Death of Miss Lettie White.

We learn that Miss Lettie White,
formerly of this place, but who has
lived in New Orleans for the last
two years, died of the prevailing
epidemic. We have no particulars
as to her death, but We drop tear
to the memory of one whom we
have known and loved from her
childhood. Early left an orphan,
she had to battle fur herself in this
world and we trust our Father has
received her to mansions on high.
Peace to her ashes.

Bishop Elder paid a flying visit
to us during the past week. He
visits Canton in the interest of the
parish. The venerable Prelate
looks worsted from an attack of the
prevailing fever.
We understand that the church
has sustained heavy losses IN the
death of Priests and Sisters of Mer-
cy, and it is with difficulty that all
of the vacancies can be FILED.
The Bishop has been rendered a
high ecclesiastical appointment in
California, but owing to the immense
amount of labor accruipg in a
great measure from the past cpl.
dem;c, in the State of his adoption
it IS generally understood that lie
will decline.
