Grandma Stone has just received the pleasing news that she is a great grandmother, an eight-pound son having been born Wednesday, June 11, to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lorenz of St. Louis, Mo.

Forbes of near Wolcott, who has been an Invalid for several years, and for a long time has been entirely helpless, is now lying at the point of death, her passing away only being a question of a very few hours at this writing, Thursday afternoon.

Louis Bilile was born in Quebec, Canada, in November, 1835, and died at his home in Remington, June 13, 1919, aged 84 years, 7 months and 11 days. Deceased was married to Matilda St. Peter and to this union were born 11 children, five of whom are still living. The wife and mother preceded him to the realms beyond about 28 years ago. For the past six weeks he had been a patient sufferer, and though everything that medical skill could do was done it was of no avail, 'and he passed away on Friday last. The funeral services

were held at the Sacred Heart Catholic church Monday morning at 9 o'clock, after which Interment was made In the Catholic cemetery. Brother Coleman'a "Kid Band." which might easily be named the "A-B-C Band" for A. B. Coleman, has been making good progress towards organisation. Mr, Coleman reports that he now has about 16 lads lined up who are willing to take up the work. In fact, he says he has the "heavy" end of the band all listed, and a number of the minor pieces. But he is anxlous to get every lad In town Into the work whose parents will encourage them in learning some instrument. It is a mighty good thing for any body to do, as it places them on the preferred list, as it were, if they ever leave home or go to college, as such institutions nearly always have a band and orchestra organization. In the race for life, death won out again Wednesday when Ernest Rawllegfi passed away at his home near th.\ CY'sMan church at 11 a. m. "Alck." as he was familiarly known ti\ his associates and the public in Igeneral. had been in a gradual decline foi ibj past s*x months and of late the failure had been very rapid. Physicians and specialists alike have been unable to cope with the disease, which was In the nature of a kidney trouble together with enlargement of the heart. For several years the deceased had conducted the news and cigar store near the postoffice, coming here from Wolcott. Having been a resldan: here most all of his life he was known to nearly everyone In this vicinity who counted him as their friend and whose sympathy goes out to the sorrowing widow and two orphaned children. The funeral will be held this Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the Presbyterian church and burial made in Remington cemetery.
