MARRIED. At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Fred. THOMA, in Grand Meadow, Clayton Co., Iowa, March 6th, 1881, by Rev. John KNIE; Mr. Charles J. SCHULTZ and Miss Annie B. THOMA. Both are from Grand Meadow and the parents of this newly married pair are well known.

DIED. At Decorah, Iowa, March 6th; Geo. W. HAISLET, editor and proprietor of the Decorah Radical. Although the sad event has not been unlooked for several days, still when the news reached us on Tuesday it sent a shock through us as acute as though we had not expected it. Only three weeks before he visited us, and although at the time he was unwell, we thought nothing serious of it. He seemed in his usual good spirits, and we did not dream we should never see him again. About 25 years ago we became acquainted, and twice since that we have been connected with him in the printing business and during all that time we have maintained friendly relations. Like all of us he had his faults, but he was a worse enemy to himself than to anybody else. He was liberal with his friends--too liberal for his own good--kind and indulgent to his family and a peacable, quiet citizen. He was a racy and original newspaper writer and was one of the oldest printers in the state, having been in some department of the business for nearly forty years, all the time in Iowa. He leaves a wife and three children--two small children--to mourn his loss, besides brothers and sisters. They will certainly not look to us for sympathy in vain.
