In ten minutes the associates were

assistance of the diamond magnate's

Mr.. Evans was born at Rock
Prairie, northeast of Manchester on
March 1st, 1867, and when he was
still a small child his parents moved
to Coffins Grove township, where he
grew to manhood, He was united In
marriage with Miss Ada Hersey, of
Coffine Grove, on February 9Th, 1897.
Throughout all Of his life he followed
the occupation Of farmer, and it
can thruthfully be said of him that
he was a conscientious hardworking
man, and eminently successful in his
calling. He was a kind and devoted
husband and father, and his passing
Just in the prime Of life, is the source
of profound sorrow.
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, the Misses Gretchen and
Elizabeth; his aged father, John
Evans, OF Manchester; and four
brothers and four sisters; David
Evans, of White Lake. South Dakota;
Richard Evans, of Warden, Washing
ton; Thomas and Jenkin Evans, of
Coffins Grove; Mrs. Roy Glenny,f of

Manchester; Mrs. Thos. Lee OF Mason

Mr.. Evans was man OF kindly
nature, and in his dealings with his
neighbors and friends he was emfn-
emily fair and square, and had earned
the high regard and esteem of the
entire community, so long his home.
His death takes from the home kind
husband and father, and takes from
the community a man who will be
greatly missed by his neighbors and
associates. ~
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the members Of
the family who mourn for him.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

~
The regular meeting 4of the Man
chester Commercial club was held at
Kecklers restaurant on Monday eve
ming, and was attended by a large
number of the members. Following the
dinner Secretary E. w. Williams read
the annual reports Of the Commercial
Club, the Armory fund. and the report
of the Delaware County Fair Society.
Mr.. Villains reports showed that
there are handsome balances in both
the Commercial Club and Armory
treasures and that the receipts of
the fair over expenses this year viii
be approximately $2,700.O0.
Mr. Williams also submitted re-
port with reference to the use the
Armory had been put to since it was
taken over by the club, and was shown
that during the eleven months covered
by his report the Armory was used
by the various organizations Of Man
chester 122 evenings and days. In adj
dition to this the Commercial Club
in this way provided quarters for the
Secretary of the Home Service Section
of the Red Cross the American Legion
and the local band.
The question of renewing the con-
tract with Mr.. Williams. as secretary
OF the club for another year, came
up for consideration, and was refer
red to the executive committee, with
power to act. Mr.. Williams has work.
ed faithfully and hard for the inter-
ests OF the club, since he has been
the secretary. The executive commit
tee will make no mistake in engaging
Mr.. Williams for another year. He
has had any number of flattering Of
fers from Commercial Organizations
and Fair Associations in this and
other states, and we trust that the
executive committe will be able to Sc
cure his services for next year.
Mr.. Robert Combs, the new County
Agent, was present at the meeting
and was called on for brief remarks.
Mr.. Combs expressed his pleasure at
being privileged to meet with the busi-
ness men Of this city, and assured
the club that he would be pleased
to cooperate with it in every way
POSSIBLE, to the end that the best in
tarests of the club and the organi-
cation he represents would be served,
Rev. A. O. Knapp. who recently

]. ]. PENTONY FOR SHERIFF.

]. j. Pentony's name will appear
on the election ballot this fall as a
candidate for Sheriff of Delaware
County because Of a widespread de-
mand for his return to this office. He
was at first reluctant to allow his
name to be filed at the primary cleo
tion last spring but consented after
numerous friends from both parties
had urged him to do so and assured
him Of their active support. Mr.. PEN
tony has not made personal can
vass of the county. He enjoys a per-
sonal acquaintance with practically
every male voter in the county and
doubtless would esteem it as great a
privilege If he could say as much
with respect to the women voters,
whose support however, he highly
prizes and earnestly solicits.
AS Chairman of the local exemption
board during the entire period of the
Great War he came in contact with
and became personally acquainted
with all the men in the draft, and as
will be recalled was busily engaged
in the work of the exemption board
all during the last campaign. He made
no campaign for his own election
but gave his whole time to the work Of
the board while his opponent who
defeated him was free and made a
house to house canvass Of the county.
Mr.. Pentony made many warm friends
among the boys who went to the army
from this county, because of his fair
and impartial handling Of the indiyi-
dual cases before the exemption board.
Two years ago he was in large part
deprived OF the benefit Of the support
Of these men because they were then
in the service. But now that they are
back home he is assured Aof the loyal
tnt king of these men on election day.
The strong plank in Mr.. Pcntony's
platform is his efficiency. He knows
how to pers.rm tue duties Of Sheriff
from A to 2 and did so to the entire
satisfaction Of The people Of Delaware
County during his term of office. His
election means an efficient and busi-
nesslike. adniinist,e'i)n of affairs in
the Sheriff's office.

