MRS. LENA THRELKELD
JOINS SILENT HOSTS.

Mrs. Lena Rivers, beloved wife
of Louis Threlkeld, died at her
home in Okolona, Miss, at 4 :25
o clock Saturday morning, after
an illness of six months. AL
though the inevitable end was
half expected, her death came as
a great shock to both relatives
and friends.
Deceased was born In Fulton
county on Sept. 10, 1874, being a
daughter of the late Arthur
King, and grew to womanhood IN
our midst. She was united in
marriage with Louis Threlkeld
October %, 1898. To this union
We're born three children Miss
Laverne, Arthur Louise and Rus
sell Lee Threlkeld. The husband
and three children survive their
wife and mother. The sisters,
Mrs. S. NJ. Naifeh, of Hickman !;
Mrs. A. X. Robinson, of Dyers-
burg, Tenn. and Mrs. Jas. jack
son, of Clinton, Ky; and one
brother, +. l.. King, of Union
City, survive her. She was a
devout, faithful member of the
Baptist church, with which she
united when II years of age, and
a short time ago transferred her
membership to Oiloiona, to which
place the family moved some
three years ago.
The remains were brought back
to Hickman for burial. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
| III. Nj. Crane, at two clock Sun
day afternoon, at the First Bap-
fist church, and a large congre-
cation of friends of the family
were IN attendance to pay them
last respects to this good lady
whom they held so dear. Follow
ing Rev. Grain s beautiful eulogy
so well merited by this noble
Christian character, the body wa'
consigned to its last resting
place in the Hickman city GENE
terry. Tn. magnificent floral of
fering was a silent testimonial o
the popular esteem in which Mrs
Threlkeld was held in this commu
nifty, and it is with a tear of deel
regret that we reconcile our
selves TO the will of Him, VIII
doeth all things well.

OPPORTUNITIES
 THAT ARE MISSED
Why Wait? Why Not Go to Vest
 ern Canada NoGIi

The writer has frequently heard the remark that after the war We will % to Western Canada" It does not oc- cur to those making the remark that if they wish to secure lands in Western Canada, whether by homestead or pur- chase. the best time to go is now. After the war the welcome will be just as hearty as ever. but the chances are that land values will increase and to- day homesteads are plentiful and land Is reasonable in price. There is no question about what the land in Mani- toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta will do, what it will give under proper cul- tivatiOn.
 Farmers in Western Canada are pay ing for their land holdings with the proceeds of last years crop. That this is no idle statement may be gleaned from the three following items, which are picked out at random:
 Tn the spring of 1916 half-section of land was offered for sale at Sl7.O0 per acre. There were 105 acres of summer-fallow. which because the owner could not at the time find a buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield of 10 bushels per acre, 4.2O0 bushels all told. grading No. l. was obtained. The price the day the grain was sold (which was very early in the season. before grain prices advanced to round about s2O0) was Sl6O. which brought the handsome total of S6,T20.OO. Three hundred and twenty acres at Sl1.O0 equals SI,44OO0. so that a buyer. by placing less than half of the whole under crop. would have made a profit of s1.2S0O0." Robson Messenger, Robson. Sask.
 That the Indiana Boys farm this year raised sufficient crop to pay for the land. all the machinery and all overhead expenses as well as make a handsome profit, Is the information given by \. B. Davis, the manager. The wheat yield was over 22,000 bush els. Of twelve cars already sold. nine graded No. 1, and MT. Davis has sold over 2,OOO bushels locally for seed at s2OO. Naturally. when he gets to h. diana he will be a big booster for Al berta. ."-Bassano Mail. Bassano, Alta.
 "Oscar Castalor. who bought land at Blusson after the crop had been put in last spring. for S3.SOO.00, has threshed 3,9OO bushels of wheat, which is worth al present prices about s7.5O0.oo. He refused an offer of S5,O00.O0 for the land after the crop had been taker off."-Lethbridge Her aid. Lethbridge. Alta.
 Reports from the wheat fields are highly encouraging and show that the wheat crop of many farmers in West ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
 Coblenz, Sask-W. \. Rose has threshed an average of 8 bushels per acre and S3 bushels of oats.
 Gleichen. Alberta.-Up to date 237,- SIP bushels of grain have been received by local elevators, of which nearly 1sOOO0 bushels were wheat Seventy one cars of grain have already bAen shipped.
 Stoop Creek. Sask.-James McRae has threshed 5,4OO bushels of grain, 2.OOO bushels of which were wheat. grading No. l Northern. One field averaged A bushels per acre, and a large field of oats averaged S3 bushels
 If information as to the best loca- ton is required, it will be gladly fur nished by any Canadian Government Agent. whose advertisement appears elsewhere.-Adyertisement.

Core eight to ten apples and set them in a baking dish; fill the centers with cinnamon and sugar, pour over the tapioca and bake until the apples are tender. Serve hot with cream and sugar.

HEADAcHY,
 SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while
 you sleep.
Get A 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed. fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the fn- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour. undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.
