Let Him Rest in Peace

Fred Keister, editor of the Pewamo
News, who managed the "wet" cam
paign at the recent election in Ionia
county, which resulted so disastrous
ly for his side, and who was well paid
for putting in his best ticks to bolster
up the cause said:
"The editor has just returned
from attending the obsequies of our
old friend and neighbor, John Barley
corn, whose death occurred the early
part Of last week. John was quite
a lovable old fellow and although
we set up with him day and night
for two months the end was newt
able and we had to see him pass out
and beyond. John would have prob
ably lived to ripe old age had he
not made the mistake of marrying
Miss Home Rule last spring, who in
a fit of anger struck the old man on
the conk with rolling pin. John
had been a long time resident of
Michigan and was unusually well
known and the day that he died the
church bells tolled every hour in
memory of his passing. The old boy
is gone and we hope that those who
assisted so nobly in helping him to
pass painlessly away will now see
that his ashes rest in peace"
