Aged Citizen at Rest.

Saturday evening, Nov. 81, 1915,
Mrs. John Cummings passed on to the
mysterious beyond at her home in this
city; aged SO years.
Her maiden name was Mary Corcor-
an. She was native of Ireland and
came to Mineral Point in the fall of
1850. Here she was united in mar
rage in 1856 to Mr.. John Cummings,
who for years was prominent in the
educational circles of this city. In
every stage of life Mrs. Cummings
proved splendid Christian woman in
every sense.
Surviving her are three daughters,
the Misses Martha and Mary and Mrs.
E. C.. Fielder, all residing here. Her
husband and two only sons, John and
Ed, proceeded her to the grave sew
eral years ago.

BAZAAR A SUCCESS.
Inspiring Union Thanksgiving Service.

Thanksgiving day was duly observed
in our city. Many homes were made
happy by the Homecoming of loved ones.
The sick and shut-ins were kindly re-
memosred with flowers and dainties.
Twelve members of the Congrega-
tional church choir started out early in
the morning, in accordance with a most
praiseworthy custom which they inau-
gurated few years ago, to sing sacred
selections at the homes of the sick and
feeble and others deserving of such hon
or. Twenty-nine homes were thus Wis
tied and RECALLED with the pleasing and
inspiring music. At the home of Mrs
James Brewer the singers were sur
p~ised and rewarded with substantial
Refreshments.
The annual union services were held
at the Congregational church in the
morning and in point of attendance and
general interest manifested was one of
the best ever held in the city. Rev. C,
w. Emery of the Methodist church
preached a splendid sermon in keeping
with the day.
At FIVE o'clock the Ladies' Aid of the
Methodist church commenced serving
their annual supper and bazaar, which
has been look-forward-to feature of
the day for great many years. Judg-
ing by the large number in attendance,
the bountiful supply and deliciousness
of the the eatables and the pleasant
social spirit prevailing, this years
event was surely one of the most sue
cessful.

6 O'Clock Thanksgiving morning. Nov.

fore that time and as dawn was trying

need the tying of nuptial knot, that
those most concerned might depart on
the 7;l5 train.
You ask, who were the mostly con-
cerned parties? None other than Mr..
Henry Halvcrson, the competent and
genial jeweler of Mauger's jewelry and
music establishment, and Miss Elsie
Brown, one our very best young ladies.

tied and refreshments served MIR. and

He said that certain man was con-

know what course he should pursue.
Give him good licking, " Leahy
jokingly told the man. Go ahead and
lick him; IN pay your fine.
Mr. Leahy thought no more of the
occurrence until he was called to the
telephone Tuesday
Come on up here and get me out.
Mr.. Leahy, voice said. This is

The Dividend Problem.

Another Thanksgiving day has pass
ed with no opportunity to extend
thanks for a dividend from the receiver
of the defunct First National Bank of
this city. And Christmas is approach
ing much faster, it is believed, than
the desired dividend. If the receiver
doesn't hurry up his charges, the cred
itors, will all be dead. In that case,
to make sure of their getting what be-
longs to them. he'll have to issue his
checks on the bank Of the Eternal City
whore the streets are paved with gold.
But they won't need it then, while
they do right now.
TIE problem is, would checks from
such a source be honored by the banks
