Butler Brothers.

Fred j. and James T. Butler, two
honorable and worthy young men Of

VIM. M. Fosters green grocery and
confectionery store, near postoffice, yes

new venture. The place now has a
good patronage built up by Mr.. Foster,
who conducted the business sixteen
years, but Butler Bros, as that will be
the name of new firm, will no doubt in
crease the trade. Fred will have charge
of the store and James will continue to
run his barbershop. Butler Bros. in

"Where The Laugh Comes In"

In commenting on "Where the
Laugh Comes In," which. appears at
the opera house in this place Monday,
Sept. 30, the Pittsburg Times OF Sept.
10, says: There was big audience last
night at the Empire theater in the East
End, and the people laughed until they
cried. The bill was farce comedy
called "Where the Laugh Comes In"
but the house did not recognize IL as
"gone over" edition OF "Little Puck"
In which Frank Daniels once made a
hit. 1t stuck pretty closely to the story
OF "Vice Versa" as written by f. An
stey. The company worked with will,
and within l5 minutes OF the rise OF the
curtain the members OF the audience
were holding their sides, and by the
end OF the first act their cheeks were
aching from laughter. Charles Fl. Phil
lips, as "Dr. Brown" with whistle in
his speech, caught the fancy OF the gal
lery from his first appearance, and kept
them In roar. w. F. Bryant and Tom
Ripley, as the father and son who
change places, did clever farcical work.
Paul Bordman, typical comedy dude,
also got share Of the applause, and
sang several songs very we'll Hettie
Bernard Chase, a girl who might have
stepped out Of "The AmaZons," provid-
ed background for the comedians and
Vida Keane was funny German maid.
The second act was funnier than the
first, and the whole thing was merry

Masonic Memorial Services.

William Mckinley memorial services
were held in the John NJ. Reed Lodge
rooms in this place last Thursday even
ing. 1t was at first intended that only
Free Masons and members Of Masonic
families were to be invited To these
services, but 1t was finally decided to
make 1t an open meeting. The ball
was full. Judge John w. Reed and
County Supt. Il, b. Teitrick, of Brook
willie, and Rev. Perry A. Reno, of this
place, were the speakers The last two
named made short and spicy addresses,
but Judge Reed delivered long ad-
dress, and those who were fortunate
enough to be present are very enthu-
siastic in their praise of the Judges
speech. Judge Reed is a fluent and
eloquent speaker and he had an ex-
cellent subject-President Mckinley
therefore, there is no doubt but that
the audience heard something very fine.

AN OLD CITIZEN GONE.
George G. Sprague Died at His Home on
Nam Street Thursday.

George Granville Sprague, one of our
highly esteemed and wealthy citizens,
expired at l:l5 p. m. Thursday, Sep
tember 10, 1901. at his residence on
Main street. His death was caused by
bowel trouble. Mr.. Sprague had not
been able to walk around town much
for two years, but was able TO be about
the house until nine weeks ago, when
he fell while walking through his back
yard and struck his head against a
plank, iniuring himself so badly that
he was confined to his bed from that
time until dissolution took place. His
suffering was intense at times, but ne
bore IL patiently He was conscious
until his eyes closed in death. Funeral
services were held at his late residence
at 1000 a. m. Sunday, conducted by
Rev. A. ]. Meek, Phi. D., pastor of the
Baptist church. The mortal remains
were laid to rest at Prospect in the
family burying ground on old home
stead of deceased.
Mr.. Sprague was born in Caledonia
Co., Vermont, February 2, 1918, max
ing him SO years. months and one day
old. In 1892 his parents moved to
the section Of country near Prospect,
then vast wilderness, and located on
what is now known as the Sprague
homestead. In his boyhood days he
had to do the farm chores and walk
three miles to school, but notwithstand-
ing these difficulties, he managed to get
common school education OF those
times. February 27, 1874, George Spra-
que and Miss Prudence Broadhead were
united in marriage. Unto them eight
children were born, seven OF whom,
with the wife, survive the husband and
father, and are as follows: Angeline,
wife of Samuel Bailey, of Soldier, Ed
win. of near Emerickville, Albert and
Walter, of Henderson township, Char
les, on old homestead Mary, wife OF
Asa Phillippi, of Sykesville, Edith,
widow of M. F. Phillippi, who has been
living with her parents since death OF
her husband.
Mr.. Sprague followed agriculturing
and carpentering while able to work.
He was a sober and Industrious man
and was successful in accommodating con-
siderable OF this worlds goods. His
large farm near Rathmel was underlaid
with rich coal vein and about twenty
years ago the Powers, Brown & Co.
opened mine on his land, known as
the Sprague mine, and built railroad
to T., From this coal Mr.. Sprague re-
ceived large royalty, which increased
his wealth rapidly. Fourteen years ago
he bought the large brick house on
Main street, opposite Hotel Mcconnell,
and moved into town to spend his de-
cining years in ease. He bought a
farm for each one of his sons and gave
them good start in life. He also gave
Mrs. Bailey farm.
Mr.. Sprague was kind in his home
life, making him u good husband and
father. He enjoyed his home and was
very seldom away from 1t unless it was
absolutely necessary for him to be
away.
Politically, Mr.. Sprague was a
staunch Democrat, but was not much OF
politician, although he was constable
of Winslow township one term, county
auditor one year, and school director
in Winslow township twenty years
eighteen years in succession. During
the twenty years as school director he
only missed one meeting.

What is known as II creep in the

claim that II it had occurred when the

that there would have been men entom-
