James Farleigh had never taken

James Farleigh suddenly began
to tremble; his face paled and he
broke into a whine.

A NEW FIRM.
". Il. Reed and Il. Il. Lennon Take
Possession of the +. +. Sellman
n Co.. Implement Business.

One of the important business
changes that takes place with the
closing of the old year is the transfer
by f. T.. Sellmal & Co., of their inn
plement business to Messrs. w. B.
Reed and B. f. Lennon, who pur-
chased it some time ago. The new
firms title will be Reed & Lennon.
Sellman & Co. have been in business
in Decorah for the past eleven years,
have always enjoyed good business,
and the firms name is known for
miles around, recognized as one of
the leading retail implement firms of
the state.
Messrs. Reed and Lennon are two
young men of fine business charact-
eristics who will keep the business
up to the high standard it now en-
joys. They are Winneshiek county
products and well known to most ev-
eryone in the county. Mr.. Reed has
been in the insurance business for
the past few years, and Mr.. Lennon
has conducted fine farm in Frank
vile Twp, and is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the machinery business.
He recently moved to Decorah and
is occupying the Mrs. Griswold house
on Broadway.
The old firm will make their
headquarters at the Citizens Savings
Bank for some time, to settle up and
collect bills, and transact such other
business that may be needed. Mr..
Sellman is undecided as to his future
intentions, but will take a deserved
rest for a time. Mr.. Haberly will
spend his time improving his fine
farm near Cresco. but neither fam
|! lily will remove from Decorah, which
will be good news to their many
friends.
We wish the new firm an abun-
dance of success for the future.

SAD DEATH OF YOUNG MAN.
Charles Sexton, Popular Young Bluff
ton Man Accidentally Killed
Christmas Night.

! ne JOYS OF the CHRISTMAS spirit
was turned to gloom for the residents
of Bluffton on Christmas night when
news of the accidental death of
Charles Sexton was spread about. He
! had been spending the evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Court
ney About 1870 he started for
home, driving a single horse to a top
| buggy. There is a ditch some six
feet deep, about 80 rods from the
house, which he had to go by, and he
requested Patrick Courtney to ac-
company him until he got around it,
which he did, taking a lantern with
them. When they got by the ditch
Mr.. Sexton stopped to let Mr.. Court
ney out of the buggy, but before he
could alight safely the horse began
to back and being close to the ditch,
before the boys had time to jump,
they with the horse and buggy were
all precipitated into the ditch. Mr..
Courtney got out from under the
buggy, without much difficulty, only
sustaining few scratches. But Mr..
Sexton was pinned underneath the
horse, and at first didn't seem to be
injured. He requested Mr.. Courtney
to take knife and cut the harness,
but he didn't have any. He then told
him he had one in his pocket, but it
was impossible 10 get it. Being un-
able to extricate Mr.. Sexton alone Mr..
! Courtney started for the house for
help, but when his father and the
rest of the folks arrived Mr.. Sexton
was dead. The harness was cut and
the horse got up Immediately, but
unfortunately too late to save the
life of the young man. 1t was found
afterwards that one of his ribs had
been broken, piercing the heart. 1t
was most distressing fatality and
the sympathy of all is extended to the
bereaved relatives.
The deceased was the son of John
Sexton, who now makes his home in
Cresco. He was born in Bluffton
thirty years ago last October, and
was one of the very best young men
of that community. He was living
on the old homestead in Bluffton
with his brother viii. That he was
held in the highest respect and es-
teen by all who knew him, was evil
denced by the large attendance at
his funeral which occurred Monday
morning at the Catholic church in
Bluffton. 1t was the largest funeral
ever held there, the church being
packed, and great many couldn t
obtain admittance. Reverend Faith
ers Have and Rainier, of Decorah, Of
ticiated, the latter reading the mass
and the former delivering the funer-
al sermon, paying a high tribute to
the departed. The choir from st.
Benedicts Catholic church, of Decor

and Knights of Columbus of Cresco
of which orders the deceased was a
member, were also in attendance. He
