Death of a Good Man.

Marcus Qowa) News. Jan. IL.
Clinton Noble, of Liberty township,
passed away on Sunday evening Jan.
z, 1894, at 9:25. Mr.. Noble was
stricken with paralysis and the grippe
on Christmas day, and was confined to
his bed until his death occurred. He
was one of the substantial farmers of
Cherokee county, and a man who had
an army of friends. We can truth
fully vouch for the oft repeated ex-
preston that he had not an enemy.
He came to this country fourteen
years ago from Mineral Point, Wis,
where he was highly respected among
his acquaintances. Honorable and
upright in his dealings, kind and
affectionate toward his family, and a
good man in every walk Of life. He
leaves large family and a multitude
of friends to mourn his departure. His
remains were laid to rest on Wednes-
day at Meriden, the burial being from
the Christian church. The News
extends sympathy to the bereaved
family. Mr.. Noble was born in In
DIANA, Sc years ago. He was a
brother-in-law of George Powell, also
of liberty township.

The Madison correspondent of the
Milwaukee Journal says that Assist
ant State Treasurer Proudft is author
ity for the statement that the resurrec-
ton of the Wisconsin Marine and Fire
Insurance company bank of Milwau-
kee and the Commercial bank of Eau
Claire releases all the moneys of the
state that were tied up by the suspen-
sion of banks last summer. The
amount due the state from both these
banks was about $4,000, and, al
though there was great cry that the
state had lost large amounts of money
through these bank failures, the money
is again safe.

DOubly Bereaved.


A four year old son of George De-
nure, living near the old Buck Horn
tavern, being left alone in the house a
few moments, on Tuesday of this
week, began playing in the fire, its
clothes became lighted and it was so
horribly burned that it died at four
o'clock Wednesday morning. Medical
aid was summoned from Argyle and
South Wayne, but to no avail. The
little body was completely charred in
places, but the child did not suffer any
great agony, death apparently having
been caused by the shock to its nerv-
ous system. This is the same family
tnat lost q child few months ago by
being run over by train on the st.
Paul road near Browntown.
