pounds, good actors, and are worth in any good market $1,000. Many of our citizens were surprised Monday morning when the news came announcing the death of William Peterson, son of Sol W. and Jane Peterson of the prairie north of town. Will when we knew him. a strong, hearty, industrious boy, but for the past few years his health had failed and he soemed on the decline, yet his ambition kept him up and he continued to go around. Saturday he attended the horse show at Linden, spending rather a restless night with the family of his brother John, who took him to the home of his parents Sunday where he continued to speedily grow weaker and early on Monday morning his spirit took its flight and poor Will's suffering was over. He was some 25 years of age cut down in the prime of life,taken from friends and associates, those that loved and enjoyed his associations. Why, we know not, and can only say "Thy will be done."

Wednesday was horse show. The day dawned dark and cloudy and by S o'clock was raining hard. By 10 the sky had cleared and work was begun. All morning crowds had been coming and the street was full when the show began despite the mud and wet. The afternoon opened up bright and clear. All the noon hour was employed in scraping and draginrr Mam street and wneu the show opened at 1 p. m. everything was in order aad vbe farmers came in bunches and droves urril the town was a jam of pushing and crowding humanity. More and better horses than was ever seen in Darlington were on the street in the afternoon. The judges were busy, and although at times seemed to be puzzled yet their decisions gave proncrRl =a'is^action. The best horsemen from alL the adjoining towns were prooeut. 3 p. in. anther big rain marred the proceedings and the day and show closed damp.

Sarah Matilda Kendal was born Nov. 3, 1S33 married John Hamilton June 3, 1857 died June 2, 1901. To them were born ten children, nine of whom are living and attended the funeral, four sons and five daughters. The father died in January, 1892. Mrs. Hamilton continued to live on their farm near Bowers for some years, then moved to Darlington where she continued to reBide until her death. Mrs. Hamilton was one of the, pioneer women of Indiana, working hard, caring for her family, assisting her husband and taking her full share of all the hardships incident to a pioneer life. She joined the Methcdist church early in life and was as a ministering angel to the then thinly settled neighborhood. This she continued to be so long as her health permitted, and many a sick and dying couch was made more comfortable by the willing hands of aunt, Tilda. With her, the preachers or a weary traveler was sure to find a haven of rest with her the school teacher found a home, and for far and near the Hamilton home was known for its hospitality. Time brings many changes. What was once a vast wilderness with its few scattered cabins, is now fertile fields and beautiful homes, a new generation of people, and the old fathers and mothers remain only in memory dear. Some years ago grandma was stricken with paralysis. Her condition was such she could only move with the aid of an assistant. One daughter was left to care for her, the remainine children near enough to her to be of great comfort and her last days were made as pleasant as kind hands could do. Her fun eral was held at the home Tuesday conducted by the Rev. J. C. Crowder,after which the body was laid to rect at the side of her husband in the beautiful new cemetery near Colfax. Thus ends the long and useful life of this good grandma.
