P. Bishop, one
of Humeston's pioneer citizens. He
had been in poor health for three
years.
The funeral services were held at
the Congregational church at two
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, conducted
kby Rev. Ray Eckerson. Music was
furnished by the choir. The pail
bearers were A. d. McCulloch, l. G.
Morford, w. j. S. Taylor, j. B. Ford,
Paul Young and S. w. Lewis. Inter-
ment was made at Humeston ceme-
terry.
The following obituary of this
highly esteemed citizen was read by
the minister at the funeral:
Another of the pioneer citizens of
this section of the state has been
called from this life. Fifty-nine years
is a period that covers most of the
history of Humeston and the sur
rounding country. There are COM
paratively few people who have resid-
ed here SO long. The messenger of
death came early Friday morning,
August 4. The strength had been
gradually ebbing day by day, and fin
ally without waking.
George P. Bishop was born April
II, 1884, in Otsego county, New York.
When he was two years of age the
family moved to Oneida county, New
York; and when he was seventeen
they went to Michigan. August T.,
1857, he came to Wayne county,
Iowa, and settled in Richman town
ship.
December 2, 1859, Mr.. Bishop
married Miss Sarah A. Smith; and
the family home, about half way be-
tween Humeston and Garden Grove,
was we'll known for many years. 1t
is the farm home now owned by
Peter Vance. He was one of the
contractors who helped to construct
the St. Joe division of the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy railroad, and
thus helped in a material way the
early development of the county. Fiji
teen years ago the family came to
Humeston to reside.
Besides Mrs. Bishop, the compan-
ion of these many years, the children
who are living are as follows: Albert
l.. Bishop, Marshall, Wyoming; Mrs.
Aseneth Johnson, Leon; Mrs. Ger
u uuc 6Auolll1, ANON YIN Suul1CS ~.
Bishop, Stockton. California; George
D. Bishop, St. Francis, Wisconsin.
There were also two children who
died in infancy.
There are seven grandchildren and
six greatgrandchildr
When Mr.. Bishop was twenty-six
years of age he united with the Pres
byterian church at Garden Grove;
and he was one of the charter mem
bers of the Humeston Congregational
church
Mr.. Bishops illness has kept him
at home nearly all the time during
the past three years; but while he has
been no longer seen upon our streets
he has not been forgotten by large
number of friends who have known
him all these many years. He was
man of integrity His influence for
good will abide.
To Mrs. Bishop and all kindred
there is extended at this time the
tender sympathy and love of our en-

Success of Tanlac is a Boon to
Hundreds of Thousands
of InvalidS.

Men and women who suffer with
improper digestion are nervous and
very irritable because of their misery.
They lack energy and ambition to do
their-work, are easily discouraged
and become melancholy over slight
things.
They suffer with unsound sleep,
poor memory, backache, headache, ir-
regular circulation of the blood, diz-
ziness, and the common ailments of
the stomach, liver and kidneys, many
of which arise from a weakened con-
dition of the mucus membranes call
ed catarrh.
If the catarrhal condition is long
unchecked the vital organs are sf-
fected.
These people will find Tanlac the
tonic, tissue builder and appetizer de-
signed to overcome these ills.
The success of Tanlac has been so
great wherever it has been intro
duced that it is called the National
Tonic.
The production of the Tanlac La
boratories is now over five million
bottles per year. Over quarter OF a
million people have voluntarily given
signed statements telling how Tanlac
has relieved them of nervousness,
how it has restored their appetites,
increased their weight, rid them of
dyspepsia, bad hood, constipation and
many other ailments which arise
from broken down condition Of the
body tissues!
Tanlac is being specially introduc-
ed In Leon by Bell & Painter.

daughter of Henry and Henrietta

When child fourteen years of age
Miss Oney became member of the
Christian church and to the day of
her death was a devout member, hav-
ing the interest of the kingdom at
heart. On account of sickness she
was not so we'll known to the younger
members of the church but the older
ones bear testimony Of her devotion
and faithfulness. Another one of
Gods children has left the world of
suffering and transitory wealth to be
with her God and to be the possessor
of eternal wealth.
Funeral services were conducted
