MONON ITEMS.

The deaths that have occurred in the past two weeks are so numerous it is almost impossible to chronicle them. George Thacker, an old resident, passed away Wednesday, also M. L. Thomas, another old resident, died Wednesday of kidney ailment. Roscoe Beaver, a young man 21 years old, a flu victim, was buried on Thursday at South America. The past three months have been sad ones for the Henry Barnhart family, remaining. Two of their brave boys gave their lives for their country, one in far away France. And now another heart-rending blow has befallen them. Tuesday they were called to give up their daughter, Mirs. Asa Donaldson, and on Wednesday the husband passed away, leaving two little children, a little three year old baby and an infant baby boy a few days old/to the care of Mrs, Barnhart. The bodies were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart, where the funeral for both was held Friday afternoon. One remaining daughter is a nurse in a camp in Virginia. .
