No more striking example of the
truth of the familiar quotation ''in the
midst of life we are in death" can be
furnished than that of the death of
Joseph Roemcr, of Toledo, who, while
attending II banquet given in honor
OF his 5Oth wedding anniversary, re-
spOnded to the toast the Golden We'd
ding" in Il happy vein and closed bis
remarks by saying ''Now am ready to
. die, and before the hands of time had
marked another quarter hour he fell
forward and his soul passed to the
great beyond. Mr.. Roemer had lived
long, busy and honorable life, and his
death, or rather his departure from
this life to another, at moment when
he had but just expressed his feelings
OF praise and gratitude for having been
permitted to enjoy so many years Of
life, must indeed have been glorious
one. With IA heart filled with happi
ness and contentment, at peace with
the world and his God he passed tt
rest and everlasting glory. What ;
happy termination of life.

STILL IMPROVING.
ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS TO BE
ERECTED AT ONCE.
The Output of the Factory will he Greatly
Increased.

The business outlook at the Sheridon
Metal Wheel Cos factory is very en-
,courasing. They have orders on hand
at the present time to keep the factory
running with Il force larger than that
now employed, for the next six months.
They will soon erect new dry room
!30x50 feet. also a new building 36x6O
feet, two stories high, to be used as a
ware room,
MIR. Hook, of Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia, one of the capitalists now inter-
ested in the factory was here last week,
looking over the factory and business,
and expressed himself rs being we'll
pleased with the business prospects of
the company.
VIM. Shcridon visited several of the
leading manufacturing cities this week
for the purpose of making contract
for castings which will be used in the
manufacture of velocipides, trirycles
bicycles and express wagons, the man.
ufacture of which will be commenced
as soon as the castings can be supplied.
| In the manufacture OF express wag-
ons the company have succeeded in
making an article which can be manu-
factured at Il lower price than their
competitors and yet be of greater
strength than any other on the market.
, Mr.. Hook is Il practical wagon maker,
as we'll as a capitalist, and before plac-
ing an order for the castings for this
wagon insisted upon having q practi-
cal test made of one of the wagons to
demonstrate its strength. A wagon of
the same size, manufactured by the
Toledo Metal Wheel Co. was purchased
at the store of R.Danz in this place, ,and
tested, which collapsed on Il strain of
400 pounds while the Sherilon wagon
stood a strain of 700 pounds, and with Il
load ol 500 pounds of pig tin, the rear
axle was slightly bent. This wagon is
made with saving Of seven and one
half ounces Of metal in the castings,
and it is still much stronger than any
other wagon on sale. This saving in
metal is only IL small amount for each
wagon, but in the manufacture of a
large number the SAYING amounts to
large figures.
A Baltimore firm, quoted by Dun's
agency, ut 100000 to $l25,0OO, desires
to secure the exclusive agency for the
Sheridon goods in that city, and
guarantees to handle not less than
$4,000 in goods per year.
Every set of sample wheels that
have been sent out has been the fore
runner If orders for goods and unless
there is something sery deceptive in
the appearance of things, the success
of the Sherdon Wheel Co. is beyond
peradventure.

side by side, their little heads formed the
vtepladder to happiness over which any
fathers fancy might climb with that calm
endowment which supersedes every other
worldly pleasure.
Every Christmas eve was a gala time IN
our house then. II was q delight to con-
template their eagsrness and Innocence, to
answer their multitudinous questions, to
indulge them in their rapturss OF expeeta-

which are all in all to child life, all ia all to

ones to retire Christmas eve, but when at

the contemplation of the happy faces, rosy
