Furniture, Rugs and Carpets

A piece of Furniture may look beautiful, as you see it on the floor, but what do you KNOW about its serviceable qualities? When you buy Furniture these have a direct effect on your pocketbook one way or the other. Don't fall into the costly habit of taking things for granted. My practical experience en­

ables me to show you and give you the best, and my low expenses permits me to sell lower than any one. I save you 25 to 50 per cent. I have a few Refrigerators I am going to close out 25 per cent less than heretofore.

LODER'S ADDRESS:

Talked On Rise and Fall of Nations At Open Meeting of G. A. R.— Others On Program.

The open meeting of the Grand Army Post Saturday evening was of unusual interest. The address of Rev. J. W. Loder was pronounce.d a masterpiece by his comrades and all others who heard him.

He talked on the "Rise and Fall of Nations," and the address took up the history of nations, briefly, from the earliest period to the present, noting their rise and fall, and cause, and ended with the rise of our own especially favored nation, and its mission. The address was a masterpiece, both in theme and oratory, and Rev. Loder was warmly congratulated by his hearers.

In addition to the address, Capt. Henry Snow and James Mitchell recited, and Gapt. Card sang a song that he had sung for General Grant many times during the Civil war. At the close of the meeting Rev. Loder was given a rising vote of thanks by his comrades.

Obituary.

Margaret R. Offutt was bom on March 27, 1836, in Rush county, Indiana, near the town of Carthage, and died in Greenfield, Ind., July 15, 1911. She was the daughter of Joseph and Nancy Power, who came from Kentucky in an early day, and settled on a farm three miles east of Carthage, where they lived to old age, retiring from farm life and moving to Carthage after bodily infirmities made it impossible for them to follow farm life longer. After reaching an advanced age, they both departed this life in the town where they spent their last days.

Their children were William, Margaret and Amanda. William died in 1861 at Ogden, Ind. Margaret is now called to her last resting place, leaving Amanda Hill, the only survivor of the family. February 22, 1859, Margaret R. Power was married to James W. Offutt, of Arlington, Ind. The offspring of their marriage were two children— Edward Y. and Joseph S. Edward died in infancy, and Joseph departed this life December 29, 1890, at the age of 28 years, and leaving his mother childless. The husband died October 5, 1867, since which time Mrs. Offutt* has remained a widow.

She lived at Arlington, Ind., for some fifty years, but five years ago she decided to come to Greenfield to spend the remainder of her days, where she enjoyed life until her late sickness and death.

She was a hard-working and kind hearted woman, and was much beloved and respected by her neighbors and friends.

She, with her parents, joined the Presbyterian church at Knightstown Ind., in 1856. After marrying and moving to Arlington, she moved her church membership to Rushville, where she was a communicant until she moved to Greenfield. At the time of her death she was a member of the First Presbyterian church in this city.

Her last sickness was painful and prolonged, but she bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation. She passed into the eternal world without a struggle, simply falling asleep in Jesus.

The funeral services were held at her late residence Monday, July 17, at 12:30 p. m., after which the body was taken to the Barrett cemetery, south of Knightstown, where it wras laid to rest to await the final resurrection morn. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Joseph Williamson, of the Presbyterian church.

PIOUS WISDOM. (Ram's Horn.)

A man's wife is a better judge of his religion than his pastor.

When God is on our side, every star in the heavens is fighting for us.

A man runs down his shoes because he walks that way in his mind.

The faster the wrongdoer travels the swifter he goes to destruction.

The man who steps where God tells him to will never fall into the mud.

When the devil can run the choir he don't care who does the preaching.

Find the place where hope dies, and you will know where hell begins.

"Do it now!" is the magic pebble that turns a lot of common things into gold.

Many a man is a hero because his circumstances will not let him be anything else.
