fective chimneys.......D Damon Martin died on
Monday morning last aged sixty-five years.
The loss to the Methodist church, of which he has
long been an active, prominent member, will be
irreparable. This church sustained similar loss
in the death OF Aaron S. Martin less than two
years ago The peaceful, yes, the triumphant
end OF both these mems lives may well lead
other men to ponder what was best in their lives
and as related to their last hours. Mrs. j. X.

ated at the Methodist church last Sabbath, to the
satisfaction of her hearers. She will lecture on
