DEATH OF MRS. DEWEY.

MEHARRY—FRALEY.

Mrs. Catherine Dewey, relict of the late John Dewey, died at about 7 o’clock on Wednesday evening, December 26, from cardiac asthma. She had been down sick just a month and her sufferings were great but all of which she bore with great and just Christian fortitude. For many days she lay in a critical state and when the members of the family thought every moment might be her last. Death came to end her sufferings late Wednesday evening. Mrs. Dewey’s maiden name was Gannon. She was born in North Carolina, June 11, 1825, and was thus 75 years, 7 months and 15 days old at her death. When seven years old she removed with her parents to this state and county, with her parents sharing the hope of great material progress in the great Northwest. She was married to John Dewey on June 12, 1851, and since which time she has always continued her residence in Coal Creek township. To their union was given six children, one being dead, the living are William, Charles, David, Howard, and Mrs. Ella Zook. The husband and father proceeded her to the great beyond on March 21, 1899. Mrs. Dewey was for forty years a Christian, becoming a member of the Christian church that long ago, and was a faithful member until old age prevented her from attending. But by her living she continued her vows so long and so well kept sacred. Her happiest days were when her children were all around her.

The hospitable country home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac N. Meharry, near Meharry’s Grove west of town, was thrown open last Wednesday evening to admit the guests who had been invited to witness the marriage of Miss Jennie M. Meharry, youngest daughter of the host and hostess, and Charles M. Fraley, of Linden. The ceremony was performed at 7 o’clock by Rev. Frank Fraley of Flora, a cousin of the groom, in the presence of a company that was composed almost entirely of relatives of the bride and groom. The bride wore a pretty gown of white organdie trimmed with satin ribbon, and carried a bouquet of roses, lilies of the valley and asparagus ferns. Her going-away dress was of black serge. The wedding march was was played by Miss Annie V. Meharry, a cousin of the bride. Just before the vows were spoken, Miss Lura Schemerhorn sang “O, Promise Me.” The bride and groom on entering the parlor took their place before the grate and mantel, and immediately in front of a mass of holly, rod carnations, ground pines and palms. The marriage rite was followed by an elaborate repast that was served in the dining room. This part of the house was decorated with holly and scarlet carnations, while the table was ornamented with silver candelabra and scarlet ribbon. Mr. and Mrs. Fraley received the congratulations of the guests at the close of the repast, and then drove to the home that had been prepared for them near Linden. The groom has been engaged in farming for some time and will continue in that occupation. He has been quite successful in his business pursuits and is regarded as a very worthy gentleman. The bride was employed for some time in the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank at Wingate, and is a very estimable lady. She was born and reared at the old home as above stated and was one of the most popular young ladies in that community.

FREE SCHOOLBOOKS.

A bill of more than ordinary importance will be that introduced at the coming session of the legislature by senator W. W. Lambert, representing Bartholomew and Decatur counties. The measure requires the state to furnish all the books used by the pupils in the public schools. Under the provisions of the proposed measure the township trustees are to furnish the necessary books to the teachers in their respective townships, who in turn will distribute them to the pupils, and at the end of the school term the books are to revert to the trustees, to be held as state’s property. In this connection senator Lambert is quoted as saying:

DEDICATION OF NEW BELL.

The dedication of the new bell at the M. E. church, Wingate, on Christmas morning was a great occasion. Exactly at 10 o’clock the first bell for the services was rung, being the first time for the bell to ring, by Miss Ida Coon, daughter of George C. Coon, and the only descendant to the fourth generation of Christian Coon who gave the old bell. George C. Coon and John C. Wingate, the donors of this bell, are the only descendants to the third generation. Rev. H. A. Gobin, D. D., President of DePauw University, preached a magnificent sermon, immediately after which he proceeded to dedicate the bell in the name of the Holy Trinity, giving it a tap in each name of the Trinity with the tolling hammer. As the hammer struck the bell the third time the choir arose and sweetly sang that grand old hymn, “Joy to the World,” while the bell continued to peal forth “good tidings of great joy” throughout the singing of this hymn. This bell which is excelled by no other bell anywhere, except in size, is the generous gift of George C. Coon, of Elizabeth, N. J., and John C. Wingate, of this place, as a memorial, perpetuating the memory of the gift of their grandfather, Christian Coon, who gave the old bell. It weighs, fixtures included, 800 pounds, and cost $224. P.

Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, Vice-President Illinois Woman’s Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says: “I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset ray stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at once. I am now entirely recovered, saved a doctor's bill, time and suffering, and I will never bo without this splendid medicine again.” For sale by J. W. Hollin & Co., druggists.

RABBIT SUPPER.

“The theory of our public educational system is that the state shall pay the entire cost, and it does so with the exception of paying for the text-books. It is a very serious burden on poor people to pay the expenses incurred in a change of text-books, such as frequently occurs, or even to purchase books at all, and it often results in worthy children being kept out of school. There will be a provision in the bill that children who are financially able and want to buy text-books to study during vacation time may get them from the trustee at contract prices.”

The Council Grove Cotton Tail Association held their fifth annual supper on the evening of Dec. 21, 1900, at P. A. Deeter’s.

M. Mick, Pres.; Ed Hatton, Sec.; J. W. McCorkle, Trees. At a late hour all adjourned to their respective homes after having spent a pleasant evening under the hospitalities of Mr. and Mrs. Deeter.

DOES COOKING SPOIL FOOD?

Prof. B. Tyler, of Indianapolis, says that human life would average two or three times longer than it does if people would reject the senseless practice of cooking their food. Animals and fowl live much longer in proportion to the period of full developement than man. Says Prof. Tyler: “Men, for some
