LOVELY YOUNG MOTHER.
Mrs. c. A. Mclaughlin Dies OF
PeritOnitiS.

Sunday afternoon friends were re-
joicing over the birth of a baby
daughter which had come to brighten
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. a. Nc
Laughlin. Mother and child were
doing well and the future was beau
tifully bright. Monday about noon a
change came and the mother was
seized with peritonitis. Her condi-
tion grew alarming. Relatives were
sent for, and Tuesday night the little
babe was motherless.
Mrs. Grace Gertz Mclaughlin was
a lovely woman. Not yet nineteen
years of age, she had been a happy
wife a year and four months. Quiet,
conscientious, christian-a faithful
member of the Baptist church. She
was devoted companion to her hus'
band and her.
Her early death is one of Gods
mysteries. The young husband has
the deepest sympathies of a large
circle of friends.
The funeral services were held al
the home, on Sandusky avenue,
Thursday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. w. Fl. Buckles and Rev. G. E
Davies.
Mr.. Mclaughlin and the little
daughter will find a home with Judge
J. ID. Mclaughlin and wife.

ITO the Senate: I have called the

Death of Aunt Mary Stdrret.

Mrs. Starret, familiarly known as
"Aunt Mary" died at the Infirmary,
Wednesday morning, aged So years.
Funeral services we're held by her pas
tor, Rev. G. E. Davies, Thursday at pl
m. Mrs. Sterret is well remembered
by many of our citizens, having lived
for number of years in the Melodeon
building. "Aunt Mary's" life was a
sad one. She was left a widow but a
few months after her marriage.
Then baby Anna came to bless the
mother. She grew to womanhood
and became the wife of the late Gov.
w. v. Marquis. After a few years
she was taken and the mother was
again alone. More than a year ago
she sustained a fractured hip, from
which injury she never recovered.
The remains were buried in the
city cemetery, in the Marquis lot, by
the side of her beloved daughter.

The New Milk and Ice Com
pdny Expect to Give
The People
Pure. Clean Milk. At the Old
Price.
No Monopoly. Nobody Compelled
To Go Into II.

The managers of the new Milk and
Ice Company feel that the people
have not understood the character
of their enterprise, and wish to be
put right before the public.
They have purchased very fine ma
chinery to pasteurize milk, and they
expect to sell to our citizens the
cleanest, purest, sweetest milk they
ever drank.
They expect to invite your own
family physicians to test it. and If
they do not say it is the best milk
they ever drank, none will be ask
ed to buy it. "Cleanness and
purity" will be their motto.
They have put up many tons of
good ice, which will enable them to
preserve their milk and cream from
taint and souring, and they will be
able to sell their customers the
purest of lake ice for household use.
They expect to buy all the milk
produced in this section that they
can get, and to bring thousands of
gallons here, from other parts of the
| county.
They have established no monopoly,
and have only secured the product of
one dairy in this vicinity. The 9th
ers are free to sell to their old GUS
toners or to bring their product to
the new factory. as their own inter
ests will determine best. When there
are 80 many acres of grass and so
many COWS can be had, there can be
no monopoly. If people want milk
after the old fashion, there will al
ways be dairymen to supply them.
The new idea can only succeed upon
| its merit.
The new company is made up of
our own citizens. They will do a
large business, getting much of their
milk from other localities, selling
much of their product in cities, and
bringing the profits to our city to be
taxed, to be invested, to help our
business, to promote our prosperity,
and to build up our city.
There is nothing in all this to
frighten anybody. There is much
to commend it to all right think
ing men and good citizens.
Envy nor jealousy, nor thoughtless-
ness should be permitted to injure
any institution, that will promote
the best interests of our city. Every
Encouragement should be given to
Capitalists to locate their factories
in our city. None are so sure to stay
with US, as those organized by our
own citizens.
