Funeral of F. M. Young, Sr.
One of the largest funerals held
in Murray for many a day was
that of F. M. Young, sr., on Wed
nesday afternoon, August 9. The
services were held at the Chris
tian church, conducted by Rev.
Williams, the church of which Mr.
Young has been a member lor
many years. The services were
held between the hours of 2 and 3,
at which time the business houses
of the mourning little city of Mur
ray were all closed to give all an
opportunity of attending the last
sad rites of a beloved citizen of
their midst. F. M. Young was a
man who had lived near Murray
for the past fifty years or more,
all of which time had been devoted
to the upbuilding of the com
munity and his home. The com
munity was made better by having
such a man as this in their midst,
profiled by his teachings, and will
be greatly missed by all. Of late
years be has lived in Murray, and
while he has not been in good
health for some time, he has been
kind and loving, by which method
he has gained the everlasting
friendship of all. The remains
were carefully laid to their last
resting place in the Young
cemetery, east of Murray, a large
concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives attending the serv
ices at tho cemetery. The pall
bearers were: A. L. Daker, Oscar
Gapen, Henry Creamer, Major
Hall, Colonel Jenkins and Colonel
Seybolt. Thus the closing chap
ter of a noble life is ended, and all
that remains is the many good
deeds and kindnesses shown his
fellowmcn through all his long
and useful career, and the aching
hearts can only be soothed by the
accumulation of life's ever-chang
ing events, with the hope that they
will some day meet this grand old
man in a land more fairer than
this.
Prejudice.
A person forming a prejudice
against something and refusing
to consider arguments and even
facts, is a fanatic. A prejudice
never proved anything, never
helped anybody; it keeps a man
blind. The most common
prejudice is against proprietary
medicines manufactured in large
quantities. It is, in some in
stances, justilled, but in certain
cases most unjust. Take, for ex
ample, Triner's American Elixir
of Hitter Wine. Lay aside your
prejudice and convince yourself
that this preparation consists of
pure red wine, fully matured, and
of selected herbs, the use of which
you might suggest yourself to a
friend suffering from a stomach
or intestinal trouble. You will
find that it is very valuable in
constipation, dull and sick head
ache, in rheumatic and neuralgic
attacks, in backache, in colicky
pains in the abdomen, in disturb
ances of the digestion and in
cramps. Your prejudice will
vanish. Al drug stores. Jos.

6,000 Bushels of Apples.
What do you think of one Cass
county man having 6,000 bushels
of apples this season? This
seems like pretty much apples,
but that is the amount that the
champion apple raiser, Frank
Moore, expects to have this sea
son. We are informed that con
tractors have already tried to deal
w ith Mr. Moore for the harvest of
the large crop, but up to the pres
ent time bo has not closed. He
may place them on the market
himself.
Pitman A Davis, the genial
hardware merchants of Murray,
have secured the contract for
putting a new and modern heat
ing plant in the large Woolsey
residence at Wyoming. The work
has already commenced on tho
excavation. Mr. Woolsey knows
where to get the right kind of
work.
