*Death of Asa D. Baber - Asa D. Baber, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Baber, was born near Dow City, Iowa, August 23, 1884 and died at his home Jan.3, 1909, aged 24 years, 4 months and 11 days. He gave evidence of conversion - when 11 years of age. Although not a member of any church, he was a believer and believed in doing right for right's sake and in giving to everyone justice, not in fear of punishment but because it was right. He was by profession a telegrapher, and had held places of responsibility and trust in Chicago and other large places, his last position being in the chief dispatcher's office at Matoon, Ill. His health failed about eighteen months ago. He visited many eminent specialists but they only gave temporary relief. He returned home from Arizona six weeks ago and has since been confined to the house. All that medical skill or kind, loving care could do could not save him.

Have you shivered by the furnace with the pimples on your flesh, big as berries on a platter and a deuced sight more fresh? Have you daubed your nice white nighty with the coal soot and the grime and just frozen stiff and hoary as you watched the flight of time?

*Wedding Bells - On Wednesday evening at the home of the grandparents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Huntington, well known and respectable citizens of our town, occurred the wedding of Miss Norinee Fishel to Mr. Harold Alexander. The bride is one of our choicest young ladies while the groom is one of our best young men. They both have grown from childhood in our midst and are too well known to need any introduction from us to the people of this community. The groom has a home provided a mile east of town which they will soon occupy. The Enterprise extends warmest congratulations, wishing for them happiness and prosperity.
