IN MEMORY OF nEs. PESoLA ,assrnoSG

Again has our town been visited by death
when least expected. and taken from us the
wife Of Mr.. G Armstrong, TO whom she
was married seventeen years ago, on the day
Of her death In them, two eongeniai nsturss
met and blended, just as two rivers meet and
mingle their waters together. She was the
mother OF four children, one son and three
daughters, for whom she had an Untold wealth
OF affection. She had heart large enough TO
love her parents, her. husband, her children
and then her friends-and they were many.
She was one Of those genial sunny natures that
carry good cheer and sunshine everywhere.
Her words were kind. her deeds loving, her
experience cheerful, her voice so musical and
inspiring that 1t was almost impossible 10 feel
gloomy In her presence Not only did her
husband and children enjoy her happy nature
and cheerfulness. for she was ever ready to
lend helping hand to the poor. the sick and
afflicted, and many are the friends In vinita
and her country home who will long renem-
Der her for kindness shown them when 1t was
most needed. She lAbored In love. with won-
derful strength OF mind and body, until seven
days before her death, when she was rather
suddenly stricken with innammAtory rheu-
matlsm but WAS not thought to be dangerously
sick until TWEEN y-four hours before the last
Il
I aud vas the fret TO realize her condition and
spoke OF It to her husband and friends
who were watching with her. Then her
| greatest solicltude was for her children,
and especially the little girl who has been
very IN for the past three weeks.
The announcement OF her death was q shock
to the entire town and Vicinity, and many
were the tears shed by those who bore No
other relation 10 her than that Of friend and
acquaintance. The funeral services were con-
Quoted al the Methodist church by the pastor,
Rev l.. W. Rivers, 10 large company ol

case and can be accounted for truly as
the act of the Almighty and to serve
His omnipotent purposes. The little
one was lying on pallet in front Of
the Fireplace and while the mother

greater than its constitution could
Withstand and death came to relieve e

Leland. the Murderer.

The doctor who was arrestedat Alton
two weeks ago and made his escape,
j. A. Leland, hat not been heard of
and II is doubted If he ever will be.
There seems to be little doubt about
the mans identity as the description
given by the authorities in Georgia is
a perfect one OF this man. The parlic-
ulars of the tragedy so far as learned
are these: Leland left wife in Ten
nessee in almost destitute circumstan'
ces aud went to Georgia where he OBJ
iained a situation as guard Of con-
Net camp. While in Georgia he join
a the Free Masons, but member
learning of his past record preferred
charges and he wds suspended from
the lodge. In retaliation Leland in
last April Killed this man and in Octo-
Der appeared at Alton, where he pro
fessed to be doctor. He secured some
practice and as result Of his isea.
pacity one lady was sent almost to
deaths door but physician was sent
for in time to save her. Leland was a
very genteel appearing man and it is
not surprising that he was able to pass
himself for doctor. role ne was not
known to have essayed previously.

A Wife and Mother CONC.

Sunday at midnight the wife of our
fellow.citizen, Geo. A. Armstrong.
passed from earth. Her illness had
not lasted quite week, and 1t was
scarcely twenty.four hours before the
end that the sad announcement was
made that there was no hope. Mrs.
Armstrong; household had passed
hopefully through the epidemic which
has prevailed for some weeks; in her
care for her children she postponed
the natural precautions for her own
safety. Before she had time to think
sof herself il was too late; all that medi-
cal skill, the care Of anxious friends and
neighbors and her own desire to keep
her life and give it to her children,
could do. proved Of no avail; the en- d
V me with appalling suddenness. Mrs.
Armstrong will be remembered by all
who knew her for her personal comeli-
ness and geniality of manner which
we're but the signs of a comely and
genial nature; of a life devoted TO USE
ful and beautiful aims; TO work and
plan for her children, to make the most
for them aud help them to make the
most of themselves was the aim of her
life and the secret of her genial and
happy nature. Her household includ
ed children not her own nor her hus-
bands, and none will mourn her more
sincerely than these. She has earned
for her husband and children the re-
spect aud sympathy of the community
and her memory will be precious heri
taga fOr her children as long as anyone
is left who remembers her and the sin
gular unselnshness aud devotedness oil
her life.

sons why God deserves the allegiance
of every heart. The congregation gave
Mr.. Evans close and earnest attention

prossions of appreciation. Mr.. Evans

There are two rules to follow in
dealing with friends when sus-
pjcious circumstances arise. One
way is to feel assured that your
friends can do nothing dishonest,
and another is to regard them as
thieves. You may hit the nail on
the head occasionally, but its hard
to tell how often.
