Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S C A3TO R I A This colder weather will be especially welcomed by B. S. Fendig, as the warm weather of the past two weeks has been quite severe on dressed poultry, endangering it very much. Ben can now, ship with considerable less chance of injury to his dressed turkeys. Mrs. P. M. Hann and daughter, Mrs. D. W. Hann, returned to Chicago today after having been here to attend the funeral of the former’s father, W. S. Grant.

The Modern Woodmen of America are booming at Wolcott and one evening recently a dozen new members were initiated into the mysteries of woodcraft. The local camp is expecting a revival shortly and have a deputy coming to push the boqip along. The Modern Woodmen order offers an assessment protection that is absolutely sound and that no man should be without even though he may have considerable other insurance. Besides this the lodge work is interesting and the fraternity helpful. Mrs. Della Nelson, who has been at the home of her father,«W. S. Grant, since the 6th of last January until his death last Wednesday, is now engaged in settling up the business affairs of her father. He had sold the old home place and practically everything from the farm, and leaves but little. One of the assets of “Uncle’ 1 Stott, however, was a good one, and that was* a good name and all who had known him during his long years in this county will say that he was a good man, honest, upright, charitable and kindly. These are jewels of greater value than riches and the name of “Uncle” Stott Grant will live in the kindly recollection of’ those who knew him for many years. James Tyler, of Hanging Grove township, is in possession of a printed genealogy of the Tyler, Taft, Wood, Bates and Hill families that is very Interesting and by it he has been able to positively trace his own genealogy back six generations, and to quite positively establish his relationship to at least three presidents of the United States. Thjs don’t do Jim any particular good except the satisfaction there is in it, and he don't pose a particle on these relationships but goes right ahead trying to be one of the best farmers in Jasper county. The record that is possessed by Mr. Tyler was published in 1882 in Worcester, Mass., being compiled by Newell Tyler, of that city. There were six or seven original immigrant families of Tylers who came here from England, the first families coming as early as 1620. Practically all of the Tylers were farmers.
