Goodbye to the Pages.

Last week we made short mention
of the departure of DR.. and Mrs. ]. N,
Page for Monticello where they will
permanently reside in the future.
A man who has lived in Columbia
practically all his life, and has been
an apothacarV in the community for
a half century, administering during
his long career to thousands of afaict-
ed men and women, deserves more
than passing notice.
If he had been a craving man he
would have left Columbia with a very
large bank account. He was ever
ready to relieve the afflicted, furnish
ing his medicines, and if the patient
had the price he accepted it; il he
did not have it he got the remedies
all the same, and in that way during
the many years he was a druggist
in Columbia, he gave away thousands
of dollars. He believed in the old ad
age "Cast thy bread upon the Waters
and after many days it will return
unto you"
He was congenial, and after the
business Of a day closed his friends
called, and with them he engaged in
social converse until the hour for
turning out the lights.
We do not oVerdraw the statement
when we say that no man ever left Co
lumbia who will be more universally
missed.
1t was here that he spent his boy
hood. and his young manhood days,
where he married and spent with his
companion nearly fifty years of his
honorable life.
Both DR.. Page and his compar ion
are prominent members of the Bar-
fist Church and were held in the
highest esteem. The day before they
took their departure, they we're noti-
ed to be at the church, quite nun
being present. A gift Of remem-
bsrance was ready and it was present.
ed with touching remarks by Rev. H
n. Phillips. 1t was not a gift of gold
nor of silver, but it came from Low Ing
hearts, who will at ali times keep in
mind the very pleasant Church rela
tiOnship of DR.. and Mrs. Page who will
soon be members of the Monticello
flock.

Reunion Of the CaIIlsOn Family.

On Sunday the 18th there was a re-
union of the descendants of James
and Louisa CaIlison, at the old CALI.
son home, a short distance from Mt.
Pleasant church. There were fifty
five present, sons, daughters and
grandchildren, besides a number of
friends. There was an abundance of
everything good to eat and a very
happy day was spent. Mr.. W. ]. Cal
lison, wife, and two of their grand
children, of MiddIesboro, and two
daughters of Mr.. Geo. L. Callison,
who reside in Joplin, Missouri, were
present.
The old homestead brought to mind
many happy days of the long ago.
The saddest feature of reunion is,
the missing of parents, who tenderly
watched over their descendants from
infancy to manhood and womanhood.
There will be another reunion be,
yond this veil OF tears and when it
comes it will be one that will continue
forever and ever, happiness reigning
continuously,

More Voting Precinct.

Equal suffrage calls for more voting
precincts in each county in the State.
There will be six in the town of Co.
lumbia. at present there are only
three. The law requires that no pre-
cinct shall have more than $50 votes.
We now have Is voting precincts in
the county, but when the county is
reprorportioned there will probably
not be less than twenty-five. The Of
ficers who have the making of the ad-
ditional precincts will evidently do
the work soon.

When you have sickness in your
family or even when death comes, do
not write card of thanks to those
who attended the sick. 1t is not in
good taste to thank people for some
thing they were glad to do-at all
times willing to wait upon a friend.
Hence,a card of thanks is not appre-
ciated.

them for if you want to buy, rent,

but especially central Minnesota
lands, they are the men to call on as

teresting Charles in some very de-
sirable city property on which to
build and an engagement to drive
into the country to view some farm
lands in which they offer some veri-
table bargains. They will make you

must now look up reliable contrac-
tor to draw the plans and build the

derson is the man to figure with.
Honest workmanship and material
are essential in building. You will
find him using both and employing
first class workmen who know their
business. He does contracting in its
different branches including interior
work, shelving etc., and will give you
turnkey job as, sample.>of his
handiwork. I want you to inspect
John Kernegan and Fred Schuab

contract he pushes it through to
completion without delay and you will
be more than pleased with your new
home when turned over to you from
his hands,"
"I am firm believer in the econ
