UNIONTOWN.
We made notice of the death of Mrs
Martha Laisure in former issue. Her fu-
neral took place on Tuesday of last week
Mr.. Hall, of Flushing, acting as funeral
director; Rev. &. ). Hackett conducted
the services. He spoke of the religious
convictions of the deceased, of her mem
bership in the NJ E. Church, and also de
servedly eulogiZed Mrs. ''Sade,' who had
made sacrifice of her own interests and
pleasures in order to care for her mother.
The funeral was most respectable one,
neat dress, neat casket, and flowers
having been provided. Mrs. Laisure was
aged about "A years, and was well known
to the people of the community as a kind,
peaceful, neighborly woman. Her only
child at a distance was Mrs. Long, of
Pennsylvania, who was present previous
to her death and at the funeral.
Among the many pleasant and wei
come visitors to this community are
numbered Mr. Arthur Moore and his
young bride, residents of Round Hill,
Va, where Mr.. NJ. is associated in the
mercantile business with his uncle, Mr..
Harmon Lodge. Mr.. Moore was recent
ly united by marriage to Miss Laura
Nichols, and the happy couple came over
on a brief wedding tour and a visit to
relatives in this locality. They represent
good families, and are social and pleas
ant in their manners, and no doubt will
fully enjoy their visit to Ohio.

constitutes an engine, making it simply
a huge mass of iron, steel and brass. Ma

chinery by an almost imperceptible mo-
ton of the hand, or the eighth turn of
screw.
