Carnival affairs are progressing at a

from parties wishing concessions, all

question of selection the committee has

attractions wanting to come here
There is nothing of a definite character

and you will find the coming Loup City

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Life of Grandma Moon.
I could nevej settle it in my mind
why Ohio was singled out among states
to be the birthplace of so many who
might be termed “the salt of the earth.’’
1 have space but to chronicle tjie fact
in passing, if you hail from Ohio, you
may be able to explaiu the phenomenon.
And by the way, the Almighty must
have meant the Smith family to b*
among the elect, for he made so many
of them.
This member of the world wide
family, Mary b. Smith, was born near
New irk, Ohm, April 18th, 18.'0 Liter
her parents removed to Marion county,
and the period of her youth was passed
on a larm 18 miles from Sandusky.
She has a vivid remembrance of the
quilting bees, apple cuttirgs, spelling
and singing schools, sleigh and horse
back rides, that helped to make the
round of country pleasures sixty ye <r*
ago. Weaving, spinning, making butter
and cheese were among the daily
occupations.
becoming ambitious to earn some
money for herself, she taught the
neighborhood school, drawing a sal try
of S6 per month, th** maximum pri**e
paid nt th.it time
In 1841 she was married to Gideon
Moon, who afterward' became an
ordained minister of the Freebaptisr
church, and was pastor of the Union
church in big Allen Township, Marion
countv, Ohio, for 30 years: sometimes
composing his sermons a.% he followed
the plow down the long furrows or
while engaged in the various avocations
of farm work Nine children were
horn iu this home and Mother Moon’s
strong face lights up as she descrilies
the positions of honor and trust her
sons have filled since becoming citizens
of the world. Home keeping beans
aie happiest, and she lives but in her
children
Mother Moon has been a wide reader,
and has a good singing voice even now
She does finished needlework and
exquisite darning and 1 fancy she in
clines to the motto ot the German
Empress, that the “kinder, kirehe and
kueche" are enough to absorb the time
and strength of the average woman.
However that may lie. I could but l*e
impressed with my aged friend’s out
look cm the world and things of the
world.
Often with pessimistic inflection, we
inquire, “This life, what is it all when
all is done?"’ And answer it ourselves
with “grains of sombre or shining sand,
gliding into or out of the hand.” Hat
the subject of this little sketch would
consider it a gross physical sin to allow
her interest and physical tone to so fail
as to tamely admit “that life was not
worth the living.” I presume it must
be her abiding faith in the ultimate
hope, her belief that she is a part of the
“Great Plan,” which lifts her above the
weakness, and accounts in part for her
longevity. Yet her health has always
been good, above the ayerage anyway.
She has lived actively, takes an interest
in what makes for the world's better
ment. Its all a point of view, you
know. To grow old gracefully is habit,
not art.
She has made her home for the last
five years wi h her daughter, Mrs. S. S.
Hover, and enjoyed her stay with the
good people of Loup City very happily.
Eighty five years young. A good
enough record.
She will be sadly missed among the
coterie of aged mothers who gather at
the tea parties in the village, when she
goes with her children to the Southland,
but in their thought they will always
hail her‘‘friend.’’
Some lines from a stray poem keep
forcing themselves to mind, and I quote
them ks a finale to what has gone before:
The old- time places, faces, books,
Are an enchanted crowd'
They stand apart with loving looks.
With fairy grace endowed.
The memories of bygone years
We scarce can bear to tell,
Or think of them without swift tears—
We loved them all so well.
