Friday morning upon arising, and while sitting on the edge of the bed, he sank over foreward, and almost without warn ing passed away.
 The final funeral arrangements are being held in abeyance, and will not be concluded until the arrival of the daughter. Mrs. c. w. Jackson, from Atwood Kas, but it is certain that the services will not be held until Sunday afternoon, and possibly not until Monday.

  lodge circles, at the time of his death being one of the stewards of the NJ. k. church, South, having been chairman of the official board, and much of the time a teacher in the Sunday school.

WHEAT PROMISES WELL.
Growers Soon Will Have Biscuit
 FlOur-Land Long in Use.

Favorable reports are coming in from the eastern part of the county concerning the condition of the wheat crop. H. B. Weaver, who was in from Board Camp Wednesday, stated his wheat is now waist high, that it was in the bloom just before the rain, and that the prospects are for a good yield. As result, he says, it will not be long until he and his family will be on full rations of biscuits and other flour products.
 Another good report came from J. R. Lambert, who, with Mrs. Lam bert, was in from Egger Wednesday. Mir. Lambert brought one stool of wheat which consisted 45 stalks, more than feet tall, from one grain, and each bore a fine head, the heads ranging from 3l9 to inches in length. There is acres in the patch and 25 bushels per acre is the estimated yield
 The field in which this wheat is grown was cleared before the Civil war by Bob Wear, an uncle of Coun- ty Judge A. E. Wear, and Mir. Lam bert last year raised on it crop of wheat, then sowed cowpeas broad cast and disced them in, cut and baled the crop and then sowed wheat, and double disced this in. This years yield promises better than last, and the system of crop ping will be continued.
 Mir. Lambert also shows what he calls tall meadow oat grass, that stands five feet high, and says he sows the meadow to this every five years and finds it great hay crop.
 Mr. and Mrs. Lambert remember well when all flour used in Polk county was produced at home, the cutting and threshing of the wheat being done in the crudest and most laborious fashion. Mrs. Lambert tells, too, of her childhood days, when, a little tot. she was left to watch her mothers flock of sheep and often had to frighten the wolves away
