His familiar face will be seen no more among his numerous friends, nor his cheerful voice be heard In his once cheerful and happy home. For happy indeed was that home until death had entered aud laid its Icy hand •n one of the fairest members of that family circle. His comrades will long speak of his worth arid mourn his loss. He died as he lived, without an enemy aud with tut repro ich. He made good use of the means afforded for an education In ^he district sehool an<f finally dosed his studies by a course at the Valparaiso Normal, wliere.hls standing was excellent, and where he waa highly respected by his teachers and associates.. More recently ho fitted himself for a life of usefulness by mastering tlie art of Telegraphy, to which he gave too much attention and unrest, thus sowing tlie scads of the disease which caused death.

We are all very much pleased with the passage or the Chicago A Kvaastoa railroad ordinance iu Chicago, which makes the prospects for a railroad here better than ever before. And following this Is an application from a party in Chicago to rent the Null property for four years, for the purpose of starting a straw board factory. They asked a great many questions about the amount of rye, wheat and oat straw raised around here, cost of fitting up tlie property, supply of water, eoet of day labor, etc., which seems as though they meant business. The only fears Solon people now have Is that the person now controlling the property will hold it above or just out of reach of any and everyboby who would like to do some­ thing with It; but let us hope for tho best.
