Verrell died in Ontario Cal. Jan. 22 1903, after several months illness. The funeral took place in Roseburg Oreg. her former home.

Mrs. Verrell was formerly Miss Mamie Hanson. She was born in Milwaukee Wis. in 1876, and moved from Ash Rock to Oregon with her father Peter Hanson in 1891, was married to Chas. Verrell in 1896.

She leaves a busband, three small children, two brothers, three sisters and many friends to mourn her loss. Willie Edwin, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

McNutt was born May 25, 1885 on the farm where the family now lives. His death occurred at 1:30 A. M. Thursday, February 26, 1903, after a very brief illness. He was taken very sick with Pneumonia on February 18, and remained so until death, but was very patient, never complaining in the least.

Buri. al services were conducted at the Ash Rock Cemetery at 3 P. M. on the day following his death, February 27. Willie was a very modest, gentlemanly boy with noble ambitions.

His greatest desire was to obtain a finished education, and to accomplish this he let no opportunity escape, always being a good student in the common school at home from which he earned and received a county diploma in the spring of 1901. Last fall he entered the Agricultural college of this state where he completed the preparatory work, and to which he intended to return in the coming autumn. The demand for such young men in our country far exceeds the supply and it is indeed very sad to see one with such noble desires cut down at the very dawn of manhood and his young and pure life blotted out forever. May his sorrowing parents find comfort in the promise that all will be well. It is useless to say that they have the heartfelt sympathy of kind friends, but sympathy and love are far too weak to soothe their sorrow or fill the vacant chair in the cheerless home.

God in time will heal the wound but the tender scar will ever remain until all have followed where Willie and his darling sister bave lead the way. Died at bis home in Ash Rock township Rooks county Kansas, Fehruary 28, Arba C. Grimes. Aged 39 years. 11 months and 9 days.

Funeral services were held on the following day at 2:30 P. M. at the Stone Church conducted by the Rev. Kirkpatric, after which interment was made in the Ash Rock Cemetery. Mr.

Grimes was taken sick some two months ago with Pleura Pneumonia from which attack he rallied and was about his work again, I he took quite a long drive in the cold and was taken sick again the next day and was not able with the aid of all the medical skill that could be summoned, to baffle successfully with the deep hold that disease had taken. He was born in Kalamazoo county Michigan March 21, 1863. Was married to Mrs. Lucy Lewis three months ago. He leaves to mourn his death a father, mother, brother two sisters, a wife, four stepsons and a sixteen year old daughter by a former wife, all were present but Fred Lewis who is working in the eastern part of the state.

A large concourse of neighbors and friends were in attendance at the funeral services. A- gain we are reminded that in the midst of life we are in the midst of death and sooner or later we will all pass through the valley of the shaddow. M. L. M.

The rabbit did not put up much of a fight but gave them a good chase. One of the birds would swoop down upon the enemy and give him a conple of slaps and then rise far above him, then the other one would go through the same performance. finally the eagles killed the jack and proceeded to make a good square meal of the carcass. Rumor has it that on Monday evening some of the ladies of the W. C.

T. U. felt like making a present of some kind to our local booze detective for the untiring efforts he WaS making to put down booze. and not knowing just what would suit him best they finally decided to buy a dozen eggs and present them to the gentleman. One lady with hatchet in hand was to make a neat little speech to show their appreciation of what the detective bad done for the cause, hut women are timid and when they approached the great man they halted about ten feet from him and tossed the eggs to him.

He received only a few of them, the greater part being smashed against a store building which proves that a woman can't throw straight, no matter how well she aims. CRANKY ANN.

It is true that the Pops are dead, but it strikes us that this legislature will resurrect them again. If not it should. If the Pops never did a thing, the drubbing they gave the G.

To much for comfort. One imagines that he will be the next. It is said that the people along the Codell mail route set their clocks by Joe Burch. The snow plow fooled folks the other morning. They have been used to using the passenger whistle to get up by and they thought their clocks were off.

The man that has in a crop of wheat can draw on it now, if the chinch bugs. hessian fly, hail storms, straw werms, etc. etc. let it alone. Reuben Smutterings.

We notice this ad in the store windows and in the merchant's ad in the papers. "Going at cost." "Selling at cost" etc. Now did a farmer ever let go of a thin, at cost? Would he not like to get the cost on one half the things he sells? We think yes and there is no great hoodoo made over it either. It is said that "the early bird catches the worm." It strikes us that he gets a cold breakfast these mornings. One foot Sall talked rough to us a couple of weeks ago.
