NJ. Sweeney's residence. Mr.. Ward
and his partner have rented Dave Sarv-
is building and are operating a first
class saloon.
Owen Love is still head man in M
Nc Carty's meat market and the same
genial good fellow. This shopis enjoy
ing an increasing trade by strict atten-
ton to business.
Henry Lubbock and wife are rejoicing
over the arrival Of a new born son the

trade and reported his family at present
in good health.
E. S. King still retains warm place
in the hearts of the people anq leads
in the drug business. He is the same
popular good fellow and is liked by
everybody.
Henry HUFFMAN mas opened TAILOR
shop on the east and west sides and is
doing a good business. He appears to
be we'll satisfied with his change.
While in Merrill last Friday we called
upon W. A. Scott and cleaned the fol-
lowing; Ele expects to come to Grand
Rapids the first Of June and remain
here until he has sub-let the entire line.
The reason why he has not been here
before is on account of logdriving and
other matters which have taken his en-
tire time, and the further fact that he
cannot get any iron rails before the first
Of September. That he will accept the
contract and build the road there is no
doubt.

CALLED HOME.
Geo. Zenlea, ST. died suddenEJ
WedneSday morning, Nay
20, 1890.

The uncertainty Of death Is vividiy
taught us in the passing away of Mr.
George Zenier Wednesday morning il
unusually good health. He retired
Tuesday evening after planning his
work for the morrow without com
plant as to any pain or unusual feeling
and fell asleep as had been his custom
Wednesday morning at about five
O'Clock his wife awoke, who by the
way, has been poorly for some time
and asked hlm to get up and start the
fire. She received no response when
she touched him, and still no reply.
She then arose and felt of his body
when to her surprise it was cold in
death. Imagine her feelings when she
realized that perhaps he had been dead
several hours. Mr.. Zenier died as he
had always lived in peace with all
mankind.
Mr.. George Zenier was born in Metz,
France, April 18th 1915, came to this
country when young man in 1889 and
settled in New Orleans where he
remained IA years.
He then moved to this city where he
was married to Mrs. Louise Bubloz in
1853. This union was blessed with three
children, two boys and one daughter
all of whom survive him, George, Alex
and Mrs. Emma Benedict. He also
leaves his helpmeet and three step
children, two daughters and one son,
Helen Thompson, who preceded him
IN death several years ago; Mrs Harriet
Biron, Of Merrill, and Charley Bubloz,
who resides near Plainfeld, Wis.
Mr.. Zenier was q kind and affectionate
husband; an indulgent and devoted
father; A kind neighbor and good
citizen with whom 1t was always a
pleasure to meet. He was a man of
good habits, industrious and sensitive to
fault. He will be greatly missed
among friends and especially about the
family hreside where he was most
appreciated.
The funeral services will take place at
the Opera House Saturday afternoon
at o clock.

ORDERS TO TELEGRAPHERS.
They Must Withdraw from the Brother

They Must Withdraw from the Brother
hood or Leave the Lake Shore Road.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-An order order has
been issued by William Kline, superin-
tendent of telegraphs of the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railways, request
ing the members of the order of railway
telegraphers in the employ of the com
pany to withdraw from the order or re-
sign their positions.
The reason assigned for this demand
is said to be the opposition of the broth
erhood to taking young men into their
offices as apprentices and teaching them
the business. This, it is said, the super
intendent believes detrimental to the
interests of the company.
The first order of the kind was issued
last August by Superintendent Kline,
when he sent a personal letter to all the
telegraphers in the employ of the COM
pany, asking them to withdraw from the
order, and also requesting those who
would not do SO to answer the letter and
give the reason for not desiring to COM
ply with the request. The letter created
quite a stir among the men and many of
them complied.
