place ever since Mr.. Brady has operat-
ed The plant, died very suddenly last
Thursday night, of heart disease De-
ceased was apparently in good health
and attended an entertainment at the
opera house during Thursday evening.
Not getting up at his usual time, his
daughter, Mrs. j. F. Wright, at whose
home he resided, went to his room to
call him when she was Mortified to find
him dead-having died evidently with
out struggle. Deceased was born at
Hanover, Pa, and had he lived until
Feb. 22d, 1908, would have been 81
years of age. For over thirty years he
was employed as a railroad engineer
and for eighteen years had charge of
one of the Pennsylvania passenger en-
gines. Mr.. Lilly was always faithful
worker upright and honest in all his
dealings, kind father and of a loving
disposition. During his residence in
Emporium he made many friends. He
leaves two daughters-Mrs. Robt
Flemming, of Wharton, n. j., and Mrs.
j. T. Wright, Emporium.
His remains were taken to his old
home at Hanover, Pa, on Sunday
night Flyer, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. T. Wright. The funeral was
held from Hanover st. Johns Ger
man Reform Church, on Tuesday.

popular, viewed his remains Sunday

A Beautiful Life Ended.

On Saturday, December 14th, the
community was startled and grieved
by the announcement of the death of
Miss Alberta Tweed, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Tweed, from that dread
disease of smallpox. On the evening
OF the same day, as the twilight was
deepening, the casket, covered with
beautiful flowers from sympathizing
friends, was tenderly born from the
desolate home, and inferred with brief
religious services by the side of a
brother who parished in the Spanish
war. On Sabbath morninga memorial
service was held in the PRESBYTERIAN
church, of which she was a member
Many sorrowing friends were present,
and the service twas tender and solemn
The family was represented by a single
member for obvious reasons, but the
whole assembly was in sorrow for the
dead and in sympathy with the living.
In connection with the usual funeral
hymns the hymn "No Night There, 4"
was sung as duet by Misses Enda lr-
win and Bessie Cornmesser, a couple of
her intimate friends.
An appropriate sermon by her pastor
and one of the saddest and most
impressive funeral services that ever
took place in our town was ended.
The deceased was about twenty
eight years old. She was attractive in
person, chaste in speech, gentle and
modest in manner and beautiful in life.
Her parents with two brothers and one
sister survive her. Her sad death will
be one of the painful memories of a
lifetime to her friends, but her death
was the hope of a blessed immortality.

That Election Contest.

The Independent and it's curbstone
editors appear to take delight in it's eff
fort to endeavor to belittle the editor
of this journal. Our people have be-
come so familiar with the ear marks of
the smart chap who inspires the beauti-
full productions that all goes into one
ear and out the other and is lost. We
are content to rest our csse before the
proper tribunal, believing that justice
will be done all concerned. Just one
word to the responsible Independent
editor: During the years that we have
managed this paper we have refrained
from publishing personal slurs and,
although our safe contains some matter
that would look beautiful (?) in print,
we shall not lower the standard of
clean journalism. During our residence
OF thirty-five years in Cameron county
we feel that no amount of personal
abuse at the hands of few carpet bag
gers, and hangers on at the public
crib, will have any weight with the
sensible people of the county. The
better element of our citizans are de-
termined to wipe out thes curse that
has inflicted orr people during the
past six or eight years. If we are to be
denied honest elections without inter
ference from outside influence, it will
be useless to hold elections. Nuff sed.
