Much complaint is being made
about garden “sass.” In early sum
mer the prospect was excellent for an
abundant and fine crop of all kinds of
garden truck—radishes, lettuce, on
ions, peas, beans, potatoes., sweetcorn,
etcetera. The warm weather with so
much moisture accelerated the growth
of such vegetation to the detriment
of ripening—engendered a too great
growth of stalk or vine and when the
extreme heat came it stopped all
growth and we have a scarcity of such
provender and what we get la of poor
quality. Peas and beans are no good.
Sweetcorn is little good and potatoes
are small with few In a hill but are a
good price—ll.oo a bushel.
DIED.
Knight-At. tiie state hospital at
Mendota. Wis, Sunday morning.
July 28, 1901, Judson Kr ight, aged
71 years.
—The deceased was born at Malone,
N. Y., June 19, 1830. He came west
and settled in this vicinity about 1856.
His father, Norman Knight, was a
local preacher of the Methodist Epis
copal church and preached for some
time at Hammond, St. Croix county.
Mr. Knight was a carpenter and
worked at his trade in this locality be
fore going to farming. Later he pur
chased land in Clifton and opened a
farm which had been tiie residence of
himself and family since. In 1882 Mr.
Knight married Miss Lucy W. Bland
of St. Louis, Mo., who, witli four of
the five children born to them, sur
vives. He leaves also of near relatives
two sisters, Mrs. C. L. Drake of St
Lcuis, Mo., now here on a visit, and
Mrs. S. P. Clark of Clifton. His only
brother, Charles A. Knight, died in
1874. On tiie twelfth of March last
tiie deceased suffered a serious injury
to his head occasioned by a fall.
Since that time his mind nad
been deranged and he rapidly
failed in health. As Mr. Knight was
growing worse his friends concluded
that it was best to place him under
the care of experts, and he was ac
cordingly taken to Mendota about
three weeks ago.
Mr. Knight was a man of unobtrus
ive disposition, honorable and just in
Ids dealings, a considerate neighbor,
a kind and indulgent husband and
father. His remains were brought
here Monday on the noon train, the
funeral was held from the Methodist
church at five o’clock In the after
noon, Rev. T. J. Snodgrass officiating,
and they were burled in Greenwood
cemetery beside those of ids parents
who died, the mother in 1884, at the
age of 82, and the fattier in 1886, at
the age of 81.

Kay’s illness dates back a number of
years. Since three years ago she lias

Carroll until after her marriage to
Mr. McKay June 10, 1849. They
moved to Trumubll county, Ohio,
She kept up her teaching for a while
after her marriage. Her husband

to River Falls, Wis., where Mr. Mc-
Kay continued farming. That was
Mrs. McKay’s home until two years
ago, when she came to Galesburg,
where she could haye the personal at
tention of her daughter. Mr. McKay
sold out his property in Wisconsin and
joined her here this spring.
Mrs. McKay was a sincere Christian
