Aged Resident of Newton County Passed Away Sunday Evening.

John Jenkinson, 89 years of age arid a resident ?f Jackson township, in Newton county, passed away Sunday evening at about 6 o’clock, at his farm residence near the Press Roberts farm. Saturday he was in Mt. Ayr and was so frail that he could hardly walk. He saw Undertaker W. J. Wright there and told him that he would have a trip for him in a few days. Mr. Wright replied that he guessed it would be a good while yet before he would have to go, but he said, “No, you’ll have to come after me in a day or two.” He was extremely good natured and was apparently joking, as was his custom, but it proved to be true. He was twice mar* Tied and has several grown children by his first wife and he has four by the second ■wife, whom he married fifteen years ago. His funeral will take place from the house at 2 o'clock Tuesday and burial will be made in Weston cemetery, in Rensselaer, where his first wife was also buried.

We’ve broken a lot of high-spirited fellows to our clothesj and we expect to keep on doing jit. The man we especially like to “tackle” is the fellow who thinks we can’t persuade him that these fine clothes, made for us by Hart Schaffner & Marx are better than any he gets made to measure; better for him; economy for him; better style, better quality. We’re convincing a lot of just such skeptics right along. The clothes do it; all we have to do is to get them tried on. Men are sometimes a | a little stubborn about that, but once they get into the clothes, that settles it. They are the best, the most economical, the most stylish, and about the only clothes that you know are all-wool. We like to get the other fellow, too, who thinks these clothes are too high priced, hes easy, if he once gets started; the economy is too apparent. -r= J '■ • - , .
