agent Is on the ROAD ana Will Sillle on
you soon. We are putting in some of
the weekly papers including Boston Jour
nal and Y. Y. Tribune at 45 cents with
the MONITOR. We do not keep the offer
open beyond Jan. 1.
Some of the readers of the MONITOR
have desired that we give them continued
or long stories, in place of the short ones
we usually publish. This week we start
one which viii run in several issues. We
suppose it TO be very good one, but our
story-reading days went by many years
since and we find no time now to deal in
fiction and do not read it. 1t will, how
ever, be very interesting serial to such
as read stories.
| 1t is with sadness that we record the
death of Nellie Percival, daughter of
Chas. F. Percival, which occurred last
Wednesday from diphtheria. Her broth
err Freddie had been ill previously with
sore throat probably diphtheria, and had
recovered. The little girl was stricken
down with the dread disease on the 22d
ult. and, though quite sick at first, the
physicians hoped for an immediate recov
cry. After some days the disease devel-
oped in the bronchial tube and nothing
seemed to stay it's progress. As a last
resort tube was inserted and she was
relieved of suffocation for the time being.
Finally the disease took hold of the lungs
and the end came. Everything that the
best of care and medical skill could do
was done to save precious life. Nellie
was eleven years of age, and was one of
the loveliest children in the whole village.
She was unusually precocious in all that
pertained to the work of a woman, and
was as much beloved by all who knew
her as a child could be. The funeral was
held on Thursday, with services at the
house. Friends provided several most
beautiful floral tributes. Mr.. PercivaI's
people feel very grateful to all who as
sisted them in the hours of their trial, to
the many who contributed flowers for the
burial service, and to those who have ex-
tended them their sympathy in their grief.
The death was Il sorrow to the whole
community.
