THE LAST SAD RITES.
There is no death What seems SO is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysiap,
Whose portal we call deatil.''
Rev. DIR. E. K. Miller delivered
a very impressive funeral Grafton
over the body of James Galloway
at the Promenade Street M. E.
Church, South, Saturday morning.
Scores of friends and relatives of
the man whose death is so deeply
mourned attended the service, and
at it's close pressed forward to take
last look at the calm face of their
dead friend. The remains were
encased in a dark, rich casket
which was half smothered with
flowers. The restful features of
the dead denoted that his de-
mise had been as peaceful as is al
ways that of one whose life is a
life of purity. Besides the splen-
did address by the pastor of the
church, Rev. DIR. John D. Vincil,
the noted st. Louis divine who
formerly lived in Mexico, deliver
ed a beautiful and impressive pane
gyric. The service was a long one
and the hour was nearly noon
when the long cortege moved to-
ward the cemetery in which the re-
mains of James Galloway found
their last resting place.
The altar at the church was
heavily draped and a large number
of beautiful floral openings rested
by the easket. Among the notable
pieces were the following: A
broken wheel of beautiful white
roses, from Mrs. Lamme, of Mon
tana; from the grandchildren, a
handsome pillow of white flowers
with "Grandpa" worked across
the center; gates ajar, from the
