However, it is like wine, the older the better. It is all right to indulge in a little underground trickery to bring about re suits, as long as it can be kept under the keg of secrecy. But, say, don't you know that there are no genuine secrets now? Listen to the words of the bible: "The works of darkness shall be made manifest." Our friend of San Pierre seems to be well versed in Roosterology, as he intimated in his last week's effusion that he has been a victim of the feathered angel quite often. He even went so far as to declare that every time he hears the musical voice of a rooster after two o'clock it brings up a long chain of connected thoughts about his girl. Therefore you see that a rooster is a memory awakener. William Cullen, who is learning to manipulate a buycle, says that of all the ridable creatures, the "bike" is surely the ace of trickery. While riding along the other day on the bank of a ditch, his bike got dexterously unruly and began to kick and shake like it bad the buck ague; finally it bad a fit and jumped into the dith, Billy led the way like a fraction dressed up for multiplication. While sticking in the mud he resembled one end of a saw-buck. At high noon last Sunday, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. E. W. Lakin, of Union tp., and Miss Bertha V. Miller, of this place, were united in marriage by Rey. E. M. Kuonen, in the presence of their relatives and close personal friends. The honored position of best man was filled in up-to-date style by Joseph Hilliard. Miss Lakin, of Union tp„ occupied the position of lady of honor in a pleasing manner. The bride was arrayed in weite, while the happy groom wore the conventioual black. The groom is one of the popular young men of Union tp., who was honored by his township by being elected to the position of assessor. The bride is one of the popular young ladies of this county, a school teacher by profession. Immediately after the ceremony and the in-
formal reception, the guests were conducted to the dining, room where a bounteous repast was awaiting them, at which fifty covers were laid. For the next two or three months they expect to stay in Chicago, after which thev will make their future home in Union tp. In behalf of this realm we extend to them the best wishes for their future happiness. OBITUARY. Again the grim reaper, death, has visited this community and taken from us one of our] honored citizens. It is hard to see the departure, but yet we are obliged by the laws of the universe to bow our heads and accept the sorrow in the spirit of resignation, knowing that ail things so ordered are for the best. Christopher C, Jones was born Dec. 18, 1831, and departed this life August 4, 1905, aged 73 years, 7 months and 16 days. He was united in marriage to Sarah Brown, May 8, 1854, to which union three children were born, of which two survive him. The wife departed this life August 21, 1895. On the 21st day of January, 1897, he was united in marriage to Martha V. Witt. 4 To this union two children were born, both surviving him. He leaves a wife, two sons, two daughters, tw > brothers and sisters and a large circle of friends to mourn his death. The funeral service was conducted at the bouse by Rev. E. M Kuonen, assisted by the Dunnville choir. Mr. Jones was a man that preached his religion in his every day life, His every day life was according to the Golden Rule. We extend to the bereaved the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The interment was in the San Pierre cemetery.
