Died. at the residence of Gilbert Hudson
in this village, on Tuesday morning, of
typhoid fever, George A. Briggs. oldest SON
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Briggs. Mr.. Briggs
was little over twenty-nine years old at his
death. and was one of our most highly es-
teemed young business men. He was born
in this village and this has been his home
during his whole life, excepting few years
of his boyhood which were spent on a farm
i'll Arlington. He graduated from the Paw
Paw High School in 1869 and the following
fall entered the freshman class of the nj
versity, and from that institution he grad
uated in 1875 with high honors. being among
the most thorough students of his class.
Upon his return 10 Paw Paw he was engaged
as principal of the Union School for one
year. The following summer he sailed for
Europe, visiting many of the leading places
III France, lily and Germany. spending
much of his time in the latter country. study
ing its language and pursuing some of the
higher branches of an education. the oppor-
tunity for which the institutions of that
country furnished, returning home after an
absence of thirteen months. He was then
engaged as principal of the school here, hut
his health failing, he gave up the school and
engaged i'll the mercantile business with
Chas. Hudson at Marcellus. On the 22d of
June, 1880, he was married to Lizzie. only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert HuCisolr
Shortly after his marriage. which proved a
very happy union, he returned To Paw Paw
and went into his fathers Office to assist him
in his large and increasing business. Last
spring he was elected Recorder of the village
board which, we believe. was the only politi-
cal position he ever sought or held. Mr..
Briggs was highly respected for his noble,
manly virtues and strict integrity, and in
his death this community has lost young
man who bade fair 10 take prominent part
in its business interests.
His funeral took place from his fathers
residence, on Thursday afternoon, and was
attended by large circle of friends. The
funeral exercises We're conducted by Rev. II.
w. Harvey, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. of which Mr.. Briggs was an active
member, assisted by Rev. G. j.. Cole pastor
of the Methodist church. His early death
will be mourned by many besides his kindred,
and his family has the sympathy of this en-
! tire community.

are lenses and that the tails are merely
the effects of the suns rays shining

contention is upset by the fact that with
some comets the tails are turned toward

every conceivable angle with our central
