What a fine weather record. Hick's property is being beaten by the weather.
The Cedarville House sports a new sign.
Our community was in mourning last week over the death of Mrs. Mary Clingman, wife of Wm. Clingman. "Mary Will" as she was familiarly known by her more intimate friends, was one of those persons who always had a smile and a kind word for everybody. She when able to do so, took an active part in all the works of the Sabbath School of which she was a member, and she will be greatly missed not only by the members of her class but by all those who worked for the good of the school. The funeral took place on Friday. Fifty-three teams were in the procession from the house to the church, which was filled to overflowing. Rev. P. Gheen, of Orangeville, officiated, assisted by Rev. C. Schmucker and Rev. Dillingham, of this place. Rev. Hopkins, of Orangeville, was to have taken part, but was called away elsewhere to attend the funeral of a relative of his. The united choirs of the village rendered the songs, two of which were the special choice of the deceased, and are found in the singing book used by the school, called the "Welcome Songs". She was born, married and died in the month of January. Thus we are reminded again how fleeting are the pleasures of this life; a few years more and we, too, shall be called to join the happy throng on the other shore. It therefore behooves us to prepare for the call.
The protracted meetings are still interesting enough to be kept going.
There were a number of conversions last week.
Mrs. Dillingham has returned home again, feeling much better than when she left.
Dan Siegfried was home to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Clingman. On account of the trains, he met the funeral on the way to the church.
Miss Kate Smith got up a fine surprise party on her sister Mary last week.
