A successful hunting party from
this place visited Rappahannock

game and the sport attendant upon
securing it. The party, composed
of Messrs. Geo. t. Light, F. j. Man

FIagg, succeeded in bagging nearly
one hundred and fifty cartridges, and
brought home with them one of the
largest and finest strings of birds ever
seen in our town. They report hay

At 10 O'Clock this morning, at her

At 10 O'Clock this morning, at her
home on Michigan street, occurred
the death of Miss Fannie G. Hunter.
She had been suffering for long
time past, and although no means of
assistance was left untried, the ruth
less hand of death could not he
stayed. The end came, and, with
the loss of brother and son still
fresh upon their minds, the blow to
the family is one peculiarly and pain
fully sad. '' Miss Fannie,'' as she
was known, was born in Martins
burg, W. Va, in 1860, and she came
to Adrian with her parents in 1864.
She has ever since resided here, and
her cheerful disposition and many
amiabIe and noble qualities have left
a large circle of friends to mourn for
her. Her short life was not misspent,
and her end was calm and peaceful as
sleep.-Adridm (Michigan) Times.
The young lady whose death is
above mentioned is daughter of
Capt. John G. Hunter, who for sew
eral years was employed in the Free
Press Office and was a member of
The Old Family" household; the
mother daughter of the late Gervis
Gardner of this town. The afflicted
parents have our sincere sympathy
but their consolation must come from
above.-Free Press.
