the Presbyterian church of Peoria, Ills,
which he left in 1890 to succeed DR.
Noyes as pastor of the First Presbyteri-
an church of Evanston, Ills, where his
hriIliancy and logic soon made his
name widely known. His sermons are
always interesting and never stereOtyp-
ed, and yet he breaches the gospel.
He has made careful study of social
conditions. and it is said that he once
declined to hear a celebrated minister

present in Trafalgar square and hear

THE FLOWER SHOW.

The Horticultural Society's first spring exhibition of cut and wild flowers, and pansies, last Thursday and Friday after moons and evenings, was success in the way of exhibits, but the attendance was lamentably small and discouraging to those who spent time and labor in ar ranging it. Premiums were awarded by the judges, Henry Horn and Mrs J. Os- born Wright, as follows: Wild flowers, first, James Dallas; second, Carl Will Hams; special mention, Louise Burr :; pansies, first, Charles Gray; 9second, w. o. Burr. An elegant exhibit of cut flow CTS by MT Horn and of pansies by John Dallas were not entered for competition but added greatly to the attractions. George Donald showed fine plants of hy- drangea and ferns. John Dallas was awarded first premium on cut flowers :; Christian Williams second. Alice M. Schulte and George D. Donald made cred. itable exhibits of wild flowers. This part of the show formed the principal feature and illustrated what can be done with lit tie effort on the part of the young peo- pie. The first premium was taken with 60 varieties, the second with 49. These premiums should tempt the children to an interested effort and afford an excel. lent opportunity to cultivate a love of flowers.

DEA GEORGE l.. NICHOLS.


 Dea George l.. Nichols entered into rest on May II, after some six months of gradual decline and failure of strength through the intirmity of age, being in his S7th year. Mir Nichols was the eldest son of Daniel and Hannah E. Nichols of this town, who lived to the good old age respectively of S7 and S3. The other two brothers of the family, Nathan Bennett Nichols of this town, now in his S4th year, and AlonZo Nichols of Monroe. now in his Slst year, survive him. So that at the time of Georges death, all the children of Daniel and Hannah B. Nichols were living and the youngest being over so, a very remarkable event. Dea George, with his two brothers, as the result of revival in the place, united with the church, 5l years ago. His conversion being very positive, he embraced with all his heart the Word of God as revealed in the Sacred Scriptures, and he held fast to the strong orthodox doctrines of that Word, and maintained firmly, that per sons to be Christians must be born again, must experience change in heart and life. For years he was one of the strong pillars of the church in doctrine and faith and in holding up the spiritual and practi- cal life in the prayer meetings. Thirty six years ago his brethren recognized his DS cltCliuS hIIu uEa- con of the church, which office he held till his death, executing his duties faith fully till within few years, when in firmity of age constrained him to relin- guish the active duties to his younger associates in office.

TRUMBULL.
GRANGE TOPICS.

Eighteen members of the Grange met with the Farmill River Grange last Friday evening, and gave them a program. A very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. The program given consisted of singing, recitations, original papers, readings, etc. A beautiful supper was provided in the hall below, which does much credit to the ladies of Huntington Grange.
 On Thursday of this week the Grange will provide Harmony Grange of Monroe with program.
 At our next regular meeting on Fri day evening the meeting will be in the hands of Worthy Flora, who will no doubt provide pleasant program.
 A car load of bran arrived, last week, and one of middlings is on the road. The storehouse is pretty well filled. We in- tend to keep a stock of all kinds of grain on hand in the near future and all those wishing good quality would do well to buy of us.
