The Nasons had kind of q family

ton in that line. The installation Of
officers took place before supper at their
own hall. We will give list Of officers

dulged in supper, in which themselves
and wives and few friends took part.
It is dangerous to eat 80 much, espec-
tally at this time of the year.
The second entertainment given by
the Sons of Veterans on Monday even
ing was better than that of Saturday
evening; the variety being greater and
the acting improved. The song which
greeted the audience at the opening,
"vevO the 8. of VS." composed and
sung by the club was very creditable to
them. The recitation Of Miss Tillie
Gall, "The Woman's Complaint Against
Tobacco juice" and Miss Efiie Petrie's
"Do Something" a temperance plea,
were both gems of merit, highly appre-
ciated by the audience. Miss Petrie is
one of the best amateur speakers of
Portsmouth. The receipts of the first
evening were $27.32 and on Monday
evening something over SIG.
On Thursday Of Last week the body of

keepsie, N. Y. and Miss Grace Gillian.
The remains, enclosed in q beautiful
ebony casket, were carried to the resi-
Of T. J. McKeehan, the former home Of
Mr.. Amen, where the greater part of
his life was spent. There, surrounded
by family and friends, it repos-
ed for short time and was then carried
by the pall.bearers (old friends and
neighbors) to the NJ. E. Church, where
the Rev. Campbell, of South Salem, the
friend and pastor Of Mr.. Amen, made
some appropriate remarks, paying just
and fitting tribute to the aged man.
Many present were willing with Rev.
Campbell to place "crown upon the
venerable brow because found in the
way of righteousness" After . farewell
look at the familiar features that looked
most natural and life-like, he was follow
cd to the old cemetery and inferred by
his wife. Mr.. Amen was SO years Of
age and was i'll but Q few days with
pneumonia. He was we'll known and
esteemed by many in this community.
