The convention was called to order
by Supt. f. o. Riggs. In the absence
of the secretary, Miss Anna Uhley, f.
A. Hoyt was chosen secretary pro tenn.
The exercises were carried out in full
as near as possible according 10 pro-

devotional service, after which Rev.
Barton of Postville gave a very able

lowing same was general discussion,
subject, "The Model Sunday School. d
Rev. Gregg of Frankville then
occupied the time for fifteen minutes,
ably discussing the subject, "The

A Golden Wedding.
,IToR PUBLIC OPINION:

EDITOR PUBLIC OPINION:
Last Wednesday was the greatest
day ever known on Washington
Prairie, where Mr.. and Mrs. James
Daniels celebrated the 50th Anniversary
of their wedding. Some three.hun-
dred guests were there, the tables were
loaded with presents, all bearing the
gold standard mark with no Is to l
about it, and the bride and groom
strutted around each with fine gold
watcn and were annoyed every few
minutes by some one asking what
time it was. The table set for the
guests in quantity and quality could
not be surpassed by the skill ana
experience or Delmonico. The Ossian
band discoursed fine music. A pavil-
lion was erected for dancing which
would accommodate thirty-twO and
more If necessary; fine cotillon band
was on hand and some amateur per-
formers not to be sneezed at. The
kodak fiends were numerous and snap
shots were flying in all directions.
When one was aimed at your cores
pendent he made an honorable and
nasty retreat to the rear-probably
laboring under the delusiOn that he
was sufficiently ''shot". A shorthand
reporter was there to take down the
wise and unwise sayings of the
speakers but in my opinion they were
mostly wise.)
Mr.. Daniels is one of the few
surviving heroes of the Mexican war.
Mrs. Daniels is one of the Rosa family,
which consisted of seven boys and two
girls. This family were among the
first settlers in this county and COM
menced with nothing but their hands,
their energy and integrity. They are
now well to do, and after living
among us for generation and a half
no one can say that spot or blemish
can be attached to single member of
the family. ~

Mrs. Johanna Matthes.

Again the death messenger has enter
ed one of our homes in DEBORAH. and
called one of our old citizens to her
reward Mrs. Johanna Matthes, after
several weeks of illness, answered the
last call Sunday, August 26, aged 20
years, 10 months and 26 days. She
was born in Hamburg, Germany,
September 30, 1929. She was twice
married. By her first husband, Fried
erick Kruger, she had three children
-one son and two daughters-who
survive their mother. He second hus-
band was Louis Matthes, to whom she
was married in 1867 at Altoona, Ger
many, and who survives her. In June,
1875, they cane to America and
located at Clayton Center. Iowa; two
years later they removed to DEBORAH.
where they have since resided. The
aged husband, three children and
many relatives and friends mourn her
death. The funeral occurred from her
late home on Tuesday at O'Clock and
was conducted by Rev. Schlung. ~
