sensation to it? There wasn't any. No, absolutely nothing excepting possibly the sensation of being in an unusually bumpy Jitney while the machine was taxing for a start. The ground wasn't any too smooth and the machine had no springs so that it was a little rough until the wheels left the ground and then, oh boy, it was just so comfortable that on that hot day thought that they must be in heaven: Well, we were up. Got a fine. view of Brownstown township, too, with a little sprinkling of Driftwood and Carr thrown in.

Didn't know that Brownstown was so beautiful until I had a birdseye view of the town and it looked fine. Spring and Main streets showed up spick and span while Walnut street looked like a boulevard. The weeds and grass in the center of the street looked like nice grass plots with the roadway on either side. The farms looked so even and welllaid out that it seemed as if an architect had planned the landscape, The railroad stretching out looked like a minature railway while the river looked like a small creek. While flying over the river I tried to see if I could see far down but either the water was too muddy or I did not see good for I could not see below the surface.

It seemed the most natural thing to be One can look over the edge of the machine and see things below quite plainly. While it was somewhat hazy in the afternoon, I could see Vallonia, faintly, and with a little stretch of imagination could see Medora. Others going up declared the riding to be great and one fellow was so enthusiastic that he is contemplating going to Wabash to take their course of instruction. FARMERS' EXCHANGE.

Fish- -Isaac Fish was born January 9, 1854, near Norman in Owen township where he spent his entire life, and died July 5, 1919, aged 65 years, 5 months, and 26 days. He was the son of James and Jane Fish. He was married March 4, 1877, to Phoebe Owen. To this union were born two sons and four daughters: Marshall, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Jane McPike, of Seymour; Nannie, of Indianapolis; Mrs.

Ida Owens, of of and Della and Albert at home; Mattoon, Illinois, all six whom survive. He united with the church at Guthries Creek the fourth regular Baptist Sunday in September, 1879, and lived a faithful and devoted member until death called him home. "Uncle Ike," as called his him, friends and neighbors usually was much devoted to the doctrines and principles of his church. He was a kind christian husband and father, manifesting more than a usual interest in his dear family, thus proving his belief that faith without works is dead. He has been a very active factor in community life, always ready to promote that which was good for his friends and neighbors even to the extent of self sacrifice often.

In times of sickness and distress in the neighborhood "Uncle Ike" was always present, ready to lend a helping hand and was especially noted for his ability to always see the brighter side of life and of in his pleasant, convincing manner pointing this out helped ly to dispell the gloom and make great- life seem worth while to the distressed soul. Although his health had been failing him the past few years, yet he was cheerful and continued to see after his business affairs until the last few days. He 'was very patient in bearing his last illness and knew that his end was near and since he saw that his health would not permit his lending the helping hand that he was accustomed to, he really welcomed the summons home. To him death had not sting but simply meant the happy realization- of the fond hope which he had so tong cherished. This being the first break in the family ties, made it hard to give him up, yet the kindness and love which he had manifested in the rearing of his family justly demands that they bear this for his sake and not he for them.

That he had been blessed with seeing his children all grown to manhood and womanhood made his departure the more easy. He leaves to mourn his demise a dear companion, the six children afore named, nine grandchildren, three brothers: Jack, Norman; Wes and Aylette, both in the West; besides a host of other relatives and dear friends. The funeral services were held at the Liberty church at 3 o'clock by Rev. Baldwin, of Columbus, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near by.
