1t pains us to report the death Of

the 10th, of bilious fever. Death $
doings in that family are sad to relate
Three of the children followed one an.
other to the grave. Now the father
has gone. His wife and two children
remain to mourn his loss. The fu-
neral sermon was preached by Rev.C.
NJ. Yost at Hedges Chapel, on last
Sunday. His text was Mark the
perfect man and behold the upright,
for the end Of that man is peace In
speaking of Mr.. Bowers life, he sale
he believed him to be as perfect as il
was possible for man to be perfect and
gave his reason. He proved the doc
trine of Christian perfection. All we
can say is that he was good, perfect
Christian man. He was consistent
member of the NJ. F. Charch and as.
sistant superintendent of the Sabbath
school. He has gone from earth t.
dwell, with the Saviour he loved Sc
we'll. The bereaved ones have the
sympathy of the entire community.

of gambling and disgrace to com
