WILL, WE KNOW

When our last good-by is said,
And the vital spark has fed,
VIII we know that we are deadY
Will we sec the darkened room,
Filled with woe and deepest gloom,
Life's forever silent loomH
Faces bending to our own,
All the ioy-light from them flown,
So much older, Sadder grownH
VIII we hear each bitter cry,
Sob and moan and heartfelt sigh,
AS the weary hours drag byS
VIII we feel each tender hand,
While their owners dumbly stand,
Round us there, o broken band2
VIII we listen for the one
We love best, when day Is doneY
And there is no comfort none!
Will we all reluctant 20
From our homes? We prize them so!
Homes we ne er again will know

On dear Mother Earth's warm breast
Prove the grave downy nestH
viii we wait in dreamless sleep
For the tryst we all must keep
For the harvest we will reap?
Or will we at once ascend
To our Father, King and Friend,
Who, oil. wise, OrdainS life's end?
When our last good by is said,
And the vital spark has fed,
VIII we know that we are dead?

A PRETTY WEDDING

That of Miss Maggie Miller to Mr.. Thorn
as Martin.
1t was very pretty wedding hat
in which Miss Maggie Miller and Mr..
Thomas Martin were the contracting
parties, last Wednesday at high noon,
1t occurred at the residence of the
brides mother just south of the city
and the ceremony was performed by
Elder TT. VanDolah, of the Christian
church. The bride was very neatly
attired in London smoke costume,
trimmed in chiffon and carried love-
ly hand boquet of Chrysanthemums'
She certainly looked charming as she
stood by the side of the popular groom,
ann with him distinctly answered the
questions of ceremony. There were
about 80 people present-all, if not
nearly all relatives of the Happy
couple. A wedding dinner was served,
and then an hour or more was spent
in admitting the lovely presents re-
ceived.
On Thursday evening Mrs. O. G.
Martin, mother to the groom, gave a
successful reception at the Martin
Farm, in honor of the couple. A lap
supper was served at seven p. H., at
which Miss Belle Martin, assisted by
Misses Fannie Rowe and Minnie
Homer, were conspicuous at seeing
that the plates were kept we'll filled
with the most delectable of edibles.
Following this several more very
appropriate and useful presents were
given to the honored couple, and then
games were INDUCED in. Needless to
say that it was after 1890 o'clock
when the last guest wished the happy
couple smooth sailing on the uncer-
tain pillows of life and departed
homeward.
Among those present at the recep-
ton were Mrs. Miller, Clark Shaver
and wife, Guy Rowe and wife, Clark
Miller, Nellie Lyman, A. P. Cloudy,
III. NJ. Aune, Frank Curtis, Fred Hon
ner, W.D. Martin, Robert Pryor, Hen

A RURAL THANKSGIVING.

"The past rises before me like a
dream" as Pob lngersoll said. We are
back in the good old times before the
war, in the middle section of the Wa
bash valley. The glorious. mellow. yell
low, late autumnal days have come In
dian summer is past, it is true, but it's
aroma still fingers Oh the brown mead

woods. At least one year in three we
have late springs and late falls, as the
farmers say, and this is one of the years

and are fattening in the stalk fields. from
which the yellow corn has just been
gathered.

they cried. And the musician fairly

which is now of world wide celebrity;
and the professor discoursed SO admira-
bly, of the foibles and idiosynciasies Of
the second Ra,nesis that he was voted
the most interesting speaker who ever
enlivened Thanksgiving party: and
the editor of The Gazette recited his
famous article with unusual fervor. so
that some of the ladies wept again.
The dinner lasted two hours and
when it was over there was heard a
ring at the doorbell, and who should
have done the ringing but the foreman
of The Gazette, whose doom had been
pronounced. He had come to call the
editor away on important business. and
it was quite affecting to see that able
man embrace his subordinate and say:
Your wages are raised two dollars a
week. By one OF your blunders you
caused Mr.. Wardwell's dinner to be a
misfit, but there never was nobler
dinner than have had today"

the small boy-how he does enjoy this
season! These are the days when he
''slips off at afternoon recess, gives the
school house the "cold shake" and hur-

the soft hulls off and picks out the nuts.

he does it as he did it last year, and as
he will do it again. We all did it.
1t is the day before Thanksgiving-a
glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulat-
ing day-and the old farlnyard is full Of
life. Red Pete, as we call last years
gobbler, is strutting about i'll the glory
of freshly attained adult gobblerhood
as proud and important as if lie We're
directing the proceedings. He is in a
sense, though he little imagines the
sense Our riot dooms him to bleed to-
day" as Pope says, but not having our
reason he can look on in re happiness

staked fast for the convenienceof cut

beyond the ak is on the grindstone, but
he little imagines that it all has any ref

