WILLIAM CHESTNUT.,

Worn out in the battle of life* William Chestnut, at the ripe old age of 91 years, 2 months and 3. days, passed'into the future life on Saturday of last week. Mr. Chestnut was born at Chillicothe, Ohio, and with his twin brother, Dr. Thomas Chestnut, came to this vie* inity about the year 1832.

He was married to Catharine Bever in the year 1844, to wbipli union three children were given,—— oue daughter and two sons. The daughter, Mrs. John S. Munns an,d one son, are left, the mother, father and brother all having passed into the great future,

Mr. Chestnut «va3 a man^of much business ability in his earlier life an«. was well and favorably known business at Attica, Crawford? vtile Newtown and Wiogate. He was a life long republican, and gave his political energy to thesupport of hie

It was realized that he was slow'ly growing weaker and that life was softly slip ping away, but no thought of the end being so near had eouie to the family. He arose in the morning as usual, eat heartily at breakfast and dinner and before the eveniug came was sleeping the sleep of death, having expired in a moment after having stepped from the house and returning by the aid of iVlrs. Munns.

The funeral services were conducted from the M. E. church at Wingate, by Rev, Postill on Mon day. interment taking place at the cemetery just north of town,

JAMES PIERCE-

James Pierce, was born near Wesley, August 22, 1829 died December 31, 1898 aged 69 years, 4 months and 9 days.

He was married to Lydia Tracey, October 18, 1854, walking life's pathway together for almost fortyfive years, To this union was born ten children, five of whom have passed into the future life and five remain to comfort and lighten the cares of a mother growing old in the battles of lite.

The old home where James Pierce died holds the history of the lives of hiin and Mrs. Pierce and the lives of their family. For forty-thiee years it was on this place they passed through the joys and sorrows, the sunshine and shadows of life together, and while the old place is now made desolate, the family mourns, the death of a husband and father and the community the loss of a good citizen and neighbor.

Mr. Pierce was a member of the Baptist church, having united some twenty years ago, under the preacning of Eld. C. J. Bowles.

The funeral service was conducted from the home on Monday by Rev. Henson, interment taking place at the Masonic cemetery.

Barton Price has been a great sufferer. For six long years, his life has been slowly ebbing away until tne final call came on Monday aud bis spirit was freed from his emaciated and dispased body. Through all bis suffering he was patient, and amid his gtcvilest pain he tried to be cheerful.

The funeral service was conducted on Wednesday by Rev. Henson from the Baptist church, and though the day was a veiy bad one, a large andience of relatives and friends were present. The interment was made at the Masonic cemetery,

The L. and O. U. Lecture.

The lecture in the Opera House. Thursday evening by Rev. A. Ciim, under the auspicies of the Law and Order Union, was well attended, a large crowd being present. The lecture was one of the best and most logical of the kind that we have ever bad the pleasure of listening to, and that which made it the more palatable was the fact that it was entirely devoid of the least tinge of abuse toward any one, A clear statement of existing facts, regarding the law on this matter, and the remedy to be applied and how applied, was the burden of Rev. Crim's talk, and throughout was well received by ail presenJ ||^The "Rough and Ready" Quartette furnished the music for the occasion, which seemed to bit the proper cord and elicited a good round of applause. More as earnest and able speakers as Rev. Crim, enlisted in the temperance work, would soon revolutionize the temperance |8entiment throughout the state and widen and broaden until the wave .would cov^r the entire country,
