" A. Ksiser


Monday evening at 8 O'Clock, al
ter a long illness of four years, our
esteemed friend and fellow-towns-
man, Mr.. William Aughe Keiser,
gave over suffering and passed to
his reward. On Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock his remains were
laid to rest in East View Cemetery,
his pastor, Rev. r. H. Mahon, of
the NJ. E. Church, presiding with
appropriate remarks.
On January 20, 1S41, the subject
of this sketch was born, in Augusta
County, Va. When a young man
he engaged in farming and teach
ing school. In 1861 and '65 he fol-
lowed Gen. J. E. B. Stewart in the
Civil War. Knowing the man we
feel to say he must have made a
good soldier. The war over, IN
1868. August 20, he was married to
Miss Fannie A Shumaker. In 1876
the family removed to Woodford
County, ILL.,, where the husband en-
gagged in teaching school and farm
ing. Here they resided for ten
years. In 1885 they came to Union
City.
Mr.. Keiser has so lived among us
as to command our esteem. His
life bespoke an honest man-God's
noblest work-and what is more, a
Christian. He was of German de-

SCISSORS EDITORIAL.

Many ministers have resorted TO
various arts and schemes and 1nno-
vations to attract men to their
churches, but with no good or last
ing results. If it be within their
power or capacity, as it surely is
with many of them, let them try
the effect of strong, legitimate,
vigorous sermons, with the written
law as their text and Christianity
as their theme. Let it not be sup
posed that there are no such minis
tiers. There are many of them, Sc
rious, earnest, devout workers in
their appointed fields, and their in
fluence for good is very great. Not

L. S. Parks, purchaser of the

ing of the various documents cover
ering all the legal points OF said
election and the issuance of bonds.
Provision was made to set aside fif-
teen cents on the hundred dollars of
tax assessments for an interest and
sinking fund, and this portion of
the tax levy was considered suffi-
cient to cover principal and interest
of the bonded Indebtedness for the
improvement of the Public High

the date of issuance of the bonds be
changed from June Is, 1901, to July
/, 1901, and the adoption OF a re-
vised form of bonds, including the
same, drawn by the city attorneys.
An amendment was offered to this
effect and adopted. This prevents
accruing of interest while the bonds
are being engraved, a concession
freely offered by Mr.. Parks, at the
same time giving the Board per
mission to draw on him as soon as
the money is needed TO begin oper'
atoms on the building. Then the
change also fixes the date to begin
the first of the fiscal year and the
final expiration OF bonds June 80
