Mrs. RANKIN and her family entertain
the liveliest feelings of gratitude toward
the many friends whose kind offices Mr..
Rankin experienced during his sickness.
She feels that any formal expression of
thanks would inadequately express her
appreciation of the kindness visited upon
MIR. Rankin and his family but the recol-
lection of it ia a solaoe to them in their
affection, and their grief is less poignant
because shared by SO many. No man in
his sickness could be more kindly re-
membered by his friends and no man s
memory could be more highly honored.
The attentions to him in his sickness
seemed to be more than the ministrations
of friendship. They were the offerings
Of affection. The last sad duties were
more than tokens of respect; they were
the p1omptings of hearts which felt pro-
found sorrow. It is a source of comfort
to remember that he was so loved and
that it was manifested in acts of kindness
which can never be repaid and never
forgotten by his family.

THE following little Incident shows
how unselfish was Mr.. Rankin's nature
and how even in his last moments he
could feel concerned for others. He al
ways felt great injustice was done Fitz
John Porter. Senator Spoouer of this
state called to see him on the Friday be-
fore his death. After conversing few
moments Mr.. Rankin said: General
Bragg is going to push this Fitz John
Porter matter. know. John, you have
the courage to do what you think is
right and hope you will act in this mat
ter 30 as to do credit to yourself and
your friends" The Senator replied he
was then making careful examination of
the subject. "Then know, Joe replied,
''that you will do in the matter just what
your conscience Directs" Nothing fur
ther was said on the subject. A higher
tribute could not be paid Mr.. Rankin's
sense of justice and Senator Spooner does
not need to blush at the character given
him by dying man.

THE Manitowoc bar issued call on
Judge ellison to be candidate for re-
election. This formality is more for the
purpose OF showing the bars high ap-
probation of Judge Gilson's judicial
qualities than to make him candidate
as he has no need Of the action of any
body to make him the choice of the peo-
pie. The popularity of Judge Gilson's
popularity is that ne has secured it
through the most rigid adherence to
duty. He has no favorites and his judi
cial independence has in it dssh of
sternness, but his honesty has made him
popular with every one and he needs
neither convention or call to make him .
candidate as he is the choice of every
one. 1t is highly gratifying that the
Judicial election will not have in it sug-
gestion of craftsmanship.

The Wagner Hardware Co.
have made many important
changesin their store by which
they have almost doubled the
large storing capacity they
already possessed. Besides a
complete assortment of Black
smith Iron, Steel, etc., which
they have heretofore kept, they
have now added a very large
and complete stock of wagon
makers goods, viz: woodwork
for wagons, carriages, buggies,
sleighs, etc. Blacksmiths and
wagonmakers will do well to
look over their stock and get
prices.

SAD OCCURRENCE.

The Kewaunee Enterprise Of last week
contains the following: "There 10 pro-
badly no task that has ever been more
painful for us to perform than that of
recording the sore affection which has
befallen Mrs. Jay 8. Johns, newly ar
rived resident of this CITY, by the death
of her bright little boy, aged eight
months, and her beloved husband, which
sad events took place last Friday morn
ing and Saturday evening respectively.
Both died very suddenly. being i'll only
about q week, and OF the same disease
pneumonia. It is only few wseks ago
that We mentioned the arrival in the city
of Mr.. Johns and his family, who as we
stated ut the time, came here from Clark
Mills, Msnitowoo county, with the in
tsntion of making this place their future
home; but no sooner had they become
settled in cozy little home when death
crossed the threshold and took from the
now sorrowing wife her only beloved
child and dearest companion. Mr.. Johns
was formerly resident Of the town OF
Montpelier, this county, where he was
brought up, and was quite well known
in this city and throughout the county.
He was taken sick about week before
his death. His ago was about IS years.
The remains of the departed were borne
to the grave in one coffin and were
buried on Monday in the town Of Mont
pelier, among the scenes where Mr..
johns spent his boyhood days.
''Ths afflicted mother and wife, who is
daughter of Mr.. John Morgan, we'll
TODD citizen of Clark's Mills, has broken
up housekeeping here and will return to
the home of her parents. She has the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com.
munity."

The Chronicle does not take kindly

THE Chronicle does not take kindly to
the descriptive title applied to Two Riv-
ers and makes some unkind remarks
about bachelors. A bachelor il the
noblest work of God. There are no
noble men but bachelors. Sam Tilden
is bachelor; Cleveland is bachelor;
Parnell is bachelor; Chris Clark is a
bachelor. What more does The Chron-
icle want? The author of the Vicar Of
Wakefield was tramp. It is just from
such sources married men draw their
arguments in favor Of married life. A
married man il professional liar. He
is always attending lodge meetings and
he can't enjoy "little fun with the boys"
because Of the fear of the aftermath
He is always telling his wife lies and lives
in constant fesr of his mother-in Jaw.

TEACHERS MEETING,
FORENOON.
AFTERNOON

ST. NAzIANs is one Of the most con-
sentative villages in existence There
is something suggestive Of religious
devotion in it's location, nesting among
the hills as if intent upon shutting out
world in whose affairs it does not
take deep concern. They are not fair
weather christians as severe weather does
not restrain them from assembling for
early worship. Tuesday morning when
the sun had just begun to peep over tho
hills and the murcury had almost totally
Withdrawn within the bulb, these people
could be seen hurrying to church. 1t
takes faith to sustain such devotion, and
that they have in abundance.

IN MEMORIAM.

The following are lines written in th
memory of Mr.. Dennis Buckley of Eas
Morrison, who died January Is. 1886;
Dear church of God thou hast not bid
Cold farewells at the coffin lid
Ger those whom death has won,
Nor deem when soothing words were said
To mourners by the grave and bed,
Thy duty's done.
All, no! ah, no! thy deathless dove
Scars with his parted soul above,
Through deaths dark vale of gloom,
Thy voice of ceaseless requiem,
With earnest pleading follow him
Beyond the tomb.
Thy black-robed priest with lifted hands,
Beside the shrouded altar stands,
Praying the hidden guest,
By power of thine oblation clean,
Lord, give him in thy courts serene,
Eternal rest,
Lo! these the tender bonds that Irvine.
Our sorrow stricken hearts with thine,
20, dearest brother ours"
By angel-reaper found too fair,
To linger in the bightjng air,
0, earthly bower.
Each tender charm and winsome grace,
That made their sweet abiding place,
Their Eden home-with thee,
OF these the mourning ones that weep.
Beside thy grave shall ever keep,
Fond memory.
The spirit pure from worldly guile,
Reflected in thy sunny smile,
And Joyous ringing tone,
Thy generous heart, whose bounty free,
With germs of tenderest sympathy,
With sunlight shine.
These memories of thy graces rare,
Shall come like heavenly visions fair,
Radiant as the sun,
TO fill our hearts with peace divine,
And this in sweet remembrance shine
Our cherished one.'
And they shall prompt thy prayerful thought,
The sigh with potent pleading fraught,
Lord! if there yet remains,
On his poor soul so pure and bright,
To mar its petals perfect white,
One earthly stain,
Oh, may our tear rain wash away
ALI traces of the bighting clay,
And to thy gardens blest,
May they his speedy entrance win,
To find those hlissful fields within,
Eternal rest-Amen. A. NJ.

WHAT is known as the Rapids Road

the bridge at the Rapids having been
carried off last spring. This road was at
one time one of the main highways lead

is wholly local.

necessities that originated law for

from lack of knowledge how to farm are
getting less gross receipts yearly than
the wages of ordinary farm-hands. I"

Smith-plain and to the point.
