The religious sentiment of the community
has been minstercd To In Il most cOmfortablr
and satisfying manner while the social an d
enlivenng side Of ife has not been neglect
with the EpiscopalIans the lenten service
has been full of interest, while the Methodist
revival meeting daily and nightly attracted
n great multitude of those who enjoyed the
religious services which brought precious
fruit to many souls.
by their evil speaking and their vain
glorious assumptions the politicians have also
shared in our attention. As they labored
either to discover a threatening evil, or en-
deavored 10 dispel an imaginery cloud, they
amused or provoked, according to the tenn
permanent of the individual citizen.
But all these things lost their true Slgnlfi-

contamination of the splendid entertainment
which had its elimination in the court

About a month ago the Kings Daughters
determined 10 give the entertainment OF
which we speak, and they spent much time
an d care in preparation for the occasion, ana
the wonderful success OF their efforts has been
most gratifying.
A crowded house, with one accord, award
the young ladies, and the young gentlemen
who assisted them, the highest praise for a
most enjoyable evening. The admission fee
was reasonable, aud the performances were
superb.

Royal Feast.

After the conclusion of the exercises in the
Court House, the Kings Daughters gave to in
vited guests an entertainment In the New
Hotel, where they themselves did the honorS
Of the occasion. and so delicately and so
well did they perform the responsibility that
each guest felt that he was the recipient OF
special favor, and no one felt that any othe
able queens already reign supreme in our
hearts, and their loyal subjects would crown
them queens Of their homes.

Obituary.

Z. ID. Devereaux was born in Camden,
N. Y, on March "a, 1914, was married TO
Sally Welsher on March 10, 1888 and died
In Penfeld, March 10, 1892, his death oc-
curing on the date oil his wedding aRniver-
sary.
Father Devereaux's last sickness was
the first time during his life in which a
doctor was called TO his bedside.
To them were born six children, one of
whom died in early youth and one in
young manhood. The other four survive
him.
They removed TO this state shortly after
their marriage, living in Tr'y, until 1916,
when they settled on their farm In Pen
field, where they endured many Of the
hardships Of pioneer life IN making for
themselves and family their pleasant
home.
On November "a, 1884, Father Dever.
eaux was called 10 mourn the loss of his
wife, the companion Of his Joys and sor.
rows for oyer fortysix years, since which
time he has spent many lonely hour,
never seeming 10 feel that home was
home with mother gone.
He was converted when a young man
and united with the Methodist church, of
which he was member several years,
after which he Joined the United Brethren
where be remained member until his
death. He was an earnest and devoted
Christian father and friend. Though not
always permitted to attend religious ser
vices regularly he ever maintained his
Christian life even In the seclusion of
home and we trust his death was the
death Of the righteous and his last end
was peace. Funeral services were held on
Thursday at II a. M, Rev. w. E. Barton
officiating.
