The pupils of Prof. Galliett's school
recently presented him with a gold
watch charm with "Love, Friendship
and Truth" inscribed upon it, which
we presume is emblematic of the l. o.

Professor and his assistants, Misses
Shepherd and Beath, seem to be quite
popular among their pupils.
William Alderman and family were
greatly delighted few days ago on
receiving a letter from his son, Jacob,
who has been eight years in the regu-

term of enlistment expired in Septem-
ber, but he is so well satisfied with the
service and pay of Uncle Sam that he
enlisted for three years longer. He
likes the country and climate there
and is well and hearty.
We are pleased with the enlarge
ment of the NEwS-HERALD and glad

help us we will aim to report all the
events that transpire in this vicinity

terest to the people who read the pa

The remains of Miss j. Effie Red
key. who died at Washington City on
Wednesday of last week, arrived here
on Thursday and were taken to the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Redkey. They were laid to
rest in the Hartman cemetery on Fri
day, after appropriate funeral SER
vices at the family residence, which
was largely attended by relatives and
sympathizing friends. She was born
near this village October 4th, 1861,
and grew to womanhood in our midst,
exhibiting traits of character that
won the admiration of many friends.
She was an acceptable member of the
M. E. Church and modest, unassum-
ing Christian. Several years ago she
went to Washington, and after due
preparation entered upon the occu-
patton of a trained nurse, and soon
became so efficient in her chosen pro-
fession that her services were in con-
slant demand. She died at the home
of her uncle, Byron Millikan, where
she had made her home ever since she
had been in that city, and where dur
ing her protracted illness everything
that anxious, loving hearts could sug-
.gest or medical skill devise was cheer
fully done with the hope of perpetual
ting her useful life, but without avail.
A father, mother, three brothers, two
sisters and host of relatives are be-
reaved by her death.
