Mexico, Mo-, Sept. I've got
our wished-for cooler weather last
week and a few tanks of rain. All
life is the better and the happier.
Could we have had the rain seven
weeks ago it would have been worth
million dollars to the people of
','rcin county. But we are going
l. Thip the kaiser, anyway.
Mrs. Ora Isgrig, wife of John w.
Isgrig, died at her home, just west of
Mexico, Thursday afternoon. The
body was taken to Laddonia for
burial, near her old home. Mrs. Is
grig was 46 years old. Besides the
husband, she leaves the following
children: John Isgrig, Jr., Mrs.
Ethel Saylor, and Daily, Raymond,
Violet, BAIL, Hadel, and an infant,
but a few days old. Mrs. Isgrig was
Christian woman, highly beloved
by all who knew her. The bereft IA
| ther and motherless children have
the sympathy of all.
