Obituary.

On Thursday morning, March the
10th, at the Bittinger post Office,
Mrs. II. V. Savage nee Lohr, died of
complication of diseases, aged 25
years, 8 months and IS days. The
funeral was conducted by Rev. Royer
who preached an able sermon from
the words, "What | do thou know
est not now but thou shall know
hereafter" !" The interment was
made in the Forks cemetery. She
leaves husband and son three years
old and many friends to mourn their
loss.
Yes, she is dead. No sleep so
beautiful and calm, so free from
trace of pain; so fair to look upon.
She seemed a creature fresh from
the hand Of God and waiting for
the breath of hfe-not one who had
lived and suffered death. Well
may we exclaim with the poet:
II know thou art gone to the land of thy rest;
Then why should my soul be so sad?
l know thou art gone where the weary are
blest,
And the mourner looks up and is glad
Where love has put off, in the land of its birth
The stain it had gathered in this;
And Hope, the sweet singer that gladdened
the earth,
Lies asleep in the bosom of bliss.
\ FRIEND.

 Hits Upon a Plan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-For many years B. R. Brainerd, of the firm of E. R. Brainerd & O., stone contractors, of Chicago, has held a 800 acre tract of land in Virginia, because he could not get rid of it without giving it away, the land coming dnto his possession in payment of a bad debt
 A few days ago Mir Brainerd went east with a view of disposing of this tract if it were possible to do so, but on making closer inspection of his land, than had heretofore been made, a deposit of manganese was found, the extent of which is supposed to be al- most unlimited, with what is estimated to be million dollars worth of the metal in plain sight It is the most valuable deposit of manganese ever uncovered in this country.

 A Strong Gold Man.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. 16.- Information has reached here from Washington that Secretary D. R. Francis of the interior department, has appointed J. w.
