In MemOriam-Mrs. Elisha
DeGtmer.

1t hath pleased the Almighty God 10
summon out of this world Mrs. Elisha
Dettmer, OF Pilot Knob. She died on
we confidently hope, and her hfeless
remains were committed to the ground
on the 27th inst, the funeral services,
which were largely attended, being held
by the undersigned at the Lutheran
church ofPilot Knob. Her ripe age was rs
years, 2 months and 6 days. She leaves
to mourn her loss five sons: Adolph,
Charles, Frank, Fred, Louis, and one
daughter, Mrs. Dora Patterson, twenty
grandchildren, two great grandchildren
and two brothers, Louis and Charles
Arnold.
Mrs. Dettmer was born on the 10th
day of February, I84, in Hanover,
Germany. When still a young girl she
came to America. In the year 1861, on
25th day of April Mrs. Dettmer, Chen
Miss Clara Arnoldi) was united in holy
matrimony with Mr.. Adolph Dettmer,
who preceded his wife into eternity on
the 9th day OF last January. Mrs.
Dettmer therefore died on her wedding
day, it being her 55th wedding ami
versary. On this day she was reunited
with her husband in everlasting life as
we confidently hope.
Mrs. Dettmer was a true christian
woman, possessing many virtues. She
confessed, however, that she could not
be saved by her works and virtues, but
only by the blood OF Jesus Christ who
had given her the victory, ever I'VE
lasting life. Therefore the undersigned
chose as an appropriate text for the
funeral sermon the words OF st. Paul
recorded in | Corinthians, IS, 54-57.
death is swallowed up in victory. o
death, where is thy sting? 0 grave,
where is thy victory The sting OF death
is sin; and the strength Of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us
the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ" H.

Notice to Patrons OF Picture
Show.

In my experience as manager of
the local picture show | have found a
growing tendency on the part of my
patrons to ~patronize only the best in
pictures. l have endeavored to give
the best at a minimum admission
price and have succeeded very well
up to the present time. But now in
order to continue with the better
class of photoplays l am forced in
self defense to raise the admission
price of adults to 15c. However I
have reduced the admission price of
children to &c. These prices will
apply only on Tuesday and Saturday
