DEArn OF 4 Coon Man. Friday

night last death robbed our conf
munity of one of its best citizens,
in the person Of Mr.. WB. Gable,
one of our most highly esteemed
business men and citizens. Some
weeks ago ne was burned on the
arm by the explosion of lamp,
which caused him much suffering,
bringing on nervous prostration,
and together with "a complication OF
diseases, ended in his death on the
above date. He bore his sufferings
patiently, and when the end came
he called his pastor and family
around him and said to them 'sI am
ready" He was AZ years of age,
and leaves a widow and several
children, and many relatives and a
host of warm personal friends to
mourn his loss. His funeral serv-
ices were held in Trinity NJ. L.
Church Sunday morning. and the
sermon was preached by his pastor,
Rev. A. l.. Hughes, who also con
Quoted the funeral ceremonies, as
sisted by Rev. J. A. Scott, of the
upper Presbyterian Church, and
Rev. G. G. Pearson, of Christ p. Z.
Church. His remains were laid to
rest in Lone Oak Cemetery, and the
funeral procession was one of tho
largest ever seen in this place, show
ing the high esteem in which tie
deceased was held by the people
among whom he had lived and done
business. MIR. Cable was an upright
Christian man, and his life was an
example worthy of imitation. To
the immediate family of the dcceas-
ed, and his mourning friends, we
extend our most sincere and heart
felt sympathy.

MAY SHE HAVE MANY MoRE.-
When We consider the greatness of
Ohio and her prestige in politics
and intellectually, it seems strange
that the year 1890 witnesses but
one Centennial Celebration within
her borders, and that one, too, but
the third event of its kind ever cell
ebrated in the State. We refer to
the anniversary of the settlement
of Gallipolis, October 10Th, 1890.
Events of more than common in
terest centre about this era in our
States history. The colony which
formed its first citizens was entirely
one race-the French. They were
artizans, merchants and profession
al men and hence not fitted as
pioneers. About them clustered
people and memories familiar as
the worlds history. Their p ant
became a fixture, though, and CALI
polls is healthy and clean little
city, noted for its hospitality and
the equality of her temperament.
The festivities will commence
Thursday evening, October 10th,
when the Ohio Historical Society
will hold its session. On Friday,
the Governors of Ohio and West
Virginia will meet, with their stats,
and music, galore. On Saturday,
the steamer Bostona will carry a
multitude of excursionists on the
bosom of the Ohio river. As rail
road and steamboat rates will be
very low, the crowd will be i'm
mense. May our sister city have
many returns of the occasion.
The same old tale is told of
farmer who does not read the pa
pers being fleeced of $4,000. Two
