OUR REMARKABLE WEATHER.

While the weather has been remark
able with us this winter, it has been
even more so in Minnesota and the
Dakotas. AT ST. Paul they have had to
abandon their ice carnival, as they
have had no ice for it. The temperature
has been higher than here in Ohio, and
still continues so, at St. Paul, Bismark
and Helena.

Mr.. Joe Hill Johnston was born on
farm in Monroe township, on the Cham
paign county line, but the house in
which he was born was so near the line
that he was always in doubt, which
county he was born in. Recently,
stones were set, marking the line, and
a few days ago, he sighted from one stone
to another, and nearly turned a somerset
on finding that he was certainly born
on the Logan county side of the line.

DEATH OF JOHN OWEN.


 John A. Owen died last week We'd nesday, Dec. 18th, about eleven p. m., after quite period of illness. He was taken last spring with severe attack of grip which left him with hard cough. Later on he contracted . severe cold, which, in his weakened condition, de- veloped into that most dreaded of all diseases, consumption. However through it all he kept his courage and at no time did he seem to give up hope of his ultimate recovery. John A. Owen was born in Amesville B years ago and has always lived here among us. Of very genial disposition he made friends wherever he went and probably had as wide a circle of sc- quaintances as anyone in town. For the last seven or eight years he had con- ducted livery business but sold the same to William and Richard Leith 8 short time before his death. Ever ready to do favor he will be much missed by all. and especially by the lov- ing sister who did SO much for him dur ing his illness. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, the Rev Mir Graham officiating. At the grave the Masonic fraternity, of which he was 2 member, took charge and the beautiful ceremo. nies of that order were very impressive ly conducted by Past Master Ira D. Traver. The coffin was covered with very handsome flowers; there. was g large horse shoe with dove perched on top, from friends; and very handsome set piece from the Masons, besides a profusion of cut flowers.
