A MATTER OF BUSINESS
We find ourselves overstocked on summer footwear. We believe it a
good plan to GIVE YOU the full benefit of any concessions we have
to offer at this time. It is best appreciated when most needed.
We therefore inaugurate on FRIDAY MORNING June 17, a large
clearing sale of footwear. Come in and select the shoes you like,
the prices of which are plainly marked on the box, deduct 25 PER
CENT from the marked price and pay me the balance. This is the
kind of a clearing sale we are going to have. WEST SIDE SQUARE

DEATH OF J. W. TOMLINSON.
Word was received Monday by C.C. Tomlinson, giving an account of
his brother's death at Battle Ground, Indiana, which occurred
June 8th. Joseph Tomlinson was well known in this vicinity,
having lived on the home farm southeast of town since coming here
in 1857, excepting nearly four years, until about four years ago,
when he went to Indiana to reside. He was in business nearly
three years at New Market and one year at Soldrege, Nebraska. He
leaves a wife and one child, a daughter aged about 15. He was
born in Highland county, Ohio, in 1832. Of late years he has been
afflicted with Brights disease and his system was so undermined
that his final sickness was very brief. He was highly regarded in
this community and in his home neighborhood and will be
remembered for his cheerfulness and good nature and his friendly
ways. He was a good citizen a kind neighbor.

1898. Abram Briedwell, aged 66yrs., 1 mo. And 27 days. Mr.
Briedwell was born in Lawrence Co., Indiana, April 11th, 1832 but
came to this county in an early day. He was married Feb. 18th,
1855 to Mary J. Smith. He left a wife and five children to mourn
his loss. Funeral was held at the house. Sermon by writer. Text,
2 Samuel 14-14 interment was made in Arlington cemetery where
Arlington cemetery where a large crowd of people followed him to
his last resting places. He sleeps awaiting the call of his
Master at the last day. There was a smile on his faces as in life
which made us think of the days when he sat and listened to the
word of God as we discoursed at the Old S. H. His name was
recorded as a member of A. C. church at Hazel Grove S. H. He
sleeps but not forever. We shall meet him in the morning, and
friends let us live so as when Jesus calls and awakens the dead,
we shall be with the blessed.
R. A. BIXLER.
CARD OF THANKS: -- We desire to express our
heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends who so kindly
assisted us in our sad bereavement. May God bless all, and when
death visits your homes and takes from you a dear husband and
father may he be cared for as tenderly as was ours.
MRS. MARY BRIEDWELL and family.
