McLauchlin, whose home is 1 1-4 miles north of Brussels, had his fine span of heavy -draft gray geldings in Brussels last week and put them on the scales. They bumped the beam at 4,000 pounds. He is deservedly proud of them but the man who comes along with the cash will be allowed to take them. They are a dandy team. (TREY.

She was in Brussels on the previous Saturday but Sunday even- ing not feeling very well she retired to rest. Mr. Carmichael had gone to sleep and was awakened by his wife gasping and she never spoke from that, passing away before the physician arrived.

The bride, who was given away by her brother, George P.

He was one of the pao- moters of the Ilowiek Fire Insurance Co. was President fol a number of years and has been a Director of the Company from its inception till his death.
