by Pastor Straw from the familiar
text, nBehold stand at the door and

A Young Life Ended.

Mr.. Hammil Martin, aged "a years,
died at the home of his mother, Mrs.
John Martin in this city last Sun
day night, of inflammation of the bow
els, after an illness of only few
days. Deceased was native of
Mineral Point, and was esteemed by
the entire community for his manly
virtues. A helpful, dutiful son, he was
the staff and support of his widowed
mother, sister and younger brothers.
Untiringly industrious, he was al
ways willing and ready for every
duty. Had he been less so it is
thought he would have ceased work
sooner on feeling indisposed, as he
did for day 9r two before giving at
tention to the disease which termi-
mated his life. For several years he
had served as bass singer in the M.
f. church choir, and was ever ready
to give the public the benefit Of his
fine voice, which promised to win
him prominence in musical circles.
This talent, and life of correct habits,
combined with a naturally kind and
genial nature, could but result in his
being a favorite With young and old.
The widowed mother, sister and
brothers have many to mourn with
them in their great affiiction. The
funeral was held Wednesday after
noon, with services at the M. T..
church, conducted by Pastor Straw.

question of guilty or not guilty. the

of showing that his crime should be

Error Corrected Mills to Run Again.

The TRIBUNE's statement concern
ing the Mineral Point wooden mills,
based on insufficient Information,
was erroneus, in that it confounded
one company under which the mills
had been operated but now practi-
cally extinct, with new company,
still in active existence. We cheer
fully reprint from the Democrat the
following correction;
Itwas the affairs OF the old Mineral
Point Wooden company, which oper-
ated the mills in 1894, that Were
wound up; and not the affairs Z the
present Mineral Point Wooden Manu-
featuring company. The Democrat
Is glad to state upon authority of the
stockholders of the new company,
that large number Of orders have
been received from Chicago and else
where, and that the mills will resume
operation early in February. The
company is showing the finest line
Of samples ever turned out of these
mills; and it is hoped and believed
that enough orders will be secured to
keep the mills in constant operation
during the coming year.
