On Friday. July 10th, John Young
berg, an old and highly respected set
tier of Bookings passed away at his
home in the city after an illness of
several years, only the past few weeks
of which he was confined to the house
or TO his bed. He was surrounded by
his children and his last days were
as peaceful and happy as the pains
Of disease would permit. The funer-
al was held on Sunday afternoon from
the Lutheran church. the Rev. b. A.
Benson conducting the services. a
very large concourse of people attend
ed, to pay their last tribute to his
memory, many coming from distant
parts of the county and from other
places in the state to be present. AS

berg vas one of the men who from
the early days of settlement command

tact. Educated for the ministry he
was licensed to preach and in the days
when ministers were scarce he often
conducted religious services. He was
a forceful and entertaining speaker
and often made addresses on patriotic,
public and social occasions. He was
a strong supporter Of the temperance
movement and a lifelong republican.
His fluent use Of Swedish, Norwegian
and English made him often in de-
mand to address gatherings in various
parts of the county. During his later
years, since residing in %Brookings, he
has not taken as active a part in pub
lie matters as he did before.
John ~YoungDerg was born in South.

an education as the country afforded,
and when he came to America about
1860, he vas able to obtain work at
once in New York City. About 1864
he moved to Chicago and in 1861
attended the Lutheran Seminary at
Paxton, Ill. In 1867 he went to Man
kato, Mimi, and bought a farm and
the following year was married to
Lindskog, who came from the
part Of Sweden. In March, 1879,
with his wife and children, he came
to Bookings county and entered on
a homestead in lakewood township,
where he lived until moving to the

a sore head when his wife asks him
for money or is asked for a contribu-
ton to the Red Cross; the woman
who whispers around that some other
woman is not what she ought to be;
the preacher who is always looking
for an easier place at a higher salary;
the man who walks the street with
his hands in his pockets while his
wife carries the baby, and the mar
who keeps a dog and says he can't
afford to take his home paper.

Mote by the Editor-Twenty-fve
years ago merchants were not so par
ticular as they are today both in the
advertising and handling their wares.
The following item, which applies
more particularly to those handling
groceries was published at that time
at the request of a lady friend and
was all the more effective by using
her own language.] Mr.. Editor-A
lady wants to say a few words,
through your paper, to grocery mer-
chants and really it is a delicate SUBJ
ject to handle. You know it is now
the time of year when our grocery
men set their vegetables outside on
the pavement. and you know there
are many tall dogs in town. Now. Mr..
Editor, you must know what | mean
to say, and if you will help me out
you will do the public a great favor.
What we want is the vegetables on
boxes, or in other words, "above high
water mark" For the good of man
kind the grocers will please attend to
it. Those wire screens they use over
baskets and barrels are not water
tight. This is a delicate matter, but
you know. when a lady goes shopping
for cabbage and beets, she doesn't
like to be obliged to get peas also.
Please put this in shape so as to Of
fend nobody.
