SQSJE IXCIDEWTS OF HER EARLY LIFE Intensent Uiit Tciij it the Vetpirj Water Ceettry. Mrs. Sarah E. Philpot, lining la Mt. Pleasant precinct, died Monday Jan uary 8th, of old age. Sarah E. May was born In White county, Illinois. December 1J, 1822, and was 83 years and 27 days of age. From White county, she moved with her parents, when thirteen years of age, to Davies county, same state. This was soon after the famous Black Hawk Indian war, and there was con siderable trouble with the Indians in that part of the Northwest territory. One peculiar incident she distinctly remembered occurred at a neighbor ing farm; the children were playing "hide and seek," and one of the boys, about twelve years of age, was hiding on the timbers of the chimney, which was at the rear of the house, and very close to the woods; when found the lad was lying on the ground with his scalp lock removed and an ugly wound at the side of his head where he was struck by a tomyhawk; this boy re covered and lived until a few years ago. (J rand ma Philpot underwent all the privations of the pioneers of that part of Illinois. In 1843she was married to Philpot, and to this union eight were born, three of whom survive her, Charles, near Weeping Water; John, at Halsey. and James, at Dundy, all in this state. Grandma Philpot, like her entire family, were highly respected people in Cats county, and her demise will be deplored by the many friends in the community where she lias resided so long. A long and suiTering life is at an end, and may peace be to her. The remains will be interred in the Weeping Water cemetery to-day (Thursday) January 11, at 2:30 p. m. Report of Murray Schools.

Allison-, Primary Teacher. At the Valley Home. The beautiful farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Yallery, live miles north west of Murray, presented a genuine scene of old fashioned pleasure last Thursday, the occasion being the cele brating of Mr. Vallery's fifty-eighth birthday anniversary, being planned, and carried to a most successful and happy end by Mrs. Yallery and her daughters. The many visitors gathered at the home about twelve o'clock, and from that hour to the time of departure the event was a continual round of pleasure for all. Shortly after twelve Mrs. Yallery, assisted by her daugh ters, Missc-4 May and Lou, spread an elegant three-course dinner, which we are willing to wager was the most happy feature of the day. The afternoon was spent in social chat, rossibly recalling and reviewing the earlier days of Cass county, when men of Mr. Yallery's age were boys, the many ups and downs and the bright and dark sides of life. Following were those present: '.. W. Shrader and wife, David Riser and wife, George Rhoden and wife, George Snider and wife, W. T. Richardson and wife, Peter Perry and wife, Frtd Will and wire. Dr. 15. F. IJrendel and wife, Clem Whitehead and wife, C. II. Yallery and wife, Mrs. Mattie Wiles, Mrs. A. S. Will, Mrs. liet Snider. Also all the members of Mr. Yallery's family. At the customary hour, but not until they presented Mr. Yallery a very handsome token of friendship and respect, the merry party disband ed, wishing the honored host and bis estimable family continued happiness and prosperity as the travel down the stream of time. Fifteenth, Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Steve Copenhaver, in a most enjoyable manner celebrated their fifteenth wedding anniversary, at their home, one mile south of town, on New Year's day. A large number of friends and relatives were present, and all seemed to enjoy themselves, especially at the dinner hour when an abundance of all the good things im maginable was spread before them. The following relatives and friends were present: J. A. Walker and wife, Mrs. S. A. Davis, Mrs. Minnie I. Wood, Mrs. J. and C. Faught, F. M. Young and wife, W. II. McDaniel and wife, D. J. Pitman and wife, James Root and wife, II. F. Brendel and wife, J.T.Porter and wife, G. M.Porter and wife, W. S. Smith and wife, L. P.. Underwood and wife, J. W. Edmunds and wife, Mrs. Ida Baker, John Ferris, Elias Daniels, Joe Ferris, John Duman and W. H. M. Robb. The merry visitors presented Mr. and Mrs. Copenhaver with a handsome rocking chair as a token of their friend ship and esteem, and at a late hour departed for home, wishing them many more such happy occasions. Another Surprise. While G. W. Rhoden and wife were attending the surprise gathering at the Yallery home last Thursday, George had great sport with Mr. Yal lery over what a great surprise the occasion was, and no doubt bragging that no such an affair could be carried out at his home without his catching on, and at the same time his wife was then preparing just such an occasion for the following day, and he never dreamed of such a thing, until the merry crowd swarmed in on him the following evening. The celebration was in honor of Mr. Rhoden's forty-ninth birthday, and was certainly complete in every par ticular. At noon an excellent dinner was spread, and the afternoon spent in the ordinary social chat reviewing everything from the earlysixties down to the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoden have one of the finest homes in this part of the county, and when the invitation was received everyone anticipated a grand good time, and above all something out ot the ordin ary to fill the inner man, and we will vouch that they were not disappointed in the least. Following were those present: Charles Troop and wife, Robert Troop and wife, Z. W. Shrader and wife, T. J. Rhoden and wife, Galen Rhoden and wife, J. R. Yallery and wife, D. C. Rhoden and wife, Will Troop and wife, Miss Maggie Connor and Kelly Rhoden, Mrs.Nancy Rhoden, the mother of the Rhoden boys. Mr. Rhoden was presented with a hand some rocking chair by the merry vis itors as a token of their esteem. For Sale.

