UNIONTOWN.

IT is reported that Daniel BransoB.
formerly resident of this town, and q
son of Mr. Samuel BraDsOn, merchant
died recently at his home in Chicago
We have not learned the particulars of
bis death and illness.
We were few days since the recipi.
ent OF q very handsome card announcing
the marriage of Mr. c. s. Matthes and
Miss Susie G. Atkinson, of Dewitt, Iowa
which took place at Albion on the 10th
of August, 1885. Mrs Matthes is a
granddaughter of the late Hon Isaac
Holloway, and daughter of Mrs Anna
Atkinson, who has removed from Iowa
to Flushing. The issuing of the cards
was complete surprise, as the young
people had not made their marriage
known even to brothers and sisters. The
parties are of the highest responsibility
and the matrimonial arrangement a
pleasant and agreeable one to all con-
cerned except to the single blessed men
who are still grieving over the loss OF
80 handsome and intelligent q lady as
Miss Susie Claire Atkinson. Count us
in, Mr.. Editor, as oRe of the wsepers.
Mrs. SUSAN FRATER, who was acci.
dentally wounded by . shot from re-
voiyer, is, we are glad to state, able to
move about with the aid of crutches
Fhe ball is still imbedded in the calf of
the leg, and the doctor thinks it best not
to try to extract it.
W. A. SHARP has at last secured his
postoffice, but as his residence is about a
mile distant from town, and he is engag,
ed in farming, he has established bis
headquarters at the business room of
Mir 7 S Bethel of this place. Mr. Bethel
is bis friend and co-woTker in the cause
of Democracy, and he has been deputized
to represent Mr. Sharp and transact bu-
siness in his name. The office pays the
the P. NJ. about $50 year. and the peo>
Eple were paralyzed with joy when they
learned recently from the columns of
the local paper that it was a Presidsn-
tisl Office.
MRS. A. A. FERGUSON, of Oakdafs,
will be welcome as a patron of the
The CHRONICLE, as she il lady Of in+
Itelligence, and appreciates good reading.
We send her subscription to>day. Mr.
and Mrs Ferguson own one of the ni+
cest and best conducted farms in the
valley, and their success is largely due
to their liberal dealing and patronage OF
the press both as regards religious. ag+
ricultural and secular newspapers.
We regret to announce the serious ILL
ness of Mr. Joseph Thompson, of this
vicinity; Mr. Thompson is one of the
leading men 10 religious. social and bu-
siness circles, and all his friends trust
that his illness may be of short duration.
THE township ticket nominated by
the Republicans is good one, and eve
ry Republican voter in the township
should attend the election on Monday,
and vote and work for its success. The
Democrats were almost defeated last
fall, and little extra effort may enable
Us to gain complete victory.
