Mary A. Andis, died at her resi-
dence, six miles south Of Jonesboro,
May A 1885, in the seventy-second
year of her age. Mrs. Andis was
twice married, first to Mr.. Nathaniel
H. Wills in Harrisonburg, Va, Oct, 2,
1887, and then to Mr.. Adam Andis in
Jonesboro, Tenn, June IS, 1860.
She was a member Of the Baptist
Church, and had been for forty-one
years. Her last illness was marked
by great suferings of body, Though
she was unable to talk to her friends
and relatives while crossing the "last
river" yet they derive comfort from
the record Of long life of professed
christian conservation and union with
the people of God. 1t would have
given her children and friends so
much comfort to receive her dying
testimony to her interest in the
Saviour, but they were denied this hap
py privilege. Dying in the faith of
Jesus, all christians have the presence
OF God in the hour when human
friendship and love must fail OF giving
help in the final conflict with the
King Of Terrors. Though nonote of
triumph may come up from the dying
strife, yet Jesus gives His people VIC

Children, you should not indulge in
over much sorrow, for your dear
mother had lived out her "three score

as "ripe sheaf" for the grand and
glorious Garden of the Saved. She
was buried in the Speed well cemetery
where her body will sleep till the
resurrection morn. May Heaven
bless her children and friends, and
bring them to the Home Of the Saved

The denial made by DR.. Winslow

the President as informing him that
he would be married on June 2, is
ludicrous in view Of all the facts. He
not only made the statement attribut-
ed to him just after leaving the Presi-
dents room at the White House, but
repeated it to a score of people before
he left for New York. According to
several dispatches sent from New

AdInirfng

Almost any day between u and 5 in
the afternoon a visitor to the House OF
Representatives can see in the mem
bers' gallery tall, handsome woman,
with three pretty children ranging
from one to eight years Of age. The
lady is Mrs. Rogers, wife of Repre-
sentative Rogers, of Arkansas, The
evident admiration with which her
eyes follow every movement OF her
husband has become a matter Of COM
ment to the gallery habitues. She
is usually in her place by the time the
Chaplain begins his prayer and sell
dom leaves before o'clock Her face
is a study whenever her husband
rises to speak. 1t is a beautiful face
too-one Of those dark, oval South
ern faces, lighted up with black eyes
whose expression is mingling Of in
telligence, refinement and passion.
While Rogers is speaking her express
sion is a mirror Of the current of his
thoughts Though Mrs, Rogers is the
most conspicuous of the Congress
mems wifes who like to listen to their
husbands speaking she is by no means
the only looker-on.
Mrs. Morrison is as frequent a Wis
itor to the House. She is usually ac-
companied by one OF more young la
dies. When Mr.. Morrison takes the
floor, especially if any revenue matter
is under consideration, she listens to
his words eagerly but with out any
emotions expressed in her face; in
fact, she seems to be giving a critical
hearing to his arguments with view
to discussing them afterwards. 1t will
seem the more likely that this is her
purpose when it is remembered thai
she is fully abreast with her husband
in political economy. All his tariff
bills have been prepared with hel
assistance. She is tireless reader o
politico-economic works. Those who
know her say she is as well versed il
Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill ant
Ricardo as most women are in Berths
Clay's novels. Indeed, rumor has i
that Mr.. Morrison's speeches pass
through her revising hands befor'
delivery. 1t is only natural thel
that she is always at hand whel
productions Of which she is the join
author are to be given to the world.
