attacked with grippe which devel-
oped into pneumonia; and while,
in addition to the treatment of a
physician here, DR.. Unger was
brought from Mercersburg, and

continued to grow weaker until
death came on Sunday evening Of
this week.

a daughter, who died nine years
ago.

to Salamanca, N. Y, there to be
inferred by the side of his daugh-

His wife, who came here soon
after he became sick, and minis
tered faithfully and tenderly to
his wants until the end came,
has the sympathy of our people
in this her sore trial.

health up to last Friday. He com
planned some in the evening, but
went to bed feeling better. AT 5
O'Clock next morning he called
the family, grew worse until about
B O'Clock in the afternoon, when he
died.
Mr.. Bratton was member of
the M. e. church about 35 years.

duty as member as long as he
was able to go.

we must all answer the dread
summons some day. "Be ye,
therefore, ready also; for in such
an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh.

he kept it until the bank broke,
and then, of course, it was worth
less.
For many years he lived in a
little house on the site of Mrs. D..
g. Little's store on Main Street;
then he moved into a house on the
farm now owned by G. j. Brewer;
then to the Back Run, trading
that place to Jim Wright for the
little home where he spent the
remainder of his days.
Among his effects in the shantg
after his death were found about
half dozen guns, five revolvers,
three accordions, and a small sum
of money.

Pleasant Grove.

Quite a number of our people
have been suffering from colds;
but when we read the numerous
obituaries that appear in our
newspapers, we are led to realize
that our neighborhood has been
greatly favored-not a death hav-
ing occurred this winter. Let us
not be unmindful of the Savior S
injunction - ''Be ye therefore
ready also; for the Son of man
cometh at an hour when we think
not"
Their many friends here are
pleased to learn that Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel M. Clevenger, who
have, on account of some trifling
matter, been living apart, have de-
cided to forget past differences
and live together during the re-
mainder of the time that their
lives shall be spared.
This is right. May they, from
this time, live and honor the pro.
fession they made more than
thirty years ago when they uni
ted with the membership of the
Pleasant Grove church. Mrs,
Clevenger has been in good stand
ing ever since, except this little
domestic trouble which we now
trust is at an end. Mr.. eleven
ger, through neglect, has allowed
his name to be dropped from the
roll, but has not gone back to the
world as many have done, but has
been attending church and trying
to lead moral and useful life

Lecture on Yellowstone Park

The students of the c. v.
State Normal School enjoyed
a rich intellectual feast on Friday
evening, the first instant. DR..
Joseph f. Barton gave a descrip-
ton of his visit to Yellowstone
National Park last summer. His
description was graphic, minute
and at the same time concise.
Thevariegated colors of the rocks,
the magnificent reflection of the
waters, the awful grandeur Of the
surrounding mountains, theplac-
idity of some of the hot springs,
the terrific upheaval of water in
others, were elegantly portrayed,
and interspersed with amusing
anecdotes. 1t certainly was en-
tertaining and instructive to all
who had theprivilege ofhearingit.
The DR.. completely captivated
his audience. -Shippens burg g

GEORGE L. DANIELS.

The Angel OF Death always
leaves in his wake a trail of gloom
and sorrow to those who are be-
reft Of loved ones, yet, there are,
here and there, instances of his
visitation that are peculiarly sad.
Such is especially the case when
some one is cut down in the
prime of manhood, in the midst
of an active and useful life and one
upon whom others lean for sup
port and comfort.
Last Tuesday afternoon, Will
lam OFT, a lumberman Of Brush
Creek Valley came over and ar
ranged with Mr.. Frank Daniels
who lives on the Mansion farm of
his father, the late John Daniels
near Harrisonville, to go to Way
nesboro and bring over u porta BILE
saw mill engine.
Mr.. Daniels started ON We'd
nesday morning with his hired
man George Schooley, and six
horses, and at McConnellsburg
were joined by Mr.. OFT. They
went to Waynesboro, got the
engine, and returned to Mr..
William Trogler's this side of
Mercersburg where they spent
Thursday night. Friday morn
ing, Mr.. Daniels said he did not
feel well, and Mr.. Trogler offered
to send him home in a buggy, Mr..
Daniels did not think it necessary
and came on with the team. In
crossing the mountain he be-
came quite i'll, but arrived in Nc
Connellsburg about 1 o'clock,
riding the off wheel horse. He
at once, went to the home of his
sister, Miss Mary E. Daniels, on
Water Street, told her he was not
well and asked that physician
be called. Doctors Mosser and
Dalbey were both brought in and
every thing done to afford him
relief; but death came at 4 o'clock
the next afternoon. His remains
were prepared for burial and re-
moved to his late home Sunday
morning. Funeral on Tuesday
morning, Rev. West, assisted by
Rev. Seifert, conducting the SER
vices. Interment at Green Hill
Presbyterian church.
George Franklin Daniels was
the youngest child ofthe late John
Daniels, and was born February
IA, 1847. He was married to
Miss Jennie, youngest child of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. G. Roland
Slpes, on the 3lst day of Decem-
Der, 1879, by Rev. Robert f. Nc
Claim. They have no children.
For sixteen years he has stock
ed and had charge of the home
place, taking care of his aged pa
rents, his father dying about a
year ago, and his mother being
quite an invalid.
The deceased has been a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church
for several years, and his life was
in full accord with his profession.
Quiet and transformations, he was
as honest and honorable as the
day is long, and enjoyed the con-
fidence and esteem of a wide cir
Gle of friends who now mingle
their tears with those of his low
ing wife and devoted mother in
this their great loss.

Of some one. Any one who sends
to a newspaper for publication
anything that in anyway compro-
misses the character of another, is
liable to prosecution, and rightly
too. The parties represented to
have been married are members
of most reputable families; and if
any one had committed the same
offence against the author of the
falsehood, there would have been
big howl. Then, to add injury
to insult, an effort has been made
to create the impressions that the
"bride," so represented, was the
author of the report.
