William
his home
Anderson Kile died at
in Sugarloaf township
last Friday at 10 o'clock at night,

ing the farm, and Anderson, as he

Kile, and a brother of the late John
W. Kile. In politics he was a
staunch Democrat, and attended the

We do not know a paper that
has more warm friends than the
Farm Journal. John L. Shawver,
of Bellefontaine, Ohio, writing the
other dav, said of it : "I becan
reading Farm Journal at the same
time I began farming. It aided us
in paying off the mortgage, in
building a dwelling, in planning a
barn, in caring for the stock, in
rearing our children, and in short,
I like it because it is the essence of
agricultural knowledge within a
nutshell. The busy man's encyclo
pedia. Long may it flourish." We
will send Farm Journal for the bal
ance of 1899 and all of 1900, 1901,
1902 and 1903, over four years,
to any and every one who will pay
up at once a year's subscription to
the Columbian in advance, and to
all 'new subscribers.
