Obituary Thomas LeHew.
DIED : At his residence inDelphos , Ohio , Jan.
8th , 1891 , Thomas LeHew , aged 91 years , 5
months , 21 days.
Deceased was the father of J.S.LeHew , Esq. ,
of this city. He was born of French parents
at Frontroyal , Va. . July 17. 1799. In 1805 his
parents emigrated to the new state ot Ohio and
settled at Muskiugum Falls , now known as
Janesville , Ohio. In 1820 he married Catherine
Fletcher , who bore him twelve children. The
death of his good wife 'only separated them
after 66 years of wedded life. The children
all lived and were married before death visi
ted that household. Seven of them were boys ,
flve of whom served in the union army during
the war of the rebellion , their aggregate ser
vice was more than 15 years. He voted the
democratic ticket until after the breaking out
of tbe war , when he voted for Abraham Lin
coln and has continued to vote the republican
ticket. The citizens of Delpnos will long re-
member Father LeHew , who in pleasant
weather , to within a few months of his death
could be seen upon the streets of that city ,
staff in hand , giving to each passing acquaint
ance a kindly word of recognition. Life to
him was a joyous reality. There was naught
of bitterness in bis nature. Ho was in love
( with tbe world and at peace with bis fellow
men. His was a kindly , gentle spirit , living
beyond the fulness of its yearsr when the
reaper came it was not death to him.
BANKSVILLE BUDGET.
It looks now as if the farmers ought to start
the "ghost dance. " as it seems that the Indians
got sympathy and rations that way while the
farmers here are much left to their own re
sources and the drought got the resources.
Don't forget to keep agitating the broom
factory scheme. The country about McCook
can raise broom corn and brooms are as staple
as sugar and will always keep until sold and
the whole country uses brooms and there is
no reason to keep McCook from having as
good a broom factory as any town in tbe state.
The farmers can furnish the broom corn.
Our fine weather has got a snub , ana 'the
change started about the 7th inst. , being so
fogy all day as to shut off the view except a
few rods , and at evening snow commenced
falling , and the 8th was a stormy day , and tbe
9th when the storm ceased the snow was
about one foot on the level. At this writing ,
tbe 12th , tbe snow is much drifted and travel
is blocked except on horseback. Saturday ,
C. S. White , mail carrier for Banksville. took
the mail via Vailton to McCook and had to
lay over at Vailton and arrived at Banksville
about noon. OBSERVER.
A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping
paper , but it saved her life. She was in tbe
last stages of consumption , told by physicians
that she was incurable and could live only a
short time ; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece of wrapping pacer she
read of Dr. King's New Discovery , and got a
sample bottle ; it helped her , she bought a
largo bottle , it helped her more , bought
another and grew better fast , continued its
use and is now strong , healtby. rosy , plump ,
weighing 140 pounds. For fuller particulars
send stamp to W. H. Cole , druggist. Fort
Smith. Trial bottles of this wonderful discov
ery free at A. McMillan's drug store. 34.