The wife and mother takes stock Of
ducks and chickens, but talks of the So

from Asbury university? They will, for
the ..'spondulix," as college boys in
those days called the remittance, was
sent in time, and even now the younger
brother has gone to the country depot to
fetch them home in the old farm wagon.
Thanksgiving morning-the light break
fast is soon dispatched. for that is a
small affair on such day. There is a
general brushing up, and all are off to
the country church. The reacher and
his wife return with the family, and
about l O'Clock the great event Of the
day is on.
All are there-the two boys from
college, the hired man and one or two
cousins, the Oldest girl of the family and
the rosy checked farmer she married a
year OF so before. The baby is laid on
the bed in the nearest room. and there is
always at least one little girl so fond OF
children that she volunteers to watch
him. The happy group is seated, the
preacher has his devotional say and &C.

once more, in culinary beauty this time
but it is positively his last appearance on
these shores. And then the long after.
noon of social chat and innocent merri
ment, and the evening in which the
young people take possession OF the
house! Such was Thanksgiving in the
good old times, such for the most part
it still is, and such may it long continue
to be, VIGO.

The ia i've servants Of India are said
to be courteous in the extreme. and when
they learn of any particular festival
which their masters desire to observe
they always make it point to offer
their congratulations, accompanied by
presents of flowers, fruits and sweets
tastefully arranged i'll fantastic baskets.
They know all about Christmas and
New Year, but it was the United States
consul at Calcutta who first enlightened
them regarding Thanksgiving. There

REDWOOD IRON WORKS.
They are Open and Ready For l,u

They are Open and Ready For lSusi-
ness.
The Redwood Iron Works is ready
for business, and is now able to turn
out anything from the smallest kind
Of repair to the engine or boiler.
The Works are situated at the
southern end of Mil street just across
the c. & n. w. tracks and near the
city water tower. The building is an
L shaped structure, one part being
separated from the other by board
partition. One of the wings is to be
used for casting only, while the other
will be used for turning and finishing
and everything else necessary to COM
plete first-class foundry and machine
shop. The first wing for casting has
a floor of clay and an iron furnace that
will melt iron as easy as butter melts
under July sun. Messrs. Wilson q
Schmidt are now preparing moulds
for large number of castings that
will be turned into wood saws. horse
power jacks, pole saws of two styles,
railway cutting off saws, tank pumps,
horse powers of all sizes. boilers, en-
gines, and in fact everything that a
machine shop and iron works should
turn out. These castings will all be
made in the furnace room and as soon
as the moulds are completed and the
iron for the same arrives.
In the turning and finishing room is
a boiler and an eight horse power en-
CINE, a lathe and turning wheel, a
drill, a planning machine, an emery
grinder of which MIR. Schmid is the
patentee, and large number of me-
chanic's tools too numerous to men,
ton. The lathe and turning wheel is
certainly beauty direct from the
manufacturer w. A. James, of Chicago,
ILL.,, and costing alone in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000. It will turn and fin
ish wood, brass, iron, steel, copper or
marble with the greatest of ease, and
to degree of perfection. The James
drill will drill a hole of any size
through solid metal while YOU are
waiting and if you desire it threaded
the lathe will do it with the same ra-
pidity. The planning machine is also
one Of James latest, and will plane
down seventeen inch bar of iron or
metal of any kind to the smallest part
of an inch, if necessary. All of this
machinery is attached by belts and
shafts to the engine, as is also the en-
cry wheel and makes as well-eouipped
machine shop and. foundry as there is
in the State. The people of Redwood
and adjoining counties should give
the works a good patronage

Thanksgiving Gives JOY and Comfort.

Thanksgiving Gives Joy and Comfort.
Some beautiful thoughts regarding
Thanksgiving are embodied in the fol-
lowing paragraph published by Harper's
Bazaar some time ago: "When the heart
is sorest, grief the bitterest, loss the
most extreme, the giving Of thanks brings
relief to the spirit like that of rain to
the thirsty earth. To give thanks to
heaven that we have had the lost to
love, that they are ours, since we love
them still and we cannot love what is
not; to give thanks that they ever ex-
listed, that we knew them and had to do
with them, that we had pride and JOY in
them-to do this is to put ourselves into
such close connection and conversation
with the all giving power as to receive q
new JOY almost as precious as the old.
It is like the breaking of sacramento.

bread eth uith the beloved; it is shar-
ing with heaven still their possession.
1t is lifting the whole being to the spir-
itual plane where the beloved are. It is
without meaning it, without knowing
it, saying Thy will be DONE 1t is en-
tering into the close intimacy of that
power dark with excessive brightness.
It makes heavenly joys real, and all but
renews and revitifies the earthly"

Bv Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
MEADvILLE, Penn. Oct. 6.-The jury
in the Deiamator case found a verdict of
guilty as to George Wallace Delamator,
and not guilty as to G. B. Delamator
and T. A. Delamator. G. w. Delama-
tor was in the court room this morning,
and received the verdict without finch
ing The defense will move for new
trial, and failing to obtain it, will carry
the case up on the question of the con
stitutionality of the act of 1889, and
their numerous exceptions taken to the
courts rulings. The verdict meets with
general approval. The charge upon
which ex Senator Delamator is convicted d
is statutory embezzlement; that is, the
firm received deposits in their bank,
knowing themselves to be insolvent.
