Judge Haley has enlarged his shoe store by building an extention for his repair shop. This enlargement gives him a very nice sales room, and he has received this week a large stock of new goods which will give him a very complete line of all kinds of shoes for all kinds of people. The judge has no clerks or rent to pay and these are items that enable him to make lower , prices than others can do.

The Only Exclusively Shoe Store.

Mary (McCoy) Kannal was born in Columbian County, Ohio, September 10th, 1815. Her early life was spent on the homestead of her father in their native county. Her opportunity for education was very limited, her health being so poor that she was often detained from attendance on the three months winter terms at the log school house. November 3,1835 she was married to George Kannal. After a residence of seven years In the family of the husband, they moved to the country house of Thomas McCoy, brother of the wife. While there July 1, 1838, their first child, Elizabeth was born.

For seven years they resided in Lisbon, Ohio, where George Kannal was engaged as clerk in the banking house of Thomas McCoy. , In 1847 the family returned to live on a farm in their native county. On June 20.1849. Emmet their only son was born. In the spring of 1865 they came to Jasper County, Indiana, accompanied by their son, Emmet, and their daughter Elizabeth, with her husband, Thomas Hollingsworth, and their son, Emmet Louis. They settled in Rensselaer, where the family has resided continously ever since.

Grandma Kannal has been well known during the thirty years of her life here. She was a member of the Church of God in Rensselaer. As a follower of Christ, she was always thoughtful of the happiness and welfare of those dependent upon her. Although afflicted for many years with bodily ills her mind was awake in the discharge of every trust. In middle life her daughter Elizabeth died, leaving to her care two young boys. Louis and Geo, Hollingsworth to whom she has been a steadfast and faithful mother. To all the dear ones about her, she was ever willing to sacrifice her own comfort for their service. Among her friends and neighbors she was always ready with a cheerful word and a willing hand to help. Always plain and unassuming in her own ways, the objects of her genorosity were many. The building of this new temple, the Presbyterian church, has been a cherished hope with her for years, and she was among those who rejoiced at its dedication.

She died at the family homestead Saturday evening, August 22, f 896, at 9:30 o’clock. As an humble servant she tried always to do the Master’s will. Her death, like her life, was a peaceful, a trustful and a beautiful one.

The furneral services were conducted at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning from the Presbyterian church, Rev. Bishoffof the Presbyterian faith, assisted by Rev. Austin of the Church of God. officiating. It was the first occasion upon which a funeral has been held from the church she was so earnest in seeing built. It is needless to add that a very numerous cortege followed to Weston cemetery.

Summer Resorts on the Monon.

The summer resorts on the Monon Route are more than usually popular this year, West Baden and French Lick Springs, in Orange Co., are overflowing with visitors, and the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened a rival sanatorium, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in their constituents, and are successprescribed for a great variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all. the streams teem with fish—some of them having been stocked by the government fish commission. All indications point to West Baden (and the neighborhood springs) as the great sanatorium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot where the Monon has a fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is first rate.

Maruelous Results.

From a letter written byßev.J.Gunderman. of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract; .“I have no hesitation in reccommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at. Rives J unction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery, it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results.” Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer’s drug store Regular size 50 cents and SI.OO.

Sayler—Messerly Nuptials.

Last Sunday morning at the hour of ten Miss Belle Messerly, daughter of Mrs. Lucinda Messerly, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. J. Byron Sayler of Medaryville, son of Mr. and Mrß. Louis Sayler of Jasper county, the Rev Dr. Streator of Winamac officiating in the M. E. church of that place, the home of the bride. The ceremony was simple and modestly in keeping with the quiet taste of the high contracting parties. The bride was unattended and carried a boquette of margarettes and pink rose buds. The floral decorations were very pretty, being of carnations, roses and maiden hair ferns. The bridal arch was a triumph of floral art. The bride was costumed in cream colored silk, with trimmings of lace and ribbons. The organist was Miss Artha Brown of Francesville, a neice of the bride. The ceremony was witnessed by about forty near friends, among them being the groom’s sister, Miss Lillie Sayler of Rensselaer. The wedding dinner was served at high noon at the home of the bride’s mother. The following near relatives were gathered round the bounteous board:

Mrs. L. Messerly, Miss Cora Messerly, Miss Lillie Sayler, Mrs. Bruce, Master Charles Bruce, Mrs. Teters, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Keller, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Messerly, Rev. and Mrs. Streater, Mrs. S. I. Brown, Misses Grace, Artha, Ruth, Bessie, Florence and Maude Brown, Mr. Rollo Messerly. Mrs. Sayler is a most loveable and accomplished lady, a member of one of Winamac’s most grespected families, a favorite in society, and active in church and Sunday school work. She has long occupied a place in the choir of the Methodist church, being talented in both vocal and instrumental music. She has taught school in Medaryville and Francesville with marked success.

Mr. Sayler is engaged in the real estate business at Medaryville, and fast winning his way to prominence and success in his chosen field of labor. He is well and favorably known in Jasper county where he has a host of relatives and warm friends. He is a young man of rare capabilities with a bright future opening before him, and with his charming, energetic wife to inspire him to great accomplishments his highest aspirations are quite certain of achievement. The bridal pair arrived in Rensselaer at 3:30 p. m. Monday, where carriages were in waiting to convey them and friends to the parental home of the groom in Newton township, six mileß west of town. There a sumptuous banquet had been prepared, the fatted calf having

been killed, figuratively expressed, and many good things brought forth to feast the favorite son and the bride they had not yet seen. Nearly 100 relatives and friends were assembled at- the old home,, wherein the worthy father and mother have lived for forty years and reared a numerous family. This occasion, however will be the last of its kind to be held under the old roof, for the farm has been, sold and the new owner will soon razo, the pioneer home to the ground to makeroom for the newer and better buildingthat is to supplant it, but the sweet memories of many happy events will live cn through the lives of all the numerousparticipants. It was under the spreading boughs of a grove of giant locust that the infare feast was set of which over a hundred guests partook, and It was long after twilight had faded into night and the full proud moon was well otf its beautiful course shedding its silvery light over the peace enchanted bower, that the last to be served rose from the banquet board, still laden with sufficient to feed an hundred more.

With music and song the evening grew apace, and it was past the hour, which in the land of the midnight sun marks the appearance of the God of Love to bless the candidates for nuptial honors that the last guests took their departure, breathing a long life and much joy to the happy twain they bid good night.

Fifty years ago two young men, John and David Alter,' driving an ox team, struck this town inquiring for a location to farm on the prairie. Our old enterprising townsman, Geo. W.