The remains were accompanied to
Manchester by his daughter, Mrs. J.
H. DaYfin. of Molino, Florida, and son,
Lewis ]. Spare OF Floral Park, Long
Island, and upon their arrival here
were taken to the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Edward Putnam, in North
Manchester, and funeral services held
Sunday afternoon. Rev. H. l.. Cough
nour, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church, had charge of the SER
vices. Interment was made in the
cemetery at Rock Prairie, where rest
the remains of his wife and two sons
who preceded the husband and father
some years since Those who bore the
remains of the beloved Veteran to
their final resting place on Sunday,
were, w. L. Drew, P. F. Madden, e.
e. Ryan. Adrian Hatch, G. A. Arm
strong, and Hiram j. New.
Mr.. Spare was born at Galena, H.,
October 9th, 1S41 When young man
he answered his country's first call for
volunteers at the outbreak Of the Civil
war, and enlisted in Co. /, 96th Illinois
Infantry, and served with honor dur
ing the entire period of the war. On
December 10th, 1867, he was united in
marriage with Miss Lydia Warner, at
Apple River, Illinois, and to this union
two sons were born: John z. Spare,
of Camp Eustis. Virginia; and George
A. Spare, who was killed In a railroad
accident six years ago. Mrs. Spare pass
ed away in 1878.
On April 23rd, 1879, Mr.. Spare was
united in marriage with Miss Mary
Michaels, OF Colesburg, Iowa, and to
this union were born the following
children: Mrs. Edward Putnam, Of
Manchester; Mrs. G. e. Snowden, Of
Evergreen, Alabama; Mrs E. L. Snow
den Of Burkeville, Texas; Mrs. J. H.
Daffin of Molino, Florida; D. F. Spare
of Beulah Springs, Florida; Lewis j..
Spare, of Floral Park, Long Island;
and Frank Spare, who died at the age
of four years, on February 1st, 1893.
Mr.. Spare came to Delaware County
in March, 1883, and located on farm
at Rock Prairie, about three miles
northeast of Manchester. Here the FAM
lily resided until eighteen years ago.
when they moved to Beulah Springs,
Florida. While the family lived at
Rock Prairie, Mrs. Spare passed away
on May 21st, 1901.
On January 7th, 1907, Mr.. Spare
was again married, taking for his
wife Miss Amy Brooks, of Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. He leaves to mourn for
him the wife, and the children men
toned, also his step-mother Mrs. j.
C. Spare of Galena, Illinois, and one
brother, e. o. Spare of Pensacola,
Florida.
In early life Mr. Spare was bap-
tized in the Presbyterian church, but
never united with the church. He was
kind husband and father, and always
ministered to the best interests OF
those near and dear to him.
On account of the very critical ILL
ness of one of the daughters, Mrs. c.
e. Snowden, of Evergreen, Alabama,
the other children were unable to
come to Manchester to be present at
the funeral services on Sunday.
The sympathy of many friends of
the family is extended the wife and
children in this their hour of sorrow.

war, and former resident OF Delaware
County, passed away at his home in
Benlah Springs, Florida, at $500 o.
clock on the morning of October 18th,
1920, at the age of nearly 79 years.
In January, 1920, Mr.. Spare suffered
a slight stroke of paralysis, but rallied
from the effects of this so that he
was able to be about until about three
days before his death, when his
strength suddenly failed, due in large
measure to the infirmities of years.

is IOWA DOUBTFUL AS TO STATE
ELECTION.

A number of competent and impair
tial political writers classs Iowa as a
doubtful state as to United States
Senator and Governor, placing it in
the Republican column as to the presi-
dental election. How inspiring it is
to know that even Iowa politicians of
the bourbon type admit that Iowa has
become doubtful state on the ques-
tion Of the election of Senator and
Governor; that It is possible for the
people to overthrow the machine that
has dominated the state and discredit-
ed It to its everlasting shame. It is
worth something to know that there
is a fighting chance, not particlar-
ly to elect democrats, but to defeat
the gang of politicians who have dis
regarded public interest and have per-
mitted and even been parties to
schemes deliberately designed to pill
fer the people Of this state. Whether
or not Iowa is doubtful state de-
pends upon whether the party lash
has lost it's potency to drive men and
women into supporting ticket which
represents such a machine. Iowa Is
not doubtful If it's citizens have not
reached the conclusion that they have
interests other than the interests OF
the political element. 1t is doubtful
if its mem and women will vote for
their honorable convictions as to the
kind of an administration the Republi-
can party has given us in the state
house in recent years. st
