At a meeting of th'e'Parmer's Grange in this city on the 3rd iW, it was cauB ually mentioned that the following Monday (5th) Mrs. D. W. JonesTVould be 83 years of age. At once arrange ments were made by the members present to make the day memorable to that worthy lady. And eo on Monday morning membere of the Grange and their families to the number of seventy, went to the home of Mrs. Jones and spent the day with her. Of course she was greatly surprised, as no intimation of the visit had been given her, but was nevertheless well pleased and gave them a hearty welcome. The day was pas sed in social intercourse, a sumptous repast blng served at noon. Before their departure the visitors presented their hostess with a handsome and costly silk hand bag as a reminder of the oc casion. Mrs. Jones, whose*maiden name was Margaret Davis, was born in South Wales, January 5,1820, and was mar ried to the late D. W. Jones on Septem ber 27th, 1812, and in the Bpring of the following year they emigrated to tbis country locating first in X'ennsylvana, later In Ohio, and in 1851 came to this county, and located on the tract of land in this township on which Mrs. Jones now resides. Mrs. JoneB has ever since the organ ization of the Jones Will Grange, taken a deep interest, and has been an active member in the work of the order, and Btill doeB so. Though past fourscore years of age ber physical health is good and her mental faculties are un impaired, and that many more years of health, pleasure and comfort may be enjoyed by her, is the Bincere wish of all who know her.

G. PiEitCB, Agent.' The Commoner, The Commoner, Mr. Bryan's paper, will be especially interesting and in structive during the present session of congress. The action of this congresB will probably determine the issues upon which the next presidential campaign will be fought. The Commoner pro poses to carry on a campaign of educa tion and organization to the end that democratic principles may triumph. In addition to the editorial depart ment, which receives Mr. Bryan's per sonal attention. The Commoner con tains a Current Tepio department, wherein a non-partisBn discussion of topics of timely interest and other valu able information will be found. The Home department is conducted by an experienced woman who is widely known as a writer of household topics and who is an authority on the art of cooking in all that the term implies. ThiB department alone is worth the subscription price. The other depart ments of the paper are ail interesting and ably conducted, among which is a summary of the world's newB told in narrative style, and Mr. Maupin's de partment—Whether Common or Not— contains original anecdotes and wit. moral lessons in homely phrase and verse, aud appeals to old and young alike. The Commoner as a whole is clean, entertaining and instructive, and its rapid increase In circulation—now amounting to 140,000—is proof of the paper's strength and influence. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Bryan whereby The Commoner can be supplied at a very low rate with the Manchester Democrat both papers for one year for 82.15. This offer applies to both new and renewal subscriptions, and should be taken advantage of with out delay.
