In our notice of Dr. Richmond’s death, last week, we stated that he had been a minister in the Advent church for the past ten years. This was a mistake so far as the length of time was concerned, as he, with others, withdrew from that denomination about three years ago, owing to a difference in certain views, and organized a church here called the Church of God, in which denomination the Doctor received credentials as an Elder. As we go to press we are pained to learn that Milton Jones, a prominent, upright and respected farmer of this community, died at 8 o’clock this morning (Friday) from cystitis, after a painful illness of about three weeks.

Mrs. Eliza Fair, widow of the lute Harvey Fair, died early last Tuesday morning at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mi!ton Jones, of near this place, with whom she had made her home since the death of her husband.

We regret that we are without fuller particulars. The funeral services were held Friday at 2 o’clock at North Liberty, and the interment took place in the North Liberty cemetery. Joined The Slirnit Majority. Again are we called upon to chronicle the death of a respected member of this community—Mrs. William G. Brown, who died Saturday night, Ft b. 15, from lung trouble. Her illness was of a very violent nature and of short duration, she having been sick but a few days prior to her death. Mary Adaline Hervey was born June 4, 1843, in Steuben county, N. Y., and was therefore at the time of her death 46 years, 8 months and 11 days of age. When one year old she came with her porents to Indiana. At the age of 18 years she became a member of the Presbyterian church, remaining with that denomination six years, then uniting with the M. E. church of which she was a consistent and conscientious member up to the time of her death. In 18GS, at the age of 24, she was united in marriage to William G. Brown. To them was born one child, Daisy Belle, now 13 years old. To the bereaved father and child the sympathy of this community is extended. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the M. E. church, the remains finding a last resting place in the Walkerton cemetery. Rev. Mathews officiated.

<h«lied Home. The Nappanee News of Febuary 19, gives the fol lowing account of the death of Mrs. Cain, wife of Rev. J. S. Cain, formerly pastor of the M. E. church of of this place: “Death, the unsparing foe, the terrible invader, the severer of the firmest of earthly bonds, entered the home of Rev. J. 8. Cain, the pastor of the M, E. church at this place, on Thursday, the 13th inst. near 3a. m. and claimed as its victim the wife of Mr. Cain. Her death has been expected for some time, and came not as a surprise. She had, for mauy;years, been a sufferer from pulmonary affection but had borne her affliction remarkably. Not for a single day was she confined to her bed. Mrs. Cain was a native of West Virginia, and was born Feb. 15th, 1851. She was the daughter "of David and Mary Ann Fearnow. Mr. and Mrs. Cain ■were married in Northern Indiana Jan. 25th, 1878.

Airs. Cain was a remarkable woman, deeply in love with God, sho was devoted to his service, and closely identified with all the,interests of the church energetic and active in body and mind. She anticipated every need and demand of the cause to which she was so warmly attached. She was interested in the Woman’s Missionary Societies of the church, and gave special attention to the training of the children. She was a constant companion of her husband, and a co-worker with him in every department of the church work, often taking charge of the regular services in the absence of Mr. Cain, ami the pastoral interests were as dear to her as to him. Her funeral solemnities were held at the M. E. church, at 2:30 p, m. Saturday Feb. 15tk, the anniversary of her birth. The obsequies were largely attended by sympathizing friends. The only relatives of deceased present, were the husband, and her sister, Mrs. Josephine Zeiler, of West Virginia.” “The Bright Side of Walkerton," was Rev. Prentice's subject at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. The reverend gentleman, considering his brief residence here and tin little time he had in which to gather statistics, gave a very interesting and accurate statement of the pres -nt volume of business carried on in Walkerton, and showed how this might be greatly increased if every citizen would do his duty in lending a helping hand towards promoting the inter, ts of our town. He thought Week rfon’s future

prospects were very bright, indeed, and he saw no reason why it should not become a town of considerable impoitanee. He also gnve the moral and religious interests of Walkerton their due share of attention. Hv stated thab the per cent. <>f tin' attendance at the Sunday schools of this place was the same as that of Philadelphia, which is one of the greatest Sunday school cities in the world. Our religious ami literary societies were also in a flourishing condition, and should be encouraged in everv way possible, us they would be the means of accomplishing great good in the community. Our schools, he said, were a credit to the town. llm churches of Walkerton, he stated, had a membership of over three hundnd, that being about twenty-five per cent, of the population. He considered tlia* a splendid showing, as he knew of towns the same size of this place whose church membership would not amount to 10 per cent, of the population. A fair sized audience was present who listened in wrapt attention to Rev. Prentice's entertaining talk on ‘’The Bright Side of Walkerton.” MODERN DISCOVERERS.
