an uproar yesterday by the announce
ment of the death of Mr. J. B. Smith,

forward man, and always ready to
help the needy. He had been com
planning for some time, but nothing
serious was thought of it. He leaves
widow and several children to
mourn his loss.

The messenger of death invaded
our ranks Feb 26th and took from
among us our young friend Mr.. Al
bert Merchant, aged II years,
month and days. When ones
heart is filled with emotion, while
clouds Of gloom are yet overhead
and shadows Of sorrow are around
us, it is hard to give expression to
our feelings. We, with the rest Of
his friends wept around his bier
He looked so sadly beautiful as he
lay there in bis coffin. The hands
that were gently clasped, and the
bosom that had heaved its last throb,
and the closed eyelids that were
never to open more, and--We wept
there, all of US, for he looked so sad
ly beautiful. He was kind and
obliging, though modest and reserv-
ed. He was loved by all and, in
the future, his bright and cheerful
countenance will be missed, not on
ly by his parents, brother and Sis
tiers, but also by his many friends.
He was truely christian and died
with his faith in Jesus. He has
gone to meet his Savior, gone to
JOIN the angels, gone to the home
prepared for him--Heaven-yet we
deplore his loss, for to know him,
was to love him. The family has
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity and our heart felt condo
lence. X. S. 81 Y. r.

The Whirligig of Time.

Barnesville is now not only openly
advocating, but is really anxious for
a railroad that will bring them a
portion of the coveted Monroe Conn
ty trade. A route has been propos-
ed from the Jerusalem station, and
another from Alledonia. The tables
have been turned and since the bu-
siness interests of GAINESVILLE have
suffered from the construction of
the B. u. & c., it doesn't seem quite
so funny now as it used to, to the
dear people of the sweet town of the
sun-kissed hills. You remember
when the project of building what
is now known as the B. u. & c. was
agitated, it was at first proposed to
make Barnesville one of the object
i've points, but that town drew its
cloak of injured dignity more close
ly together, and actually sneered
and scoffed at the idea. 'Oh, yes;
perhaps you can raise sufficient
money do,rR in Monroe to make a
preliminary survey" said the wise
and sage ho~ wise and sage future
developments have since shown
capitalists OF the town known as
Barnesville. Perhaps you can. -
To them we now say, perhaps We
did, and more, too-we built rail!
road, and still have sufficient mon.
ey dorm in Monroe" to help Barnes
vile on her preliminary survey

Frozen to Death.

From Kansas comes the sad news
of death by freezing of a son of Jno.
Baker, of Franklin township, this
County. Mr. Baker left for the
West some two years ago, and was
hardy, strong man, weighing about
200 pounds. He was West in ex-
pectation of buying land, and was
out on the prairie when the destruc-
tive blizzard of two weeks ago swept
across the open waste of land, car
rying death to everything human
found in it's path. His body was
discovered on the open prairie by
strangers, who learned his identity
from papers and letters addressed
him from Jerles, Monroe County, O.
The body was inferred by sympa-
thetic strangers, and, in the mean
time his friends here were commu-
nicated with. His father left Thurs
day of last week for Kansas, and
will have the remains brought to
Ohio and inferred at the home of
his childhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Baker have
the warmest sympathies extended
to them in their sorrow.