The friends and relatives have hopes of the young man pulling through without an operation, but as yet they are un able to determine what the results may be. J. T. Porter met with an accident a few days ago that compelled him to take life easy for a short time, that is when he can. He aid a companion had started out for a load of hay, and it being quite cool John decided to get off and walk awhile, and in the at tempt to so do he fell through the hay rack, fracturing one rib and receiving various other bruises. He has not worked very much since. J. W.

Ask Mont Robb if this is true. His Father 115 Years Old.

Mr. Clemmons was born in Jackson county, Ohio, Febru ary 8, 1S14. His grandfather, Zacba riah Clemmons, was a soldier of the revolution under General Washington, with whom he was personally ac quainted, and he lived to be 115 years old. "Mr. Clemmons was a member of the Wisconsin legislature in 1851. While in Nebraska he was on the prohibition ticket for the same posi tion. He was a bartender on the Brownville, a steamboat plying on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, before the temperance question was thought of. He dispensed drinks to James K. Polk and Daniel Webster. Of late years he had been very bitter toward intemper ance. His last years were spent in the culture of flowers and the raising of bees."

LBgjIhirDDinig) Death and Destruction off Property Lightning Rodo Protection off Liffo and Proporty ; phe intelligent mati weighs iocts and acts wisely for his ojvn benefit and for the benefit of those depen dent upon him. It is a fact that there is great danger from lightning. Every thunder storm furnishes additional proof that the risk to life and property is so great that it should be avoided. There are hundreds of deaths an nually from lightning. There are hundreds of barns with all their contents burned by light ning annually. Annually hundreds of residences are burned or destroyed by light ning. , Every year thousands of domes tic animals are killed by lightning. This appalling array of facts shows conclusively the Great Ne cessity for Protection. It is a fact that good Lightning Rods will afford absolute protection from lightning. It is now 156 years since the Lightning Rod was in vented and in all that time it has never been known to fail when pro perly constructed and correctly ap plied. It is a fact that Cole Bros, are the oldest and most reliable house in the Lightning Rod business. Their experience extends over more than half a century of time, in one of the largest businesses in their line. It is a fact that Cole Bros. Frank lin Lightning Rod has been on the market for a longer period of time and has had a larger sale than any Rod ever offered to the people. It is a fact that Cole Bros. Frank lin Lightning Rod never failed to afford complete protection if cor rectly applied, The logic of all these facts, is that- every building should be thoroughly protected with Light ning Rods, and preferably Cole Bros. Franklin Lightning Rods should be used. Their place of business is at Xo. 310 to 320 South Seventh Street, St. Louis. Their Rods are sold by reliable agents throughout the en tire country. We recommend to our readers Cole Bros., believing them to be a most reliable house in their line. We recommend their Rods because investigation has convinced us that they are the best now offered to the ac 3 Pianos at Gall at Fanger's Department Store and See Them We are sure to satisfy you in every particular, and it will only cost you vour time to see them.
