The death of Mrs. w. 7. Meek
which took place last Saturday af-
tern0on was one of the saddest that
ever occurred in this city. She died
at home alone, from cause unknown,
but supposed to be some heart
trouble, between one and twoo' clock
and discovery Of the fact was not
made until six o'clock when Mrs.
Patrick, neighbor, happened to
call and found her lifeless body ly-
ing on the floor of her dressing APP
artment. Her husband left her at
the dinner hour apparently in good
health and in excellent spirits. She
spoke to him Of feeling better than
usual and of her intention to visit
some of her friends during the af
ternoon. From the surroundings of
the death chamber it is evident she
was preparing to make these calls
when the dread summons came.
That her death was sudden and
painless is evidenced by the fact
that her eyes were closed and her
face wore calm expression as if in
gentle slumber
Heartrending, always, is death
like this. But there is this consola
tion to the stricken husband and
two little children, relatives and
friends, the memory of life so no
BILE, so self-sacrifeing, so worthy of
emulation in every way will remain
forever an inspiration and bene
diction.
Services were held Sunday after
noon at the family residence by Ed.
G. W. Harkey, who preached a
touching funeral sermon. After
ward the remains were taken to the
city cemetery for interment followed
by large number of friends and
relatives.
To the husband and family who
are heart broken the most profound
and sincere sympathy of the entire
community is rendered.

The street committee is doing some
much needed work on the streets. 1t
ought to continue until every thorough
fare is placed in good condition.
The interest in the revival at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church has
continued undated during the week
just passed. DIR. Flaniken breaches able
and effective sermons each night to large
congregations. The morning and after
noon services are also well attended and
very beneficial. The singing by the
choir is excellent and adds greatly to
the services. About 60 persons have
protested pardon of their sins and many
penitents are seeking the way Of eternal
life. The christian people have been
greatly revived and strengthened. There
will be services as usual the balance OF
the week.

Teachers in this county are in re-
eeipt of a circular announcing the is
suance of publication at Morrilton cali
ed the Teachers Quarterly. The name
of K. B. Skyles appears as editor and
that Of l.. Gordon as manager. The al
legged object Of the book is ''to help teach
ers pass the rigid examinations now in
force, and to assist them to pass the June
examinations without trouble" The
implication, of course, is that such an
swers are contained in the book as will
enable any dullard to secure as high
grade certificate as he might desire with
out effort or qualification. If the book
really assisted in accomplishing this re-
suit it would be bad enough, but it leaves
that impression and falls far short of do
ing it. The book contains full list OF
the questions propounded in the March
examinations, but as those questions will
never be submitted again they are con-
sequently worthless for future use. The
best thing teachers can do is to let this
scheme alone and save their money for
a better cause. Prof. Lee and County
Examiner Pucket heartily condemn the
publication, as all other teachers in SYM
pathy with the elevation of their calling
are in honor bound to do.
