UNION REVIVAL MEETING AT OPERA HOUSE IN HINTON
Last Sunday was the third of the revival meetings held under the leadership of the churches at Hinton. It proved a great day for the meetings, crowded houses assembled at the morning and evening services and in the afternoon a fine congregation. Many signs of blessings followed the preaching of the word, numbers likely acknowledged their discipleship and desire to crown Christ, King, in life and home and community. It was a great occasion and Christianity reached a high mark in church life.
The meetings are being continued during this week, closing next Sunday the 19th with all day services and a closing rally of the churches. All Christians are urged to cooperate in making this the greatest day of the meetings. A hearty welcome is extended to all dwellers in this community. ---Hinton Ministerial Association

CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. E. E. Jones Dies After A Long Illness
Mrs. Eva L. Jones, wife of E. E. Jones, passed away at her home on Cedar
street, Wednesday morning, September 23, after twelve months of intense
suffering, caused by cancer of the face. When overtaken by illness, her
case was pronounced hopeless by physicians it being in an advanced age
and beyond medical aid.
Eva L. Jones was born in Burlington, Mich., on March 11, 1855. After
the death of her father, who died fighting for his country in the Civil
War, with her mother and brother, she came to Buffalo Grove, where she
grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage with Edgar E. Jones on
Nov. 11, 1874. Six children were born to them, all of whom with their
father mourn the loss of a loving mother and wife. The children are
Mrs. L. L. Jones and Homer E. Jones, of LeMars, Mrs. ?. H. Lemon, of
LeMars, Mrs. Ben Clagg, of Ft. Dodge, Mrs. J. C. Hoover, of Denver,
Colo., and Bernard Jones of Madison, Wis. She also leaves one sister,
Mrs. John Decker, of New Hampton, Iowa, and two brothers, Martin L.
Lewis, of Braddock, N. D., and Arba J. Lewis, of Manchester, Iowa.
Mrs. Jones was a devoted wife and mother, a homemaker in the truest
sense of the word, never failing to make any sacrifice for the comfort
and welfare of her family. She tried to be a Christian example for her
children and because of this she was rejoiced by seeing them all unite
with the church of which she was a member. She was of a quiet, retiring
nature and was very seldom seen away from her home, but her many friends
who were more intimate with her, learned to love her because of her
refined and gentle manner and kind disposition. Mrs. Jones has been a
devote and faithful member of the First Baptist church of this city for
over twenty five years and was always deeply interested in all the
activities of the church. She took special interest in the missionary
work of the church and was one of the Charter members of the Mission
Circle, and served as its treasurer for several years. In her spare
moments during the last year before her health failed her she made and
sold tatting which amounted to $100 and this she gave to missionary
work. She bore her suffering with perfect resignation and wonderful
patience, and was always grateful for the ministrations of her family
and friends. She was tenderly nursed by her own family, which was her
wish, and everything was done for her comfort during her long illness.
She met the coming of the end with hope and faith.
