GOING BACK ON HIS FEED usually means that a horse is out of condition or the feed is not to his liking. You can trust a horse’s instinct for good every time and he never goes back on the kind we sell if he is in good health. IN FACT, many stockowners have noticed a great improvement in their stock from the time they commenced to buy their food from us. The animals know it is all right and they cannot be deceived. Don’t make your horse sick by forcing him to eat any but the best hay and grain. S. E. Coons. BB. |

Mr. and Mrs. Coons lived on a farm near Bucklin until the first of this month when they moved to Bucklin where they expected to spend a few years of their life in leisure, after so many years of toil on the farm.

Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Coons, five of whom are living.
His many friends sympathize with the widow and children of the man who at the time when he expected to enjoy the fruits of his labor, was called from them.
The funeral services were held at the M. E. church yesterday at 3 p.m. and the remains consigned to rest in the Bucklin cemetery. BB.
