The wind caressed fields, decked in
purple and snow white asters and the
lovely golden rod, lay dreamy in the
light of a glorious autumn moon, the
silvery flood of which had SO beauti-
fed the earth that for wandering
mortals thereon to seek or pine for a
happier place seemed base imgrati-
tude to the Creator. Such was the
evening of September %, when Mr..
William Thomas, one of Greeley's
most worthy young citizens, led Miss
Mary Clark, one of the fairest maids
of Hamlin township, to the alter,
where under the breath of divinity
their lives were blended as one. Our
best wishes follow this happy pair to
their beautiful home in. northwest
Greeley. May their future be as
serene as the heavens that smiled up
on them as they knelt with clasp
hands at the alter and made those
sacred and irrevocable vows.
Rev. Geo. Hickok resigned as pastor
of the Union Baptist Church, Sunday
Sept. %. He will however, continue
his labors here until sometime in De-
cember. Mr.. Hickok is one the con-
sistency of whose conduct with his
profession is an armor against which
the darts of calumny and SANDER are
futilely cast; and the people of this
community are one in regretting the
loss of one whose place will be so
difficult to fill. And the fact that
his good wife and older children lend
an energetic hand to every Christian
movement will perhaps make it i'm
possible to wholly replace the loss
but as he and his family are entering
fields of greater usefulness, and as we
realize that the sum total Of good in
this wicked world will be increased
by the change, we can more cheer
fully bear ourselves through the trials
OF parting with those who have
written so pleasantly and indelibly
upon the varied leaves of memories
book.
l heard the showers passing in the night,
l heard the rompng on the meadows green.
The moon peeped through rift and laughed
outright,
And the seven sisters smiled upon the scene
The clouds rolled on, and oh where is the pen
That claims as captive the beauty of that hour
When moonlight baths the autumn woods, and
fen
After the passing of a shower.
