WIN. S. JONES, residing on the farm
opposite BrynziOn Baptist Church, near
Kenton, is building for himself large,
attractive, and comfortable farm resi-
dence. The front building is S8x18
feet and the back building 34x16 feet,
| the house containing eleven rooms.
! The front has an "a finish, and its
elevated position makes it one of the |
most attractive residences of a thrifty |
neighbOrhoOd.
CHAs. w. SIsCO, while cunning for |
Snipe down the Neck the past summer |
shot a large and handsome bird known |
in Florida, its native place, as the Pur-
pie Gallinule. 1t is the first of the |
species ever known in this section.
Mr.. S., has had it mounted by a taxi
dermist, and in its glass case in J. w.
Denney's window where it has been
placed for short time, attracts consid-
cradle attention.
The young men of this town and
vicinity are most cordially invited to
avail themselves of the privilege of the
Temperance Reading Room. AS the
cool weather and long evenings are ap-
preaching, we want they should feel
free to spend their leisure hours there.
Literature will be found on the shelves,
E and hope in the near future to be able
, to add books and make the room more
attractive. 1t will be open from in
the morning until 10 at night. All are
invited. SEC'Y.
THE death of Mrs. NJ. A. Cummins,
noted elsewhere, leaves Col. Geo. H.
Raymond the sole survivor of nine
children born to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
: Raymond, six of whom died in infancy.
l. OF the three surviving children to mature
r, life, the eldest, Miss Susan II. Raymond,
died ten years ago, the death of Mrs.
~ Cummins last week, out side of his own
I, family of wife and two sons leaving
- him no relatives other than her two
> children. He feels very keenly the
loneliness of his position as the sole
a representative of his fathers family
10 and misses more than he can tell the
y loss of his sister, between whom there
ut was a strong bond of affection.
