consumption. The subject, Miss Angie
Yeaton, has been afflicted with this dread dis
ease for more than a year. Her death seems
especially sad, since she was stricken down
while yet young, AMI with future bright
and full of promise. graduate of the
normal school, she has been intimately con-
nected with many of our schools in the ca
pacity of teacher, in which she has won the
admiration and the love of all. She bore
her sufferings with true fortitude. Death
had no terrorsfor her, but only served to cut
the slender cord which bound her to earth,
that her spirit mi ht soar to the happy be-

moved the father and mother of one family

the latter by an interval of only two DAYS.

known as an active Christian worker in the
