CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. BY DON’T TELL. Mrs. Ella May. wife of George H. May, died Dec. Bth. The funeral services was conducted at the residence by Rev. Street er, of the Goodland circuit. In- j terment in the cemetery at Remington. Ella leaves a husband, * one little girl (Agnes) past four years, of age, uud a little boy but a few days old. In the death ' of Ella we loose a good, kind| friend and neighbor, but we be- i lieve our loss is her gain. To say that the husband and father 1 has the sympathy of the entire! community is poor consolation | for him. The future looks dark! and gloomy for the bereaved family but there is comfort in the thought that they may meet again, and the song that was sung at the funeral “We never say good-bye in Heaven” must be a comfort to the husband and father in this the saddest hour of his life. Plenty of rain at pi-esent which will be a great help to the dry wells, of which this part of the county, has been unprotitbaly blessed with, as most of the dug wells have failed during the dry weather.

We hear that Win. Sayers and son Lee, are anticipating a visit to Missouri after the holidays, to look at the country, with the intention of moving out if suited. We understand thatWm B. Price who has been sick for some time past, is some better but not .able to be out of doors any of the time. Ex-county Surveyor Alter has gone to South Bend. He has been living at home this fall and winter. George Nicholson has again been laid up with the rheumatism, but at this writing is better. Literary exercises and debate ■at No. 3. every Thursday night. A good time generally. News is about as scarce as hens teeth aud rabbits in this part of North America. Albert Gray is the happy father of a seven pound boy. All doing well. Wedding bells will be heard in this vicinity in the near future. When on a visit to lowa, Mr. K. Dalton, »f Luray, Russeli County Kansas, called at the laboratory of Chamberlain’s & Co., Des Moines to show them liis six year old boy, whose life had been saved by Chamberlain'sCough Remedy, it having cured bnn of a very severe attack of croup. Mr. Dalton is certain that it saved his boy’s life and is enthusiastic in his praise of the Remedy. For sale by F. B. Meyers “the druggist.”
