Mr A L Funk: The statement made
by R Tawncy in regard to one Mr Fer

do the muting is false. 1 do not want
people to be lying at my expense. The
Esterly did as good cutting as any ma

cutting than he rould do in time, so I
got the Buckeye to finish. Yours truly,

any machine in this country before.
Even some of the most ardent admir

take the Esterly. I have sold nearly
fifty Esterly binders this year worth

were dearer to her than life itself. She

short week before tho final coming of
the Angel of Death, and then pawed
quietly away amidst the sorrowing of
her beareaved husband, parents and
friends while yet in the bloom of life,
her age being only twenty -four year,
her little son having proceeded her to
the land of blias about one year ago.
She was united in Marriage to Mr.
Will II. Smith, about three year ago
with the brightest prospect for a long
and happy life. Her bereaved hua

sympathy of the community in this
their deepest atHiction.
