Death Of Mrs. G. III. Barber.

On Saturday last the sad intelligen ce
was received of the death of Mrs. Marsh
Barber, of Crookston, Mimi. Her
friends here have received no particu-
lars of her illness. On Friday tele-
gram was received announcing her
serious illness, followed quickly by
others saying that her physicians had
given up hope of her recovery. And
on Saturday morning there came a
message announcing her death Sell
dom has death created such genuine
sorrow and universal sympathy. Only
two months ago she was married to Mr..
Barber in Crookston, and at Christmas
time they visited Lancaster on their
wedding journey. Although coming
among us perfect stranger, in her
short stay here she won many warm
friends who mourn with unfeigned
sorrow her untimely death.
Loving, beautiful, a prime fayorlte
among her young friends. possessed Of
many christian and womanly virtues
with particularly lovely and unselfish
disposition, just entering upon a life full
OF promise, we can but mutely wonder
at this dispensation of Providence. We
cannot realize that we shall never hear
her CHEEKY voice nor see her sweet face
again.
Ia such time as this the force of the
loving admonition For in the hour
when We thing not the Son of Man
cometh' : comes home to us and impress
ses more strongly upon US the need of
preparation for the future, that this
sure and certain hope of life to come
which was hers, may be ours.
True it is that Deaths face seems stern and cold,
hen nc Is sent to summon those we love,
But an GODS angels come to MS disguised:
=
| IT'S hard at first TO seeit all Alright:
Ia vain Faith blows her trump to summon back
Her scattered troop Yet through the clouded
glass
or Of. our own bitter tears we learn to look
1 Undazzled on the Kindness of Gods face:
Earth Is too dark, and Heaven alone shines
through.
!
70 me- az least her going hence hath given
Sefener thoughts and nearer TO the skies
And opened Il new fountain in my heart
FOR thee, my friend and all and o, if Death
/ More near approaches meditates and clasps
Even now some dearer, more reluctant hand
God strengthen thou my faith, that may see
nat I Is thine angel who, with loving haste,
Unto the service Of the inner shrine,
4 Doth awaken thy beloved with a kiss
/ ONE or HER LANCASTER FRIENDS.

4 Man with a History.

The following interesting bit of biog-
raphy was handed US and as few men
in the county are better known than its
subject we gladly give it room.
Thomas Watson of Clifton has been Il
Justice Of the peace when he serves
the present term, continuously for So
years. He has married 1872 couples. In
some cases the mother first afterward
the daughter. In other cases he has
married the same woman twice and
also the same man twice where they
have became widows and widowers. To
the best Of his knowledge only three Of
the above number were divorced.
Several Of them who were very poor
when married would now be considered
wealthy. One woman which he mar
ried is now a widow in Dakota and is
the mother of twelve healthy living
children. He also served as chairman
of his town twelve years continuously
and assessor seven years. He has been
Il school officer 36 years Was a del
egate to the first Republican convention
that elected delegates to the National
convention that reneminated j. c. Ere
mont for president Has never failed
to vote since that time. He enlisted in
the 47th Wis Vol. when it was mustered
into theU S. service and stayed with
them till they were mustered out His
friends insisted on his running
for county treasurer, and he would have
received the nomination in 1888 but he
declined in favor of James Woodhouse
one-legged soldier. He was imam
imously nominated for member Of the
Legislature in 1873 but was defeated
together with G. c. Washburn for gov
ernor and the whole Republican ticket.
Tom says he hopes candidates for office
in future will give him a rest He wants
the younger men to take hold as he has
got lame and old in the service. He has
been a subscriber to the Grant Co HER
AID 81 years and for the Grant Co Wit
ness since it was started.
