In MemmOrian.

Death again calls US to pause
amid our busy and pressing Ia
bors and remember that 10 life
we are IN the midst os death. One
by one our friends, neighbors,
and associates have fallenamongst
us and are numbered with the
dead, and we have borne them
mournfully away to their last
resting places.
On Monday, the 10th inst, all
that was mortal of John Weaver
was LAID to rest in the Tonoloway
Baptlst cemetery followed by a
large concourse of sOrrowlng
friends.
The sun of 76 summers had
shone down upon him, and he fell
by the wayside weary with the
march of life.
He was born in Germany, and
came from the Fatherland when
9 years old, and settled with his
father very near Hancock, Nd,
where he resided to the date of
his death, when by industry he
accumulated sufficient for the
needs of this life.
He was twice married-his first
wife being Nancy Souders, of
Tim Der Ridge or Plum Run, by
which union five boys still live TO
mourn the loss of a kind father
namely, William, Charles, George
Jacob and Arthur, all residing
near Hancock.
His second wife was Catherine
Everts, by which union four chll-
dren are livlng-Joseph Weaver,
proprietor of the Arlington Hotel,
Cumberland, Md; Abner, of
Thompson township; Benjamin
and Annie B. at home. Four sis.
ters, Margaret Miller, Quincy,
ILL.,; Barbara Hixson, Waynes-
boro, Pa; Mrs. Ellen Carpenter,
Hancock, Nd; and Mrs. j. H. FL.
Lewis, Franklin Mills, Pa.
One of the chief characteristics
OF the make up of the subject OF
this article was unscrupulous
honesty IN dealing with his fellow
men, and strict attention to his
own business, IN no way meddling
with that of others. He had
strong convictions of the right as
God gave him to see the right.
He has answered the messen.
ger whose summons we must all
sooner or later obey. He now
lies peacefully IN shady dell in
the cemetery In sight of his late
home.
The birds will sing their carols
in the leafy branches above his
grave, and the voice of sacred
praise will come forth in sweetest
notes from the old church near
whose shades they have laid him,
there to rest until that great day
when the dead shall rise to take
their fight to that better and
happier world beyond.

A Gig RECEPTION
Is Waiting the Pittsburg Orchestra
on Its Arrival in Akron.

When the Pittsburg Orchestra
comes to Akron November Fl, the di-
rector, Mr.. Emil Paur, and members
Of the organization will receive an
enthusiastic reception. The orches-
ira will give the first symphony con-
cert of the season and no organiza-
ton of artists is more popular with
Akron people than the members of
the Pittsburg Orchestra.
Akron has been visited every year
by these famous artists for the past
10 years and 1t is an event to which
Akron's music-lovers all look forward
to with a sense of satisfaction.
The fall tour Will take the orches-
ira into the principal cities OF Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan and Akron will
be the second city visited, the first
concert being given in Youngstown
on Nov. 20.
No organization has won so much
honor as this, which has made the
city of Pittsburg famous for her ar
lists and since Emil Paur has been
directing the concerts, they have taken
on an added degree of perfection. Mr..
Paur is not only the country's fore
most conductor, but is also pianist,
with but few peers.
The soloist for the Akron concert
will be Mr.. Henry Bransen, 'cellist,
of the first rank and who will no
doubt win many admirers upon his
first visit to this city. Akron Times

DURANT is HONORED BY VISIT
FROM PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

proud TO have the President with
us and proud that Durant showed
her patriotism in such glowing
colors.
In the language of the Musko-
gee Phoenix we would say:
president Roosevelt is a man
so intensely American in every
fiber that his name has be-
come synonymous with the great
est nation the sun shines on.
Theodore Roosevelt is loved no
less on the boundless ranches of
the West than in the humming
factories of the East. No less in
the COW camp than on the college
campus. No less in the army
than in the house of worship, no
less in the navy of the seas than
on the western plains. He is a
scholar among scholars, a ranch
man among ranchers, a states
man among statesman, a college
chum among college men, SOL
der among soldiers, and an
author among authors"
