 prehensive, freely illustrated catalogue of veg- 

 etable, field and flower seeds; ninety-six pages

Jamestown, O. — H. C. Fenker recently 

 made an unusual design for the funeral 

 of the first soldier who died from Sil- 

 ver Creek township. It was a service 

 flag in regulation colors, with gold star. 

 The design, on an easel, was more than 

 four feet wide and more than six feet 

 high. In addition to attracting much 

 attention at the funeral, the design 

 gained Mr. Fenker a nice notice in the 

 local paper.
