YOUR local paper tells yon where to go to church, to county, circuit and probate court, and nearly everywhere else you want to go. It tells you who is dead, married, sick, hurt, and many things you like to hear. It calls your attention to all public enterprises; advocates good schools, law and order in your town and county. It rejoices with you in prosper­ ity and sympathizes with you in distress. It records the marriage of your daughter, the success of your son and the illness of your wife, free of charge. It booms your town, builds up your business whether you patronize it or not. It sets forth the attractionc and advantages of the village and invites immigration and is always the first to welcome newcomers. This is not half it does tor its home people.--Ex. The Star of BetUshma Never shone on a Christmas season when the world rejoiced more than it will rejoice this Christmas. Barring a few discontented and badly treated Indians, the country is at peace and enjoys a prosperity that even such a strain as the late general election cannot disturb Canse for joy may be abundantly found in this condition, and it is full of joy for you we hope.

Mrs, Sheldon was oti£0 a resident of this town: DIED--Thursday morning Den. 9th, 890, Mrs. John Sheldon, aged 72yeans* rs. Sheldon nee Roeanna Hawley, was born at Rome, Oneida county, N. Y. June 17th, 1818, joined the Baptist church in 1836, and married J oho Sheldon in 1840. They moved to McHenry county, 111., in 1854, to Marshall county, Iowa, in 1867. and to this county in 1882. She was a faithful Christian, a devoted mother and a loving wife. Her death was caused by a shock of lightning re­ ceived August loth, 1890. She gradually grew worse until Wednesday morning Dec. 10th, when she passed away, Fun eral services were conducted at her late residence in Firesteel, Thursday at 11 a. m., by Rev. C. R. Waters. The immense assemblage of friends and neighbors could not get into the house. Deceased leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss--three having already preceded her to the better land. We extend condolence to the afflicted rela­ tives and friends. Mr. John Sheldon accompanied the remains to Vina ceme­ tery, Marshall county, Iowa, leaving on yesterday morning's passenger.

I have put up 150 tons of the heaviest clover hay I ever cu+, and my lake has not riftgpwfl once, whereas before'using the attach­ ment it used to dog very often and occa­ sionally break out some of t he stationary chains.

It out the win- row from the unrated hay, leaving no scattering whatever. My rake is a new Tiger & Hollingsworfcb 1 bought, new this summer aud with this attachment it can't he beat. I would not use a rake nosvpithout this attachment. T Yours Truly, HOMER CLEMENS, I* tlfWf? tttrrtted for Mr. Clemens this se won and put gp hay after his raking aud I think that attachment on his rake saves from one-fourth to one-third the tiros in putting up hay.

This certifies that we have seen the rake attachment work and consider-it the finest thing ever put in a hay Add, as it leaves a perfect winrow which can be put into cocks in one-half the timerequir- ed by the old way, without the attach­ ment. Then a rake mast last longer as in dumping the rake does not go down, with such force. Also the cleaners are a big advantage, as it has got to clean all out the rake in dumping.
