The remains were sent to Monon and from thence to Osborne cemetery for interment. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton attended the funeral. S. H. Hopkins returned Sunday from a week’s visit in Wabash county, his old home. He says it has been wonderfully dry down there and many farmers have not sowed their wheat yet. Corn there will average about the same as fiere, but he saw many fields in the Wabash bottoms, where they usually have immense yields that will not make one-third of a crop.

He has also received inquiries from Australia and has sold one pair in Canada, and could sell a number more but for the import duty which is 33>1-3 per cent, or sls on each pair, making it impossible to sell any more in that country. William Wright, a brickmason who has worked in almost all the principal countries on the globe, and a brother of Mrs. W. H. Beam, dropped in unannounced on his sister Saturday night. Mr. Beam had not seen his brother-in-law for a quarter of a century but knew the voice at once and in that way did not have to be introduced to him. Mr. Wright’s home is at Stockton, Cali. He came here from Oklahoma City, Okla., where he has been spending the summer. County Superintendent Lamsont pnd Ross Dean took a little trip of over a hundred miles in the former’s new auto Sunday, going as far Bouth as Ambia.
