son of Mr. and Mrs. James Price. The funeral was held at the home at 10 a. m. Monday. There are a great many people here fishing nowadays, but the fish caught are very small. Guess the fishermen have been hearing the fish stories from out north, where people Only have to back their wagons in the dredge ditches and the fish do the loading themselves. The stock buyers say that the farmers are asking such prices for fat stock that it can’t be handled. We expect it does surprise some folks to think that the farmers have to get more than starvation prices for their products so they can meet the vast extravagance and wastefulness of this great free country of ours.

Mrs. Dave Winslow, formerly of this place, but who for the past year has lived at Morocco, died at her home at that place last Wednesday morning from a. complication of diseases. The remains werg shipped here Thursday and the funeral was held Friday at the Christian church at 10 a. m., conducted by Rev. Brady of Rensselaer. In her death the community has lost an excellent neighbor. Everybody who knew her thought well of her v The family has lost a kind and loving companion and mother. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Leander Kesler, an old and well respected resident of our town, attended the convention here Saturday and frhile on his way home dropped dead. This was a terrible shock to the family and neighbors. He had been feeling a little ill for a couple of days, but there was nothing thought of it. He had not felt so well since his horse ran away with him and threw him out of the wagon last winter. He leaves a widow, one son Ed, of this place, and three daughters, Mrs. John Carder of Laurel, Ind., Mrs. Reason Dunn a few miles south of here and Mrs. J. R. Mallatt of Reminga ton. They were all in attendance at the funeral, which took place at the Christian church Monday at 3 p. m., conducted by Rev. Clarke of Rensselaer. Interment was made in the Fair Oaks cemetery. We join in sympathy with the community for the bereaved family. God says “Be ye ready, for ye know not the hour when the son of man cometh.”

Goodland Herald: The bids for the new school house were opened Thursday and all were rejected. They ranged from 21 to 27 thousand dollars. The board is intending to build a building that when complete will cost about $20,000, and as the bids on the present plans were all so high the board was forced to reject them all. New and cheaper plans are being made and bids will be opened on June 6th. It is very unfortunate that the building should be delayed, but under the circumstances It is unavoidable. It will be impossible now to complete the new building and get it ready for school before Jan. 1, 1909.

No Use to Die. “I have found out that there is no use to die of lung trouble as long as you can get Dr. King’s New Discovery,’’ says Mrs. J. P. White, of Rushboro, Pa. “I would not be alive to-day only for that wonderful medicine. It loosens up a cough quicker than anything else, and cures lung disease even after the case is pronounced hopeless.” This most reliable remedy for coughs and colds, lagrippe, asthma, bronchitis and hoarseness, is sold under guarantee at A.

Her maiden name was Booe, and she war'married to Davis Winslow, Feb. 1, 1871. To them were born four children, one of whom died in childhood, two, Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Brockard, reside at Fair Oaks, and Joseph who resides at Morocco. Fifteen years ago, the family moved to Fair Oaks, where Mr. Winslow had charge of a section on the C. A E. I. Ry., and where they continued to reside until last fall, when they moved to Morocco where Mr. Winslow held a similar position. When seventeen years of age Mrs. Winslow joined the Christian church, and has ever remained a devoted and faithful follower of the Master. In her -departure the community has suffered the loss of the purest and noblest of women; the family the loss of the truest and most devoted of wives and mothers. The body was interred at Fair Oaks, where the funeral was held from the Christian church which was crowded witn those who knew her best, and came to offer their tribute to her memory and worth. Again the world has lost one It can ill afford to lose; again a Is left desolate to heart-broken husband and children. CARD OF THANKS.

It certainly Is a grand, good medicine, and I heartily recommend it.” A. F. LONG.
More Mews from the New Engl—d "" ' States. If any_ on ® has any doubt as to the virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stlmpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who,. after almost losing Mpe of recovery, on account of the telluro of so many remedies, finally tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thin*” for him, as four bottles cured him completely.
