Oldest Enlisted Soldier.

DEBORAH now lays claim to some
thing beside pretty scenery and this
time comes forward with Mr.. A. c..
Ferren as being the oldest enlisted
soldier in the state of Iowa.
Mr.. Ferren enlisted in the navy of
Uncle Samuel and served nearly three
years during the war with Mexico.
He was present at the battle of Palo
Alto and helped scale the fortifica-
tions of the city of Vera Cruz. Dur
ing his enlistment he served on two
United States frigates and was mus
tered out of the service in September
1S4S.
When the war of the rebellion broke
out Mr. Ferren enlisted and was chosen
lieutenant, but after one year S service
his health broke down and he tender
ed his resignation to Gen. Grant per-
sonally. Mr.. Ferren has lived in De-
corah great many years and if he
lives to Dec. II, 1902, he will have
passed his seventy-third milestone.
This he promises to 40, as his general
health is pretty good, being troubled
however, with rheumatism
in his lower limbs. His wife is still
alive and together they live quietly
in their home, which is on Water
street, the principal business street of
the city. Dubuque Times

mr.. JOLLY OF JOLIET.
Will be Seen at the Grand Opera House
Friday Evening, December 10Th.

Musical comedy which is so popular
nowadays, is being presented by
several companies under the manage
ment of Broadhurst q Currie, who
have been universally successful in
providing this style of entertainment
Their latest offering in this line is
from the pen of the talented author,
Chas Newman and is entitled" Mr.
jolly of Joliet. - The story tells of
the many adventures and vicissitudes
of song and dance team who have
seen better days. The theme is bur-
lesqued and treated in highly hrmor-
GUS manner and the author has filled
his skit with witty lines, crisp and
bright dialogue, and has opened up
vast amusing possibilities which he
takes advantage of to work out in a
highly satisfying manner. Much of
the music is original and many clever
specialties are introduced. A large
chorus of handsome girls is used in
all the big musical numbers and do
much to add to the attractiveness of
the presentation.

The annual meeting of the Winnie

One of the most impressive periods
of the meeting was the memorial
hour, devoted to the memory of the
late Geo. Tyler, a prominent member
of the association. An address made
by A. K. Bailey, and papers were read
by Ed. Brakeman and H. A. Bigelow,
each of which were splendid eulogies
and were given with much feeling. A
committee was appointed to draw up
resolutions of respect.

by w. L. Symonds After some APP
Fpropriate remarks by the president,
the meeting adjourned, all present
feeling that they had enjoyed the ses-
siOns and gathered much information

great beyond on Tuesday, the re-
mains being brought to DEBORAH on
Wednesday, and the funeral services
held ON Friday afternoon at one
O'Clock from the United Lutheran

Minneapolis speaking in English, and
the pastor, Rev. ]. o. Haugen, in
Norwegian, interment being in the

to womanhood here. She was
married to Andrew L. Himle, July g.
1880, and they made their home for a
time in Lac qui Parle county, Mimi,
later laoving to Minneapolis, and
still later returning to DEBORAH,
