Stella Monroe. daughter of Rollin and
Eliza Monroe, died very suddenly on Tues
day OF last week, at the family homestead,
of diabetes Though in pvor health for
some months past she had faithfully, and
with ambition far beyond her strength, pur.
sued her chosen calling, that of teacher, al
most to the day of her death, having taught
the Saturday previous. The wasting of the
body and approaching languidness were not
thought by relatives and friends to be indi-
cations Of such sudden dissolution, for she
was able to walk to the neighbors only forty.
eight hours before her death, which occa.
sioued surprise and sadness to our whole
community. Her funeral was held from the
family home on Thursday, at II o'clock, Rev.
E. V. collars, OF Hiram College, officiating,
assisted by Rev. G. A. Wharton, pastor of
the Disciple Church of this place. The Dis.
ciple choir of Mantua furnished sweet and
solemn music. There was large attendance
of friends and relatives who met to show the
great respect in which the deceased was held
and to drop the tear Of sympathy with those
so suddenly and sadly bereaved. Flowers
in great beauty and profusion lent their
usual influence to the memory of departed
youth. These beautiful emblems were fur.
nished for friends by our florist, Harvey
House, and spoke the silent but beautiful
thoughts OF the living to the dead. The re-
mains were placed in the vault at Hillside,
awaiting interment in Streetsboro, by the
side of her mother, who died some pears ago.
R. w. Cody was in attendance at the
funeral Of Perry Coburn, near Kent, on
Thursday last.
Such fall of snow so early in the season
has not been known in this section for years.
Mrs. Bessie McFee fell from chair on
which she was standing, last Saturday, and
received severe jarring up. J. W. Jones
slid down the woodhouse stairs with the same
result.
Harry Jones was quite sick the fore part
of the week.
Little Dora Springer was sick and unable
to attend school for few days.
Miss Marshall, who is conducting a class
in vocal music at the Disciple Church, will
give concert with her class on Friday eve
ming Of next week, Nov. 23rd.
J.C. Libis and Son presented the Methodist
Church with an elegant new pulpit on Sun
day last. 1t is of their own manufacture and
specimen of artistic skill.
There will be preaching at the Feeder Dam
Schoolhouse next Saturday evening.
Rev. J. K. Shaffer. who died SO suddenly
at Alliance few days since, was the former
pastor Of the NJ. E. Church here and in
Martua. He was good man and much be-
loved BY his congregations and all others
who knew him. Isaac Tozer, Of this place,
attended the funeral.
Election has come and gone, and both
Democrats and Populists are strictly in it
Salt River. 1t must be great satisfaction
to those disgruntled Democrats who helped
to dy the Populist kite, to know what little
returns they got for their pains. The Re-
publicans are in the seventh heaven of polit-
ical pomposity, some of them nearly crazed
with joy. We are glad to know that our per-
sonal friend and townsman Henry B. Coe.
ran such a gsod race for infrmary Director
as to be elected by such a handsome MAORI
ty, after the contemplate mud-slinging that
was INDUCED in against him. It is a pleas
ure to vote for such men as he, whatever
may be their politics, 1t is also gratifying
to know that J. P. Jones and C. II. Laubert
made such excellent gains over the head of
their ticket. Gov. Mckinley can now stay
at home and attend TO business, and the land
will soon flow with milk and honey.
