Seasonable News
What is popularly termed the Christmab Holiday Trade, is, a short,
busy season with us. We cannot nfford the time or space to make
it a long, drawn out feature in our business, nnd so prefer to
corine it to something- like two weeks, or under, when the in
ducements offered to our pations are usually sufficient to make
helling' brisk from the hour of formal opening', till the closing
hour on Christmas eve. Hitherto we have found this plan to
work well and considering the extreme merit of this season's of
ferings we have no reason whatever to doubt that the result
will be different this year.

from Her Late Home on East

I
The funeral of Mrs, Alary B. Moyer,
wife of Stephen .Moyer, took place from
her late home on ICast .Market street
Saturday afternoon. Cov. Oeorge Cure,
pastor of the Providence .Methodist
Kplscopal church, officiated and a
quartette from that church rendered
several musical selections. The pall
bearers were: Oeorge Teary, Anthony
Long, John Wldenor, Charles Graham,
lid win J. Pearce and William Hal
stead. , Interment was made at Forest
Hill ceiiVotery. During the course of his
remarks at the funeral services Uev.
Mr. Cure said:
"Airs. .Mary P.. Moyer, whose death
has brought sorrow to this circle of
mourning; friends, was born in Kellers
ville, Alonroe county, this state, til
years ago the L'Oth or last March. Her
parents were Simon and ISllzabeth Ny
han, one of the old families o! that
placvc. Mr. Aloyer and she were mar
lied about It years ago. They were Just
starting nicely In life when the war
for the t'niiiii broke out, and cal.ed so
many patriotic young men to the front.
Air. Aloyer, then young and vigorous,
was among those who offered them
selves, rjreat as was the sacrifice on
his part, it was no greater than that
of his young wife, who, with two chil
dren, must care for her little ones
alone, and share with him through lov
ing symiiat.iy in the hardships of the
camp and the dangers of the Held.
Providentially Ills life was spared lo re
turn, and the soul that had offered so
many prayers for his safety, thanked
Cod with gratitude when they could
again dwell together at home.
"For the last six years or more, Airs.
Aloyer had been In feeble and declining
health; and this sad ondLug was not
unexpected, though at the close the
dark messenger came suddenly. But,
thank Hod, he found her ready. For
many years Mrs. Moyer has been a
member of the Ceformed Lutheran
church, and has shown a consistent and
loving Christian spirit. She was not a
member of the Providence Methodist
Kplscopal church, and yet she always
worshipped Ood with our people, when
able to attend services, and was a lib
eral supporter of all the church's work.
Her position toward the church is seen
in the general Impression . that she
was a member, and In the loving fel
lowship In which she was held. 1 only
voice the farewell of Hie church in say
ing they mourn hoi as a beloved sis
ter. i- childhood homo is now represent
ed by only three of thoso who, a gen
ma Hon ago, made a happy family cir
cle: Brother ,l, T. Nyhart of this place.
Airs. Samuel Hunshiie of Northamp
ton county, and Airs. John Clchards
of Taylor. Her own Immediate home,
sitting near her In body, and nearer
still ill tender love, is composed of hus
band and seven children, all residing
In Scranton.
The children will cherish her memory
as a wise, a resourceful, an Indulgent
mother Mr. Aloyer will mourn her
as the companion of his early trials,
a brave helper In nil his hard problems
and heavy labors, a wise counsellor,
and the truest and best earthly friend
he bus ever known. And now, may the
Hod who comforts like a mother, like
this mother did to the extent of her
ability, comfort all of you who mourn;
making yon reconciled to all His will
and ways, and llually reunite you all
in heaven."
