place on "Wednesday. Feb. 2S, 1900. While
the long and severe illness of Mrs. Gar
rison extending over a period of three
years, had prepared her faithful and de-
voted husband, children, relatives and
friends for the worst, yet her demise has
completely crushed those near and dear
to her. Her life was a beautiful exempli-
fication uf true wOmanho, d, her long ILL
ness a demonstration of her fOrtitude.
She bOle pain smilingly and viewed death
without alarm, for she was prepared to
meet it whenever the summons came.
Mrs. Garrison was but 40 years old. Be-
sides her husband leaves two children,
mother, five sistprs-Mrs. Geo. w Brown
and Mrs. Geo. Garrison of Hornellsville,
Mrs. Frank Smith of Painted Post, Mrs.
Walter Phillips of Dundee, and Mrs. NJ.
Andrews of this place, and two brothers.
A very touching incident took place near
the bier of the dead woman the day fol-
lowing her death. The grief stricken
husband stood beside it gazing upon the
face of her whom he loved so dearly.
Tears were trick ing down his cheeks and
beside him was his little thirteen year
old daughter. The latter looked up and
taking his hand in hers said. "Papa
don't feel so badly, for we have much to
live for in the hope of seeing dear mamma
in heaven, where l know she has
gone.' Could anything better demon
strate the teaching of a good mother?
Mrs. Andrews returned home on last
Tuesday with her nsice, Miss Pearl Gar
rison, who will evidently make her home
here since her mothers death.
Capt, J. ]. Haight and j. W. Black,
both of Howe Twp, and both aspirants
for legislative honors, were in town over
Monday night looking up their Republi-
can friends. This reminds us that Re-
publican primaries will soon be here.
Mrs. Southworth of Newtown Mil, an
invalid old lady, died at the residence of
w. f. Jones on Tuesday and was buried
at Town Line cemetery on Thursday of
last week.
Mrs. Sue Bean of Endeavor, who has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. G. South
worth, OF the Kingsley House, for the past
three weeks, returned home last Monday.
She was accompanied by her niece, Miss
Bell Southworth, who will make her a
visit
A large majority of the townspeople
met at the residence of Mrs. L. d. Miller
on Thursday evening and rendered a sur
Prise to Richard and Flora Miller, who on
Saturday were 10 and II years old respec-
lively. The party was given two days
ahead so as not to interfere with other en-
joyables of somewhat sirnilal nature.
There were fifty responded to invitations
and the night being lovely everyone en-
joyed themselves. Quite display oil
presents were given to show the donors
friendship.
There is to be a regular old time quilt
ing bee at Mrs. John Wilson's on next
Friday. All the ladies who have learned
to manipulate that small but useful arti-
Gle, the needle, are cordially invited to
come, and those that wish it will be al
lowed the privilege of dancing in the
evening.
A large part of our merry goers were
up to Porkey hall to attend a general
dance on Friday given by the U. s. soci-
ETY..
