Death of Mrs. F.. D. Meade.

With silence only as their benediction,
Gods angels come
Where, in the shadow OF a great afliction,
The soul sits dumb
Although generally known that
she was seriously, if not dangerously
i'll, yet this fact in nowise lessened
the shock OF surprise with which the
news of Mrs. Mead's death was re-
ceived Oh Saturday evening last,
which occurred at few minutes past
seven o'clock. She had been ill for
several weeks, the latter one Of which
it was thought she was convalescent,
but during the latter part of the week
the disease assumed a new form, and
the kind min~istrations of relatives
and friends and the best of medical
skill was unavailing. Thus has an
other loved and dear one, in the morn
ing Of life, been suddenly and unex-
pectedly called away.
All through her illness Mrs. Meade
bore her sufferings with wonderful
fortitude; and although there were
many periods during her sickness
when her relatives and friends lost
hope she never did, for it seemed to
her that she could not die and leave
her little ones. The death of each is
ever mourned under peculiar circum-
stances, but this sad bereavement
seems especially to call forth the
heartfelt sympathy of all, for the
mourning husband and relatives, and
above all for the little ones she has
left, the youngest but five weeks old
and the Oldest, four years, who will
never realize the loss of the kind,
devoted mother, who in Heaven
awaits the coming Of those she loved
on earth. A dutlfu,, a%ffectionate
daughter, as a sister, loving and kind,
a DEVOTED wife, and very strong in
her love for her friends, she endeared
herself to all, and many hearts go
out to the bereaved family filled with
the deepest sympathy. Mrs. Meade
was thirty three years of age.
Mr.. Mead, the two oldest children
and Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman left Tues
day morning with the remains for
Beloit, Wis, the old home, where the
last sad rights will be performed.

Here's Something for You, Girls.

The proper thing to do now is to
send your lover a silk handkerchief
with his monogram embroidered by
yourself in your own hair instead of
embroidery silk. Devotion can do
no more This is a custom of long
ago revived, and is really a pretty
one.-JHitcheU Null.
incidentally, we add the following
hints, which should be observed: In
order to make the colors harmonic
well a red headed girl wants to work
a deep green handkerchief. If her
hair partakes something of an auburn
hue, a light blue would be preferable.
Blond hair will look well on a light
blue handkerchief; black hair with
a salmon OF light green color. A
brown-haired girl would show good
taste by working a light blue 'ker-
chef, while a girl with light brown
hair should select one of a carm,ne
color. You know our postofice adj
