little more than two short years ago this
young couple Joined hand and heart in
matrimonial bonds, and began the jour
ney of life together. The future looked
bright to them, and the many years of
enjoyment seemed to becken them onward
TO epj"y their blessings. But again is pro.
we'd that "ln the midst of life we are in
DEATH" and this young husband is called
TO part with his chosen companion for life.
The mother and babe have found rest in
the same grave in lakewood cemetery.
The funeral, which was held in the Con-
gregational church, was one ot the largest

Lii men Peddler," by the members of the

Tickets tor sale at the post~office. Ou
home talent has always given satisfaction

tation will not suffer in presenting tn
present plays.
