At the residence of Mrs. Amanda
Price, on Myers Creek some three
miles east of Bogue Chitto, on Dec.
26th the writer attended a family re-
union, which was one of the most
pleasant and enjoyable occasions of
his life. Besides the undisturbed So
cial enjoyment with host of relations
and friends of the most model type
that Lincoln county can produce,
there was Ito our exquisite gratifica-
tom long table in the yard of the
old home and it was laden with edibes
of the first quality and in abundance
too great to be consumed by the num-
Der present. Some gifts for the com
fort of old age, presented with child
like affection were received with a
mothers appreciation.
Mrs. Price, who is now 70 years old,
was married to Emanuel Price lone
of the best men God ever made) about
56 years ago. They lived in happy I'M
ion about 20 years and had children
born unto them, boys and girls
William, Jesse, David, Emanuel, Eliza
beth, Jane, Mary and Susan, all now
living except Jesse. After her first
husband died in 1864, Mrs. Price was
again married to James Price, noble
man, who died leaving her with two
other children, Theodore and Burnley
both now living. Since this time Mrs.
Price has lived at the old homestead
in honorable widowhood and reared a
family exceptionally good and clever,
none of whom ever did a mean thing
to bring into disrepute the fair name
of their parents or themselves. Now
summing up this family, of which our
splendid w. C. Price is the eldest son,
there are 10 children, living present
at the reunion. All of the children
are happily married and 8 of their
companions were present. Mrs, Price
has so grandchildren, II present; she
also has 80 great-grandchildren and 30
were present.
1t was always pleasure to acknowl-
edge kinship with this family and since
the enjoyments of the pleasant day
with them in their old home, the pleas
ure revives with increased magnitude.
If we never meet with aunt Manda
and her family again "beneath the blue
vaulted sky" we anticipate meeting
in the sweet bye and bye.

In most beautiful and appropriate
manner Mr.. and Mrs. M. ID. McGrath
celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of
their welded lives on the evening OF
the 3Oth, by calling together their nu-
merous relatives and few intimate
friends at their elegant home. There
were near two score of the former
present; while among the latter were
numbered four of the bridesmaids OF
the happy occasion of fifteen years
ago. These were Mrs. John H. John
son, formerly Katie McGrath, Mrs. j.
F. Miazza, nee Mamie Flood, Misses
Annie Schnorrenberg and Dele Storm.
A choice menu was served charmingly
in the handsome dining hall, where
toasts were eloquently given by the
gentlemen present, Mr.. Devereaux act
ing in the capacity of POSTMASTER. The
gifts of costly cut glass we're of ex-
ceeding beauty and richness; but none
we're more highly appreciated by the
beloved and lovely young "bride" and
hostess of the evening, than was the
800 check from the groom" bearing
the following original inscription
which, to the recipient doubtless add
ed much to its value:
DARLING LEoNTINE:
met you and loved you,
wooed you and won
Some fifteen joyous summers
| Since then have swiftly run.
| Ten darling little children
| Have blessed our union dear,
And our love 1t groweth fonder
With the dawn of each New Year.
| Sharers in the joys of the occasion
we're Mr.. and Mrs. s. n. Storm, whose
marriage took place simultaneously
with that of Mr.. and Mrs. McGrath
The youthful and handsome appear
ance of both couples brought forth
many pleasant comments that 'Timt
with fairy feet" had touched them SC
gently. May another fifteen years FIND
them still in the enjoyment of home
and friends, health, strength, and al
that goes to make life worth living.
May each to each grow dearer
/ AS earth recedes and Heaven
Draws nearer.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consttu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an i'll
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Information can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they can not eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is
to use the preparation known as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. 1t digests what you
eat and restores all the digestive or
gans to perfect health. G. E. Grafton

DEAD ON HIS WAGON.
Joseph H. Dague Dies Suddenly
on Kansas Avenue Bridge.

Joseph H. Dague dropped dead this
morning at o'clock while crossing the
Kansas avenue river bridge.
Dague drove to q mill in North To-
peka for a load of cobs to sell from his
wagon on the street. He was crossing
the bridge and just as he reached the
south end he fell backward his load
dead. In falling he jerked the lines and
stopped the team. A few moments later
a passerby noticed the team standing
on the bridge and the driver lying pros
trate on the wagon. On examination
he was found to be dead.

Mr. Dague was a native OF Pennsyl

vania cavalry He moved to Kansas
q years ago, and settled near Holton,

Mr. Dague was 6S years old, and his
sudden death was probably due to heart
failure.

PRAISE FOR ROBERTS.
BaIfour Turns the Tide in Fa-
vOr of Lord g Bobs."

New York, Aug. Recommending upon
the debate in the house of commons upon
the proposition to grant Lord Roberts
one hundred thousand pounds. the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune says:
Mr.. Balfour in moving the grant told
in simple language how critical was the
situation after the defeat of Colenso and
Magersfontein and explained the boldness
and originality of the strategy by which
Lord Roberts relieved Kimberley and La
dysnaith and entered Bloemfontain after
a perflous and ezhausting march across
a. barren country. He paid also an elo-
uuent tribute to the intuition, genius
and cheerful courage which enabled Lord
Roberts to press on TO pretoria with naII
his force and three and a half days sup
plies when his hesitat ton would have IN
vOlved a prOtracted siege. No other En-
gliShman has been equally candid In ad-
hitting the deplorable and rulnous con-
sequences from which the British en>
pire was delivered by the genius and
courage Of General Roberts.
The speech made SO profound an inn
preston on the commons that the objec~
the radical members were heard with inn
patience and irritation Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman was patriotic enough 10
second Mr.. Balfour'S proposal with gen.
ufne Scotch sincerity. Lord Roberts pop
ularity has been waning under the I'M
ceasing pressure of pessimism which has
accompanied the protracted guerrilla
abandoned the field without bringing the
war to an end. Mr.. Balfour's eloquence
will restore his pre-emlnence as the
greatest living soldier.
