The selection of a trustee is one of the most important problems we have to deal with, and should be looked at from an educational standpoint. Mrs. H. S. Lott has been painting and repairing her store building for the Golden Rule store, which will be moved to that location the fore part of July.

Mr. Ort Miles has made a flying trip home from Clear Creek. The citizens who have loved ones laid away in the cemetery would do well to go and look after their'graves, as at the present writing there are many of the graves sunk by the water getting near them, and the gophers have burrowed great holes in the graves of many in a mist shameful manner. There should be something done to capture or destroy the little pests, and protect the spot of ground we hold so dear. Our Choir Leader, Mr. Edward Cox, is doing considerable practicing of late for the "Fourth", and also for the next quarterly conference that will be held t Orangeville. He has extended an invitation in-vitation to all to join him. He should be encouraged as much as possible with a good turnout. Mr. Wm.

LAWRENCE Sister Elizabeth Staker, who departed depart-ed this life recently, was born at Whit-bay, Whit-bay, upper Canada. She was brought by her parents, who had joined the church, to the State of Missouri, there to become a little pioneer in the Mormon Mor-mon emigration to the wild west. She with her parents were driven from their home, crossing the Missouri river amo.ig floating ice blocks. The boat was upturned, up-turned, but they were safely dragged to shore, where they stood shivering, cold, clad in scanty clothing there to wade through snow whither they would in the month of December. Sister Elizabeth was among the first in the march of 1846; was in camp when the "Mormon" Battalion left for Mexico, and walked barefooted, when but nine years old, the greater part of the way across the plains. Having arrived in Salt Lake valley wichthe firstcompany, she suffered untold privations in the fall and winter of 1847; Pulling weeds and segoes while herding cows the next spring, that she might sustain life. She was married to Alma Staker in 1856, and has born to them nine children. child-ren. She has thirty-five grand children child-ren and twenty-five great grand children. child-ren. Funeral services were held on the 14th of this month, in the ward meeting house. Many came to show their friendship to Mrs. Staker. The speakers speak-ers were, Orange Seely and James Wilcox Wil-cox of Castledale, and Mrs. Mary Young Wilcox of Mt. Pleasant who is a sister to Mrs. Staker. All spoke of the firmness of their departed sister. Mrs. Martha E. Miller, Hettie Johnson, John-son, Elnora Fillmore and Elizabeth Day; Messrs. Alma Stacker Jr., and Ether Staker, the surviving children, were all present at the services. We sympathize with all the bereaved. TRIBUTE A grand old lady has left us, And possibly few were greater; We know her reward is in heaven, For a heroine in truth, was Grandma Staker. Though scorned and scoffed at sneer-ingly. sneer-ingly. She stood firm in belief of her Creator; Watched and prayed, and worked unceasingly. un-ceasingly. That's the sort of woman lived Grandma Staker. Now that her days are ended here, And she has gone to dwell with her Maker; Rejoice and be glad to Know, The habitation of Grandma Staker.
