WEDDING BELLS,
st. Matthews Church The Scene Of s
Brilliant rIarriage This Week

Brilliant rIarriage This Week
One of the prettiest marriages
ever witnessed in Hillsboro was
the one which took place at ST..
Matthews church Tuesday even
ing, when Mr.. Thomas H.! Webb,
formerly of Hillsboro, but now
of Nashville, Tenn. led to the
altar Miss Isabella Davidson
Graham, eldest daughter of Ma
jor John w. Graham.
As usual, upon occasion of
church weddings, especially
where the contracting parties
enjoy a wide acquaintance and
large circle Of friends, the build
ing was unable to accommodate
the crowd which reached the
door an hour before the time set
for the ceremony, and when
the bridal party arrived there
was not standing room in
church or gallery, the latter
having been reserved for the
colored people, of whom there
were many who had served in
the family and who felt as live
ly an interest in the happiness
of the young couple as any one
present. White chrysanthe-
NUNS, which seem peculiarly
appropriate to such occasions
and are a special fayorite with
autumn brides, were layishly
used in the decoration 1.-The bits
greenery seen through the mass
of white feathery blossoms be-
ing just enough to suggest the
freshness of budding hope,
which makes life all youth and
the years all springtime in the
eyes Of love and the hearts of
lovers. Wax tapers shed a
soft light over q scene Of ex
lquisite beauty-a scene such as
is rarely enjoyed in the quiet old
town where weddings, and par
ticularly church weddings, are
not every day occurrences.

A SAD DEATH.
Promipe vt Farmers Death
Shrouded In Mystery.
Death

On Sunday evening closely to the
time of 5:l5, Charles Leatch, a bachelor.
and wealthy farmer living in Brule was
found dead in his barn. On his right
temple was q bruise, and just at the
base Of the brain another bruise. A
young man by the name OF Stefani, n
son Of Joe S,cfani, found the body rs
described. and Immediately notified the
neighbOrs. An inquest was hello and
these facts developed that Stefani
had come to the farm during the day
to buy u calf. his business being that OF
buying calves and then shipping them
to Sioux City where they were sold to
the butchers rs veal. Stefani stated
that they had chased the calf In the
pasture when a storm came up and
Leach madet a run for the barn. That
was the last seen Of him alive. The
inquest was continued to meet in Elk
Point today Wednesday,
The deceased had long been u resi-
dent OF Union county and by frugality
and hard work had secured consider
able property. He was u brother Of
Mrs. Nj. Gill, Sr., and was highly re-
spected. His brother. John Leatch,
and mother live in Jefferson. The
property of the dead man is estimated
to be worth s 5000 or $6. 900.
The theory, which is generally ac-
cepted, as to the way Nj. Leatche's
death occurred, is that he was kicked
in the head by one Of his horses after
falling To the barn floor.
The funeral was held in the church
in this city on Tuesday and was large
ly attended.
At the examination held in the court
room the jury brought in a verdict that
Mr.. Leatch had met his Death from the
blow of Il blunt instrument. However
the public seems to be Of the opinion
that there is little evidence of murder
Gus intent.

Lr-FKIN-Died on Monday July Is, 1895, at 4 p.
H., Howard Metcalf Illfkin. son OF MIR. and
Mrs. G, ID. Lnfkin, aged 2 years. and 2 months
from whoOping cough.
The death of Mr.. and Mrs. Lufkin's
son came SO sudden and SO unexpected
that the blow to all came with unusual
severity. Little Howard during the
summer had enjoyed splendid health.
Although the first year OF his life had
not been rs free from illness as his pa
rents wished, under the excellent
weather and delightful days of this
summer his parents were rejoicing in
their quiet way the blessings Of our
pure air and wholesome sunshine.
About two weeks ago Howard was
seized with the prevalent plague, the
whooping cough. The parents watch
ed with tender care each symptom of
the disease and not for a moment antic-
ipated any danger, the summer being
upon us and the dangerous conse.
Quences of the disease being largely
eliminated. On last Sunday the little
sufferer was taken with q spasm, no
doubt caused by the paroxysms of Sc
we're coughing. Everything was done
that medical aid could suggest and
loving hands could devise. But heaven
had willed otherwise and at the dawn
OF the day the poor little sufferer laid
his soul at the feet OF his master and bid
an eternal farewell TO the earth. Al
though only in the third year Of his life
Howard was of All exceedingly loving
disposition and the blow to his parents
is the ac,ne Of human sorrow. The fun
eral services were held at the residence
of the parents; where the beautiful and
comforting words OF the Episcopal
creed we're read by Rev. OReilly assist-
ed by Rev. W. Lloyd Hines. The pail
bearers were Nellie Freeman, Grace
Ringsrud, Jennie and Aggie Bovee.
The remains were taken to Fairbault.
Mimi, for burial being accompanied
by Mr.. Lufkin Mrs. Lufkin takes the
loss SC keenly that it was thought adj
visable to not permit her 60. The
sympathy Of the entire community goes
out. to the bereavcd parents, and
while their loss is very keen, indeed,
there Is consolation in the thought that

Who Need 1t.
In February 1898 an epidemic of
diptheria and severe cold weather
combined to produce much want and
suffering among the poor of u com.
munity, and the young men of our
town decided to extend to them a help
ing hand: accordingly a charity ball
was planned and a committee of six
ladies was appointed to dispense the
money raised. The ladies met at the
home OF Mrs. Reid on the afternoon of
February II, and organized by electing
Mrs. Reid president, and Mrs. Murphey
secretary, and then proceeded to in-
vestigate the claims presented for their
care. The first ball yielded about SOC
which was invested in groceries, dry
goods, fuel, medicine, fruit and such
things as were needed by the families
visited.
The second ball was given January
II, 1894, at which time about $4l was
raised, and the same committee OF
ladies was asked to take charge of the
money. which they did, by inquiring
into the needs, and giving as they
