Kditok. Last Wednesday morning tha wires brought the news to our city, that V. E. Jennings, of the Independence Mercury, was dead, Mr. Jennings lived here for nearly three years, and had many friends here, who were sorry to hear of his untimely demise.

Ono of tho mo 3t pleasant gatherings of tho season, took place at the residence of Mr. Asher Curlls on the 14, that being his 63rd birthday. A goodly number of his neighbors, who hold him In high esteem, surprised htm by brlnglngln well filled baskets, containing all the good thingi that the most fastidous appetite could wish. for. It is needless to say that all present to the number of forty persons enjoyed themselves.

All had agood time, plenty to eat, and plenty left. Mr. Curlls will long remember with pleasure his 63rd birthday. Now is notonly good a time for building sidewalks, but It is a splendid time to take observations, and make notes of the places where they are badly needed. The sidewalk that affords good tranportatlon just now will answer for a while yet, but on some of our principal thoroughfares it is evident that new walks in some places and extensive repairs in other places are a necessity that must be attended to in the near future.

lie was, to his friends, kind and generous, to his enemies, unrelenting, lie was a good newspaper man, and his paper was always a model of neatuess and beauty. About ten days ago ho was taken seriously ill with pneumonia but nevei rallied, and about 7 o'clock Tuesday evening passed over the valley of the shadow of death into the great beyond. He leaves a young wife, his mother and sister and a host of friends to mourn his loss. About two weeks ago we met him in the court house at Independence; he was at that time, to all outward appearance, full of life and vigor, with bright hopes and anticipations before him. Now he has gone away from us, to return no more, and his mortal remains are slumbering beneath the clods of the valley.

This should teach us the uncertainty of life, the certainty of death and the necessity of preparing for it. THE FUNERAL. As mentioned in the Reporter of yesterday evening, the funeral services of V. E. Jennings were held at the Presbyterian church this forenoon.

The newspaper offices of the city furnished the pall bearier for the occasion, all four of the offices being represented. The procession arrived at the church at 10:30 o'clock, where a goodly number of our citizens were already assembled to pay the last tribute of respects to the memory of the young editor, although he had been but a short time among us and was almost a stranger in our midst. The Presbyterian choir was in attendance and sung as a voluntary "Go bury thy sorrow" and afterwards those beautiful hymns "The Lords my Shepherd" and "Jesus Lover of my soul." Dr, Grimes preached a short but very appropriate discourse and at the close of the exercises an opportunity was given to view the remains, after which they were born away, followed by a large number of carriages, and laid to rest in Mt. Hope cemetry. Mrs.

Jennings is terrible prostrated by her heavy affliction which seems too great for her to bear and the deepest sympathy is expressed for her in her terrible bereavement. Reporter NOTICE BY PUBLICATION. T. Lockwood, Plaintiff, s. J.

Now we wan't to indorse what the circular says In regard to the quaility of the above mentioned corn, for seed or other purposes. No better corn ever grew in any country. We know whereof we speak, because it was raised right here in Elk river bottom, and was purchased by the Eurek Elevator Commission Co. for 30 cents per bushel from our grain dealers and shipped to the car load.
