Rov. Thomas M. Aikman was born In

10th , 1008. Mr. Aikman had a hard
siege of Lugrippe In the early part of
the winter , from which he only partially
recovered , although ho walked down
town on Thursday before ho died , and
his death came as a great shock to the
whole community. The funeral was
preached on Friday afternoon , at two-
thirty , at the Holiness church , by Rev.
Ben net Maze of Dawsoa. A good man
has gone from our midst , wherever
there was sorrow or suffering , his kind
ly face was seen and his voice heard ,
giving sympathy and encouragement ,
and wo fully believe that every ono of
his many acquaintances will any "He
has douo what he could. " Yes , what
ho could to encourage good , what he
could to suppress evil , what ho could to
lift up the discouraged one , what he
could to cheer the sorrowing one.
About n year ago the writer heard him
say "when 1 tun laid In the silent city ,
I do not want my friends to come there
and weep , but I want them to sing by
my resting place. But the many tears
that were shed by friends on the day
when he was laid away from our sight ,
was only for the broken association ,
and sympathy for the lonely wife and
children left fatherless The casket
was literally covered with beautiful
and fragrant flowers , silent tributes of
loving friends , oven the school children
adding their beuutlf-'l offering to the
children's friend. Words of sympathy
to the bereaved ones sound weak , but
they arc sincere and come from the
whole community , only hoping that in
some way they might a lltttlo lessen
the ache to the sorrowing hearts of rel
atives , who grieve for the departed
one. but trust In the Ono whom he
trusted to the end. and sometime will
understand.

Mr Hartman and Benjamin Koof
were in St Joseph the fore part of the
week looking for u team of horses to
1111 a vacancy caused by the former sellIng -
Ing his fine team It was with consid
erable difficulty that they were enabled
to purchase anything desirable , as all
good horses seem to be bought as soon
as placed on the market-
The store Is still closed but hopes are
entertained of selllnsr the stock soon ,
as there are several bidders for it. It
works quite a hardship on the Inhabi
tants of this village to be compelled to
drive five or six miles to buy groceries
and other necessities , when tbo goods
are in town. Still we can not justly
complain , because the law must take
its course. Ferd Harlow of Falls City
is in charge of the store and is patiently
awaiting the instructions of the credit
ors for the disposal of the same ,
