CHRISTMAS AT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH.

A very interesting program was exc
cuted at this church Friday evening last.
A new departure was taken from the
stereotyped Christmas tree, in that a
beautiful snow-house that glistened I'M
der the gas light, as Though it were real
snow, had been built on the platform.
This was the rendezvous of Santa Claus
In front and on either side was stationed
tree decorated and laden with Christ
mas fruit, while all around was ever
green in imitation of winter home in
a forest. The preliminary exercises con-
sisted of remarks by the pastor, E. o.
Taylor, solos, duets, recitations and
songs by the school land some well-render-
ed quartettes by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Vinegar, Mrs. Alfred Curtiss and Mr..
Samuel Reynolds, with Miss Jennie
Blinn as organist. The school was we'll
represented and many of the parents and
friends of the school were also present,
Mr.. H. G. Dodge, Superintendent, pre-
sided we'll. At the close OF the prelimin-
airy exercises, while Mr.. Frank Wine
gar was singing Somebody's Coming"
Santa Claus, in the person of Mr.. Lewis
Utter, put in an appearance with bugle
and bells, coming all the way from
Greenland just on purpose to make the
children of the Baptist Sunday school
glad" Then came baskets of toys of
every description, candies, fruit, ETC.,
which were quickly distributed by four
little "Kriss Kringles," to the great
merriment and satisfaction of the chill
dren. The school is taking on new life.

OBITUARY.
Sioux CITY, Iowa, Dec.

Sioux CITY, Iowa, Dec. 81, 1886.
All who knew Charles Maynard in
Kenosha and adjoining counties will be
panied to learn of his death, which oc-
Cured in this city, Dec. is, after short
illness.
He ha6 been somewhat unwell for
several days, but was supposed to be
getting better, and past all danger. But
having several patients who require his
attention, and over-estimating his own
strength, he ventured out N1uring
stormy weather and contracted a severe
cold. which resulted in pneumonia.
His father and mother were immediate
ly notified, and they came at once from
THEN home in Salem, and did all that
kind hearts and loving hands could do
in caring for him to the last.
He was thirty years of age was born
in Salem, where he spent the years of
his boyhood, respected and loved by all.
He taught school for several years, be-
ing Principal of the schools at Union
Grove, Racine county, and Genoa, Wal
worth county, at different times. He
then completed thorough course in
medicine by or duating at the Hahne-
mann Medical College, Chicago, last
March, among the best in class of over
two hundred. Coming west in April, he
settled in this city, and became the BUSH
ness partner of DIR. H. N. Marvin, one of
the leading physicians of this place.
He had at the time of his death an
unusually large practice for a young
man, and was meeting with the best OF
success in his profession. All who en-
ployed him spoke in the highest terms
of his skill as physician. His kind,
genial manner, and warm, sympathetic
nature gained for him many friends in
his new home.
Though we may mourn that young
man with such bright future before
thim should be taken'in the morning Of
life, and his work brought so premature
" to an end, vet let US hope that it is al
for the best and let us be glad that mem.
DRY has nothing to recall in the life o.
Charles Maynard but upright, noble
manly actions and though his life was
short, it was well spent in doing his bes
for himself and his fellow-man.
i His parents have lost noble, loving
son his profession one of its mos
promising members, and this city ont
its best citizens. B.
