The remains of Gordon e. Mitchell
who departed this life Saturday. morn
ing after a lingering sickness termin-
ating in typhoid fever, were brought
from Marshalltown to Somers Sunday
morning for interment in the old family
lot In Oakwo3d cemetery. The de-
ceased was the youngest son of MT
and Mrs. John Mitchell, deceased. He
was born in Somers Sept 10, 1860. For
the past twenty years he has been en-
gagged in the railroad business as tele-
graph operator and train dispatcher.
Recently with the Central railroad, of
Iowa, at MarsballtoWn, where just
prior to his death he was promoted to
chief train dispatcher of their road.
Always Of a kind disposition endowed
with a quick active mind, he made
pleasant companion and true friend,
man in whom his employers had the
| highest confidence aud those under
him the kindest regard. Had the de-
ceased lived till the 25th of June he
would have been united in marriage to
one of Marshalltowns most estimable
ladies. The services at the Presbyter-
ian church Sabbath afternoon were
largely attended. The Rev. Browns
remarks were we'll chosen and full of
comfort to the many mourning friends.
Gordon is gone, Tut the many hours
spent in social intercourse and other
wise with this companion of years are
recalled by the writer as being among
memory's most pleasant recollections.

we ought 20 Celebrate

Our nations birth was a great, a mo-
.mentous event. The highest human
freedom and guaranty Of civil rights
came with it. 1t is our duty to call to
mind the blessings of our government
and rejoice. Tt is our duty to meet to-
gether in great crowds and rejoice to-
gether. It is a duty we owe to our
selves, our children. and our fellow
citizens. No man with a proper regard
for his duty and a decent regard for the
opinions of his neighbOrs will stay at
home and work to add dollars to his
gains on this great public day. The
Old Settlers grounds at PaddOck's lake
are unequalled as a place ofgathering.
The appointments are almost perfect.
Hon. James L. O'Connor, of Milwau-
kee, will discourse to US. Nature has
endowed him with rare gifts Of oratory
and eloquence which he will use in Civ
ing expression to patriotic sentiments
which should animate every soul. Let
us 90 to Paddoek's Lake on Monday,
july 5. filed with the patriotic intens
ton of recounting our civil blessings
and calling to mind some Of the glor-
ious incidents connected with the birth
and growth of this great nation, Of
which we are units. Let us all come
together and rejoice. Master Munson
Paddock will give in his recitation,
expression to some stirring patriotic
sentiments, and in q style that is very
attractive. The Antioch band Of eigh
teen pieces will be on hand in the
morning and discourse fine music
throughout the entire day. If there
were only the music with it's patriotic
numbers it would be richly worth the
days time.
Come as early as you can, and Let us
rejoice and be glad all day
