Death has made sad ravages in Deni-

has been no epidemic and the general
health of the community is good, but
the angel of death has gathered to his
fold two of our citizens in the ripeness
of years, and one young spirit has
found rest after months of mort. com
bat with that dread disease, consump-
ton.

man, alone in the world, after SO many
years of kindness, went TO join his

What a reunion it will be and what
