gle. daughter of Mr.. Tillman D. Padgett,
which sad event occurred on Wednes-
dav morning at the home of her parents
near Elmwood, in Ibis county. The
cause Of her death vas typhoid fever.
She WAS n lovely girl of about seventeen
summers, and only those who have ex-
Deriencad a like affection can realize the
sorrow of the stricken parents. To tell
them that they have our sympathy is but
poor consolation. The hushed voice, the
vacant chair, their crushed hopes ~
almost broken hearts, constantly remind
them that their darling is gone. Mys-
te-ious providence. that takes the bloom
ing maiden and leaves the aged to mourn.
But the secret is with Him, who doeth

than once TO be a man Of very noble and
benevolent instincts, and his late Christ

adds another to the already long list of
beautiful deeds that grace his youthful
career. This was four large, lovely and
elaborate hanging lamps of a pattern now
very popular and fashionable. And as
these lamps cast their brilliant but yet
mallowed light upon all around and be-
low, they shed Il two-fold blessing-up3n
him that gives and rpon him that takes.
But greater upon him that gives, for it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
