one of exceptional felicity. Two beautiful
little girls have been given, making home
place for the enlargement of aft ections, and
center of attraction. In the solicitude for
friends and relatives, she always made both
feel that any little sacrifice made for their
comfort was indeed a pleasure. Their home

Rev. A. H. Webb. She was an anxious,

They grow apace with years,
Making home above,
Beyond the realm of tears.

The treasured soul took fight.

There will be more than half q crop,
provided that they don't get destroyed
later in the season; while other good
say we will have full crop.
and some few others say the entire crop
is already destroyed and there will not

be remembered that at peach conven-
