Mrs. Bessie McDaniel was born in‘ 1874 near Tyner City, Marshall county, Ind., and died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hooten, ‘ of Marshall county, July 27, 1893, aged 19 years, 2 months and 11 days. | The deceased was married to Mr. Ed McDaniel, of near this place, March ‘ 19, 1891. | The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Snyder in the M. E. church of ‘ this place, Saturday, July 29, at 2 o’clock, p. m., and the burial was held at the Walkerton cemetery. Wheat Must Go Higher. From present indications there will be an advance in the price of wheat. The best American and FEuropean \ authorities agree that the world’s de- | ficiency will be at least 100,000,000 ‘ | bushels. The most reliable figures now | \ place tiie total American crop of 1893 | llut. 533,000,000 bushels, which, zlddvd! l to the surplus carried over, will make } | less than 450,000,000 bushels. Tngland | will want probably 250,000,000 bushels “:md the home trade needs 370,000,000 | bushels. 1t is believed that in view of | the fact that the American ecrop is 130,000,000 bushels short as m-z;:p‘.::w.! | with last year and as Europe with a | short erop is now grabbing up AemeriL can wheat as fast as she T':e:; without | attracting too much attention, the time (bag come when American farmers _l“«'hnllhi not gell a bushei of wheat at ‘ ‘ present prices. IFor, granted that prices {do not advance, it will pay much better | Lo feed to stock than to sell at present | prices.— Aerican Journal of Agricul . | ture. 1 l Dowell, the dentist, extracts teeth J. without pain.
