While our sister town, Cassopolls, Is sufferiI. (
SO terribly from the ravages Of diphtheria, sc
much 80 that she has been obliged to Gloss heI
school, we have escaped with but few cases and
only, | think, three deaths. All departments
IN our school having good per cent Of attend
ance. There is but little sickness OF any kind
in the community. Death has stolen IN among
Us from time TO time and talen frem ouI
midst fnend or neighbor. Among those who
have been stricken down by his hand, would
mention Mr.. Thomas True, who died at his
home at Stark's Corners III Silver Creek, on
the 10th of Nov, in the saith year of his age.
Mrs. Caroline McCool died at the residence
OF Mr.. Ja,ob Sturn in tins city, Nov 2lst, in
her 54th year. She was sister Of Mrs. Sturn.
The remains OF Mr.. Solomon Lampson, who
died at St. Charles, ILL.,, Nov. "a, we're brought
here for nterment. MIR. l.. was father OF Mrs.
Elias Jewell, Mrs. A. C. Ellis and Mrs. Aston
OF this city. He was 83 years old.
Miss Emma Smead died at her home, In this
city, on the night OF Tuesday, the I'd INST, OF
quick consumption. Drrng greater part OF
her sickness she was q great sufferer, but bore
it all without a murmer, often hiding the pain
and suffering with cheerfulness. Although
her health had been feeble for some time her
death came suddenly and unexpected to rela-
tives and frieods. Miss S. had been an earnest,
energetic and very successful teacher for
several years. l think she began her work as
teacher in the primary department OF our own
school The most Of her labor, however, WAS
performed in Lebanon, Ohio, and in Perue,
Ind. In the latter place she spent the last
tour years Of her life as . teacher, and during
the last year OF her work there she was in such
poor health as to make it very difficult for her
to perform her duties. 1t is sad indeed to see
one in the prime OF life, and engaged in such
a noble profession, cut down by the hand OF
death. Perhaps she had done AL the work her
Master had for her to do and He called her
home to enjoy the reward lie had in store for
her, for the good use she had made OF the
talent He had gwen her. MISS Smead was
about 81 years of age. She was a niece OF Mr..
Ii. p. Sanger, OF Paw Paw.
Hymen has also been doing his work in our
vicinity. On the 22d OF Nov, Miss Maggie
Kelley OF this place was married to Mr.. Martin
Daley, OF Silver Greek. Tht affair took place
at the Catholic church in this city, Rev. Mr..
Roeper officiating.
On tie Goth of Nov, Elyina Hathaway OF
Lagrange, was married to Mr.. Almanson
JARVIS, OF Hastings, Neb. The officiating gentle
man was Rev. Mr.. Worthington of this city.
Place, the residence Of the brides father, Mr..
Isaac Hathaway, in Lagrange. The grand
mother Of the groom was present IN her Oath
year; she is very smart for lady of her age.
Mrs. Ii. III. Tayler of Wayne, and her dsugh-
ter, were thrown FROM their buggy, few days
ago, and Mrs. L. quite seriously injured. The
daughter was driving, the horse became frigh
tened at the cars and started to run. Mrs. L.
the horse so that he ran into a bank, throwing
them both out. The daughter badly frightened
but not injured. Mrs. L. IL improving az rapid
ly as can be expected.
On Monday the 9Th, Esq. schermerhorn was
full of business, among the important cases we
notice the following: Harvey Parks stole
squash of Adams IL Hopkins, pleaded guilty,
fined $40 and costs, couldn't pay, went to jail
for 90 dave. Douglas Parks stands up for
assault and battery on an old man 10 years OF
age, by the name Of Jacob Gebhard who was
going quietly to his home when Parks, who
was drunk, struck him and feed him to the
ground. Parks pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs or 40 days IN jail. He took the
latter. These are both old offenders, given to
drink, and when drunk, quarrelsome. j. f.
Blackmond pleaded guilty to selling liquor to
minors, and paid therefor $25 and costs-total
1898. Mrs. Elizabeth Gerhard made the
same plea and paid the same price.
We now boast Of an organized Fire Company,
we'll Differed, and We hope 1t may live long and
for we need good Fire Company and
a well organized Fire Department.
The Dowagiae City Lyceum is also thing
Of recent birth. This organization is also ably
differed and, judging from the attendance and
interest Of the last two meetings 1t will live
and be an interesting and profitable place to
spend every Friday evening.
