At his home, Sunday. Feb. 22nd, 1903, J. R. Deans departed this life at the age of 52 years, 10 months and 25 days.

Mr. Deans was married to Nan Buford on 8th day of April, 1876. To this union were born six children, two of them having preceded the father to the other world. Mrs. Deans with Viola, Willie, Gladys and Mrs.

Lora Sequist are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father. He was known to almost everyone in WTabaun-see county, having for years boen one of the best teachers in the county; also having preached for a number of years. Truly a good man has gone to his reward. He measured all his transactions by the standard of as has been beautifully illustrated in his life. While by his death his heart-broken family has been shrouded with deepest sorrow, yet his kind treatment of all, his christian life, counsels and examples, as cherished memories should soon dispel all gloom in the higher thought of so living as to constitute an unbroken family reunion in the hereafter.

Eskridge Star. J. R. Deans was well known in North Lyon county and at one time was professor of the Allen schools. Mr.

Deans was loved and respected by everyone, who will regret to learn of his sad death. J. T. Johnson. W.

Editor of The Journal: We arrived in Indiana on the 7th of January in a big snow storm. It was duite different from the day we left Kansas. It has been such a cold win. ter with a great deal of snow and rain. There is so much water on the ground that it doesn't look like there would ever be a drought here- This is a pretty county with nice town and cities good schools, but I think Kansas is far ahead of Indiana in the same respects.

Swenson have signified their intention of putting in switchboards at once both of which have been ordered and-will probably be installed in the near future. Mr. Troutman last Saturday informed us that he would order a switchboard at once and have it in service as soon as possible. He also made arrangements to build a new line into the Ozark and purchased the poles for that purpose. Mr.

Swenson made this office a call Monday and informed us that he had already ordered a switchboard for a system in this city, which he expects to put into service immediately upon its arrival and is hauling poles for a tele phone system into the Ozark territory. We are pleased to note that these gentlemen have at last realized the necessity of a telephone system at this place, but do not believe that two central stations will be either practicable or profitable and cannot give satisfaction to the general pudlic. The proper thing to do is to co-operate and perfect a sj s-tem that will give first class service, commanding the united support of everyone concerned.
