UNIONTOWN.
\ sad event in our community was the
death of Mr.. John McNary, ST., which oc-
CURED on the 9TH inst, at his home near
New Athens. The primary cause of his
death was asthma, and the immediate
cause strangulated hernia. He had pre-
viously been very i'll from asthma, but
was recovering from its effects, and all
were hopeful that he would soon be about
again, and the sad intelligence of his
death was asurprise to many. The funer-
al took place on Monday, the 10th inst,
and services were held at IL A. NJ, at Uni
ty Church, the congregation of which Mr.
McNary was consistent member. A
very large cOncOuse of friends, neighbOrs,
and people from a distance gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect. Mr.
Dawson of New Athens, acted as funer-
al director, and the pail bearers were
Messrs Robert J. Pollock, Robert Love,
Samuel Boggs, James Cannon, Joseph
Rogers and William Dickson. His
pastor, DR.. VIM. Waddell, of the U. P.
Church, and also DIR. T. j. Milford and
Rev. .Mechlin, of the Presbyterian Church,
were present. The services were affect
ing and impressive. Each minister spoke
of the knowledge of the Christian life of
the deceased, of his pleasing manners, his
character as friend and neighbor, the
uniformity of his life. The excellent
choir of the Church, Mr.. 7. J. Henderson,
leader, sang at the opening of the ser
vice the 90th Psalm, and at the close a
part of the 103d, 8th verse, as announced
by the pastor. Those present were given
an opportunity to take the last look at a
face and form with which they had been
for years familiar. Slowly and reverent-
ly they passed the caSket with evidence
of sorrow on their saddened faces-the
lid was closed, the casket borne to the
cemetery and lowered into the grave, the
benedictiOn was pronounced, and the
form of good man passed away from
earth forever. Mr.. McNary was about SO
years of age, and was known to many
people. Although dead, he will not be
forgotten, and his best monument is the
record of Christian life.
Mr. James Ferguson and wife, who
paid a brief visit to relatives here return
ed home to Wheeling last week. Mr..
Ferguson has been seriously i'll, and his
health is not improving as fast as could
be hoped for.
We regret also to note sickness in the
family of Mr.. James Bell-Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Bell aud Mr. J. c. Bell, have been
quite ill with the Russion influenza, ex-
cept Mrs. Moore, who has been an invalid
for some time.
Mr.. Melvin McClanahan was taken
violently and dangerously ill on Sabbath
evening, and for time his condition was
critical. He suffered from influenza, but
is now out of danger with proper care.
During recent storm at night as Mr..
B. W. Hoge was seated by the fire he
heard tapping on the window, and
raising the sash handsome red bird
flew into the room. In little time he
heard the sound again, and found anoth-
er sitting on the sill, which allowed him
to take it in his hand and place it with
the other. They are now paying for
shelter with beauty and song.
Mr. ID. R. Bentley and Miss Dora Tay-

at the home of the brides parents, near

ficiating The young couple are held
in high estimation by large circle of
friends, who wish for them many years
of welded happiness and prosperity. We
did not learn the particulars of the hap
py event, but know that everything was
characterized by good form and taste.
Mrs. LaiZure, an aged invalid lady of
this place, was alarmingly ill on Monday
