No. A, near Twin Lakes, was in
Saturday and paid his subscription
to the Republican. He says he has
taken the paper for the past twenty
five years, and has not missed a
copy, and never had any intention
of letting it stop coming to his
home. May he live many years, and
still keep on taking the Republican.
Col. F. w. Williams had a sale of
his household goods at the corner Of
Michigan and CAIRO streets Saturday
afternoon. They had received word
that some of his wife's folks in
Wisconsin are sick, and she had to
go and care for them. Mr.. Williams
thought to keep house alone, or to
store his goods, would cost more
than to sell them outright, and when
his wife came back in the spring buy
new things. He will stay here and
cry sales as usual, and does not in
tend to leave the city.
Chas. Deemer, who is now a rail-
! road engineer, living at Peru, was
called to Lake Odessa, Michigan, on
account of the serious illness of his
mother, who is now the wife of
Thomas Leake. The Deemer family
used to live in Marshall county,
years ago, and for a number of
years before her marriage, Mrs.
Leake lived in the house just north
of the Wesleyan church on Pearl
street, which she owned at that time.
Her daughter, Pearl Deemer, whom
many will remember, is with her
mother, caring for her through her
sickness. Mr. Deemer SAYS that his
mother is now thought to be getting
better.

ia Alonzo T. Slayter on Easter Sun

death is not only a great loss to
her family, but the whole community,
and her wider circle of friends here

deep sense of their loss. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy of
all.
