The death Of W. D. Dimmick which

not unexpected, was very sudden at the
last, but perfectly easy and painless.
The funeral occurred Thursday and was
conducted by the Masonic fraternity Of

other places on the premises were re-
splendent with bunting and yellow and
white drapery in honor of the day. Over
one hundred citizens assembled after
dinner and an imprOmptu program was
carried out. Myrtle BrOuse recited an
opening address, descriptive Of the day

read regimental history and delivered
fine patriotic address. He expressed
fOrcibly the duty Of the patriotic Ameri-

administration and brought out clearly
the fundamental principles of the great
est government the sun ever shone upon.
At the close OF his remarks Rev. Black

The program ended by singing "March-
