Mr. Robert Wilson Jr., of Hastings
state traveling agent for The Brad
street Mercantile Ageney, was in town
last week on matters connected with
his farming interests hore.
Mr. Wilson owns a farm in Walnut
oreek township south of Inavale, on
which there was something less than
sixty acres of spring and winter wheat
that produced 1468 bushels, or an
averago of 24 bushels per aore.
One piece of winter wheat measur
ing 11 acres, 130 rods, produced the
nominal yield of C54 bushels that
weighed out G4 pounds to the bushel,
an average of ovor 55 bushols to tho
ere, verified measures and weights.
Mr. Wilson was bo well pleased with
tho resnlts of this year's farming that
e putchased anothor 100 acres ad
iaiiinc aid in necrntiitin fnrnthnr
land there. . '
He has, given the winter wheat
question a study for several years aud
jMlieves that the land of Webster
eouaty is peculiarly adapted to the
"profitable growth of that cereal.
Mr. Wilson's lands aro farmed by
Mr, Joaephus'llosencrans, who is well
known as a successful farmer.

sorrowing the denarturo of a true and
dovottid father. Nono but those who
sineerely cherish end revcro the name
of father realize tho meaning of the
"vacant chair" which tho angol of
death has caused by claiming tho
loved one of whom it ean truly bo said
no entertained lova and charitable
feelings toward his fellow-men, and in
aeatn mere was that look upon his
face which clearly portrayed the
"peace which passoth all understand
ing," and that he was at rest with his
Savior. He had for many years bocn
a consistent nnd respected member
of tho Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, whom ho requested, a short
timo ere his death, to officiate at his
funoral, which they did with touching
corcmony, aided by Bev. Chapin of
tho M. h. ohureh. A large concourse
of friends followed bis romains to
their last resting place, on Thursday,
Dee. 8, '02. Words of sympathy and
oondolanco wcro freely extonded to
tho bereaved family, who so tenderly
cared for their father.
Tho ladies and comrades of tho G.

After supper, tho company presented
Mr. Huffman with tho gold rooogoi
tion pin of the order. Comrade Hull
man accepted tho pin remarking: "It
chows tho esteem in which I am held
by you, yet 1 cannot suo what I have
dono that you should thus romombcr
me, Many thanks to you for your
kindness." Shortly after tho remarks
mado by Mr. Huffman wero endod, the
ladies band appeared on tho Bccno and
rendered two very boautiful pieces of
musio. Mr. Huffman desires to state
that the young ladies undoubtedly
have had a fino instructor, for thn tnn.

extends an invitation to tho guests
and band to call again.
