CEDAR CITY.
AcETlCALLY.

PROF. VIM. Smith, Of Mitchell, Iowa,
made short stay in our city last week.
He was the guest of Mr.. David I. Wat
kins. Mrs. W., wife of David1., returned
to Mitchell with Mr.. Smith for short
visit. ~
BY request the next rehearsal on
Saturday evening Of this week, was
appointed at the residence of ex-senator
Clough. The singers are earnestly, re-

Our enterprising citizens are ever on
the alert for good bargain. As proof of
the above statement, we would like to
mention a trade between Mr.. g. Cox and
Mr.. E. Crosson. Mr.. Cox has rented q
large farm, and of course feels the need
of necessary machinery for cultivating It,
and hearing that: Mr. Cfosson had some
bob. sleighs for which he hadSnp immedi:

ments were made, and both parties seem
to feel that they have made = seasonable
trade, aud we think one of them has, as
the sleighing is usually poor during tho
spring and summer months, between this
place and Grand Meadow.
We are anxious to hear from that
worthy "committee Of three" and know
if we are to show ourselves live people

and determined never to progress? There

EDITOR TRANsCR1PT:-Being reader

upon little article signed bytzC.: F..

to make a new county, with the county.
seat at Spring Valley. While the present
location Of our ccun,y.seat somewhat
discommodes the east side Of the county,
yet it seems that majority OF the voters
hove expressed themselves in favor Of its
remaining where it is, and the question
of issuing bonds to build a Courthouse
being shortly to come before the people
for tn cir adoption or rejection, I for one
think II best to look at things as they are,
rather than to use any hare-brained bum

is whether the tax payers had rather pay

An Old Reaident Gone .

On Monday morning last Mr.. William
Furlong died at his home IN the town of
Window, about four miles east Of this
city. On the 18th inst. he was stricken
by partial paralysis, from the effects Of
which he never recovered. Deceased
was born in the county ofTipperary, Ire.
land, on the 9Th Of January, 1898, and
was consequently 81 years, 2 months and
eighteen days old. When he was about
so years old, he, with his family, came to
America, landing at New York, where
he remained q year. From thence he
went to Pennsylvanla-thence to Galena,
Illinois, and from there to his late home,
where he has resided nearly % years.
MIR. Furlong was one Of those genial men
with whom it is always pleasure to
meet. He brought the exuberance of his
more youthful days down the stream Of
time with him-preserving that peculiar
humor Of his nativity even to the latest
days of his life. He was known as an
honorable man. He had no liberation
for shams, and loved to act out on all
OCCASIONS his cherished principles Of
integrity and he was universally esteemed
for his solid character and upright life.
Born and reared a Catholic, he early
united with the church and has always
been jealous admirer of its doctrines
and rules of faith. He was buried yes.
terday from the Cathedral.
Rev. Father Christie, with the aid of
the church choir, which is very fine
one, conducted the services. The large
house was filed, and as many remained
outside as were seated within. The pro-
cession was the largest that we ever saw.
One hundred and nine teams were in line
loaded with the friends and neighbors of
the deceased, following his remains to
their last resting place. 1t was an i'm.
posing demonstration and spoke eloquent.
ly of the virtues of the silent octogena-
rian, then on his way to the grave. Mr..
Furlong was quiet, unostentatious cit.
izen, kind to all, and beloved by all, and
thus it is, and ever will be. The influence
of a good life exists to honor him who
lived it after the clods have been heaped
upon his coffin, and the grass grown, and
the flowers bloomed above his decay,ng
body. "Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord"
