NEW YORK, January l3.-R. q. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review OF trade. say
With perhaps little more than the
usual dulness for the first half OF January.
business still progresses without monetary
pressure, or unusual embarrassment from
the failure of collections III sny port OF the
country. While failures at some points
are numerous the aggregate is less than
for the corresponding week last year nj
complaint of collections is much less ire
frequent than 3 month ago. Within 80 or
60 days payments on large fall purchases
will be required, and some increase in fail
ures would not be surprising, for the
shriukage in business toward the end OF
last year indicated that there had been
over-COrfdcnt buying in such departments.
But the new year opens with less emhar-
rassment from that or other causes than
was reasonably apprehended.
Speculative markets are generally dull,
which is not a bad symptom Tor legitimate
trade Industries are somewhat disturbed
by strikes and by legislative or bnSlneS-
uncertainties. ShortnesS OF supply ana
high prices disturb manufactures at many
points, and II may prove unfortunate Iof

The unusual prosperity of cotton manu-

higher wages for spinners, which threaten
to end in a serious strike. At the present

The Death of Mrs. Charboneau.

1t is with sadness Of heart that we
note the death of one of Centralia' S
fsirest daughters in the person of Mrs.
Elmire Jessie Charboneau NEE Corri-
yeau 4 youEg woman who was loved
by all those who had the pleasure of
her acquaintance. We had reason to
know her intimately as she was a play
mate and schoolmate of ours when we
attended school in that city as children
She possessed the attributes which go
toward making almost q perfect girl,
woman and mother. Enemies were
unknown to her, such she never had
Friends were only compassed by the
extent of her acquaintance in the
community. Her place can never be
filed more acceptably and perfect IN
her own home, at the family homestead
or in the community in which she lived
She was known to be quite lover of
her home and gave all her efforts
towards beautifying that place which
she admired most-home.
Her sickness was Of short duration.
She was taken sick on Monday the 18th
and gradually grew worse until death
relieved her suffering on Friday after
noon following att O'Clock Her trouble
was that of the heart.
Mrs. Charboneau was born in Centra-
liza May 1st. 1862, and was therefore 26
years, 6 months and % days old when
she died. She was married to Mr. L.
A. Charboneau February 14th. 1881.
This union was blessed with a son who
IS now six years of age, and with her
husband are left to mourn her early
and sudden departure.
The funeral services took place at the
Catholic Church in this city Tuesday
morning. That large edifce was
crowded with adniring friends of the
deceased. The floral decorations were
few but choice. A Gate ajar" and
two crosses" with several beautiful
boquets constituted. the list. They were
costly and elegantly prepared. ; They
were symbolicaI of the life Of the one
in whose honor they were given.
