An OLD Citizen Gone.

Aftrr long and painful illness, an
old and esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. A..
j. Bump, passed peacefully away at 1880
o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the ad-
vanced age of seventy years. The de-
ceased was born at Meadville, Crawford
county, Pa, March 8, 1918. He wa s
married at Kirkland, o., May 4, 1912,
to Miss Mary +. Milliken, who survives
him. He also leaves a son ana daugh-
ter, Charles G. Bump and Mrs. Mary L.
Patton, of Park City. Utah.
He arrived here with his family in
1852, and followed farming until 1868.
when he was elected city marshal. He
the n resumed farming, which he con-
tinued until prostrated by sickness. Mr..
Bump was what might be called posi-
tive man, believing in no halfway
measure. What he believed he be-
lieved with all the positiveness
of strong nature and acted
ac cordingly. In politics he was
staunch and consistent re-
publican-so strong but conscientious
as to always command the respect of his
opponents. In religion he was II
Spiritualst, and during his-iong suffer-
ing looked forward to what we call
death as stepping into n higher and
broader sphere of usefulness.
In his death loving father, kin d
husband and excellent citizen, friend
and ncighbor has departed. No ar
rangements for the funeral have been
made, but the time will be announced
later.

The HOLIDAYS

Aud the colder winter weather are now
rapidly approaching. The Joyful season
Is eagerly anticipated by young folks in
thousands of homes; but in nearly all
there are one or more older ones to
whom the cold waves and the storms
mean renewed suffering from rheumatic
back or limbs. II is not claimed that
Hoods Sarsaparillh is positive specific
for rheumatism; we doubt if there is or
can be such a remedy. But the remark
able success Hood 3 Sarsaparilla has
had in curing this affection is sufficient
reason for those who are suffering to try
this peculiar medicine.
