Mrs. Eddie w. Barry.

Daruanelle Post, esd.
 Another sad death has occurred in our midst. Mrs. ]. Kolb Barry died at her home in this town on last Sunday, the 18th inst, of flux. All deaths are sad, but this one seems more than usually so. A tond young wife is torn from the embrace of a devoted husband. A tender mother is taken ruthlessly from her helpless babe. A dear sister--the eldest of three who loved each other as orphan sisters should love each other, is removed forever from earth while the two heart broken ones T. main burdened with unspeakable gcief. And there re mains an aunt, familiarity known as "Little Grandma" whose motherly hand was ever near, and other rela- tives and friends, each of whom has | burning tear for the memory of Eddie Barry. whose exemplary walk Tn life Is but to he known to be ap preciated. Mrs. Barry was grand daughter of Rev Cephas Washburne, whose name is coupled with the ear ly history Of Western Arkansas and whose noble traits of character shone forth conspicuously in the subject ol this sketch. She was born near Norristown, Ark, Nov. IT. 1859. Removed with her widowed mother and family to DardanelIe Tn October, 1873, was married Sept. l, 1881, to J. koib Barry, son of Capt. H. P. Barry ol this place. She was con scientious member of the Presbytsri- an church, and her whole life was n beautiful example of the true christ- Ian character. She died in the full triumph of faith.
 Her funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. J. w. Heagan at the fam fly residence on last Monday, and her remains were then followed to the Brearly cemetery and there laid away ny friends.

would be. But there are two, Just as

The two latter are for the passage of
theair we breathe, and no morsel OF God
must enter therein. The architect has
so constructed all of these to prevent
this. that only under certain circum-
