We were greatly pained to learn of the ead and untimely death of Mr Walter F. Derrick of the Fork, which occurred Saturday evening while he ( and two of bis eons were cutting I down a trep, off of which a limb broke and fell upon him indicting such serious injuries that he died in a few hours. He was beyond human i aid and all that loving hands could do could not relieve suffering or balk ' the mission of death. ] Mr. Derrick was in his 57th year. He leaves to mourn his death a wife, 1 ten children and a host of friends. He was a consistent member of ! Bethel Lutheran church. Au evi- , dence of the'esteem in which he was < held by his neighbors, was the large crowd that attended bis funeral at High Hill, Sunday evening at 3 p m. 1 The funeral services were conducted : by Rev. S C. Ballentine, who deliv- | ered a very feeling and touching , ^ermon. I He was a warm friend of this 1 writer and we extend totbe bereaved family our sympathy and trust that they will be comforted and consoled by a Higher and Greater than we. Letter to W. W. Barre.

A bill affecting labor contracts was discussed and passed to a second reading.
