Her death was very sudden and unexpected, and comes like a thunderbolt from a clear sky to the bereaved husband, parents, brothers and sisters, who have the heartfelt sympathy of this entire community in their sore affliction. Deceased was a devoted wife, a kind and affectionnte daughter, and was loved by all who knew her. The funeral services were at the Chastain church yesterday afternoon and wero conducted by Elder J. H. Willey-

Tuk Sabbath School concerts given irt the Presbyterian church last Friday and Saturday evenings were not very well attended on account ofbad weather. The exercises, however, were of a pleasing character, and those who participated in them arc entitled to credit for the able manner in which they acquitted themselves. The quartette, entitled “The Professor at Home,” by the Misses Coen, Messrs. Tharp and Benjamin, was exceedingly well rendered and was hishly appreciated by the nndlence. Also the duet, “Sweet Angel,” from ths opera of “Diamond Cut Diamond,” by Miss Belle Aller and Prof. J. T. Abbott, is deserving of special mention. The Hopkins’ House, one of the best hotels in Northern Indiana, treated its guests and a large number of invited friends to a real old fashioned turkey dinner Christmas. We know whereof we speak when we say it was a rich least for wc had the pleasure of partaking of it. This popular house has won for itself an enviable reputation and is known far and near for its good table, clean bids and reasonable term*. No Indre accomodating landlord can be found anywhere than “Mine Host” Hopkins, and belter cooks than Mrs. Hopkins one might look the world over for in .vain. When you want a good square meal, or a nice clean bed, give the Hopkins’ House a call. Tkacki.aying on the Narrow Gauge has progressed as far as the county line and will be pushed this w’ay now without further delay unless the weather prevents. The exceedingly unfavorable weather of the past three weeks has placed the roads in an almost impassable condition and rendered it impossible to get lies along the line of the railroad. Hence the delay. The company, however, have made arrangements to get 10,000 ties at or near Michigan City, we are told, which will be delivered at. Bradford immediately. These, with what are distributed along the line this way further, will be sufficient to tie the road as far as the river. Then let us be patient a little while longer. Another month will help us “out of the woods.” Then for the barbccue.2ZZZZ- —

Uhristsias has come and gone. The day was gloomy and disagreeable, but nevertheless, everybody seemed determined to make the best of it by wearing happy faces and good clothes. All day long crowds of men, women and children might have been seen parading the streets and greeting each other with smiles and “Merry Christmas.” Christmas for the little folks began Monday evening with a Christmas house at the M. E. Church and a Christmas tree at the Christian church, both of which were nicely arranged and richly decorated with presents. There were presents of every description. Costly presents and cheap presents. Fi'esents for the rich and presents for the poor. Present sfor-thc young antl presents for the old. In fact we never seen so many presents before. Both churches were comfortably full of people, all of whom enjoyed themselves io the best of style. “The Old 13’' opened their series of engagements at Starr’s Hall, Christmas night, with the grand spectacular temperance drama, “The Fatal Glass,” or “The Curse of D j;,piicjm.lißg-. ivtlK the

laughable farce, “They All Do It.’’ They were greeted with a lull house, and well did they deserve it, fur all who were fortunate enough to be there will bear us out in the statement that it was one of the best entertainments ever given in this place. The characters were all well represented, and the plays were rendered in the finest style. We must say we were agreeably surprised at the amount of theatrical talent that has been developed in this troupe since its organization only a few short weeks ago. Many of them liad iieyPF Eg peared upon the stage before, and the business was all new to them, but under the management and instruction of Mr. Charles A. Edmonds, (to whom a great deal of credit is due) their first, effoyt was a complete success. Last night was presented the thrilling drama “Michael Erle.^’—OF-^TTre—Maniac Lover,” concluding with the very amusing farce, “More Blunders Than One,” both of which were rendered as nearly perfect as they could have been by older and more experienced treupes. The management was favored wiih a little better audience than that which greeted the rendition of “The Fatal Glass,” on the previous evening, which was an indication that their efforts were properly The net proceeds of the two entertainments were in the neighborhood of SIOO, which; judiciously expended, will go far towards placing the cemetery in good repair.
