No business has been as successful the past few years as the farming in­ dustry notwithstanding the high price 3 e twH & a ta& . to his business has failed to make more than the man in any other busi­ ness and it is for this reason land has grown in value and the owner is get­ ting higher rent than ever before. Many farms are rented at $12, the; rente* furnishing the clover seed which is equivalent to $14.. Others are renting from $10 to $12 according to location and general repair o f the farm. Renting land however depends Upon the tenant. Often there more clear money deft for the owne* after three years at $10 than at $12 as some men are much harder on a farm than others. A man ’who takes pride in keeping a farm up should be encouraged hut when the man cares nothing about its: looks it can only be kept up by get­ ting all the rent jyou can and then put it in repair when he leaves.

OBITUARY. .John McDaniel, the only child of John and Lidia McDaniel, was borr\ at' Summer's Point, Va., Feb, 4, 1841. Hero his early life was spent. In 1865 he married Miss Rebecca Shroades, -daughter of William, and Elizabeth Shroades, to which union was born seven children of whom four are living. About 1887 he with his family, moved to this place and with the exception of one year has resided in tihs village. Early in life he be­ came a member of the Methodist church at Summer’s Point and later his membership was transferred to this church of which he has remained a consistent and conscientious mem­ ber. Even tho afflicted with deafness to such a degree that it was almost impossible for him to hear a word of the sermon, yet as long as he was able to go he went, occupying his accus­ tomed seat near the pulpit, and drink­ ing in the spirit of the service even tho he could not catch the words. It was a very great hardship to him, when he felt he could tlo longer at­ tend the, services. “ Faithful in a few things, he has become ruler over many thingB.” During his last ill­ ness, he often asked those who came near, that they would pray that he might go, He knew he had not the strength to get well and he said he wanted to be in Heaven. Last Sun­ day evening he called his daughter, Mrs. Morris to his bedside and told that they couldHomJhe her not to worry. She had done, and they all had, all that they could, and he was praying to die. Monday af­ ternoon, about 1:30 he very quietly passed awav. Mrs. McDaniel preceeded him in death about twenty-one years ago. Surviving him are his four children, William J. McDaniel, Mrs, Anna E. Kennon o f Columbus, John H, of Colfax, 111,, and Mrs, J, R. Morris, with whom he made his home. There ate also a number Of grandchildren and great grandchildren. “ Thou goest they way and I go mine, , Apart, yet not afar; Only a thin veil hangs between the pathways where we arc. God keeps watch ’tween thee and me” , This is my prayer.
