One pair of twins had marked an

and see before she was honored with

estimation, to be designated as any.

Expression of Sorrow

At a meeting of B. r. Palmer Post
G. A. r. the following was unan-
imously adopted.
We feel keenly the loss to this Post
in the death of Past Commander N.
H. Miner. During many years he
has been OF great service to the Post
in giving advice and performing SER
vices in legal matters, necessary in
the management of our CITY property
and the cemetary. AS a comrade,
while modest and retiring, he was al
ways genial and companionable. His
patriotism was sincere and genuine;
love of country was in him almost
passion. His record as soldier
was faultless. He has left void in
our ranks, that will be almost i'm
possible to fill. We tender our sincere
sympathy to his widow, who for many
years has worked so faithfully in the
W.R.C. and to whom the Post is under
many obligations for assistance in
Memorial Day and other exercises.
We direct that the charter of the
Post be dropped for thirty days, that
these expressions be spared upon the
Post and copy furnished Mrs. Miner.

MRS. C. H. BRONsON'S RECITAL

Mrs. Y. ii. BRONSON' > REClTAL
Mrs. G. H. Bronson gave a recital
at the Methodist church on Tuesday
evening. The people felt so sure of
an unusual treat in store, that they
came through pouring rain and driv-
ing storm, wearing storm coats and
carrying umbrellas. And they were
more than pleased; they were de-
lighted. Mrs. Bronson has voice of
wide range, exquisite sweetness and
great power. Her articulation was
especially fine. Every word was dis
tinct and Ineligible. The people of
Sank Centre are justly proud of Mrs.
Bronson's artistic ability, her long
residence in our city making us feel
keen interest in her success. The
recital was one of the very finest
musical treats ever given a Sank
Centre audience. Miss Maud White
was the accompanist, and her work
added greatly to the success of the
entertainment.
