Samuel Gove of Bennett, Neb., came to attend the funeral of his aunt Mrs. Miles. Thirty-six years ago Mr. Gove was a pupil in the Hesper primary taught in the old Quaker meeting house, and not having been here since that time he found many changes. But he much enjoyed meeting several of his old school mates, who are now among our substantial citizens.
