When the records of the County

| CLERKS office shall have been looked
over thoroughly by the persons now
engaged thereon, we prophesy that the
Iex-Co. Clerk will be found delinquent
some $500. What with that other
little sum of $4,000 since Mr.. La
vigne's vouchers have turned up, the
aggregate is getting to be interesting.
That new bank must be plethoric, bet
maybe Levi didn't borrow any of that
So, 500.
There is rich man in Grand
Rapids who dries tobacco guilds in an
oven, and then uses the same for smok-
ing purposes. He is bound that moth

is not worthy Of imitation, or we might
advise some of our young spendthrlfts
to try the experiment.-SteU Point

Bro. Swayze, you are wrong again.
Mayor Lunt is not accounted 'srich
man," though he has little laid up
for rainy day. the honest proceeds
from investments in dead hog and cleo
ton "stakes.''
Its simply absud to talk about
woman being qualified to fill every
position in life that men Eli. For
instance: What woman could lounge
all day around the stove in a grocery
and lie about the number OF fishes
she caught last summer?
Some people are quick to see the fit
ness of things. The editor of the
Grand Rapids Tribune insists that
the State Prison ought to be located
at that place, and that same editor
profanely calls upon the Lord to kill
President Grant. If Grant is SO OBJ
noxious to this spltful little creature,
why don't he do the job himself and
not call upon strangers ?-Nea0 Loo

We clip the following from the
Geneva Herald, DR.. Boyce, the subject
of the obituary quoted, was a man Of
note in the southern part of the state,
and especially in, and about Geneva,
where he has resided for nearly quar-
ter of a century respected for his many
Christian virtues. He was brother
of Mrs. Judge Woodwork Of our
city:

Boyce we are again impressed with the
fact that time waits for none, but, with
its certain stroke. sweeps among the
high and low alike.
| DR.. Boyce has for twenty years been
one of Geneva's representative citizens.
His life has proved him successful
physician, and untiring student with
jnatjve taste for truth, kind and OBJ
liging neighbor, an honored represent
tative at times in political life and
man worthy Of universal respect.
The doctor was born in Augusta,
Ontario Co., N. Y, Dec. IA, 1917,
He studied for the profession of medi
cine in Aurora, n. Y, and attended
medical lectures at the Medical Col
lege in Willouehby. Ohio. He COM
menced to practice in Buffalo, N. Y,
at the age of twenty-nine, but the fol-
lowing year he removed to Rochester,
Wis, and from that time has been
more intimately connected with the in
terests of our State. He was married
in 1851, and removed to California
| where he lived till 1854 when he again
came to Wis, and to Geneva in 1886,
Soon after he came here he was chos-
en- as our candidate to the State Leg
Iislature, where his actions were watch
ed and respected. In the fall Of 1862
he entered the army as assistant sur

the army he came back TO Geneva
where he lived up till The time of his
death. The cause. of his death was
consumption.

Fraternity. His loss will be deeply
felt and mourned. His kind and de-

His manner of life was retiring.
Loving to commune with nature, he
gave much of his time to the study OF
geology and its kindred sciences. Few
really understood the Doctor until they
had conversed with him. and then none
failed to know how much we lost at
his death.
