OBITUARY. Mrs Mary Ann (Graham) Swartz was born in Ohio, June 3, 1843, and was 66 years and 3 months of age at the time of her death, Sept. 3, 1909. Her husband preceded her to the better land some four years ago. She was a model wife, a loving mother and was highly respected by all who knew her. She was a faithful member of the U. B. church. While in poor health she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Putt of Jordan tp. She bore her sickness bravely and only waited till she would pass to the better land and meet her loved ones on the other shore. Her sufferings were great the last week of her life, she having been thrown into spasms and so she expired. She is gone but not forgotten, Never shall her memory fade; Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger Round the grave where she is laid N'o more her kind and loving face Shall light the gloom of home; Yet in memory’s love we see her While in sorrow we are alone. Interment was made in the Welsh cemetery Sunday, Sept. 5, and services conducted by Bro. Comer of north of Rensselaer.

The relatives desire to thank the friends who assisted them in their mother’s sickness and death. xx. Come to The Democrat office for fine job printing.

HOW HOT DOES IT GET?

A common opinion is that people sorch to a crisp in Mississippi The facts of the case are as is shown by the United States weather report that it has not been as hot InMacon, Miss., in the last five years by five degrees as at Rensselaer, yet their summers are long and the temperature is often high. Alfalfa requires it to do its best. There are plenty of shade trees, ice has the same effect there as here and is considerable cheaper. Plenty of faithful workers can be cheaply employed to do both the field and housework. Poultry and dairy products bring about the same price as here. There are many opportunities for a northern man. And the cheapest alfalfa land in the United States

The Wonders of Papermaking.

It may surprise the boys and girls to hear that there are more than 2.000 patents relating to the manufacture of paper, and perhaps it may surprise them even more to bear how many things may be used to make paper of. Following are some of them: The leaves of trees, the wood of trees, hop plants, beau stalks, pea vines, the trunks and stems of Indian corn, every variety of grain, moss, clover and timothy hay, more than 100 kinds of grass, straw and cocoanut fiber, fresh water weeds and seaweeds, sawdust, shavings and asbestus, thistles and thistledown, banana skins, tobacco stalks, tanbark. hair, wool, fur and old sacking or bagging, in fact, there seems to be scarcely anything that may not be used In the process.—Chicago News. Conundrums. Why should a fisherman be very wealthy? Because his is all net profit. Why is your eye like a man being flogged? it is under the How do you account for the water in a watermelon? By recalling that it was planted in the spring How many make a million? Very few. What is the difference between an Indian and an Irishman? One smokes the pipe of peace* and the other smokes a piece of pipe. Why are cats like unskilled surgeons? Because they mew-till-late and destroy patients (patience). When may a chair be said to dislike you? When it can’t bear you. Wbat should you do to it? Cane it. Why is a proud girl like a music box? She is full of airs.
