Obituary.

den in 1859 and came to America in
1800., Both her parents died in 1807 at
Allimakee county, Iowa. She went to

rence Judd, who is still living.

Incidents ol Evtry Day Lll Which Vtry
Few People Stop to Think About on
Account ol Their Littleness
List Sunday's lire at the restaurant
of Win. Benje wns a close call. This
should make many who aro located in
frame bill. dings think of tho jeopardy
they havu to run when they have lino
stocks of goods or fixtures A person
who lias seveial thousand dollars of an
iiiM'stiiicnt in tlxtuies and stock as in
this ease can well ntlordpto pay an ad
ditional rent for a brick building
rather than pay exorbitant lates for
insurance with an additional risk. In
tills iiistuico tlie insurance rate is
$3oa thou-iand un stock and $!!? f0 on
bin. ding The rale on similar located
bruk buildings on the same side of
tlipsticcl uail and SP.' a thousand
Oillie east side of the stieet where
tlieie is practically nothing hut frame
building the rate is $."iO ami ?ii" N )v
in ilei to be safe nud to have the ad
ditional eointort and nice sin niundiugs
of a luiek building it stands to reason
Hint n much better ient.il cuii ho ob
tained There is also the additional
saving of fuel.-We cannot see why
some of our moneyed men do not umko
mi investment in brick buildings -
A number of one .story brick business
houses, built on solid foiiiidntions so
that a second story could be built on
later would be a blessing to tlie town.
They would bo occupied at once and
would pay a good interest dividend
that would be absolutely snfe. When
once anything is .stalled in Bed Cloud
it gets to lie n fad The use of the
bliggS whip to light giieviiiiees has
become a fad. -So far no pietuie.sof
irate women wielding buggy whips
over tlie shotildeis of the woman who
monkeyed with the affections of her
hubby have been pictured from here in
the Police Gazette.--Tin eo deals in
buggy whips aro said to have cut a
central figure lately and tho pneo of
them ought now to advance rapidly.
Of course if the fad is to bo kept up
wo will have to notify tho Gazette and
have them send on an artist to fix the
matter up right. It is daugorous to bo
safe while such modes of warfare ex
ist. Next Wednesday is Fourth of
July and tho small boy will bo happy.
And ot course tho small boy isn't
tho only ono who is going in for a good
time. The young man and his best
girl are milking preparations to go
away from homo even if it is not more
than a dozen miles and put in tho daj
drinking lemonade, red pop and at
dancing. Foiii Hi of July is a day Hint
shows life's other side. You will seo
mixed in tlie mazy dance on this day
the young man dancing witli the young
lady to whom he would not speak the
next day nud the young lady grasping
tlie hand of tlie young mull wlio.se .sal
utation on the morrow she would gieet
with a glance of withering contempt.-
Of course you will see others of both
se.xes who net the lady or gentleman
wherever or in what society they are
thrown and treat each other kindly.
These are the chosen of God's creation.
And after all is said tho high nnd tho
low, the rich and the poor come to tho
common point that six feet of earth
make all men of ono sizo.
Now that thoro is a good prospoot
for crops and all naturo seems bent on
tho making of plenty, it seems to us
would bo a very opportune tinio for
those in arroais to como in and pay
their subscription. As We havo said
beforo it is not the large amount of
each individual who is in arrears, but
taken as a whole it amounts to a large
sum. Take for instance tho fact that
of five hundred delinquents, fifty owo
from two to thrco years, two hundred
owo two years and tho balance or two
hundred and fifty owe ono year. This
collectively makes a large sum. Some
people seem to think that the' should
receive n paper right along without
paying a cent, but they don't stoii to
think that tho publisher lias to bo eter
nally putting up the cash. When you
read this article stop and think if you
aro ono of the many and then do tho
right thing. We'll uot become a bloat
ed bond-holder but in turn we will pay
what wo owo.
