L. G. Grubb. McDonald At her home in Cora township, Sept. 15th, 1889, Mary A McDonald, aged 31 years, 1 month nuu -i uiiyg.

The maiden name of the deceased was Ovennillrr. She was born in Carroll county, Maryland, July 21st, 1858, and removed with her parents, when about ten years of age, to Fulton county, 111 She mis there united in marriage with Alex McDonald on Feb. 20th, 1879, and Immigrated to Smith County, Kansas, in March of the same year. 31 r. McDonald was a woman whose virtues were many and whose failings were few.

Her highest ambition was to care for the comfort and promote the welfare of her family. In her daily life she displayed a character of pure unsetllsluifss, gentleness and patience, Her thoughts were always of others, never of herself, these qualities en dearea her to all with whom she came in contact. Thoroughly domestic in her tastes, her affections were centered in her home, from which she was seldom absent. She leaves, besides her sorrow ing nusnanu ana nve Mtle ones, an father and mother, three brothers and one sister to mourn her loss. Al though sorely stricken by ber untimely dentin these bereaved ones mourn not as those without hope.

Feeling that one whose life on earth was so patient, so entirely unselfish, so pure in thought and deed, must be fitted to enjoy heavenly home in the great hereafter, Remembering also that Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. The, remains were followed to the Cora cemetery by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and there laid to rest to await the resurection morn. Mrs. J. N.

II. Astoria, 111., Argus, please copy. New Lumber Yard. Having decided to engage in the Lumber and Coal business, I take this opportunity of announcing to my friends, that I can be found at my of fice on the east side of the public square in SmiM Centre, in the building formerly occupied by John Harding as a carpenter shop. The yards will be just south of the office.

I expect to handle all kinds of lumber, building material, coal, and in fact everything usually kept in a first class Lumber Yard. I have associated with me in this new venture, the old veteran lumberman Wiliard Smith, formerly with Thos. Ramsey of Gaylord, who, be cause of his thorough acquaintance with lumber dealers, is able to get the inside prices. It is our intention to give the people the benefit of whatever advantages we may have. Soliciting a share of the public patronage in my line, I remain very truly, E.

The city of Lebanon in the east part of the county, will celebrate its second anniversary next Tuesday, the 1st of October. On the 1st day of October, 1887. the now beautiful little city of Lebanon, was Uus. Tomilson's corn lipid. The Hock Island railway was buildinir throinrh Oak township, and decided to locate a station at this place, The "old town" of Lebanon, which was located about three or four miles south west of the present site, and composed of 25 or 30 inhabitants, was very indignant at the action of the railway company, but as they would not be on the line of the road when built their objections amounted to very little.

The railroad company had had experi ence enough in locating towns, to know that sooner or later the old town people would find it to their interest to move to the new town, so they called it "New Lebanon." The people at the old town were but a short time in deciding on removing to the new town, and in the months of October and November, the half dozen buildings at old Lebanon were on wheels and going over the prairies to the new, and future city of that part of the county. A majority of the business men of the town of Salem, saw the handwriting on the wall, and followed close behind the "old town" people and located in the new city which was then springing up like a mushroom in a hot bed. Several busi ness men in the eastern part of the state also saw a great future for "New Lebanon" and hastened to locate there, while there was still room upon the ground floor. So rapid was the growth, that before the holidays, the corn field of October had grown so that it con tained upwards of 500 people. These people all coming from differ ent towns and parts of the country, would very naturally be expected to have as many different ideas of how to build a town as there were business men, but to the great surprise of all, they all went to work with the one desire of building up a strong city.

There were no factional fights allowed to grow up or even sprout in that young city, hut evervbodv put his shoulder to the wheel (and the same side of the wheel), and went steadily to pushing the cart up hill, which was made easy by the thrift and enterorise of her people. It was but a short time until they had dropped the "New" from the name, and but a short time more until they were organized as a city, with all of its attendant advantages The good work went grandly on with the young city tinninc to imorove until the near annroach of their first birthday, when her wideawake people decided to cele brate the first and perhaps each suc ceeding birthday. Extensive arrange ments were made and a grand good time was had. The first barbecued ox in Smith county was sliced up to the great delight of the gathered multitude. This year the people of that thriving little city propose to have the grandest celebration of any town in this country.

It will be held on October 1st, commencing at day light, and continuing as long as people can keep their eyes open. The largest ox in the Oak Creek valley has been secured and will be cooked to the queen's taste. Other like arrangements have been made, and a grand time is expected. Those who never saw a barbecued ox should not fail to go to Lebanon and see this one, as it is a sight, that should be witnessed in the early part of life. The city of Lebanon will be prepared to take care of all that comes and earn estly invite everybody to come.

The Republican Township Caucus. The Republicans of Centre township, met in caucus last Saturday for the purpose 01 placing in nomination, a township ticket, and for the election of a Central Committeman, with the following result: FOR TRUSTEE. II. A. Hester 64 T.M.Newby, 21 FOR TREASURER.

Beacom, 11 Theo. 4 For many years Mr. B. F. Thompson, of Pes Moines, Iowa, was severely afflicted with chronic diarrhoea.

He says: "At times it was very severe; so much so, that I feared it would end my life. About seven years ago I chanced to procure a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. It gave me prompt relief, and I believe cured me permanently, as I now eat or drink without harm, anything I please." I have also used it in my family with the best results. For sale by 0. 1.

On the first of December 1888, there were reported by the Denver architects' orders on hand for the construction in 1889, of over one hundred residences on and around Capitol Hill, and the aver age cost exceeded ior eacn house.

Denver is by common consent the handsomest residence city in the west, and every succeeding year adds to her population those who desire to live in a perfect climate. The cool dry air of Colorado has become world famous, and in many a cosy mountain retreat, reached only by the Union Pacific Railway In Colorado, may be found scores of people from all over the world who find life a joy in this health-giving atmosphere. 7-3.
