Mary Harrel-Stuart died Tuesday night at her home in Cherokee, Okla. The remains were shipped to Attica aud interment made in the Attica Cemetery today. Particulars next week. Forgot About Dinner. Prof.

E. F. Farner conducted the services after Sunday school at the Methodist church Sunday morning. He assured his congregation on the start that they would get out in time for dinner and then he proceeded to make a talk that caused most of his hearers to forget all about dinner. The professor is all right any place you put him, from playing a game of tennis to preaching a sermon.

Embroidery Club. The opening meeting of the Embroidery Club was held at the hospitable home of Mrs. Zula Terrell, September 8th. The hostess, assisted by Miss lone Terrell served each guest as they arrived to delicious ice cold fruit punch, which, owing to the heat of the afternoon, was very acceptable indeed. Roll call was responded to with "How I spent the summer." Some very interesting responses were made on this subject.

At the close of a very enjoyable afternoon the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Nell Hoak, Mrs. Florence Ely and Mrs. Katherine Frerichs, served cantaloupe and assorted cakes. Club guests were Mrs.

H. Hunter, Mrs. C. E. Voorhes and Mrs.

W. T. DeVault. Patent Oil Burner. J.

C. Lockhart of this city, has recently patented a liquid fuel burner that really looks good to us, better, in fact than anything of the kind we have yet seen: Mr. Lockhart has been employed by the Santa Fe as hostler at this place, but he intends to resign that job and put in his entire time on his invention. He will manufacture the burners right here in Attica, and hopes to find a ready market for them. The burner is made for any kind of stove or hot water boiler, one being now in use in the boiler at the Trotter cream station, which gives excellent satisfaction.

It only burns three gallons of coal oil in 16 hours, which goes to show that it is really a money saver when it comes to buying fuel. DEATH'S HARVEST Old Settler Gone In the death of George Maroney, at his home in this city, Sunday evening, Attica and Harper county loses another of her old settlers and highly respected citizens. Mr. Maroney, in company with his business partner, Grant Potter, accompanied a shipment of livestock to Kansas City last week. Mr.

Maroney came home ill, but it was thought by every one that it would yield to medical treatment. He rallied and was much better Saturday and Sunday morning, but later in the day a change for the worse came and he passed away early in the evening. George Maroney was a diamond in the rough. He was a friend to everybody. He came to Harper county when a boy and for many years worked on the Stith ranch.

He took up some land near the ranch and for many years made it his home, together with his family. A few years ago he moved to town in order to give his children the benefit of our schools and has been engaged in the business of buying and selling livestock, at which he had been very successful. The writer had known Mr. Maroney for the last nine years and we always found him to be honest and straightforward in eyery way. We are proud that we are numbered as one of his friends.

OBITUARY George Maroney was born near Carrolton, Illinois, April 9, 1858. Died at Attica, Kansas, September 12, 1915, aged 57 years, 5 months and 3 days. He was the youngest of a family of six children, four brothers and one sister, of whom the sister, Mrs. James Murphy of Kane, survives him. He came to Kansas in 1884 and has resided in this county ever since.

He was married to Rebecca Dyer at Medicine Lodge, on the 25th of October, 1887. To this union were born eignt children, six sons and two daughters, four of whom, two sons and two daughters, survive him. They are: Eugene, Frank, Mary and Viretta, who, with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of a loving father and husband. The funeral was conducted at the house at 10 o'clock today by Rev. M.

C. Paslay, pastor of the United Brethren church and the remains were interred in the Attica cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family in the loss of their loved one. Uncle Jesse Tice Dead. J.

J. Tice, an old and respected citizen of Attica died at his home in this city on Tuesday at about 12 o'clock, after a lingering illness. Mr. Tice had been a sufferer for some time, but it was not thought he was in immediate danger. His son, Joe Tice and wife of Wellington, had been caring for him during the last week.

Mr. Tice was an old soldier, one of the very few remaining in this Big Business You give your business just as conscientious attention as the president of the largest Railroad gives his business. He uses a bank always. You should do the same. Use this Bank.
