The Hot Springs Star says +. N.
~Fessenden, an old civil war vet
eran, formerly a member Of the Home,
died Tuesday in the shack occupied by
John Fields and G.. A. Crosby near the
Northwestern freight depot. He had
been confined to the house for sometime
and death was the result Of alcoholic
poison. Deceased had been in the city
for a number OF years and had many
friends who regret his untimely death.
All we know of his family is that he has
a son living in Wisconsin. Interment
took place in the Soldiers Home ceme-
terry Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Fessen-
den was for several years a resident Of
Custer before he moved to Hot Springs.

Though Thanksgiving Day is over, a
few items abou: the Thanksgiving SER
vice in the Nj. T.. church are not out Of
place in this issue. The church was
tastefully decorated with notices, flow
era, vegetables and fruit, emblematic of
peace, plenty and prosperity. Large
sheaves of grain flanked the altar each
side. On one side of the wall were
many pictures e%mbodying scenes in the
Christ life, and above it an appropriate
sentiment. On the opposite side en-
blems of patriotism hung. On a table
was a carefully selected number of rep
resentative books ~surmounted by the
Bible and an appropriate quotation. To
the enthusiastic work Of the pastor and
his wife was added the efficient keep Of
a number of members and friends Of the
church. Certainly the church never
looked 80 pleasing in holiday attire.
The congregation was the largest assem-
bled in years at a Thanksgiving service
in Custer. A solo by Miss Willis was
followed by a helpful and inspiring SER
mon by Rev. Powell. A good collection.
was taken, which goes to the assistance
of the needy poor.
