made that it will soon attain the value of ma
hogany. If its costlincss induces return TO
the use of other kinds of woods our rooms will

nut has become SO much the fashion that il is
difficult to lind in the shops any furniture made
of other material. The more solid and hand

man of great physical strength, and moral
worth; was never known to tell an untruth, to

brought sunshine and happiness to those around
him. He was called at the early age of twenty
five years. John was perhaps the eldest citizen
in the vicinity, who was born and raised in the
community, being almost 81 years old. He was
born on the Lawrence farm. He learned the
wagon-maker's trade in Mt. Pleasant. Was
married to Susan Colvin in I846, since which
time he has been highly respected citizen of
