Just a few of Mr.. TRUTHS
most intimate friends were in

exact date.

pronounced by Rev. Headbloom
OF the Boulder Baptist church,

IN having for his friend since
early boyhood, Judge II. C. Sell
man, whose lingering years are
made happy and comfortable by
the faithful devotion of his
young ward.

rooms with pantry and numer-
Gus closets and two porches
from which most magnificent
view OF mountain and plain, riv-
ulet and lake is had.
The little home was planned
by Ike" Mr.. Sellman proudly
informs his callers, and it is hard
to tell which is the prouder.
1t is here Mr.. Sellman is being
cared for tenderly and affection
ately and the surprise of Tues

Mrs. Wideman who has been

make his guests welcome than
