tlemany which sad event occurred at
his residence in Morcer's Bottom, on
Tuesday, the 25th of April. Mr.. N.
was an early settler Of this county,
and was universally beloved and re-
spoct6d BY his neighbOrs, and had
MANY warm personal friends through
out the county. He has been suf-
ierer for several years, with pain
full disease, but bore his suilerings
with that Roman frmness, so char
acteristic of the man. Mr.. Neale was
one of the brightest Free Masons our
county afforded, and the last sad rites
were celebrated by them. On the
9th of April the steamer LdeIld was
chartered by the Masonic Lodge Of
this place, and the members went in
body to the residence of Mr. Neale,
and from there his remains were
conveyed to Bruce Chapel, and after
appropriate and feeling remarks,
made by the Reys. yaught and Hill,
all that was mortal of one Of our best
citizens was consigned to its last
resting place in the rural church
yard, contiguous to the church. In
the death of Mr.. Neale, the county
has lost good citizen, the Masonic
Order bright member, the Grange
one of its most active and enthusi-
astic supporters, his family its most
valued friend, and his neighborhood
will long feel his loss, most deeply.
At the ripe age of 6S years, he obey
ed the summons of the "Angel Of
Death" and soothed and sustained by
an unfaltcring trust, he approached
his grave, like one who wrapped the
drapery of his couch around him,
and lies down to pleasant dreams"

same time savingmoncy. They have
learned the fact, that better bargains
can be had in our little city than
anywhere else, This is true of our
grocery mon, our hardware mcrch-
ants, our druggists, our boot and shoe
dealers and all of our shopkeepers.
