An Enemy Bafhed.

There is an enemy with whom thousands are
familiar all their lives because they are born
with tendency to biliousness. With this enc

weapons. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
battle it. Mere purgatives will not reform

Death of DR.. Barnes.

L. ID. Dewey received letter Wednesday
announcing the death at San Jose, Cali
fornia, Dec. %, of Dr. John b. Barnes. Mr.
Barnes was one of the pioneers of Owosso,
coming here 80 years ago, remaining until
1887, when he went to California TO live
with his daughter. He had much to do with
the early history of this city, was one of its
early mayors, one of the charter members
of the Congregational church and in many
ways was prominent. TO him we owe
many of the beautiful shade trees about the
city, he having set them years ago. His
age was 81 years.

Obituary..

Mrs. Savilla Glotfelty, wife of
Mr.. Adrian Glotfelty, died March
10, 1893, aged SIS years, Z months
and 20 days.
She was a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Frantz. At Accident
she united with the Lutheran church
and was still member at death.
~Of her six children two little girls
died while young, the oldest son &.
F., lives near Oakland with whom
she was living at the time of her
death; Calvin H., lives near Nc
Henry; Mrs. Annie, wife of Free
man Dewitt, near Johnstown; the
two adopted children Miss Mamie
Glotfelty and Master Franklin
Smith remain at home.
The deceased had not enjoyed
good health for many years. She
passed away calmly and peacefully
as only consistent and conscien-
tious Christian can do. Frequently
in her last days she would sing or
recite sweet and consoling hymns
much to the assuring comfort of
her friends. The funeral services
were held in the NJ. E. church of
McHenry which was comfortable
filled with the large circle of rela-
tions flour generations of the Glot-
felty family represented and friends
Rev. VIM. L. Leisher, Oakland
Lutheran pastor, preached from
Zech. IA: Z and officiated at the
burying in the family ve-yard.
Her character and life aspirations
may be summed up with:
Nearer my God to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!
Fen though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
M.earer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee!"

of personal endearment and ele-
waited tributed in memory of his
dead friend. the lamented Playford
Townshend. What solemlnitv in
the fight of days between two
scenes! In common with all hu-
mainly he was fa'llble and had his
failings. Were the man exempted
from them required to rise and cast
the first stone to what quarter or
limit of the globe would we look to
behold him? In the boundless
range of the commonwealth OF
christianity mortal admiration is
challenged by but one perfectly
shining anu faultless Characteristic
beautiful and spotless character
pictured in apostolic annals of
Christ.
But when we recall the film of
the cloud that may have over-hung
some part of this mortality in con-
trast with the many and luminous
lights in which its virtues dwelt, we
not only rejoice in what We see but
we feel that it cease to be strange
that the final hour of this closing
life should have been so unclouded
and tranquil, and that the silver
cord should have been so gently
loosed as to bring to the face
smile while the spirit fled to the
great chancerY of the heavenly
realm.
