OBITUARY
MRS. MARY BLACKMER.
The aged Mrs. Mary Blackmer
passed to her eternal rest at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Martin of this city, last Thursday,
at the age of 86 years, 8 months and
18 days, after an illness of 16 days,
the cause of death being old age.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Mary Hair, was born at Ayr
shire, Scotland,' Jan. 8, 1826. Her
early youth was spent on a farm,
moving later to the village of Cat
rine in Ayrshire. She was married
in 1849 to John Buchan, who died
in 1874. She later married Louis
Blackmer whom she also survived.
She came with her first husband to
Norwood, Canada, in 1853 and to
Melrose, Minn., in 1870. She is sur
vived by three daughters—Mrs. H.
McLees, Orleans, Minn. Mrs. F. M.
Connelly, Sauk Center, Minn., and
Mrs. J. H. Martin, all of whom were
present at the funeral. A sister,
Mrs. Richard Orr, of Melrose, also
survives her. There are seven grand
children and three erreat grandchild
ren to mourn the death of their good
old grandmother.
The funeral occurred last Satur
day. Services were conducted at
Willmar by Rev. McHenry of At
water. There was a profusion of
flowers. The interment took place
in Oakside cemetery in Harrison
township.
ELIAS OLSON.
Ehas Olson died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Emberland, in the
township of Do\re, last Thursday,
Sept. 26th. He was born Norway,
December 24, 1849. He had but re
cently come from Norway to make
hi* home with his children here and
had been in poor health for several
ears.
The funeral occurred Sunday, ser
vices being held at the home at two
p. m., and at the Green Lake church
at three p. m., Rev. T. Jacobs of Spi
cer officiating.
District Court Next Week.
The grand iury meets next Monday
afternoon. The parties who were
bound over at Willmar for grand
larceny pleaded guilty before Judge
Qvale Thursday, were sentenced and
paroled for one year. There is no
other business to come before the
grand ]ury, unless something should
turn up not publicly known as yet.
The petit jury meets Tuesday.
Theie is one cnminal case on the
calendar, but that will probably be
dismissed. There are eleven cases
on the civil calendar none of which
is expected to become of much in
terest.
The prospects are gooa for a very
bnef term, which will suit the farm
er jurymen very well, if this fine
weather continues.
Corn Acre Yield Contest.
Estimates are now being taken on
the acres of corn entered in the Corn
Growers' Association acre yield con
test.
The yields are running remarkably
well, several acres going better than
100 bushels to the acre husked
weight. The coin will be kept until
diy enough to crib when it will again
be weighed and the shrinkage deter
mined.
Any farmer who has good corn
should enter it in the acre yield con
test so that the averasre yield may
be secuied on a large number of
farms. All who wish to enter the
contest should notify C. L. McNelly,
Secretary of the County Corn Grow
ers' Association.
Theft at Pennock.
A weary Willie who gives his name
as Phillip La Paint broke through a
window at Anton Peterson's meat
market at Pennock early Tuesday
morning and helped himself to two
old rev olvers, 7 rings of bologna sau
sage and 35 pennies. He was dis
covered in a box car where he was
calmly putting himself outside of the
sausage. Sheriff Bonde was called
and brot the man in, to Willmar. He
plead guilty before Judge Muller who
gave him 35 days in the county jail.
It was apparently a plain case of
hunger, and the prisoner will now
fare better perhaps at Hotel Bonde
than eating sausages in a cold box
car.
Will Sing at Svea.
The Willmar Glee Club will give a
concert at the Svea school house on
the evening of Friday, October 11.

Save the Seed Corn.
On account of the wet season
much corn is immature and practic
ally unfit for seed this year.
This means that there will be a
good demand for home grown seed
corn again next spring.
By this time most of the seed corn
should be well along in the drv:ns
stage, however corn had better be
picked now than not at all. It will
be impossible to select the earliest
maturing ears* but the chances are
that all corn thoroly mature was not
injured by the frost. Such corn
should be picked and stored at once.
Only the medium-sized well-filled and
mature ears should be saved. This
should be stored in a dry ventilated
place. It is best not to store seed
out of doors where it will be exposed
to the weather. Seed corn should
be thoroly dry before freezing weath
er comes on.
Some farmers have so far neglect
ed to properly pick and store seed
corn even after the experience of last
year.
