OBITUARY. * Michael Zick was born in Prussia, Germany, on the 26th day of August, 1827, and died at his home in Walker township, Nov. 6th, 1911, at the age of 84 years, 2 months and 10 days. He came to America in May, 1854, and spent some time in the south, finally coming to Laporte county, Indiana, where he was married to Minnie Caroline Sauer, in 1856. They resided there until June 1864, when

they moved to Waker township, Jasper county, Ind., where he resided until his death. Tp.this union were born five children, namely: Mrs. Augusta Dumond of Atwood, Kansas; Mrs. Millie White, Rensselaer, Ind.; Mrs. Ollie Warren, Tefft.-Ind.; and Robert and Louis, who reside at home. He also leaves four grand children and six great-grand children. Michael Zick was one of the best known and highly esteemed old citizens of Walker township. He was a successful farmer and had always enjoyed excellent health until the past few years. He has failed rapidly the past year and a half, but was able to be about the house most of the time, and during his final illness he was confined to his bed little more than a week. During that time he suffered

much pain, stomach and heart trouble being the cause of his death. He seemed to rest easier several hours before death and the end came peacefully, Monday, Nov. 6, 1911, at 4:45 p. m. He died on the same day and in the same hour that his wife’s death occured a few years ago. With the exception of the eldest daughter who did not arrive before his death, all the family were with him during his last sickness. The funeral, which was largely attended by his friends and neighbors, was held from his late residence, Friday, at 10 a. m. Services by the Rev. John Sebring of Medaryville, a close friend of the deceased. Burial took place at Wheatfield, beside the grave of his wife. Mrs. Augusta Dumond and Miss" Anita Mcliwin of Atwood, Kan., and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Grube of Wilson, No. Carolina, were here for the funeral. Mrs. Grube, v,no was formerly Miss Hattie Warren, is a granddaughter of the deceased. Card of Thanks.

A PRAYER # Lead me, Father, gently lead m«, ■ Down the weary road of life Through the sunshine, thro’ the shadow, Through the old world’s maddening strife. Guide me, holy Father, guide me. Through life’s wondrous airy land And should sin and death o’ertake me Hide me ’neath thy strong right hand. Keep me, Father, pure and holy, Through this awful dream of life, Robed in matter, born in sorrow, Filled with pain, disease and strife. Save me, holy Father, save me. When life’s sands have ebbed away, May I in Thy image waken ; When I loose this dream of clay. Holy Father, keep and guard me, Through, the night and through the day, May Christ’s presence be beside me, Ever while I watch and pray. Guard me, guide me, holy Father, Long life’s cruel, treacherous way; Through the sunshine, through the shadow, Into Thy eternal day. / ' —A. D. Babcock, Goodland, Ind. Nov. 17, 1911.

IOWA LETTER.

Allen Louks Writes of Crops and Conditions About Maxwell. Maxwell, la., Nov. 21. Mr. Editor —I will write you how lowa is at the present. It has been upside down for a few days and the other morning I heard over the phone the themometer had ktruck just below the belt. But I read in your paper a few days ago of the damage did in Indiana and Barkley tp., and other places. * It has been pretty wet here this fall, too wet to go in the fields to gather corn for a short time. Corn is better than expected. Everybody was scared, but seed time and harvest came and pretty good corn, making from 35 to ,78 bushels per acre. Oats were very light. In places wheat was a good yield, from 27 to 42 bushels. I will send you a sample of my spring wheat to show the Hoosiers. I don’t think it can be beat. If any Hoosier says he has as good or better, tell him I want to know the color of his hair or for him to show up. I won’t say what it made per acre, but it is called good wheat. People in our neighborhood are most all done picking corn and now is the poultryman's time. We have two buyers in our town and it looks to me they handle more poultry than I ever saw handled in Indiana by any six poultrymen. Now I will speak of hogs; I see lots of fat hogs in lowa They are mostly the red hog, some Polands. They are all nearly ready for the market and a fair price. This evening I was offered $5.85 per hundred. Cattle are quite cheap and only butcher stuff that is a ready sale. It sells at 4 and 4 cents per pound. Horses are a drag unless fine roadsters or real heavy drafts. I attended one sale and saw two 7-year-old black mares sell at $290, two years ago I saw the same two sell at a sale for $475. I saw two yearling mare colts and I thought thwn pretty good chunks. They sold f<ny.s 10 4, the two. Good nfilkfcows sell at from SSO to $75. J Yes, 040 thing more that comes to my mind I would like to tell the Hoosiers, they have some few mulefoot hogs in lowa. One of my neighbors bought a pair and the neighbors roasted him over them so much because he had six work muiesf; that he sold tnem for $lO less than he gave. Well, in regard to the potato crop, the early ones , were very light, none to speak of, but the late potatoes are fine. Selling at 80 cents per bushel at present. than now they got as low as 60 cents and I bought 19 bushels at 75 cents. Speaking for myself, I am done picking corn. I had 3,612 bushels. New com is 53 cents. We are milking 5 cows, have a cream separator and are selling $3 and $4 worth of butter per week, so we are living pretty fine, and if any of the Hoosiers doubt my word in regard to what I say, let them come to lowa and put their feet under my table. We also have about three bushels of hickorynuts, a lot of butternuts, some walnuts and quite a few, apples, so if any of you come, we’ll have a cracking good time. When we get The Democrat it is a race to see who gets to read it first, for it is a welcome visitor in our home, just like getting a letter, only better, from home twice a week vi 1 ' Well, enough, I will close with best regards, ALLEN LOUKS
