The stars, the hills and the sens are old, but, Grandma Towner is not old. '"At evening lime it -.hall be light." and some of the brightness came n her on tier Nuth birthday. There was nulling very remarkable in the fael that Cramlma Towner had a hirlhdav, for -he has bad several of th'-iu. The lirsl one was in grand old Glasgow. Kenluekv. "She was born in obi Kentucky, whieh, you know, was mighty luekv," February 3, 1S.1I. She does not remember very much that happened on that, or three or four following anniversaries, for she was very busy, but this is the first lime she every celebrated the HOth anniversary of her birthday, and some of her friends, finding out about it, thought that it would be a pleasant reminder in the coming days, to have some pretty souvenirs of the occasion. So Ihe beautiful post cards were sent from east and west, north and south, until more than 100 were received by her, who thinks each one "just as pretty as it can be." As she treasures I hem one by one, she will recall the loving hearts that prompted the kind remem brance. This will brighten many of Ihe long, lonely hours, as she sils in her chair, unable to go about, while her daughter with whom she lives, Mrs. Addie Lewis, is busy about her work. Mrs. Lewis had some of Ihe old time neighbors to dinner. Among Iheui were Mrs. Pauline Kausche, who was among the pioneers in 1878, and Mrs. Alice O'Connor, now living w ith her daughter near Pullman. After dinner Mr. Olson ami the Moss family, the evangelist am! singers, who were then holding meetings together with Pastor H. S. Champic and wife, and Miss Vera, came in for a cheery visit. They sang several beautiful songs, and left "Oranduia" feeling that her cup of happiness was full, but in ii lillle while il had lo be packed down, and began to run over as one afler another came in with hearty greelings and good wishes. "Old friends ami new, tried fireinls and true, welcome, wel come, nolo vou." About :i p. in. the pastor of the M. F. church, Itev. A. Monroe, w it h his w il'e and several more, came in. They sang a number of her favorite hymns. Mr. Monroe gave a very i!ilere iug talk ami earnest prayer of I hanksv.iv ing ami parise for find's wonderful goodness, and the lone period of usefulness ami Chris-! I inn serv ice I his aged saint had been permitted to enjoy. Then ( iramlmu Towner talked. Among many good things she said, speaking of the early days, and later ones, was: "I am so glad I started to serve the blessed Lord while I was very young. It pavs to give Cod our very best." She urged that special effort be put forth to bring the young into the watchful care of Ihe church. Several teslitled to the help ami encouragement Cirandma had been to them during Ihe pioneer days of this country. At 1 o'clock Hessie Kuykendall with her "band of sunshine" came in. My Ibis lime Hint cup of hap piness had run over until it tilled the whole room. There were 13 little girl sunshines, who gathered around the chair and sang several songs, their sweet young voices making rich melody in the hearts of all who heard them. Miranda Towner's maiden name was Ashley. On August 2 4, 1818, she was married lo A. C. Towner, in Misouri. with whom she lived more than 50 years, until he was called to his heavenly home about, four years ago. She is the mother of lit children, 15 of whom are slill living. She used to say, "I always did hale lo see an old hen clucking around with one chick en. They always look so lone some." They came lo (larllehl county in the fall of 1878. when they moved to Falling Spring, Since her husband's death she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Addie Lewis. Within a year after he died she had pieced red and while "double Irish chain" bed ituills f,.r children and grand children. "All alike, so one could mil think another was (he pret tiest." July to.

The above appeared in a recent l-sne of the I'omeroy ;Wasll.i Vahiiigtonian. a copy of which was furnished the Journal by Mr. William (iilmour. Mrs. Towner's husband, who died several years ago. was a brother of Mrs. Wil liam (iiliiii'iir. being 2 ears her senior. He will probably be re membered by a number of the very earliest pioneers, being tbe tirst sheriir that Cass county ever had. to which position he was ap pointed in 1 nrr by Franklin Pierce, president of (tie United states. The family lived in Cass county a number of years, and the above wil Ihe read with consider able interest by I hose who knew Cirandma Towner in Ihe earlier lays of her womanhood.

FRONT OF DEPOT Stock Car Gets Off Track and Goes Off to One Side The Train Breaks In Two. An extra freight train, west bound, was wrecked this morning directly in front of the Hurling ton depot. One car, an empty slock car, went off the track and half way down the bank, while the front trucks of the car behind turned sideways on the track. The train was going by at the usual hair-raising speed of the freight trains as they pass the station going west, when the brake beam of one of the cars be came caught in a guard rail. The beam dragged along for nuite a distance and then the wheels went off on the east side of the (rack ami the car broke loose from Hit one in front. It wiis about time for No. Ci, the Deiivcr-Chirnsro Limited, to come through from the west and a large force of men were put to work to clear the track. The wreck caused a large crowd to collect, and they siiw an exhibition of how a rail coml clears wreckage o(T the track by means of an engine. Mv Ihe pulling ami pushing methods an engine can do swift execution. provided the (rack is not torn up. The track was cleared by a few minutes before ) o'clock and bolh passenger trains wen! on lo their destinations, No. f having been delayed about an hour. Many a Suffering Woman Drags herself painfully through her daily tasks, suffering from backache, headache, nervousness, loss of appetite and poor sleep, not knowing her ills are due to kidney and bladder troubles. Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief from pain and misery and a prompt re turn to health and strength. No woman who so suffers can afford to overlook Foley Kidney Pills. For sale by Fricke & Co.
