From the Hunhpgdon yipdicator.
Miss Mamie Lopez. of Milan, is
loudly praised by the papers for the
heroic manner in which she has acted
since the appearance of yellow fever
at Milan. Beautiful and intellectual,
she faced death for humanity's sake.
Some practice charity because they
gain notoriety, others with the hope
of reward, and Others still because of
that God-giyen love which dwells in
their bosom and always rronspts them
to respond to the cries of the DISTRESSED.
Such anaGne is Mrs. Kate McDou-
gald. She went to Milan one week
ago. and has since been nursing the
SICK in that plague-stricken little city.
She is u noble woman, and does her
charitable acts not for fame or money,
but for that which is better, nobler,
purer and higher in the sight of God
and man-husnanity's sake.
From the Huntington Republican.
On last Friday night Mr. j. A.
Gardner. living near Mckenzie, lost
his dwelling house and nearly all his
household furniture and clothing by
fire. We have not learned how the
fire originated. We sympathize with
Mr.. Gardner in his loss.
