Her husband and daughter both arrived from Iowa, a week or two before her death. The services were conducted at the house of Mr. Pierce, the Rev. J. G. Campbell officiating. Mr. Eager and daughter have the sympathy of their many friends in this place. Mrs. Pinkham returned Thursday from a rather lengthy visit to Kimball. The voters at the election Saturday decided to give the name of Franklin to this township, in honor of Mr. Louis Franklin. K. S. Starkey has gone to the Red River country on a business trip. A petition is being circulated asking for the removal of Starkey P. O. from its present location on section 31, to the house of W. P. Pierce, just two miles north. This change will bring it on the daily mail line. Next Sabbath, at 2 p. m. the Rev. J. G. Campbell will hold services at the house of Mrs. Williams. All are cordially invited to attend.
