children Of God At midnight of Friday last, a
ter slight indisposition, Mrs. McKim became
unconscious, remaining in that state until tle FOL

temper, Won hosts of admiring friends For
twenty five years her father was principal Of the
Female Institute OF Stanton. Va, and hundreds
of fine wives and mothers, scattered all through
this broad Southern land, will remember with at-
fiction the sweet daughter to the household. ln
