j. IL. Muffley Monday announcing the
death of their son-in- law, Rev. II. M.
Hackney, which occurred at the home
of his parents at Ashland, Neb., at
11:04 A. NJ, Sunday. Deceased was
well known here and on a number of
occasions occupied Boscobel pulpits

age and his death was due to CON-

for naught. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of all in their affection.

coffee by groceryman. But strange
to say tits not looked upon in that
light at all. vet eyervbody knows that
