The following account OF the mar
riage of Miss Schooler aud Murica
Brown appeared in recent issue OF
a Cedar Falls paper:
An exceptionally pretty home we'd
ding was solemnized last night (Wed-
nesday, Sept 27) at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. T. j. Schooler when their
daughter Miss Harriet was united in
marriage to Mr.. Murice w. Brown OF
Garden Grove, Iowa. DR.. j. w. Hol-
land read the marriage vows in the
presence of a group of interested
relatives and friends, using the i'm
pressive ring service. Master Wayne
Roberts, nephew of the bride, was
the flower bearer. The brides gown
was of white net over white satin
with lace and crystal trimmings. She
carried a bouquet Of brides roses.
The color scheme throughout the
house was of pink and white and was
carried out in the delicious two
course luncheon that was served un-
der the direction of Miss Brookings of
the domestic science department OF
the State Teachers College, assisted
Dora Baldwin.
The out of town guests who wit
messed this pretty wedding were the
grooms parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. X.
Brown and daughter Miss Ruth, all
of Garden Grove, Mr.. and Mrs. G. W..
Robinson of Davis City, Iowa, a Sis

Mich, Mr.. and Mrs. B. o. Roberts
and little son Wayne, a sister of the
bride. came from Little Rock, Iowa,
and Miss Joy Smock of Waverley.
The groom has farm near GAR
den Grove with modern house COM
pletely furnished which they will oc-
cupy when they return. The bride
is an alumni of the l. S. T. G. and for
two years was principal of the high
at Humeston. Her parents
moved here from Rock Rapids to edu-
cate their children and have resided
here for several years.
We might add that the bride has
also taught in the Garden Grove
schools and was a very efficient in
structor, young lady of unusual
charm and attractiveness, and made
a host of friends here. The groom is
the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. r.
Brown and is a fine capable young
man OF sterling qualities.
The Express offers best wishes for
happiness and prosperity. The groom
has bought his fathers fine farm
north of town where they have gone
to housekeeping. The parents are
improving the farm known as the
Hart place west at the four corners,
which Mr.. Brown bought some time
ago and they will make their home
there. 1t was thirty-two years ago
that Mr.. and Mrs. Brown went to
housekeeping on the farm they sold
to their son.-Garden Grove Express.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Spurrier.

One of the most loved and respect
ed citizens of this city passed away
last Tuesday, when Mrs. Sarah Jane
Spurrier departed this life at her
home on west Eighth street, at the
age of 70 years, months and days.
She has suffered intensely for years
and her late illness during which she
was bedfast most of the time has con-
tinued for about two years. She was
with her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth
Mumma, of lola, Kansas, for some
time but returned to her own home
in this city about five months ago,
and her son, F. o. Spurrier and fam
lily have been caring for her since
that time. All that loving hands and
kind hearts could do for the comfort
and happiness of their mother was
done by each of her children. She
has made her home much of the time
with her daughter, Mrs. Gertrude
Briggs of this city.
For the past year she has constant
ly been under the care OF a patient
and efficient nurse, Mrs. S. j. Malosh,
of lola, Kansas, who came here with
her patient five months ago.
Mrs. Spurrier was born in Salem,
Henry county, Iowa, on July Is,
1S43. There she grew to woman
hood and was married on December
16, 1858, to w. II. Spurrier. To them
were born six children: N. B.. OF
North Platte, Neb.; Frank O. of
SCOTS Bluff, Neb.; Sanford Hugh,
who died at the age of two years;
Mumma, of lola, Kansas;
Richard, who passed away about l
years ago; and Gertrude Briggs of
this city. All were present at the
funeral except N. B. Spurrier. He
met with serious accident recently
in which he received compound
fracture of the bones of his limbs
and other injuries Of back and head,
so that now he is confined in the hos
pital at Colorado Springs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spurrier came to De-
catur county over forty years ago
and settled on what is known as the
Irwin Battle farm. Ten years later
they removed onto what is still
known as the Spurrier section where
they resided until nine years ago
when they came to town and retired
in the home where both of them pass
ed away.
Mrs. Spurrier was a wonderfully
good mother, her life being one of
and sacrifice for her
children and she will always be re-
with most tender rever-
ence by her family and all who knew
her. She was member of the Bap-
list church, being baptized about ten
years ago.
The funeral was held at the home
on Friday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock,
Rev. r. M. .Shipman, pastor of the
NJ. E. church at Mt. Ayr preached the
sermon. The pail bearers were
Frank Spurr4er, nephew of Mt. Ayr,
Herbert Teale, Howard Spurrier, Jay
Barr, Wallace Blair, and Fred New
,Omb.
Besides her children, she leaves to
mourn seven grandchildren, seven
and countless
lumber of friends.-Lamoni Chron-

From Cows with Few Ticks,

Do you know that cattle ticks on the
cows get a part of the milk you ought
to have? Well, they do.
However, they do not drink the milk
as you do after you have drawn it
from the COW, but they suck the blood
out of her veins and take the mate
rails which the COW otherwise would
convert into milk.
SO you see the ticks get their share
first and you take what is left. That
is the reason why the dairy business
has not been very profitable for the
Florida farmers during the past years,
although wholesale and retail prices
for milk are higher here than in states
where the cattle have to be fed ex-
pensive grain and hay during six to
eight. months of every year.
Our large army of cattle ticks ex-
plains why so much condensed milk
produced in northern states is used
in homes of farmers who should keep
one or more cows to furnish nice fresh
milk and rich cream for the familys
consumption, with surplus supply to
sell each week, in place of buying milk
In tin cans. But the ticks reduce the
