l. F. Reed Dies Suddenly

J. F. Reed proprietor of the City Meat Market, suddenly passed away at an early hour last Saturday morning after a short illness.
 Mir. Reed had lived in this country for number of years and had many friends. His only fault was to his own detriment and proved to be instrumental in bringing about his early demise. He believed that to lead a chris tian life was to be kind to his fellow mortals and this he did to the best of his ability. So let the mantle of charity overhang the mistakes he made in life and letus remember him as a man. true to his word and loyal to his friends. A niece is the only living relative.
