Tabor, Barkley township, grave yard, but there are to be two there today. Rev. A. C. Abbott, a former well' known citizen of this county and father of Mrs. Korah Daniels and Mrs. Bowman Switzer, was buried there after funeral services at the Rosebud church in Union township, and the body erf Mrs. William George was buried there after funeral services at the Brushwood church. Both bodies were shipped here on the 10:55 train and strangely enough both of them had died at Chicago Heights. “The Happy Youngsters”, a tuneful j musical comedy, that brie many p etty , girls in the cast, will be offered at tbe Eliis theatre. The play tells a delightful story in two acts, the flist part is the school room scene, with the much dreaded examination being held; the second part is a picnic ground where the handsome teacher and pretty pupils assemble to have a good time.' Daring tbe action of the piece a number of musical gems are introduced, including the late hits, “Nine O’clock,’’ “Like the Rose ! You’re the Fairest Flower,” "Moonbeams and Dreama of You,” ‘‘Tattle Tales.” “Monterey,” "Buffalo Kate,” “Morning Cy" and “Auf Wlfclerwohn, Katy.” One of the features of the music is that earh and every num ber is acted as well as sung. To all lovers of good amusement “The Hupp Youngsters” will prove a treat. Flour is an article which is easl’y affected by cold air, as where tie Pour is really cold the dough will not work; therefore, it is well to I beat flour in tbe oven before mixing; to get good results. But to get tie' best results, you must also have the j best flour. We claim and stand ready to prove that ArUtog Is the best flour: made and if yon do not find it so l we will refund your money. Only $1.40 a sack. JOHN EGER.
