Saturday morning early the death
angel took the soul Of his wife from
the body and she, too, bad passed into
the great beyond. Samuel, Of the U.
S. Army, and Mr.. Geveland's son
got in Thursday night Mr. Ceve-
lands body was laid 10 rest in the
Liberty cemetery on Friday and hers
on Sunday. Both possessed traits Of
IA Christian character which led their
friends TO believe their hope for a
better world was bright. Sixty SUM
mers had he lived, and she not quite
SO many. Sam and Sebesta are the
Isurvising children with brothers and
sisters and a host Of friends do they
leave. Mrs. Gibbs her sister, is dan
~gerously i'll CT pneumonia, the dread
ed monster that swept away the lives
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland. Here's
hoping she may recover. = Soon after
these items win be in print the year
of 1915 viii have passed into the
sweet bygones, and the new year,
1916, viii have made its way here.
New resolutions viii be made and
hight they should. Good resolutions.
made and kept, are strengtheners Of
character. Resolutions, made and
broken, are weakeners to character.
This behooyes us to make good ones
and keep them. Though thy father
and brother forsake you and say all
manner Of evil things against you,
then the Lord will take you up. Do
eood for evil, Godlike, holding malice
toward mont but charity for all. -
On nearly every hand do we hear Of
Santa visiting the homes Of the tots
and older ones, too. Santa always
Ihrings good things in days Of peace
isnd plenty. - Miss Mildred Cook
treated her pupils at Gatewood "jesi
before Christmas" The little tots
were certainly in the height of glee
- Joseph Heizer came in Tuesday
from Dalton, Nebraska, to spend tbs
holidays with his folks here. = The
wedding bells do ring again, soft and
clear, f~OreteIling the approaching
marriage of Joseph Heller and Miss
Lizzie Ridgeway. The marriage cere-
mony will be performed at the home
of the bride-eIect, c. T. Jesse's at {
p. M, Saturday, Jan l, 1916. The
Rev. John Hesse will say the words
that unite them according to law a:
one. They will depart Immediately
for Dalton, their future home. Here's
|, wishing them one continuous round
of pleasure the remainder Of then
lives here and reaching far over intc
: the sweet beyond. - To the editors
. their corps Of helpers, and magnif.
cent array of readers, do we wish
, dear friends, the bells to ring LOUD
and clear, all blessings for a GLAD
, New Year. - The young men Of oul
county, and the older grOwn-ups, d.
we remind you to cheer up. Lear
: year is nearly here and with it as Of
all leap years DO we believe things
will hum. We learned way back il
the bygones that women could d.
more in one year with one day addeC
than men could in three. This fac
within itself should give us hope anC
. cheer, and we see it starts off gooC
. with Joe Heller. Wishing all tht
readers an abundance Of pleasure al
the year around and way ovel
