Death of Mrs. Joseph Clayton.

After an illness of several months duration M1s. Joseph Clayton, wife of Postmaster Clayton, died Friday morning. Funeral services were held from the E. Church Saturday at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. A.

E. Peterson, after which the body was conveyed to Ivy cemetery where interment was made. Mrs. Clayton had been in poor health for a good many years, her trouble dating back to the time she suffered severe injuries In a cyclone, from which she never fully recovered. On the evening 01 the 25th of the past July she was stricken with paralysis, and since that time had been unable to scarcely move or speak.

What she suffered, she alone knew, as she was unable to tell anyone. All that could possibly be done was done forher but to no avail and her sufferings ended with death Friday morning. Samantha Moore was born April 1844, in Hocking county, Ohio, came to Ivy township in the fall of 1866, died October 16, 1908, aged 64 years, 6 months and 25 days. She was married to Joseph Clayton July 22, 1881. One child was born of this union, David Clayton, now of Ellensburg, Washington.

Mrs. Clayton was converted and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of 15 years. She maintained her faith in God through years of affliction and suffering after expressing her love for the cause of Christianity. Mrs. Clayton leaves an aged husband and one son, D.

P. Clayton, now of Ellensburg, to mourn her loss. The News joins the community in extending sympathy to the bereaved husband and son, and other I relatives.

S. W. MARTIN, Pastor. FARMERS' INSTITUTE To be Held at the Admire Opera House, October 27th. The farmers of Kansas are taking a wonderful interest in institute work.

Three years ago there were only thirteen orgunizations in the state, and now there are two hundred and ten. The meeting for Admire is set for Tuesday, October 27, and it is hoped that the farmers of the community will take hold and make a great success of it. A splendid program has been arranged and the meeting will begin promptly at 10 o'clock. Farmers are urged and invited to bring samples of corn (ten ears) apples (five) and potatoes (six). If the farmer's wives will bring in butter (one pound) it will help the exhibit and then the corn and butter can be judged by the Agricultural College men who will be here.

As we are allotted some time on the program for a public drill in horse and cattle judging the local management have decided to add a small horse and cattle exhibit to the program, and for this purpose have secured the yards south of the livery barn where hay and tieing room can be found. As the management are not in a position to offer premiums we cannot expect a great exhibit in this line, but do hope and insist, at least. that the farmers of our immediate vicinity will see the to it that there is a good assortment of draft, roadsters and all horses are exhibited and purpose College men will be detailed to tie to them ribbons most appropriate. Those men have no doubt attended the American Royal and had their conception of fine stock brightened up and will be able to show us good points in horse, mule and cattle judging. Be sure and bring the boys for this part of the program.

Lets take a day off and attend the Farmers Institute at Admire. Bring your dinners as there is plenty of room in the opera house for all, and should it be a little stormy, come any way, as it will be nice and comfortable there and we can all have a real good time together.

DORA The Home Talent Play at The Opera House Saturday Night a Fine Success. One of the best plays ever put on at the opera house in Admire was the home talent play, "Dora" which was put on Saturday night. The play was carried through without a hitch to mar it. The play was under the management of J. C.

Fuller, who has had many practice and training in the years opera work, and who took much pains to train those taking part. The plot of the play was laid in England and represented English rural life as it was one hundred years ago. The opera house was packed to the doors every available seat being taken. The play pleased the large pudience immensely and all semed perfectly satisfied. Josie Romesbrg, as Dora Allen, was the leading lady, and the way she carried her part through would have been a credit to a professional.

Blanche Worthington, as Mary Morrison, servant of the Allen's, was perfectly at home in her part and played it with the air of a professional. Frank Oglesby, as Will Allen, and Jake Romesburg, as Luke Bloomfield, were all that could be asked of amateurs. They played their parts with dignity and grace that was all right. W. H.

Hottle, as Jem Blunt--well perhaps the least said the better. Harry Hottle, as Little Willie, was there with the goods all right. J. C. Fuller took the part of Farmer Allen.

We wish to congratulate the players one and all for their excellent playing and for the big success of the play. "Boye' Needle Threader PAT. Simple, durable, automatic. It threads any needle itself even in the dark. Most valuable of all attachments.
