Additional Locals - Fred Kezar informed us yesterday that Mr. C. H. Kruft, the young husband of she who was Alice Martyn, had died suddenly this week from appendicitis at one of the Chicago hospitals, and that Mrs. Kruft was also very ill. The friends of Alice in Nashua feel for her the sincerest sympathy in the sorrow which has entered her life to cloud it thus early in her -----. A little over a year ago these young people were married and the past year had been one of happiness to them. Now all the hopes and plans that made the future bright to them is darkened by the gloom of death, the shadow of which will darken the pathway of the young wife for many a year to come. We trust that time will deal gently with Alice and bring her back to health and strength, and help her bear the heavy blow which has fallen upon her.

A Word from Margaret Gorman Bishop. - To the readers of the Reporter, and particularly to the people of Nashua and vicinity I address myself: Ever since my severance with the Reporter a year ago it has been my humble wish to express to you a part at leas of thanks and appreciation I shall ever entertain for your kind reception of the joint efforts of myself and Miss Murray. The task was not an easy one for me while she, with whom I labored so long and lovingly, was still with you. I felt that in her I still existed with you, that her voice was my voice and that I was still a part of you. But since she too has elected to leave your most hospitable shelter and friendly hearthstone (perchance to preside over one of her own, as she tells you I have done) the last link in the chain has been broken and I feel that longer silence on my part would be ingratitude. When I recall those five years among you - years that record the greatest trials and supremest joys of our young lives - and realize how generously you have paid for our feeble efforts, how charitably you condoned our numerous mistakes and how often you swore by “the girls” in the face of these mistakes, simply because you felt our motive to be pure and our aim high, my heart is filled with love and gratitude. It has been my lot to have been born and reared in the quiet seclusion of country life; where every person for miles around knew me by my first name and affectionately contracted it into a nickname; to have entered the vortex of city life, where man rises to fame or sinks to perdition in a day, and to have been transplanted again in soil akin to your own, but never have I met and lived among a grander, nobler, better people than you, my friends of Nashua. Handicapped as we were by limitations of sex and lack of capital, there were times when the burden seemed too great to bear, but your confidence in our ability to surmount all difficulties, your appreciation of our every effort, and strong words of encouragement gave us the strength to win. To fail would have been to be unworthy of you, and to succeed but the result due you. Of these friends, and there are many of you, we will ever cherish fondest memories and pleasantest recollections. Your success shall be our joy and your misfortunes our personal sorrow. In Minna Murray, whose brave, strong voice will counsel you no more in matters of public interest or console you at the death of a loved one, you will lose a true and fearless friend. Her love of industry caused her to labor night and day for your social and financial advancement; her love of justice ever prompted her to enter the weak one's fight; and her love of truth often involved her in difficulties that caused her great, generous heart many pangs, but always broadened her sphere of usefulness. With a feeling of love and good fellowship for you all, and a hope that you will find the Reporter a friend to the people in the future as in the past, I am sincerely and faithfully yours, Margaret Gorman Bishop.

A Happy Coincident - Wednesday of this week was an eventful day in the Cagley family for on that date Roy Cagley and Miss Orphie Zwangiger, of Nashua, were married by Rev. Sutton, at Charles City, and Rob Cagley and Miss Laura Turner, of Somerville, Tenn., were married at the home of the bride in the sunny South. The marriage of the two brothers on the same date was a mere accident as both had kept their intentions a secret until a few days before the happy event. The coincident added much to the pleasures of the day and will become a source of much enjoyment in the future at each yearly reunion.

Miss Zwangiger is a Nashua girl who is worthy of the large list of friends she has made during her life in Nashua. She is a young woman who has spent her young life in industrious, womanly pursuits and will make a capable, loving companion to the young man whose good fortune it is to call her wife.

Miss Turner, who is now Mrs. Rob Cagley, is a stranger to Nashua people, but inasmuch as she has married a Nashua young man she has a claim on our affection and Nashua friends extend to her most hearty congratulations.

The two happy grooms, Roy and Rob Cagley, were born and brought up in this locality where they spent their youth and young manhood. Rob went South about four years ago, and expects to make his future home in that locality. Both boys have been steady, hard working, good principled young men, who have been a credit to their parents in the past, and will make excellent husbands in the future. The have innumerable friends here who feel an interest in their lives and wish for them all that is good and prosperous in the future.

The Walleser Home Burns - The Walleser home is burning down” was a report that sent a thrill of horror through the entire community last Tuesday afternoon. Such a misfortune to this excellent family was felt with sincere regret by everyone in this vicinity. That home and its contents meant years of labor at the forge by the father, and equally as many years of constant toil in the family by the noble wife and mother. It meant months and years of time spent by the girls as teachers in our town and country schools, and the contributions of the boys from their earnings in business. It meant the blowing away in smoke and ashes of the life work of a family who had labored together as families seldom do, and the sight was one to bring tears of regret to those who watched the cruel flames consume that which had been purchased at a price so dear. The fire caught in the upper story and the contents of that part of the home, which included bedding, furniture and the clothing of the family, together with $20 in money belonging to Miss Laura, were entirely consumed. The contents of the lower part of the house were saved by the heroic efforts of neighbors and friends who came quickly to the rescue.
