Rev. Bronson Resigns.
At the evening service at
the Baptist church last Sunday Rev. F.C. Bronson the pastor, tendered his
resignation, to take effect on Feb. 1st. The step came as a surprise to many,
and is deeply regretted by all, both in and out of his church, as all esteem him
very highly for his many excellent qualities. Mr. Bronson has accepted a call
from the Baptist church at
Wooden Wedding.
A large party of relatives
and friends of Dr. and Mrs. W.A. Saxon, remembering the fifth or wooden
anniversary of the wedding of that worthy couple, organized a very successful
surprise party and invaded their home on Tuesday evening to help them celebrate
the event. The evening was very pleasantly spent in social intercourse. Full
justice was done to the dainty refreshments provided by the guests. Dr. and Mrs.
Saxon received several beautiful wooden mementos by which to keep the occasion
in remembrance.

The funeral of Mrs. Jas.
Mann was held last Saturday afternoon from the Presbyterian church and was very
largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. Edwin W. Lanham, to whom the
Advance is indebted for the following obituary of the deceased: Florence Iole,
was born
In my brief acquaintances
with her, I learned of those traits of character which endeared her to all who
knew her; her sunny disposition, her frank, honest confiding and trustful
nature; her tender sympathy for the feelings of others, made her life as a beam
of sunshine, and an enobling influence in the lives of her friends. But a few
short years were alloted to her for her work. May we not say that she used them
in the service of Him who has called her home. She was married to Mr. James
Mann, Nov. 26th, of this year, just 25 days prior to her death. He[r] illness
was of short duration. A week before her death a heavy cold overtook her;
seemingly not serious, but suddenly double pneumonia developed, and in a few
hours the message came to come up higher; and on Thursday morning, Dec. 21st,
the plumed soul took its flight.
