--E.C. and Geo. A. MILL came over from Ida Grove last Friday
afternoon to see their father who, it was thought could not
possibly live thru the night.
--Mr. & Mrs. DUNLAP, friends, visit Isaac MILL.
--Uncle Isaac MILL is still alive and is apparently about as last
week. The writer called to see him Tuesday morning when he seemed
in good spirits and glad to see callers. It is only a matter of a
few days, however, when the thread of life will be broken. Mr.
MILL is about eighty four years of age.

--Uncle Isaac MILL had a sinking spell Saturday and it did not
seem possible that he could survive the night, but he rallied and
for the past two or three days has been feeling considerable
better. He has a remarkably strong heart action and it is to this
fact alone that this life is prolonged from day to day.
