THE SPANISH WAR.

Cuba, "Pearl OF the Antilles, though

prosperous under the rule imposed up
on her viz, - the Spanish rule. Time
after time the Cuban people, both white
and black, had struggled to throw off this
yoke. the last Of these strugg es began
in February 1895 Though spain sent,

Deceased was born in Pittstown
Reno county, N. Y. In early child
hood he came with his parents to Otis
co where he grew to manhood. At the
age OF II he was married to Priscilla
Bedding. Twelve years ago she was
suddenly called to higher life without
a moments warning, leaving husband
and children grief stricken; but the
positive knowledge OF future life and
spirit return comforted him as he
walked the remainder OF hfe's journey
alone. Spiritualism was his religion.
He was firm, true, and wavered not,
firmly holding to the end, and was re-
spected by his many friends. A good
citizen and honorable man. He was
unconscious his last few hours but was
tenderly watched by his aged father
and three daughters, one son, and few
friends. His request was that Miss
Sheets OF Grand Ledge should speak
and tender TO the loved ones consolation
which the gospel of spiritualism alone
affords the bereaved heart.
Services at the home on Sunday and
his remains brought to Otisco and laid
TO rest by the side of his wife and
daughter.

The water has been drawn from the

old mill dam has stood the wear and
tear Of floods and log drives for the
past 20 years with but slight fixing uI
during all that time. The upper tim.

for several years, however, and it was
thought best by the Richardson Silk
Co. to take this time to make it solid

as solid as rock and the heavy new
timbers they are putting in will hold
