Rev. M. B. Kelly dug his sweet potato crop vesterday and has just telephoned us that he found one pota- to that weighed 61.2 pounds. This, sounds pretty big but as.

he is a preacher we are inclined to take his word for it. George Halloway of California was here last week looking up old friends. His father was a blacksmith here twenty-five years ago and he has not been back for that many years. A few of the old residents recognized him. P.

Brunstetter has purchased the old Locklin Building Dow occupied by Will Knapp as a restaurant. Locklin traded it for land near MeLouth and Mr. Brunstetter gave a cash consideration. We understand that Mr. Knapp has purchased the building of Allie Robinson now occupied by Mr.

Brunstetter. It is quite probable that Mr. Knapp will decide to occupy his own building in about thirty days. ANTHONY COMING As is noted elsewhere in this issue, Prof. Thompson has made arrangements for Congressman Anthony to give his Illustrated Panama lecture here at Nortonville tomorrow, Saturday evening.

at eight o'clock in the city hall. Mr. Anthony has just given his lecture for the Tonganoxie schools and while in Topeka last week Mr. Thompson saw the principal of the Tonganoxie school who recommended the lecture very highly. The public is cordially invited to attend.

Come early to get the full benefit of the pictures and see and hear something interesting about Uncle Sam's big ditch. HUMAN DISCONTENT "I'd like to be a doctor, and cure up human ails and dope up my friends and neighbors. with gutta percha remarked the hardware merchant grown weary of his store, of all the tiresome labors he'd known SO oft before. "I'd like to deal in hardware," the fagged out doctor wails, dish up rusty razors and bolts and boneless nails, for I'm tired of going on journeys night and day; of sawing people's legs off and waiting for my pay." "I'd like to be a banker 11 the downcast farmer cries, "and sit behind a railing and look profoundly wise, and watch my hirelings shovel gold into a bin, and see folks come and grovel for the friendly grin; I'm tired of hearing roosters and herding geese and ducks; I want to be a banker and deal in shining bucks." "I'd like to be a farmer," the sadeyed banker sighs, "and raise big jack o-lanterns and feed on pumpkin pies. I'd like to curry horses and hitch them to a cart; I'd like to jump the town and get next nature's heart.

For I'm tired of money and stocks and bonds and notes, I feign would seek the barnyard and mingle with the Oh, is there any pilgrim who doesn't wail and sob, no matter what his snap is, to find another job? No matter what dame Fortune has generously sent, it is always the winter of human discontent. -Walt Mason. THE PASSING SHOW Hutchinson Times: A Times man stood in the postoffice ten minutes yesterday-one ten minutes--yet in that brief period he saw a panorama of human life. A little woman in in a fad-. ed dress came in.

With eyes glowing with hope, but with, voice quivering as if in fear she inquired for her mail. When the clerk hurriedly glanced through the boxes and shook his head, the little woman turned away slowly, a sigh escaping her lips and tear coursing down her cheek. Perhaps she had been waiting for years for word from a thoughtless girl or 8 wandering boy. An aged man came in. There was no hope in his voice, there was no hope in his eye, no joy in his voice when he asked for his mail.

An expression of wonder spread over his face when an envelope was thrust into his hand. Tearing itopen, his eyes ran rapidly over the lines. A smile played over his face and the of care disappeared from under his eyes. As be went out he spoke kindly to his acquaintance whom' he did not greet when he came in a few minutes before. A well dressed girl, giggling and humming a popular song came in.

The world was all sunsnine to her and every sounn she heard was a pang of joy. A stranger to care, worry and responsibility, she was. More 88 if to pass the time away than with any definite thought she unlocked the door to a mail box. She opened a letter carefully. Behold, a transformation.

There was no more unconcern. That letter had suddenly awakened her from a life of frivolity to a life of responsibility. She went out of the office, she carried an air of dignity and womanliness she had never worn before. Ten minutes in the postofficelaugh and a tear, a fragment of a song and a sob of a broken heart, little waiting and then a hurrying out. The S.

D. B. people were gind to see Rev. and Mra: M. B.

Kelly sufficiently recovered from their accident to be able to attend church last week. Mrs. Kelly displayed a courageous spirit in coming out and Mr. Kelly's lame arm and bruises did not prevent him from delivering one of his usually good sermons. H.

D. Clark who is at the head of the engineering department at the State Agricultural College at Manhattan will be in Nortonville some day next week to confer with 0. W. Bah. suck in regard to some tile draining.

Mr. Babcock is thinking of draining some of the Babcock Davis fart and Mr. Clark will look the proposition over, make estimates and give his opinion as to the advisability the project. He is an expert at this business and is hired at the agricultural college especially for this pur pose.

ECKLES DEAD Just as we go to press word is received of the death yesterday of W. T. Eckles at the Soldiers' Home in Leavenworth where he has been staying the past several months. Mr. Eckles was a brother of our townsman, Robert Eckles and was for many years a respected and honored resident of Nortonville.

He served as postmaster here four years during Harrison's administration, and was one of the early members of the I. 0. O. F. lodge here.

Mr. Eckles was nearly eighty years old and leaves besides two brothers, one daughter, Mrs. Mattie Schrie ber of Frankfort. It is probable that the funeral will be held here. MRS.

S. A. BARNETT DEAD Nortonville people were shocked and saddened beyond expression of words Monday when the message came that Mrs. Marie Zimmerman-Barnett, had died at 2:30 a. 11.

at her home in Clinton, immediately tollowing the birth of a daughter. Marie Mitchell Zimmerman was borne near Bellefonte, Pa, and died at Clinton, Mo. October: 24, 1910. She came with her parents to Nortonville when a small child, residing here until her marriage to Mr. S.

A. Barnett, October 1.9, 1904. The six years of her married life were spent in Cliaton, She leaves a husband, an infant daughter, father, two sisters and a brother to mourn her loss. Funeral services were held from the Brunstetter home Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. S.

M. Hood of Topeka. The profusion of flowers tendered by loving friends were silent attributes of the high esteem in which she was held by friends and associates here in her girlhood home. The deepest syspamthy is extended to the grief stricken husband and family. The following resolutions from the Mary de la Vergne Reading Cinb of Clinton, give evidence that in her new home she was cherished by the same love and kindliness that characterized her life here: WHEREAS, the Divine disposer of events has touched one of our members, Mrs.

S. A. Barnett, and summoned her into "fuller life and love it is fitting that the Mary de la Vergne Reading Club, which she so adorned, should place upon record an appreciation of her many admirable qualities of mind and heart. RESOLVED: That we recognize in our late friend and associate an intelligence unusually bright, and cultured accomplishments of a high order, an uufailing sincerity and courtesy of mind and heart. RESOLVED: That the knowledge of these qualities gained in years of work and study together prepares us to sympathize with those to whom this great loss has come and the tenderest feelings of our hearts go out to them, especially to the husbund and the little one from whom her going away takes that which all time cannot restore.

RDSOLVED; That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of OUr club and sent to the family of our late friend. COMMITTEE: Mrs. C. C. Dickinson, Mrs J.

FRED THOMPSON HONORED It was decided by the High School Superintendents and teachers at the State Association held in Topeka last week that some definitely prescribed system of rules should be codified governing all Inter-high school feld and Oratorical meets.

Clay Bobbitt officiated with the ring ceremony.

The bride was tastefully dressed in a very pretty gown of white organdie trimmed in baby Irish lace. The groom wore the conventional black.
