WE MADE BRIEF MENTION of the death
of Balaam Nichols in our last commu-
nication. His funeral. under the charge
of b. r. Johnston, took place on Tues
day morning. Rev. r. G. Campbell had
religious service at the house, and made
a brief address to those present, and al
so to the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased. No expense was spared in the
last honors to the dead. A splendid bu-
rial casket was prepared and all was
done that could be done as token of re-
gard for the one that has gone. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. Calvin Pol
lock, VIM. Dunbar, Joseph Bell, Thos.
Lodge, James Ritchey and Abner Lodge.
The body was inferred at the st. Glars
vile Cemetery. Mr.. Nichols was high
lily esteemed us an honest, honorable cit
izen and kind and hospitable man in
all his relations with his fellow men.
He was firm in advocating principle
which he espoused as just and right
was successful business man, and one
who shrunk from notoriety. Many a kind
and generous act was done in secret, and
he had the good will of those who knew
him. For thirty years he resided in
Wheeling township ON the farm where
his death occurred. The people of this
community are sad to know that he is
gone from among them, and they do now
tender to those afflicted ones to whom
he was very dear and tender, their SYM
pathy for them in their time of sorrow.

the husbandmen smile at the fine, fresh

is that eighteen colored teachers have
passed satisfactorily, vindicating their
