Yick's Floral Guide.

Vick's Floral Guide for 1886, the pio-
neer seed annual of America, comes to
us this year a real gem, not a dry list of
hard botanical names, but over
thirty pages of reading matter,
among which are articles on
roses, house plants, cheap greenhouse,
onion culture, mushrooms, manures,
young gardeners, and very interesting
reading, followed by about 50pages,
containing illustrations, descriptions
OF seemingly everything the heart could
desire in the line of seeds, plants, bulbs,
potatoes, etc. 1t is mystery how this
firm can afford to publish, and really
give away, this beautiful work OF nearly
30 pages of finest paper. with hundreds
O illustrations and two fine colored
plates, all enclosed in an elegant cover.
Any one desiring goods in this line can
not do better than send ten cents for
the Floral Guide to James Wick, seeds
man, Rochester, New York. Deduct
the ten cents from first order sent for
seeds.

The Knights of Labor in Logan

The Knights of Labor in Logan
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Doubtless the numerous friends and
fellow-workmen of the Knights Of La
Dor who have not already learned OF
the demise of our friend and brother
Charles Robertson, will peruse the fol-
lowing with anxiety and interest, which
shows the manner in which the sacred
services were conducted, it being the
first sacred rite of the kind observed
under the auspices of the *. OF l.: OF
Logan, in conjunction with number
from Eagle Rock. Masters Workman
Merrifeld, of Eagle Rock, and Jas.
the day. Charles Robertson was resi-
the last two years he has been en-
ployed by the Union Pacific Rail
road Company at Eagle Rock,
at which place he was taken
suddenly sick with that dreaded
disease pneumonia, and on January
18th, 1886, he departed this life. He
was member of the Knights of Labor
at Eagle Rock, and much to the credit
of the members Of that assembly, he
was treated by them in manner-pre-
vious to and after his death-that can
not but receive the hearty commenda-
ton of all. His remains were brought
to Logan for interment by his family
and delegation of twelve members of
the Knights OF Labor of Eagle Rock.
The funeral services were held at the
Episcopal Chapel at 10 o'clock am. on
January 18th. at 9 o'clock I'm. the
members of the knights of Labor
of Logan, and the delegation from
Eagle Rock met at the Logan Hall and
formed a procession, which proceeded
from there to the chapel. The chapel
was capacious, but not sufficiently so
to accommodate all the friends of the
deceased. The funeral services were
conducted by the Right Rev. P. Med.
Blocker. whose remarks teemed with
suitable advice and consolation to the
mourners and family of deceased.
After the services the remains were
taken to the cemetery, followed by
twenty-five vehicles. conveying rela-
tives to the city of dead. After brief
services at the grave by the Right Rev.
P. Med. Blocker, a number of the
Knights of Labor sang a most
beautiful and appropriate hymn,
alter which the body was lower to It's
final resting place.
This concluded the sacred rites per-
formed for our late friend and brother,
Charles Robertson.
l might with consistency say a word
in behalf of the "Ohve Branch of the
Knights of Labor" of Logan. After
having taken an active part in caring
for our dead, they gave a dinner at the
Logan House in honor of the delegation
from Eagle Rock. Invitations were e1-
tended TO a few non-members, among
whom were Rev. P. McD. Blocker and
Joseph 6. Bywater, foreman of the U p.
Shops at Logan. After dinner all re-
paired to the K of L. Lodge rooms,
where were rendered songs and recita-
tons sacred to the occasion, after which
all repaired to their homes. There was
nothing to mar the solemnity of the &C.
casion and all passed off in a commend
able manner.
