the Presbyterian church on Mon.
day afternoon. The seating ca
pacity of the church was taxed to
its utmost in order to accommodate
the large attendance OF the friends
of deceased. Mr.. Gordon was
born near Waynesboro, Pa, on
November s, 1867, thus making
his age 81 years His character
was one OF the purest. being noted
for its gentleness and retiring
modesty OF demeanor. He was an
earnest Christian and deeply inter
ested in every branch of Christian
and philanthropic work. His
pastor, Rev. DR.. Robt. Coltman,
delivered the funeral eulogy In
which he testified in the strongest
terms to his high Christian character
and usefulness in the church. The
large audience was deeply moved
by the earnest and tender words Of
DR.. Coltman, in which it was evil
dent that they fully concurred.
His remains were inferred in
Riverview cemetery. The bereaved
family have the tender sympathy
OF the entire community in their
aftiiction.

| II. G. Bourne, of this city, the
Rocky Ford Melon Growers AS
sociation book keeper during the
past season, made few remarks
in his own defense at a recent
meeting of the association, says
the Enterprise.
ale said that when he took
charge OF the books, two or three
days after the shipping season
commenced, he found he could
not balance them owing to mis-
takes made by the inspectors. He
laid the facts before the secretary
and manager who told him to pinch
along the best he could. He ac-
knowledged that he had made mis-
takes, but denied most emphatical-
ly that he had made the over pro-
rating charged against him. He
said that no man living could have
kept the books balanced under the
circumstances
"He cited the case Of one man,
the last two figures of whose
"ao -. AhSRSSt-
or gave him credit for II
crates. 1t was found the largest
one days delivery OF that man was
I3, and that was the number of
crates that were allowed him in
the instance cited. Mr.. Bourne
complained that he had box full
OF tickets made out by inspectors
that no one could read. He reit
Grated the statement that he had
made mistakes, but he did not
think 1t right that he should he
held responsible for mistakes made
by other people. He said only
one inspector had been uniformly
correct in his reports.
"The question was raised as to
whose duty it was to pay the extra
book keepers. Mr.. Bourne in
sisted that it was through no fault
OF his that the books were muddled
and that he conld not be held
liable"
