A Time for stxht.Seetng.

There is said to be a time for every
thing. This is the time for sightseeing,
and the Expositions at Louisville, Cincin-
natl and indianapolis are attracting great
crowds of people who desire to take look
at the curious, the useful and the orna-
mental things displayed in these great
bazars. The Louisville and Nashville
Great Southern Railroad is selling round
trip tickets for but little more than one fare.
These tickets are sold on Saturdays and
Mondays, and are good for six days. Now
is the time for pleasant travelling and sight
sseing at comparatively little cost.

Died, March 26th, at her residence in Madison
county, Va, Mrs. MARIA E. KEMPFR, relict OF the
late William Kemper, Esq, in the seth year of her
age.
Mrs Kemper was born in Stafford county, Va,
December 8th 1887. Her maiden name was Allison.
She was in early life brought to the knowledge of
the truth it is Jesus and made profession OF re-
ligion under the ministry of the Rev. e. b. Wilson.
D. D., of Fredericksburg. She was woman of
many and great excellencies of character. Her
mind was we'll cultivated, she had fine musical
taste and a love for poetry and flowers which con-
timed to the latest day of her long fe Her friends
will long recall the sweetness with which she sang
KIRK Whites "Star of Bethlehem" and other choice
old hymns. She never grew old in her feelings, and
as a consequence always attractive to the young
She was so gentle so loving, could talk so pleasant
ly about old times and old people, that the young
always loved to be around her. To those who knew
her well, her whole lite was beautiful full of kind
ness and charity for ALL of sympathy and tenderness
for every sorrowng heart and of earnest prayer to
her Saviour and humble trust in his merits.
The spiritual welfare of her household was the
most prominent object of her life. 1t was her habit
when her children were young to retire daily with
them, ana kneeng before her God to commend
them with tears to His fathery care Who can tell
bow much of that grace which has shone in children
and in chidrens children is due to her prayers and
influence?
She was spared the pain of lingering illness. On
the night of the 18th of March she retired to rest in
her usual health. On the morning of the 26th it
was found that she had fallen sweety asleep in Je-
sus, wearing on her countenance smile that told
If heavenly peace within.
Her children mourn for her parting blessing and
for the love which was suddenly transferred to
higher sphere But she has left to them memory
which is blessed and the legacy OF a holy example
to all who knew her. ID. b. Il.
