| Sun says:
| Miss Mathews has resided in Schuyler
| since mereSt girlhOOd and was ever of such
quiet and winsome disposition, and Of such
strong character, as to draw unto herself an
unusually wide and strong circle of friends,
fewer enjoying heartier and more manifest
expressions Of the feelings of esteem in
which they are held than she. In church
| and social work her influence was marked
in such degree that the measure thereof
| will be fully realized and felt only upon its
withdrawal when she shall have severed
completely her connection with all her
| church and social relationships in Schuyler.
Mr.. Spiece is quite we'll known locally,
| through his work in the district court as
reporter for Judge J. G. Reeder, standing
high in the favor of all those who have sus-
tained any degree of business relationship
| with him.

| presents was received, consisting of beauti-
full pieces and sets in solid silver and cut
glass, and hand painted china, chafing dish,
together with the gifts received at the
"shOWers," made a collection worthy the
| envy of the most fastidiOus.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Spiece contemplate return
ing from their trip in two weeks or more,
later to take up their home in Columbus.
