Eighty Third Birthday Anniversary.
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.

Post and Corps.
Wednesday evening, January 7, Man
chester Corps No. 29 met In joint ses
sion with the Post, having been invited
to meet them, to install the officers elect
of both orders for 1903.
Quite Bn appreciative audience of in
vited guests witnessed with us the cere
mony which was very impressive and
most ably performed.
Past Commander George Commer

Eliza J. W. Tirrlll of W. A. Morse W.
11. C. was the installing officer for the

The colorbearers and flag salute area
beautiful addition to the floor work.
Certainly an inspiration to patriotism.
Wednesday proved to be a bleak wintry
day with mercury hovering around zero
but most of our members braved the
elements and seemed well repaid tor the
eifort, for we were welcomed BO heartily
and entertained so royally by the PoBt
that the evening passed all too quickly,
and the refreshments that our comrades
prepared for us were good enough for a
king.
The Post and Corps are in harmony
and meet occasionally in joint meetings
where old and young participate in
social enjoyment. We have not been
forgetful of the needs of the dependent
ones in our midst for they have been
made glad by needed relief or soothed
if In Borrow by beautiful flowers, ex
presslons of love more eloquent than
words.
Our PaBt Patriotic Instructor, MrB,
It W. Fishel, waB on hand with a short
program from the Corps, and a number
of the old comrades spoke feelingly.
Take It all together it was an evening
well spent and one long to be remem

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. All orders Bhould he sent to
the oflice of the Manchester Democrat.
