We are sorry to note the death Of MIR. Jos.

very suddenly to the family and friends.
He was in his usual cheerful condition and
about in his room, and had just lain down
upon his bed to take the regular afternoon
rest. the daughter, Miss Bessie, was alone
with him at the time, having smoothed his
pillows, and had turned to secure some other
attention, when her father made effort rs il
to cough, and again turning to him, he had
closed his eyes and was gone. The many
friends Of Mrs. Martin and her daughter and
son, turn to them in deep sympathy in this
their great bereavement. The funeral ser

8 O'clock at Creagerstown, where the inter.
ment will be made.

DEATH OF Jos. f. MARTIN.-On Monday
last Mr.. JOS E. Martin, who for a year or
more has been an invalid, died suddenly a:
his home one mile east of Graceham, on the
Rocky Ridge road. The immediate cause
of his death was complication of Bright's
disease and heart disease. He had been very
ill some months ago, but latterly he seemed
better and was particularly bright and cheer
full during the morning Of the day that death
came to him.
Mr.. Martin was one of the leading farmer
citizens of our district, provident, hard
work ing man and one with whom it was
pleasure to do business as his methods
were always direct and ight.forward.
He was careful man of business and sud-
cessful farmer.
He was member of the Lutheran congre-
CATION at Creagerstown, where his remains
were inferred today.
He leaves a widow and two children. He
was son of the late Jeremiah Martin of
Owens Creek.
Messrs Jas. Firor and Jos Bennett are
now doing the work of THE CLARION office.
Both are graduates of the office and have
had training elsewhere, the former having
spent four years, and the latter six months
in Chicago. They are good printers as the
work on the paper and in the job depart
ment will attest. We will likely find sutfl-
cient time to keep our hand in, for it is with
some regret that we quit sticking" type
and "kicking" and "pulling" the presses.
We have however kept so close to our WORK
that We have almost gotten out Of touch
with the people of this section; we have
spent all or nearly every working day for
more than seventeen years at work, going
nowhere, save possibly to Baltimore, Fred
erlck and Hagerstown on business and with
an occasional day off with rod or gun. In
our new business we shall get to see the PEG.
pie of this section and we hope thereby to
place THE CLARION in closer touch with
them, while we engage their attention in
matters pertaining to the purchase or sale of
real est ate and to life and fire insurance.
