w are very sorry To learn ui the
death Of Mrs. Heathcrngton, wife of
Uncle Willie Heatherington, of South

Disciples Church on Belmont street, at
2 o'clock T.. NJ, where her funeral sermon
will be preached, after which the funeral
procession will proceed TO the ceremony.

heartfelt sympathy to Mr.. HeatherIng-
ton. in this hour OF sore a1ii IctlOn to hun.

the West. We wish her safe journey,
and hope that her brightest anticipa-
tions of pleasure may be fully realized.
