MYRTLE 3. Dikeman.

Myrtle b. Dikeman, the subject of this
sketch and the younger daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Frederick Dikeman of Elmwood
district. Bethel, was a general favOrite
with all who knew her and especially
with her associates and those who knew
her best. She was taken suddenly and
seriously i'll on Tuesday night, the 22d
ult. Her father left her in the morning
in apparent health, his business for the
dap calling him away; when he returned
ut night found her symptoms alarming
and a physician was sent for in haste.
But the most skillful aid cannot always
save the patient, and though hopes of her
recovery were ut times entertained death
came ut last and her cold and lifeless
form was all that remained to earth Of
her, the kind and atfectionate daughter
and beloved associate. She had beon II
frequent attendant of the Episcopal
church and was IA member of the Sunday
school. She had manifested desire to
be baptized and this wish prevailed with
her during her illness. The pastor being
absent, Rev ii. l.. Slack of the Congre-
gatiOnal church was called and admins
tered the sacrament, much to her relief.
The funeral obsequies took place from
the family residence in Elmwood, at
o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Rev Mr.
ii. l.. Slack, officiating. The attendance
was much larger than usual for rural
district. The churches mentioned and
her Sunday school were well represented
and the house was full. The service was
solemn and impressive and very many in
the audience sought relief from their sad
ness in tears. The body was clothed in
white embroidered robe and was laid to
rest in Il white casket open full length
and lined with white satin.
The floral display was rich and elabo-
rate. The Sunday school teacher, Miss
Eliza Ochs and class contributed a pillow
of flowers with the word Rest, the Elm
word Rest, her sister Carrie handsome
piece with the word Sister; Mrs Theo-
dore Carter of Danbury and Miss Minnie
Ridge each basket of flowers; large
bouquet of callas, Miss Carrie Crane !;
pansies and hyacinths, Misses Lille
Stierle and Jennie Baldwin,; bunch of
cdllas, Miss Mamie Dikeman; bouquet
of pinks, Mrs George Crane. The Elm
wood Sunday school dropped punches of
flowers upon the casket in the grave.
The pail bearers were Masters Lewie
Stratton, Lennie Huse, Wallie Huse, Har-
ry Andrews, Eddie Lyon and Richard
Sniffin. The burial took place in the

One Chance in a Hundred.

Besides running first class shoe store in
Bridgeport, T.. E. Abbott has been conducting
IL branch in Birmingham. The increased de-
mand in Bridgeport upon his time has made
it necessary, however, to close the store at
Birmingham and attend entirely 10 various
interests in Bridgeport. This is why $4,000
worth of boots and shoes will be sold at the
store in Bishop block at prices which cannot
fail to soon clear out the whole superfiuous
stock. People become so familiar with clos
ing and clearing sales that, when u real OPP
portunity for bargains presents itself, it is
sometimes overlooked. This sale of Mr. ABB
bolts will attract attention, because our citi-
zens are well aware that he does not resort to
catch-penny means of advertising his reliable
goods. The Birmingham stock is sold at bar
gain prices simply to dispose of u cumber-
some and duplicate lot. Figures are quoted
in large advertisement which appears else
where in this paper and all are invited to call
and be convinced that Mr. Abbotts offer is no
exaggerated tale to induce people to buy one
week and be Disguised the next. Included in
the disposal will be not only ladies' kid shoes
of leading makes and styles, but hand-sewed
lace and congress calf shoes for men, shoes
which will be economical to buy and stylish
to wear. The display OF children's school
shoes will surely be of interest to all parents
who care to save the dollars.

journed the society sine die Then some went
| to the parlor, where they attempted to take
up some old time games, as had been their
customlat previous meetings. Others remain

singing, which was also well rendered while
| others, wishing to trip the light fantastic toe
0here being musical talent at hand), went to
the kitchen, where few sets were danced
thus carrying out the words of the good book.
"a time for all things" The great indigna-
ton expressed must have been by those who
left in the early part of the evening and did
not enjoy the pleasure OF dancing (the presi-
