Death of E, K. Sanford.

Mr.. E. K Sanford, one of the best known
shoe clerks in OwOssO, died very suddenly
at the breas fast table Wednesday morning
Of neuralgia OF the heart. He was nearly
sixty years of age. NJ Sanford mad been
occasionally troubled with poor health for
some time past but had seldom been Obliged
to give up his work aud then only for a
short time. Last Saturday he had a bad
spell but finished out his days work at Muir
ray IL Terbushs store, and as it turned out,
his last days work. MIR. Sanford had been
a resident Of st. Johns for a long time at
one period Of his life and was member of
the ST. Johns Masonic lodge and chapter.
lie had also kept shoe store in Muir for
several years. He had been twice a resi-
dent of OwOssO, the last time for period
OF about fifteen years, and had been en-
ployed by +. l.. Brewer but for several
years past he has been In the employ of
Murray & Terbush. He leaves besides a

Let 1t be- Comple,e-Just Few More Days
in Which to Provide for the Epworth
Leaguers.
The work of securing entertainment
for the six hundred delegates which
are expected to be here before another
issue of this paper is printed, has been
nearly completed so far as the canvass
of places are concerned, but there is
still abundant opportunity for the show
ing of Owosso hospitality among the
members of other churches than the
Methodist and among the better class
of citizens, tho conn ected with no
church, who are nevertheless interested
in any such public event as this big con-
vention will be.
At the end of a canvass it always hap
pens that there are many who could
we'll take two or more delegates and
who would do so If their attention we're
properly called to it, but who are not
on the entertainment committees list.
On the other hand there are some of
those who are on the list who have
offered to take twice as many as they
ought to in proportion TO their room
and ability, but who did 1t to ensure
the success of the canvass. So II you
can take one or more delegates as well
as not. notify the chairman of the enter
tainment committee. Mr.. l.. d. Wilson,
at once and help Owosso make good
impression on the visitors to our city.
Let every one come to the aid Of our
Methodist friends In way that will
show Owosso united on every vital
matter of public interest and that will
show Owosso's hospitality in the best
fRht.
