IN MEMORIAM.

Once more it devoIves upon us to per-
form the sad task OF chronicling the death
of one of ou- citizens
Mrs. Emma Green was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Mcguire, who were
residents of this place in ante bellum days.
She was born and raised in Lake Proyi-
dence. She was twice married. her first
husband being Mr.. VIM. Free. Her last.
Mr. r. C. Green, to whom she was united
in marriage about nine years ago, and who
now survives her.
She died peacefully at her home on the
evening of October 10th, surrounded by her
sorrcwing husband and brother and many
sympathizing friends She suffered in
tensely but patiently for three weeks, the
disease battling the skill of her physician
and the unwearied ministration OF rela-
tives and friends.
Death found her willing and ready to go,
but she longed to live for the sake of her hus-
band and brothers, Frank and Zette. upon
whom she lavished wealth of affection.
We deeply sympathize with the bereaved
ones, who have lost their greatest earthly
treasure. She was for many years a COM
muncant of the Episcopal church, and was
eyer ready to prove her faith by works of
charity and kindness to the needy and
afflicted. Several days before her death she
called her loved ones to her bedside and
TRANQUILITY told them of approaching death
and gave them words of comfort and admo-
milton. On the day previous to her death
the rector. Mr.. Guerin being present. she
requested communion to be administered.
A devoted wife and sister, a true friend and
charitable woman has thus passed to the
"Other Shore"
The casket containing her remains.
covered with flowers, was borne to Grace
Church, when Mr.. Guerin delivered an
eloquent and appropriate sermon suitable
TO the occasion.
Her body was then laid away IN Proyi-
dence Cemetery among other kindred who
have gone before; there to await those.
whom they have SO utterly bereft here.

French's New Sensation" showed
here on Friday and Saturday evening
oflast week to very good houses. The
show ia worth the price of admission,

The onlv objection to it, is the acts are
too much alike, and three hours of
almost the same thing over again gets
too monotonous. Take it all in all
though, it is as good as visits Provi-

The amount of trade that has come
to our town from West Carroll already
this season, should put a move on our
merchants TO have still better road
leading to the Hills The road that
was cut out and improved some time
ago, has increased the Hill business
considerably, and if the tole can be
taken off for crossing the pontOon
bridge at the Corbin ferry, we will have
more trade from that direction.
