Mr.. James Savage were deeply
grieved over his death, which oc-
CURED at his home on last Sunday,
resulting from complications of dis
eases. Mr.. Savage was a good citizen,
faithful friend and an humble SER

especially to those whose-lives were
bound to him by the closest ties, for
in the sacred precincts of the home
are the dead most mined, and here
are the dead most missed and here
by sorrows weight He leaves one
brother, the last member of large
family, all having passed over into
the Great Beyond.
