Mr.. j. n. Kearse Burned Out.

Mr.. J. H. Kearse, hard-workine
young farmer Of the Keapse section
was burned out last Thursday morn
ing about two o'clock. He lost his
dwelling and it's entire contents, and
his insurance will not near cover the
loss. Mr.. Kearse does not know how
the fire originated, but it is supposed
rats caused it. He had been up sew
eral times during the night with his
sick children, and when he was awak-
ened by the fire, the family barely
had time to get out before the roof
fell in. He had insurance of 81, 1000
on the building and 5000 on furni-
ture, and his loss is at least. $4,000
or more.
Kind friends and neighbors soon
gathered and assisted in saving the
outbuildings, and he desires to heart
lily thank his friends for their many
kindnesses. This misfortune is
hard blow to Mr.. Kearse, and his
friends deeply regret his loss.

Tribute of Respect.

Inasmuch as death has removed
from our midst our highly esteemed
and much beloved brother, Conrad
Ehrhardt, who was for over fifty
years a member of this council, and
whose Judgment was for a half CEN
tury most important in directing this
council unto the right; therefore be
it resolved:
First. That we bow in submission
to him who doeth all things well.
Second. That in the hour of trial
we tender to Mrs. Ehrhardt and other
members of the family our heartfelt
sympathy.
Third. That we will ever cherish
the memory of his strong personality,
faith, church love and loyalty.
Fourth. That we commend his
unwavering service; his close attend
ance to all church service; his liber-
ality toward every call of the church
for home and abroad; his deep in
terest and work in the Sunday-school,
as a most noble example to the young
of our pastorate.
Fifth. That these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes, and that
copies be sent to the Lutheran Church
Visitor, The Bamberg Herald, and
the Bamberg County Times for publ
cation.
