UTAH

·        William Gardener, of Coldbrook, died March 25^th, age 52 years.  Funeral services were held on Thursday at Tolbert Creek Church, by Rev. Mr. Pryor, of Cameron.  He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his departure.  Mr. Gardener was loved and respected by all who knew him.  Sincere, kind and upright, and will be sadly missed in the neighborhood where he had dwelt so long.  They laid him away in the Mosher burial ground, while sobs broke the stillness of that beautiful day.  And we believe he has gone to that beautiful land, the far away home of the soul, where the storms never beat, but the years of eternity roll.

·        Mr. and Mrs. Robert Adcock were called to Missouri by the illness of Mrs. J.C. Adcock.  They returned in one week.  She was still living, but had no hopes of her recovery.

·        Mrs. Cap Atchison and Mrs. C.B. Weeks invited the ladies of the neighborhood to Rag Bees.  Mrs. A. on Thursday and Mrs. W. on Friday.  Both were well attended.

·        Miss Emma Loveridge will teach the spring term of school at Locust.

·        Aunt Narcissa Adcock will start for Nebraska soon.  She is a spry lady of 73 years of age.

A MONMOUTH paper claims that nearly a month has passed by without a marriage license being issued in that county.  The reason is, no doubt, because Warren county parties get their licenses and are married in this city.

SAM FELKER’s explanation was “you have to make friends of one gang of thieves in order to catch another gang of thieves.”  A pertinent inquiry would be, “wasn’t that about what the bank did?”

ALEXIS

            Was I dreaming?  No. The sweet songsters of 17 maidens stood at my window and the first words I heard as they wakened me were, “Don’t Grieve for Me Darling”.  Song after song floated on the midnight air and I thought as I listened that this was surely a glimpse of heavenly music, only there the sweet singers will never go away, and we won’t grieve for you, darling for we hope to see you there.

• On last Thursday, July 20, Wm. Johnston, of Monmouth, was run over by the cars and killed while in a drunken condition.  Another case where the husband and father is taken away by the awful curse of rum.  His wife, a sweet woman, was my childhood companion, and her two children, Eddie and May, aged 14 and 10 years.  Mrs. Johnston’s maiden name was Emma Chicken and she has the sympathy of many friends.  She is left to bear all this suffering alone while the saloon man stands with wide open door to eat up all the cash a man can carry and then take the man himself, while the wife and the children are helpless to defend the right.  The funeral of Mr. Johnston was held at the residence, 1002 South street, on Friday afternoon.
