obituary-Davisson.

Lenore Davisson is dead. On the
second day Of June, when morning
broke so full of sunshine, greeted
with the soft breath of summer,
| ladened with the perfume of earth's
rarest flowers and with carroling the
sweetest birds awoke to greet the
dawn, her pure spirit passed to that
undiscovered bourne from which no
traveller returns. Sinking intoa calm
and placid sleep, perhaps no more
beautiful change of mortality for
immortality was ever witnessed.
After an illness Of over years, dur
| ing which time she had been attend
ed by some of the best medical skill
| in the world, her recovery had still
been hoped for until within the past
| few weeks. All this time kind
friends, and the family and physi-
clan, labored faithfully to stay
the life of one so young and lovely,
| yet the white horse and his rider
death have conquered, and the once
! fair AMI vivacious Lenore is no more.
Perhaps death never left heavier
gloom in any community then when
| it took unto itself that which was a
star of hope to many weary heart.
| Her life had been ray of sunshine
wherever it had fallen. Her highest
aims in life had been to Tighten the
| burdens OF others, and the setting
| forth of the truth Of the grander,
humanity. During the three months
spent in the Presbyterian Hospitable
of Chicago, when her own health
would permit, the loving deeds of
kindness among the sick and dying,
as she went from ward to ward and,
sang the hymns she loved so much
while the tones Of her guitar woke
and vibrated at the touch of her dear
fingers, will long be remembered by
the dear ones there. She loved all
that was good and pure, and long
ago she anchored her hopes in the
Rock of Ages, and robed in the spot
less robe Of righteousness she Is layeu
away, to await the morning of the
resurre ction, with Christ's blest as
surance that she shall live again
when he comes to gather up his
jewels.
| She has gone, the young, the beautiful the
bright.
Earth receded. heaven opened to her sight,
| Her spirit lives in an eternal day
Mid angel bands and gloritcd array.

Mr.. w. j. WRIGHT. photographer,
is taking some fine views Of resi-
dences and other attractive features
Of this city. Among the most popular
because 1t directly interests the
many, is his view Of eX-soldiers,
ladies Of the relief corps and others,
taken at the time Of the Memorial
Day services in the city park. The
| faithful likenesses of the scores Of
familiar faces in this group il the
chief merit Of the picture. Copies
are on sale, and may be seen at the
TRIBUNE office.
THE manifest wisdom and great
convenience of the proposed new
highway from Bloomfield to this city
must surely insure its construction.
1t is petitloned for by large NUM-
Der Of people. The proposed road Is
on the line dividing the towns Of
Linden and Mineral Point, and needs
approval by the boards Of both towns.
1t will shorten the distance from
Bloomfield to this city one mile and
a quarter, making difference Of 2la
miles travel on the round trip. 1t
ought to be done.
A CARLOAD of Deering Binders and
Mowers just received. Do not fail to
examine these new machines. MAR
